Disable Foreign Aid altogether
StevieG replied to Knights of the Grail's topic in Tournament Edition Suggestions
Find me just 1 other player who thinks your Defeat Alert suggestion, and then not allowing DAs for half the day, makes perfect sense. You are so wrong it's laughable. OP is not turtling. If you think it's such a problem and you have a solution, go create your own thread about it. This thread is how Foreign Aid has wrecked the round. Turtling has nothing to do with it. -
If Armen too is OK with it, and if the both of you can promise not to then endlessly publicly brag or complain or bicker about it, then my vote is yes. Otherwise, no please.

Bump cause I don't know either.

Knights of the Grail replied to Knights of the Grail's topic in Tournament Edition Suggestions
The most practical tactics in this round have been to: #1. Pass a giant yarn-ball-of-tech, or even giant 3 yarn-balls-of-tech to one account, flatten an opponent, and pass the tech along. #2. Have a larger gang to create #1. -
Did not see a "FL is an idiot, so yes" option. Walked away disappointed.

No, they make perfect sense. You just don't like them because turtling is a crucial part of OP's strategy. Right now, for OP, it's "Heads I win; Tails you lose." If you're able to win, you win. If you aren't, you turtle and rebuild stronger. That is bonkers, and no other game (including the SE version of CN) works that way. Again, it's super telling how hard you're fighting these changes. TE is a short round. A temporary thing. There's no reason not to experiment with things, and turtle-nuking is objectively a problem. But you don't want to even consider changing that dynamic, because then you'd have to compete in good faith, and that's just not something you're interested in. -

StevieG replied to Knights of the Grail's topic in Tournament Edition Suggestions
People generally only turtle in TE when they have to as well, or are simply inactive. There are of course exceptions. Its always been a valid tactic especially when you are beat down. It can come down to simple math. We have not been turtling at all as a strategy. When "Buy troops so you don't get DAd" pings are being sent out we know we arent lol. You are right, FL cannot actually identify what exactly he has a problem with. And he can't even come close to a fix. -

StevieG replied to Knights of the Grail's topic in Tournament Edition Suggestions
Because your only suggestions to "curb turteling" are nonsensical. Example; You want to change one game mechanic (make DAs crazy strong) and then you need to create a fixew for the side effects (no DAs in the AM). That is bonkers. This is off topic. This is not the reason you lost. You also didn't lose because admin deleted some of your farm nations and left our traders to play as normal. Foreign Aid is terrible for this game. We've held back and actually allowed the rest of you to play. Gain the million casualties easy etc. It is also incredibly boring internally, and ends up being unfair as to who we "pick" for X and Y. Politics can come into play at any stage, anyone can be ganged up on, and then an extremely unbalanced round plays out again with foreign aid available. Being a good nation builder doesn't mean anything at all with foreign aid. You just need more friends. -

Why you scared thou?

Why would you make think of ramen at this hour on a weekday? FL, Armen, I hope you both can remain civilized and solve this with conversation and agreements rather than with nuclear violence. But if that's not possible then give us a good show!
-
Beer and nukes, what could go wrong?
-
Is this possibly one of the few things almost all of CN can get behind?
-
Ramen has a job. Firingline has a mouth. My money's on Ramen.

FL should just grow a pair and just do it

I hope SCM's parasite finds a home inside you next.

Should Armen duel firingline?
Knights of the Grail replied to firingline's topic in World Affairs (IC)
Did you throw a gauntlet at his feet, and did he pick it up? -
I heard from a friend that Armen was seen packing his bags.
-
I hope both teams lose.
