Oh no GPA has more pixels than my alliance how unfair?

Given that we have no small number of nations who ran out of things to do several years ago? For something as utterly unexciting as this, we can reasonably expect a percentage of stragglers who don't give enough of a damn, and that it will take awhile to get them all back on the AA As do I in mine. We could keep a watch over all *checks* 296 IRON members as they make their way back to the AA, what I'm questioning is the value of the kind of effort that implies. AA hopping rogues are neither that common, nor a real problem, ghosts are simply a nice source of target practice. It should be entirely possible to switch over to the the new system without this much trouble. Yes because there are clearly a massive pile of large alliances with massive activity issues hemorrhaging 40 nations a day to deletion but managing to buoy themselves with recruitment.....

Then you're vastly overestimating your alliances activity levels, or are just plain batshit.

Regardless of whether it's admins job to worry about those players, it is the job of their alliances and this improvement to the game is a solution to a non-issue "affecting" the alliances who will be most inconvenienced by that solution. It is Admins job to not pointlessly waste our time.

Persistent rogues AA hopping and Ghosts. The former are annoying because of the Persistent rogue rather than AA hopping bit, and the inconvenience of the latter is offset by the convenient target practice

If a fraction of your alliance can't be arsed to check the game in time, or just doesn't give enough of a fuck to keep track of what day a browser game they only kinda care about anymore, its 4-5 people, and who cares. The same fraction in a 300 member alliance has us spending a month running after 40+ people. Given that it's the larger alliances who primarily deal with the problems this is supposed to fix... No solution should take more effort and inconvenience to implement than the problem it purports to fix.

The problem is not the effort of typing in one line, but the clusterfuck of organizing a few thousand typings of that line over a freaking month while dealing with the idiots who think they should take advantage of the chaos. It's not worth it for the minor benifit stopping the odd AA hopper or ghosts, the former who can be dealt with by 5 seconds in a query and the latter by a few cruise missles. This. The new system is superior, unfortunately the planned transition will create more work than the problems its ment to solve ever have. Says the guy in a thirty member alliance.

No. It'll create a massive amount of hassle, especially when dealing with large alliances; migrating 100-300 members and then cleaning up the cockwads whole will go "Herp derp they're on None! TECH RAAAAAID" will be all kinds of not fun, for no gain. We've been successful in keep undesirables off our AA's for 7 years now, and it probably took less effort over that whole time than organizing this kind of clusterfuck will. Either find a way to port the current AAs over and then manually set the leaders, or don't bother.

Been a bit so BUMP!

Was poking through the ntion sitting section, and a bit of idle curiosity hit me. The Rules for nation sitting state: You will never be allowed to aid, trade, or war with/along side of the nation you sit again. Any outstanding trades or foreign aid will be cancelled and marked as cheating as soon as the sitter logs on to the sat nation. Most of this is pretty simple, however it leaves open the possible (though unlikley) event of a nation declaring war on both players at the same time. Should that happen what would be the outcome?

[quote name='Fizzydog' date='19 June 2010 - 04:15 PM' timestamp='1276978504' post='2343109'] Yes, I believe it did for me. Though I exactly can't remember I think I actually got a small fraction of land. [/quote] What this fellow said. I've had a few "defeats" where I've still done the maximum (or near it anyways) damage. It's mildly funny when it happens.

Low level aircraft don't have bomb sights and the bombardier is permanently drunk it seems. Either don't bother with air attacks at your size unless you really need to or get 300 tech so you can buy planes that don't suck. With low level planes you need 20-30 of them to do semi-decent damage on a regular basis and that will get shot down by anyone with a fighter heavy air force. That and using them in a tech raid is all kinds of stupid.

That's with a 58K NS nation and a 185K NS nation sitting near deletion (23 days). Ooh, and Gre is only 1K NS greater than Argent now. [/quote] One fellow joined MHA, the other one is Bobdole and right now it seems they've ducked off the AA thinking we can't find em then or something. Edit: Actually that comes to around 175k NS, so looks like someone deleted as well.

So guess that dream of out growing Matt isn't going to happen then. You had me convinced you were going to do it one day with the way you kept going about it and all. Tis a pitty that.
