To W3C- game update (Fearless Blue)

"The fact that you lot are happy with a bugged game says alot about you"

I don't like game bugs anymore than anyone else, or exploits.

I however have a multi-mega bite file of emails to W3C discussing bugs/exploits with thier replies on how they where fixed, or explainations on why they where not bugs in the first place.

I don't discuss things I want fixed in the forum, I go straight to W3C and get something done about the situation.

Setting aside the fact when he signed up for this game his agreement, plainly stated it was play at your own risk, I do NOT believe someone in his situation has any right to expect compensation for his loss.

He either learned something from this or he didn't, he will either continue to play, and steer clear of those that got him slaughtered in the first place or he won't.

And Vali this game is almost entirely composed of new players from my standpoint. I cannot think of more than one that "might" (it's got to be close) have more continous years in this game than I do.

A minor few have been around long enough that it seems they've been here forever, quite a bit have played, left and come back, but I cannot even recall all the people who started then quit because something didn't go thier way.

Do I care someone made a bad choice and when things went wrong that they quit?

No ... not really.

Come on, Yankee, there are all kinds of reasons why you wouldn't want to have the configuration of units you want to have at the start of the war sitting there all set up for days on end. Val has it right, people have different strategies, and the obvious solution is to have a game that works. Tricks and exploits are part of the charm of the game. Bugs, when unexpected, are not.

I had the same problem as our newer member, and excuse my rant, but it still pisses me off. You do a lot of preparation, many hours, in anticipation of "game day," and when on game day you can't play right it cuts at the whole value of the game.

Personally I tried much of what has been suggested, to no avail. A lot of things didn't work besides not being able to set up units. In general, many clickable things that open windows didn't function right. For example, clicking on a unit name from the target list did not tell what kind of unit it is. Something particular about my rig, I don't know. Everything seems to work fine now.

Danny should be compensated with game assets. For me it's the loss of time "invested" in the game that stings. And Ares, you should be mad too--you prepared for a fight, and didn't get one. Better luck next time bud.

Danny shouldn't be conpensated period. He decced and then lost the country, his bad not SC. Maybe he should be playing another game like Bingo or something.

Cough Cough, No further comment

Vali was whining about not being able to set up garrisons in the forums .. GARRISONS!!! ... some strategy. I have to wonder what this "Danny's" strategy was, I wouldn't be surprised if he signed the war treaty.

So what if someone sees how your targets are defended? That's why you keep a variety of weapons, countries and if necessary allies available to spoil specialized attacks.

Everyone has different strategies in this game and guess what, obviously this one didn't work. You'd be better off thinking about where it went wrong and how you'd deal with it next time.

FB is war world and to think anyone should be compensated for losing a war is silly.

The shallow end of the pool is over there (points to the secured country worlds)

You're just ignoring the point.

This aint about him losing. He declared in full knowledge that he was fighting a more experienced player with more resources. He knew he was going to lose. He just wanted to play the game.
The game did not work. He could not play the game he payed for. This is the only point.
All you guys seem to want to do is gloat about how much you lot are better at the game than a noob.
Well done boys, you beat a noob! Your egos must be feeling good about themselves.

lol vali.

how did the game work for us and not you? stop crying.

Game works just fine for me Ares. As you well know ;-)
You are just blinded to the issue as you decided to dec on us (very mean!).
If you forget the war, and look at the issue itself. You would see a poor customer paying for a product that he lost part of because it didnt work.
Now if you go out and buy a car tomorrow I expect you would want the breaks to work. A bit late once you reach the traffic lights and discover you breaks dont work. But hey, luck was on your side!! Only the passenger side was taken out. You are still alive!! Dont bother going back to the car dealing and asking for a refund. Tough luck your breaks didnt work. My breaks work just fine as I checked them last week, so dont ask me to help. Go buy a new car, and if that want doesnt work, dont both telling the manufacturer. They dont care. As long as new drivers keep buying their faulty cars they dont care how many people die in their cars.

i'm not blinded by anything. You seem to be confused Vali. Whatever didn't work for Danny did not work for bobo. Whatever didn't work for Jojo didn't work for me either. It may not have worked, but it was an even playing field none the less. The problem was fixed, nothing else should be done. The exact circumstance you are speaking of was initiated by Danny, not by Bobo.

BTW Vali:

Thanks for letting me take out your whole fed's air defense from your c3

Comparing faulty brakes on a car to a bug in an online game?

Some perspective would aid your argument, Vali.

As has been pointed out, there is a disclaimer in place to cover such eventualities and more pertinently, it was same for all players concerned.

What a heartless selfish bunch you are. I for one will no longer play this game with the likes of you. After the war I am out of here.

If you people didn't war, these things wouldn't happen.
Brain damage much?

Simcountry is a business. And the business is to keep players playing, so they pay their membership. Thus, results matter over Joe and Jove and detailed weather information.

There's a problem with the game, there's a problem with you people. What do you people do? Push it on others to solve and keep on playing like it was none of your business.

Selfish = hiding in war protection while your federation's noobs get killed.

Vali,

There have been glitches throughout the war on both sides. As a result, we have both incurred losses. The fact of war is that peeps will lose something. Danny should not have taken on more than he could chew. He was a noob going against an experienced player. Perhaps if he had spent less time spamming Bobo's ingame mail and paying more attention to his "war prep" he could have fired that much desired 1 shot on his part. (Not intended to sound mean).

I don't think anyone is trying to come across as heartless. They are just saying that it is as it is and are by no means downing your mate's loss. All games, from time to time, will have glitches. :-(

The war is not the problem. The problem is sim making careless changes that cost people real money. War brings the problems to a crunch. In peace time it is just a matter of waitimg for them to fix the problem. In war you may not get that chance.
In this case, Dans enjoyment of the game has been destroyed because he could not set up units so he could not play. A small token of gold coins from sim to acknowledge the problem has caused upset to players would not do the game any harm. Or even extend his membership a bit. Just a little token that sim messed up.

The chat was having issues for me. So I just connected with a jabber client (Pidgin) all you need to do is connect to simcountry.com and use your login details.

It is possible to get to any room you want if you know how ;)
