New Anticheat Measure Going Live Today

[Palem]

*skims through to find people with something of substance/questions aside from complaints

In fact those stupid enough to be honest and whitelisted their wife/husband ( my son in my case, gggrr, all those having teen at home know how it can be hard to SHARE something with them)) are surely punished ...cheaters, I'm not that sure.

Counter example:
Someone gives you 3 candy bars. Later that day, they realize they gave you too many, and take one away. Did you get punished? No, you have two candy bars that you didn't have yesterday.

you're wrong. To sean and brian eveyone is cheaters. there are no honest players. so it's a lose lose

You're wrong. Don't speak on behalf of the devs. They don't speak on your behalf.

Could the mods do everyone a favor?

Please, please stop acting like you're always right. This isn't an argument. People are simply stating that this makes it impossible to play with your sig other or roomate. This is a fact.

That is not a fact that is an opinion. It's very much possible to play as a couple. You don't want to take the extra effort to make that happen and that's your choice.

That said, I'm more than open to the possibility of being wrong, with the provision that the said parties actually provide good solid evidence and not biased, rage-induced opinions.

It seems that I am blocked from attacking anyone I hit previously, because technically "someone" from my IP (aka me) hit them in the past few hours. Thus, I cannot chain anyone, because I can't send more than one attack on a province....

Some people have reported early bugs with the system. Apologies for any inconvience that these bugs cause while they're working out the kinks.

The outcome of this doesn't really concern me as my KD doesn't have any couples or roomates, however there are no advantages a couple playing in the same KD would have, that non couple KDs do not. The arguement doesn't make sense.

If we were talking 10 years ago then yes, there would be major advantages. I have half the people in my KD's phone numbers, the other half I have their email addresses. Half of those people's email messages get delivered directly to their phones nowadays. When my KD gets waved, we send out txts and emails. When we attack, we send txts and emails to t/ms to cast pitfalls, ns, or bg. Communication is so easy these days, its basically like being in the same room with them. I have a KD mate who lives in Indonesia and I live in the US. If he wants to attack and needs a pitfalls cast, he sends me a txt, and halfway across the world I get that msg instantly. I see no advantage that legit couples, roomates, or families have over anyone who cares enough about the game to pick up a phone.

Not every kd has such connectivity with their kd-mates. The rules need to be universal. It would be wrong to assume that every kd should require that kind of connection with their players.

I think what needs to be said (maybe it will help coming from someone who is not all worked up over this) is that now couples, roomates, etc now have an unfair disadvantage, compared to everyone else.

It's impossible to say whether or not this is too disadvantageous for couples without fully knowing how long that other person will be blocked for. Right now I'm assuming the prov will be blocked off for a fair amount of time. If that's not the case and you're blocked for interacting for like 3 days or something like that, yes I'd be inclined to agree that it's too much and not fair.

Mods that have a sense of professionalism about their job an leave their egos at the door when posting in the public forums

I don't know if Bishop gets paid for his Support work (I think he doesn't but I could be wrong), but with that possible exception, none of us get paid. We do this because we love this game, i.e. it's not our jobs.

That said, we're giving a very angry group of people answers that they don't want to hear. Of course we're going to be made out to look like the bad guys here. I can personally say I've been nothing but kind and polite in my responses (or at least I'm trying. If I did say something rude in some round about way, I do apologize as that wasn't my intent) and yet I get nothing but hostility in return.

Yet despite all that, no one has been banned or even so much as received a single infraction in this thread. We get it, you guys are angry and (perhaps) rightly so. Is it really so much to ask that everyone calms down, gets all their facts straight, tries to work with the system for a few days and if it's really such an awful idea we stop and reevaluate it then and base it off collected, well-understood facts?




If I missed a legit thought/question please let me know. Also, tone down the flaming please and any further trolling will not be tolerated.
