With regards to this recent moderation controversy - Let's fix beige

[Raphael]

It's been years since Azaghul first pitched a simple fix to allow for all wars to end in beige. It was debated, discussed, tweaked... and died on the table.

It's been years since the game dev/design team was announced, almost on the heels of beige fix discussions to allow all wars to end in beige. I can vouch and say we've been discussing it on/off ever since.

Now, in the midst of a global war, we see that relying on a single person to manually review every single report and interpret the rules is a flawed system.

 

It's been years. Let all wars end in beige, let the meta shift, let the players figure out new strategies - but let's pull the damn trigger and start moving forward with such a simple fix.


Here's where we stand, there are two different solutions proposed:

1. Beige gives 3 days instead of 2, losing an offensive gives you nothing and moves you to grey, beige cap of 5 days max, expired defensives give defenders beige.

2. All wars end in beige, beige going to whoever has less resistance. In a tie, the defender gets beige time. Beige timer doesn't start ticking until all active wars end.

Who is "we"? I thought the planned implementation on the test server was that:

3. Expired wars end in beige for the defensive nation with no looting or infra damage.

 

There's already text on the test server for this!

It's being worked on. I'll hopefully have something for public consumption this or next week depending on how long the design team discussion takes. I was out of town for several days, but am back now are working on it.

If getting sent to beige is going to prevent you from declaring any new wars until the beige expires this is one of the stupidest things the dev team has ever done. Do you people even play the game?
