    thank you. Also add to that that you can auto-CF BOTH WAYS and this stupid mechanic might actually kinda work. Navigating in this meta is a nightmare.

    Is it? Why? The whole point of auto CF was to allow a KD with 100 disparity to auto CF. If you make them wait an hour (or 10 minutes or even 1 minute) then you potentially expose them to hits taking the meter to 199 (ie start at 99, then do 25*4 hits). If you want to allow that many hits then just change the disparity to 199.. why add a timer?

    The auto-CF is a terrible idea in the first place and has only led to weeklong one way hostiles. This timing thing would atleast give SOME perks back to the initiating kd

    There are so many potential fixes to this system, and guaranteed none of them happen.

    Also how long do you "block" out the db entries because of button presses. It literally takes a second between me clicking a button, switching tabs, clicking a button.

    If that is too fast for you, please get out of operating a real time game system.

    Note: The reasoning is bs. Oops hasn't happened all age. Not on mass op runs. Not OOP. Never. I watched us get full on waved and opped in our OOP war by our opponent in a matter of 30 seconds. So don't go spewing "It's server side protection" bs. It either happens every time because that's how you have it coded (which means whoever implemented it, and still maintains without fixing it sucks at their job), or it's not coded that way and you are giving some bs reason as to why your server and system sucks.

    Also as a note: WE LITERALLY HAD PEOPLE SPAM TARGETTING THE SAME TARGET AKA OUR RITUAL AND NO ONE OOPSED.

    Like if you're going to be dishonest at least make it believable.

    yeah, People setting alarms and showing up at 4 AM to do pro stuff and end up getting "oooopsed" and unable to get a single attack off because of something outside their controll is VERY demotivating (extra so for Memster who organized and planned this wave)

    Sheister yes. Mechanics are stupid. The game is screwed up.

    Then we got a game admin tying to lie to us about how database stuff works. Like come on, we are all playing a text based game that's 20+ years old. Many of us are te Xh nerds and work in tech fields. You aren't pooling the wool over our eyes saying "There are DB limitations". GTFO here with that. There are real time systems capable of 250 scans per second and pumping databases with data. And "we have to stall database records so we don't lose them". Gg

    We didn't build the system, we inherited it and we've put forth our best effort to utilize the system that in place to work as best as it can without a major overhaul of the entire system to work more efficiently. Please don't tell me that I'm lying about how the game works.

    I know it can be difficult but please try to stay on topic guys. It's for the good of the community.

    Is there any material possibility of BB overtaking Emeriti or can I keep sleeping soundly?

    To fix this mechanic I propose we introduce another mechanic.
    I call it

    Shockwave Dragon


    Upon arrival, immediately stuns the enemy kingdom for 1 day (1 hour), preventing all provinces from using stealth/mana and prevents the Monarch from performing any duties (declare/surrender/cf/etc).
    10% lower income. The loss of 20% of new draftees
    Limit to one per utopian month (24 hours).


    Think of the possibilities!

    Maybe once per target kingdom per week, per day could make wars even more cumbersome.

    Whatever.

    I am just so utterly sick of how bull**** strong RKDNW protection is for little ****ty kingdoms randoming into larger ones. The land gains combined with that seem to make it stupidly disproportionate gains and then we all have to read the little kingdoms whining about being bullied.

    It is just, frankly, crap.

    Make RKDNW slide in with the meter.

Every time a write is made to a DB table that table is locked for a period of time (tiny amounts of time) however if you try to call that DB table while it is locked you will get OOPS. Unless you'd prefer to go back to the Mehul days where lots of people can write at the same time and actions aren't recorded correctly, this is the system that is in place. In order to keep accurate record of the transactions in the order they occur this is necessary.

    Attacks can occur very quickly, there are ways around this but suggesting everyone attack at the exact same time and loading 4x tabs for every hit to make sure it goes through made things far worse[if I'm understanding what you said correctly]. By doing that you likely made it far worse.
    I read people saying that a database can handle multiple requests at the same time. Having learned more about this, this last semester, there are simple ways to code requests so oops doesnt happen, kinda similar to a queue. That would take some work tho, to clean up and sort out old code which can be a *****, especially in python (plus php, javascript, sql, etc).

    I think a timer is a terrible idea and defeats the purpose of auto-cf.
