This may be up 4 the Suggestions tab, but I thought of speaking here... what if, instead of compensation, things are reverted to the state they were before the banneable event? This way, the damage done is completely reverted, and it cannot be exploited as the players are only gaining what they lost to an illegal tactic. And I mean that the units lost by the affected party are restored, and crystals given back (if lost), and conquers also given back. I understand a way to do this may be difficult, but this way ppl are discouraged at doing this particular offense, as theyd just be loosing tokens and achieving nothing.

Don't bother, Kevin. Admins don't care.

When I say action this means 2 things:
1. Immediate penalty for the alliance and players in question
2. Careful review of the game mechanics

The penalty has to be to the alliance so they are self policing on this in the future. I am biased in this example, but understand my point.

Changing the game mechanics is harder. I enjoy a normal 33 unit spam attack as it helps evaluate the team and bring everyone together on defense, but find the funded attack very destructive to the core values of the game. Please consider the solutions to this with thought.

omg your to good Andrew.

but about those farmers. how can you prove it? its really hard for a admin to see who friends they are? right

BD: did chance some things. you need to have your level 3 increases metal production to attack people. if they give each other tokens you should easy check who is who . you can check the history.

but if they dont give tokens you cant see who is who.

or iam not right on that?

Seems Daemon is threatening to sue BD for banning him.. I find this paticulaly amusing, please shed some light on this situation for poor ol' Rildor and his mates who think that they have a massive case. Thank-you.

So expressing an opinion that things could be better is being "pissy", when it's suggested that you don't care (as indicated by your reply to me), you tell him he is free to GTFO. That sounds like fantastic public relations.

Maybe this is tough to digest, but things aren't perfect, there are always areas to improve and suggesting such is not necessarily reserved for trolls and people who are angry all the time whose opinions don't matter. Deriding these remarks is akin to calling anyone against the Iraq war someone who simply "hates America" and should go back to whatever country they came from.

A bit more compassion would be nice, we did after all also have to wait almost a week for the last era to even end properly, though I guess mentioning that is more "America hatin'!"

Woo Hoo! BD is in full effect. All the issues coming up at once. Besides the Admin downs community, community downs admin stuff......

I'm curious about the banning. This happened last round several times. Players that were playing this round built colonies and attacked "weak spots" and were found to be nuisances. Should they have been banned?

Personally, every time I create my colony it is for the sole purpose to strike at an opponent's weakspot.

It just seems that the banning was not justified. Not condoning/admonishing the action. Just want to hear more from the community about how this is a bannable offense....I probably can start proposing some more if it is based on the rationale previously given.
