Palem, to be fair, without fed military and no actioning it would have been a 100% win vs pyro. The difference between running 8k mindef with actual thieves and 4k as median def without thieves is too massive oop.
Here's the issue, Palem -- How does anyone know if a mechanic exists to deter you from doing something, or if it exists because doing the thing it is supposed to deter you from doing is actionable? As opposed to a mechanic being put in place to prevent you from being able to abuse a different mechanic. Like, that seems like a silly reason to put a mechanic in place, if it's purely for deterrent purposes. Seems you'd be better off just saying 'this thing is actionable' the way they did with FWs instead of trying to put in place a deterrent and then deciding that the built in deterrent wasn't enough.
Why was it ok to 'pay to win' wars last age, but not ok for us to reset provs this age? What if we now did exactly what they did last age, that Bishop said was ok -- would we be actioned for it? releasing, aiding out all the resources on our chained provs and resetting.
(and yes CJ, they aided out gc too. Less gc than it takes to train the sols they aided out).
I also want to know why, if the answer to "is this ok" is "ask bishop", why bishop doesn't respond to whether any of the things I mentioned were game abuse or not. Does that mean I should assume they are? Or does it mean that I should assume they aren't? Because some of them are things that we might do, and so we'd like to know.
