We changed spy DR to work over the past 24 hours. Previously, spy DR reset at midnight.

We also changed the way groups of normal ops work. The normal ops are spy, spy on alliances, spy on market, and military spy. If a country attempts to perform multiple normal ops at once, spy operations halt after the first success. For example, suppose a country attempts to do to a market spy five times. It fails the first two ops but succeeds on the third. Under the new changes, no further spy ops out of the requested five will be attempted.

EDIT: These changes are in effect immediately for all servers.

TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY!!!!

I can't even begin to count how many times I've blown 10 turns accidentally spying instead of SR'ing, CD'ing, or just accidentally hitting the 0 on the num pad after I type in 1 for a spy op!

Awesome change!

It's really nice to have devs and admins who take the time to implement features which are requested in the forums. Good stuff.

it would only cost him 1 turn (assuming he gets through on the 1st op) instead of the entire 10.

Do all spy ops cause spy DR or is it just the damaging ones?

the reset of spy DR from midnight is no minor change

it routinely costs me million$ at expre$$ and it cost me half a billion $ today on primary

please please please change it back

i am probably the only player on the site who cares about this arcane rule
if you change it back

i will break my wiki boycott and correct some of the numerous factual errors on the wiki

thanks for your consideration

The issue with resetting spy DR at midnight is that it made it too easy to destroy countries at war.

Not until we fix the problem of players playing as teams on solo servers.

Because I don't expect us to ever solve the problem of players playing as teams on solo servers.

I would like for you to point out where I lied, and if you pull out some of your LaEx bullfluff I'm going to ban you.

And there is a language filter so I can say whatever I want whenever I want.

On the otherwise of the coin, I don't see how you have ever helped the game. Other than running around and fluffig about spies, you have truly done nothing at all.

You didn't catch LaE, you didn't catch "LaEx" you just sit there behind your thesarus vocabulary and act like you matter.

If you wish to come after me you need to come a little stronger kid.

Give us the ability to sabotage goods on the market, will ya, already?

That would be a nice thing to have with all the folks using stockpiling schemes involving the market.

I really dislike this 24 hour change as it stands now... if DR does not reset at midnight then there should be some way to tell how long he is in spy DR for. Perhaps another addition to a regular spyop.

This is a nice change for people who don't do a lot of spying, I suspect. It doesn't really affect my country/countrys in FFA, I usually succeed on the first try with regular spy ops.

Perhaps the "available spy ops remaining" should also follow this logic, rather than resetting at midnight as well.
