Is the intent of the inactive deletion to simply remove the nations that aren't being used anymore?


Or is deletion meant to be used as some sort of ultimate end-result of war? I've been told several times that because of my alliance affiliation I "will not be allowed to play the game anymore.."

are other players really to be given the power to ensure someone is not allowed to play the game anymore?

a public example of this:

"placeholdin'' until deletion"

I'm not being actively attacked, at zero infrastructure, and not able to mount an offense, so they stagger their declarations on me till i am inactive for 20 days and am deleted. My question is simple, is this the intent? Drive people from the game and cause their nations to be deleted?"

Actually it is to make it easier on the server by getting rid of unused nations.

The scenario you describe is just an unintended side effect of it. Is it fair? Maybe not. Can we really do anything about it? Not really. I suggest talking to the people doing it to see if you can come to some sort of arrangement.

They can do this to you. However can't you just collect taxs to avoid this?

Since you have 0 infra, and your resources aren't any good anyway i would think you wouldn't be that unhappy about it?

Quite wrong. Those are great resourses if you're ZI'ed. Furs is great, gems is godly.

Having no real attachment to something doesn't negate the odd position others are taking against me. I've been told "if you delete and recreate, we will find you and ZI that nation until deletion too!" in more colorful language of course.

The deletion is being purposed as a weapon to at least psychologically drive people away from the game, even if not entirely feasible. I could recreate my nation with a different name, color, alliance, etc. effectively going into "hiding" I suppose, but what is being represented to me is "We will make sure you never play Cybernations again!" (almost verbatim quote) no wonder the numbers are dwindling so and the top 5% score is skyrocketing.

You must have done something really serious to get that. If you do recreat then I doubt they would find you if you're smart.

of course, i was nuked first. after that, i let loose every last one of them.

[rozalia]

Well then I doubt you'll get peace. You should have surrended.

[MaGneT]

Just ride it to deletion, and remake. Let your account expire after 5 days of not making a nation (that's the rule) and then you can have a totally different name.


Just don't go nuke rogue on your attackers once you remake.

[Timberland]

lol your a FAN member. GOOD LUCK

[Saniel]

As one of the people attacking this nation, you have not surrendered, so the continued attacks are the result of no one's actions but your own.

As far as the intent, I can not speak for the others, but my intent is to have you surrender or to keep swinging.
