My empire is up for sale.

I have CEOs on KB and WG if interested send me a message.

Other than that I am done.

Enjoyed my Fedmates most of all.

Enjoyed the game.

Enjoyed kicking the unholy hell out of so many of you.

Thanks for being good victims opponents.

Wow...I am so confused as to what is going on exactly...So you are NOT allowed to attack whomever you want...for whatever reason you want??? So who do I email...to get permission to attack someone? Is Tom the one answering those requests? Or LG...did they put you in charge of approving wars?

Will they post of list of countries you are allowed to attack now?

OH CRAP!!! I accidentally bid on a noobs corporation....damn...I'll be banned for sure now. I mean that hostile bidding will stop noobs from playing for sure...its going to RUIN this game.

I'm sorry...I screwed up again...I ignored a NOOBs request to join his federation...my guess is he will probably quit now. I guess I should be banned.

I agree with Daconia.What exactly is and isnt allowed?

Can we have some clarification?

Are wars banned?

Is this just an exercise to remove certain players? If so,why when they apparently play within the rules?

I have to agree. For 1's and 0's you sure are making quite a spectacle.


The first draft of your post answers your question, Sam. Your conduct.


Klarina,
Time is limited. The questions many. I answer the ones that are needed the most and most useful. I won't bother answering how to make tomato soup.


Slocketer,
So, you people understand what I write, but at the same time it is "obscure and nonspecific in nature"? I see. No, you don't. "LDI and its cohorts" keep seeing this from the same distorted, self-centered glass. I'm glad there are those that sense there's something more than this tough, but those are few and silent.


This is what a player messaged me before this:
"Honestly what need do these players have with the forums? I think they should be banned, and when their 'friends' start posting the 'I'll quit for this' crap; the gm could just ignore them. Perhaps the forums would liven up a little and some new players would start posting."
We are listening. What's curious is that he knew what was going to follow. Half of the game sees this with very different eyes.


Jason,
"don't get a slave bitch!", "you fucker!". Yes, unbelievably, those are bannable offenses.


Wildeyes,
As I was constructing your case I read this "if there is some great ban stick coming down from above it should just happen already. Sort of a "put up or shut up" thing." It is somewhat difficult to lift things that were asked for.

You can war as long as you aren't abusive.

You can war as long as you don't "change the main pages of slaves just to make fun of [people], to insult [them]."

You can war as long as for the past six months I don't only see "posts with some negative comment refering to killing them or wiping them from the game."

You can war as long as you make the "game not fun and leave the player feeling there's no point in spending money and building an empire".

As long you don't "troll, threat and spam".

As long as you don't conquer countries with the intention to sell them afterwards. Extortion pisses me off the most.

Oh, and, of course, as long as you play within the rules. As long as you have only one account.


These offenses aren't just for Sam, Jason and Wild. Some aren't even for them. That's why I was going to conquer pretty much everyone successively. Seems like I can't do that now.

But Lagina, with all due respect, the point is that even those questions that you do address are answered in a vague, misinformative manner.

You then typically follow it with some spiel about how we all should've known the answer anyway, and then proceed to patronise whomever posed the question in the first place.

It is something of a common theme in most of your "helpful" replies.

IM FEELING GASSY

I was guilty of most offenses, thx for giving me a few chances, maybe this courtesy will be extended to others that have played longer than I have.

I can't stand to see anyone have to go, the easy or hard way.

Thats cause he's an arrogant person Klarina, he has been from the start. It was bearable when he had a sense of humor to go along with it but whatever happened sucks cause the snobbiness has gotten out of hand.

I dont get why a selloff is the answer. If indeed it is the case, why not fight it out. I mean LDI of all people, comon, it would only be fitting to go out with a bang. If indeed you guys are going out. I thought this was going to be fun. I am actually getting annoyed by this. You guys want me to fight on your side?

Just say the word, if it means you'll stay :)

And seriously, all the character bashing needs quit. Jason, you've been a good sport, fought and lost and won. We all feel betrayed at one point or another. Nobody is perfect. Tighen up young man.

but this when we can war and when we can't is confusing me. We can war anytime we want but if Laguna doesnt justify it he'll take away your empire? We can war anytime we want but if its against laguna the gamemaster won't justify it and it'll be stopped?

I don't call simply deleting my countries spectacle. I call it simply deleting countries - I don't know what could be further from spectacle.

Unless you refer to my scorched earth sentiment, but that's appropriate since I built them and I won't have the GMs more or less give them away.

And finally, my level of spectacle here on the forums is only directly proportional to the absurdity being demonstrated in the past few days.

With that, I don't expect to be back, so fanfare and spectacle can die here as well.

Since when did the Game Masters ever do their job?
Laguna has to "persuade" them in a way to for them to fight for him since he can't fight on his own.

Wendy the reason we won't fight is because it's obvious that it would be a completely unfair, biased fight. LDI can beat other people in game, but we can't beat the people who control the game. As for me I have Republic of MD, Republic of VA, and Republic of PA for sale now. Contact me if interested!

Hell of a long thread...so this is July hun! No bang bang fizz fizz...and a lot of pissed off vets leaving the game and destroying / selling there assets...seems very bad for business...and I have seen a lot of that this year.

My 2 cents on the matter is that this is indeed a game with rules posted and while playing nice should be the Modus operandi...that is just not the way Real Life or the game is set up at all. But that doesn't even apply here...as you are all vets. I think it's grossly unfair that this war was stopped to its full extent...apparently this is the fun part of the game for you vets and the paying customers should be allowed there fun...No GM intervention and No Bans!!! After all, no noobs were involved in the war and only consenting Vets proposing an all out orgy of War...the perfect storm.

I thoroughly agree with Daconia and Blue Serpent!

"And seriously, all the character bashing needs quit. Jason, you've been a good sport, fought and lost and won."

In fact, no it does not. Laguna started the asshatishness, so unless he unexpectedly stops being an arrogant ass, we will return the favor and the game will die a quick painless death.

As for people leaving, I shall follow Wild's examples. NY, Delaware, and IRP shall be deleted without any sale.

Sucks that I came back to the game just for this to happen. I always thought it had some potential. Oh well...the game is dead.

I completely agree with ya jeffyboy.

Funny how 5+ players just quit in one day....good work LG and LG's GM cohorts.
