    Thumbs down Early age chart shaping

    As most of you know, chart shaping mostly takes place when the end of an Age is in sight. Kingdoms that have nothing left to play for, hand over their acres to a befriended kingdom that has at least a shot at winning something. In some cases, minor chart shaping takes place mid-age, when warring tier kingdoms tend to outgrow the easy targets and offer landdrops to kingdoms that play for the Land crown.

    It's rarely ever that a kingdom just farms out so early in the Age, like "Current kingdom is hmmmm (X:XX)" did to "Happy b day zara (Y:YY)", better known as Cromulent Republic (Y:YY). The firstmentioned kingdom won their first war of the age which ofcourse is quite the accomplishment. To celebrate this, they decided to opt for LAND BONUS and throw a farming party to which only "Happy b day zara (Y:YY)" was invited.

    As most Utopians are always ready to party, I must ask why "Current kingdom is hmmmm (X:XX)", led by XRONOSSCHOTY of province Melchior, did not invite others to this very entertaining party.

    Perhaps the two kingdoms are dating and decided it was time for an intimate rendez-vous, in which case CR wasn't the one getting ****ed. Could it be that friends-of-old decided it was time to grow their crops elsewhere and let their previous kingdom do the reaping; perhaps yet another black-op mindspin (coined) from the side of Cromulent Republic. The latter makes one wonder ... is that is truly in the spirit of the game?

    Seems like a lot of speculation. Have any proof that they whored just to feed? Was it part of a CF agreement? I'm all for pot stirring but this seems shakey at best.

    I did expect them to be oow later, but I may have not been paying attention. It seems more likely CR was just on the ball and noticed them oow first and waved? Maybe "hmmm" accidentally took land bonus?

    Have to agree with BoH on this, no matter how much I would like to see CR get punished again :) Thread gets A for effort but an F for content.

    This alone don't prove here is deal from both kds for farm out. Im sure CR are in good position to vulture KDs coming oow and take land.

    hitting for acres clearly violates the intended use of provinces. better get those acres returned and provinces reset before bishop does it for you.

    I'm sure you can find 23 people to spend 2 weeks getting prepared and winning a war for the sole purpose to feed to their friends. I wouldn't do it for $200.

    March 21 of YR1 We have ordered an early end to the post-war period with FamousLastWords (x:xx).
    Slightly odd, but it doesn't mean anything really.

    To all those that said that this isnt a land drop, please kindly revisit the facts. This is an obvious land drop. Kingdom in question ended eowcf, sent out their troops to do learns across the server, and then CR did anon hits after.

    In my opinion, there's no problem with land dropping warring kingdoms who took honour bonus and have a few over-sized provinces after winning a war. It happens frequently, and usually the more active whoring kingdoms (or whoever that is free) would get those acres.

    However, it seems fishy to some when a kingdom intentionally takes land bonus and have several big provinces, and then land drops straight after that.
