    When does someone's efforts become null and void? It's not like I stopped playing 10 years ago. I built just as many kingdoms as Bart did and I certainly taught (or helped teach at least) more players than Bart ever did. Oh and I never taught people that cheating was ok.
    It basically was, yes. Bart's been a more valuable member of the community than you have over the last several years.

    And by your own admission, he was a better mentor.

    I'm not so sure. Palem had several recruits that moved to top kingdoms. Palem is modest.

    That was in response to Pills attack of Palm AGAIN

    Palm is an extremely adequate mod. His asstute adequatnessence permeates his every post. Palms adequacy adequately mods with caring adequateness.

    Stratocastor my fiend says says Palm is a modest mod which would mean more moderation in most moderating from Palm.

    I like the pretty colors of the new mods names. If they post together it will remind many users of Christmas. Allanon will soon has 1K posts.

    In conclusion I believe most users [makes me think fondly of Tron] are over reacting to a nicer forum. Troll a byte as its good for you. So far I have seen "content removed" not bans.
    ps : as Opapa says Have Fun and Prosper.

    Bart and Palem both showed the virtue of being able to put up with me (most of the time). If you ask me that's an enormous contribution, just ask one of my haters if you don't believe me.
    Now Bart is banned so that's kind of sad.

    I've reported this post as it contains personal attacks against myself.

    Additionally, yes, exposing players to cheating is a good thing.
    Cheating did more good for this game than anyone cares to admit. It's an MMO that is almost strictly team based. # of provinces & kingdoms thus factor into the games health.

    Xlogged provinces tend to fulfill valuable roles as they're active provinces interacting both ways with others, compared to the hundreds of empty multies we now have on 400 acres.

    So more active 'participants' in the game, the healthier game play across the server is.

    Next, many people quit in the wake of the xlogging and proxy rule change under Jolt. Some have returned on-and-off since, most haven't and won't. They left because xlogging offered them the ability to play with friends who held varying levels of interest and activity in the game, without being a burden. For many, playing with 1 log in or two a day in a ghetto was just not a substitute for proper social play in a good* kingdom.

    Next, there is the fact that all current owners and admins have cheated extensively in the past... That no doubt contributed to their enjoyment of the game and look where it led them? Why deprive their customers of that opportunity?

    Your views of the game, community, and it's dynamics are either severely lacking or you're playing some weird game of ideologically blissful ignorance if you don't think cheating has had a net positive effect on the game.

    @Pills, You state Palm is a less valuable member of the community than Bart, a known cheater, for several years.

    If the developers allow it I am willing to play up to 10 provinces for my current KD. We could easily cherry pick the committed players who want to participate in team efforts and fill up to 25 then. I believe we could go for land crown even.

    His post being worse than yours does not make your own post OK. A relative metric is absolutely redundant in this case.

    Saying he's less valuable to the community isn't a personal attack, it's an evaluation of his material contribution to the community, and has nothing to do with him personally.

    First off, report actioned. Try not to faint in shock.

    Secondly, a lot of what was viewed by the owners at the time as cheating has now been integrated into the game as features in recognition of the positive effect it had on the game. In place of account trading we now have the invite system. In the place of x-logging we now have the sitting system.

    These elements of the game were viewed as cheating at the time, however, and their introduction as formal parts of the game does not change that status.

    Yes, some players still cheat, and yes the game owners have cheated in the past when they were players of the game not the owners and operators. But now it falls on them to provide a stable, even and fairly regulated environment for the game to proceed on, and as a part of that they have to introduce and enforce the rules of the game, and action violations of those rules just as the owners of the game at the time they were players would have actioned them had they been caught cheating.

    You should serve as an example, not rile people up like a forum troll.

    Sitting is not equivalent to xlogging in any meaningful way.

    And they should provide exactly that sort of environment, by introducing adequate features that ease game play commitments (actual xlogging).

    And by not suffocating the community at every opportunity. But i digress.

    No your post IS a personal attack, obfuscation. You Quote him by NAME.

    The diff is Palm did not report you. I get it now. TQ Mati for showing me logic.
    So actionable offenses are more like a mad scrum for a fumble in football. I can live with that.

    TWEET, personal foul sl0hnd, 15 yards and loss of 1 point.

    Freakin hades froze. I too like prov sitting.

    PPL xloggin and playing multi accounts is OK by me, err I mean bad, BAD

    I believe what Pillz was getting at was that creating 400 acre provinces and never playing them hurts more than actual played multies.

    In my mind multies that eventually get deleted hurts the most, creating 400 acre provinces is a close 2nd while I believe legal multies would actually help KDs trying to get somewhere. That said I've actually created close to 10 provinces at once in an attempt to land in a decent kingdom, well that was just stupid - could have used the forum.
