Sending aid is a clear mechanic abuse. Devs should be actioning EVERY player who sends aid. End of story.
No, thats what you seem to think its about. Abusing mechancis isn't something we support and the rules clearly call that out.Quote:

However, Pyro stole hundreds of millions of gc from pew2 last age before our conflict and still had to cry to us about internal conflict so that we'd stop wrecking their face. Who knows what level of ineptitude they'll show here.
Bishop, if you were planning on actioning people who "abused this tactic," why did you fix it in the code?
Report everyone who abuses game mechanics? Ok. last 2 crowns before us were fake wars meant to abuse the imbalaned WW land gains bonus. Please go back and properly give the crown to AMA and whoever the other kd was.
Considering you're the only person that knows what "spirit of the rules" means, who knows what else there is to report.
I thought it would make the abuse not worth it. I was wrong and people still abused so I actioned them. Removing abuse via game mechanics is preferable to account actions generally.Quote:

Bishop are you kidding me? Had you told us what the change was, do you think anyone would have done it? This is entrapment, plain and simple. Do you think losing 2 provs for 5 days is worth those resources? You are chart shaping. Pyro got caught with a crappy strategy and are being rewarded DOUBLE for it.
What's frustrating Bishop is that this is a game that outside of activity is 100% mechanic dependent. If you think 1 mechanic is broken you balance it. In this instance, you or S&B already balanced it sometime last age. People tested if aid resets the reset timer and it didn't last age. The ONLY reason you would change this mechanic is to balance this exact thing. So why balance a mechanic that you implemented and then action in an absurdly severe way when people use the now balanced mechanic?
It went from a 100% war win (even with the reset balance change) to 50-50. So, yes. War don't go so well.Quote:

This sort of behaviour from kingdoms that should know better is stupid, it is wasteful and it needs to stop. Either clean up your act or disband.
So you are now saying that you actively and intentionally balanced oop resetting so that it wouldn't be worth doing, didn't tell anyone that you did this, and then when people do it(in a way that you now view as balanced and intentionally made to be ok) you action by deleting almost 4 times the resources?
I'm saying that you should cop on.Quote:
