My set was over as soon as I hit the first bot and realised I hadn't joined GDI yet. That is the nature of Express and even as a new player it's pretty obvious Express needs some major tweaks.
I land grabbed #2 whilst #1 for 1200+ land (AngularJS) and received promises that he was going to suicide me and spend the rest of his set ruining mine. He converted from theo casher to dict spies and then I continued to LG him to defend myself. Despite dominating every at the #1 spot all set, I still don't actually know WTF im doing. I could have not attacked him a second time and would have been protected by his GDI.
Despite being #1 all set by at least 40% nw difference and only LGing each player only once, logging off with more than enough turrets, troops & spies, I was multi gang banged (starting with missiles) by 3 people I had never even looked at the entire set, since these useless plebs had nothing on my empire, they of course had to resort to missiles and there were no successful LGs BR GS AB spy ops etc. Those people were not purpled despite their obvious coordinated efforts to ruin my set.
However, I already knew my set was over the moment I realised I forgot to click GDI. After retalling some fluff half my nw that used 10 turns to steal my tech as a "retal", I chose the target most likely to attract attention. Since most of you spastics think Izmla is actually me, I just attacked whoever Izmla was attacking to get you fluffs mad, which is well within my rights - however, I was still purpled. Warster may think "his first GS attempt was successful without a spy op", however its not hard to guess that someone has fluff all troops if theyve just been GSd 50 times already.
My set was over already and I received a purple. But so what? I lost absolutely 0 and will return again next set with GDI. In fact, I could have just created a new country and continued the attack? I agree with ebert, there needs to be something to prevent this garbage from happening. There is nothing to stop me being a piece of fluff and there's no reason for others to stop either.
That's is why I've suggested a leadberboard that focuses on points accumulated over the previous 10 sets to discourage people from not giving a fluff. I've also suggested a GDI warning when people first attack so they don't accidentally forget to join GDI.
