Is it worth it to press the button to teach some ghetto a lesson (and get free rewards) on the off-chance you might be getting played?
    You can't really blame a competitive kingdom for wanting easy wars. If they start the age with a long and hard war with minimal gains while the competition gets two easy wars it's basically over for them already.
    Blame the game mechanics or blame the ghetto for farming out. Btw. why is it bad to push the button just to teach a lesson? How else should a ghetto learn what not to do unless they see consequences for stupid actions?

    Though possibly this is getting off topic since the issue here seems to be a multi with provs in both kingdoms. Or was it three kingdoms? I probably should reread the thread.

    So you got 24 hours of practically free hits on a kingdom before it was stopped? Yes I can see how that's a disadvantage for you.

    Did your science stop accumulating points? Nope. Did you lose the land that you hit for during the first 24 hours you said the war was still active? Nope. Your kingdom is still pumped and if you are in war builds already, then you are all set to go for another war soon if you wanted. Stepping back, you got 1k acres and lost a small portion of your ritual, doesn't seem that you lost anything that can't be replaced.

    What free hits? I know you don't get paid but you should still try to keep up with things, for appearances sake. We already have so much to say about you, after all..

    6:4 didn't get any period of 'free hits', as summaries posted in the previous thread show that 1:9 was certainly fighting back. Here, in fact, I will go fetch those for you, since your memory is lacking and we wouldn't want you to belie an image of incompetence, being DavidC's favorite mod and all.

    The rest of your post comes off as overtly (and overly) petty, considering your position as a mod.

    This is probably why the forum isn't the right place to debate specific issues with specific KDs. If I've understood the thread correctly (and maybe I haven't), both KDs fought as normal, but the smaller KD whose "rogue" monarch proposed the war didn't want the war and (felt they) weren't ready. I'm not sure which KD is which so I can't tell which one ended up on land gains and I don't know whether 1,700 acres is material at whatever size they are.

    It seems to me there are 2 issues.

    1. Whether the KD who accepted the war proposal has actually benefited or lost out, and how if at all that should be addressed.
    2. The wider principle of whether a KD who accepts a war proposal believing it to be legitimate but which is later found to not be legitimate is at fault for doing so.

    I have no real interest in getting involved in 1. It is between the Devs and the KDs involved.

    But on 2, I find the suggestion that they "should have known" that it was "too good to be true" a difficult one.

    Youre missing the whole point of this. Which is not the war proposal.

    The monarch of 1:9 asked diamonds (monarch of 6:4) if he'd kill off provs for him after war, and promised to give diamonds the war win.

    Now, this has been taken to mean it was a fake war because the end result was 'predetermined '.

    Diamonds kd is now crying that it's no fair they didn't get building credits...

    Yeah, I probably am. That's why I'm trying to stay out of an individual situation which I don't know the full details of.

    This is what I was referencing in my point 2 (quote from this thread):

    Quote Originally Posted by DavidC View Post
    With the introduction of War Proposals in their current form, what happened to your KD is an unfortunate result that is similar to the above outlined scenario. Your KD had no knowledge of what was going on inside the opponent KD, all you knew was you had a war declaration button and the chance to farm easy acres and honor with effectively zero risk.
    Should your KD have received deletions? suspensions? removal of acres? pushed directly out of war & full KD suspensions? These are all potential consequences of fake wars. We saw fit that your KD had done no wrong and should not be punished under historical standards yet we could not allow the war to continue. Your KD has lost out on some time, your plans have been changed however you did make that decision. You actively made the decision alter your existing course of action to reap the potential free rewards of the farm war that had been presented to you. As others have mentioned, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Had you NOT declared on this KD, another KD likely would have and that other KD would be in this position and not you.
    If the point that comes from that is just "don't pre-determine the war outcome" then I have no issues. But I thought DavidC's post was saying that they have done nothing beyond accepting a war proposal from a KD that wasn't worthy of the fight, but that in only doing that the accepting KD was culpable.

    w00f, first ya tell 6:4 to stop crying, then ya tell SASSY she is a bad mod. She said free hits... 125 uniqs to 85 uniqs is a fair amount of "free hits" 40 .. Maybe the correct wording is "exra hits" Also if they kept the 1700 acres they did pretty swell.
    Plus whats the time frame as its not listed? I speculate 3 days as one guys has 8 uniqs. Poor piddlin Pills cant post without condescending remarks. To both sides.
    FlipFlop

    Pills:The monarch of 1:9 asked diamonds (monarch of 6:4) if he'd kill off provs for him after war, and promised to give diamonds the war win. What choice did he have 1700 acres?
    if its in the game... I like Bishop. I don't care what my Mommy says about him.

    Pretty sure it's been stated that war only lasted 24 hours. You want to nit pick the tone of my posts, but I'm dealing with the likes of you who can't even read a ****ing formatted summary??

    Are you sure you want to post in these forums? Formatting of paper summaries has been consistent for over a decade and you can't read it properly? No uniques are listed in the posted summary.

    Also Roflmao @ 'extra' or 'free' hits because one side out hit the other. That's not how wars work.

    Learn to play, or think more before you post.

    Nobody got free acres, it was a war waged from both sides with equal effort according to their capabilities.

    No, it means to be smart and evaluate the situation. When stupid ghettos give buttons, you don't just press it (unless you're looking for an EZ-PZ farm war). You should instantly be suspicious and think about what you could potentially be getting into. Is it worth it to press the button to teach some ghetto a lesson (and get free rewards) on the off-chance you might be getting played?

    No need to answer that question, btw, as I'm sure your current situation has already taught you the answer. In short, THINK before you ACT.
    We fought in range. Heck a few ages ago we crowned warring up. If a dumb ghetto waves you oop u push button. If you have an off age and get button mid age you press button. Csnt just war the same two kds over and over just cuz ppl suck.

    You claimed one province had 8 uniques.

    Uniques are not listed.

    To be honest, the most glaring thing I get from the majority of this thread is the lack of mutual respect among the playerbase. Online gaming grants a level of anonymity, and I feel while some enjoy it, others abuse it to act and regard each other in ways we wouldn't fathom face to face.
    As kids playing in minor sports leagues, you learn to respect your opponent, it starts with shaking hands after a match, and saying "good game"; sticks with you for life. Granted, in the heat of a match, tempers can flare, but no one brings it off the field or ice afterwards.

    Maybe we should all take a page from that; this incessant flinging of insults and saying, "this stupid ghetto" or "that stupid player" doesn't really produce anything besides negative vibes and basically disregards anything the poster said on the subject before or after they started insulting.

    This might be a factor is regards to the cheating and bad play too.

    Also, can everyone stop referencing the war summary that Pillz posted? He screwed up and posted the 1:9 war with 6:2, not the 24-hour one with 6:4.
