If a taxi drives in reverse, do they owe you money? 🤔

You're right. Thanks. Never noticed that but it is slowly going up each turn.

I was researching over 5k per turn with around 15k labs and then I was suicided with missiles and SRs by someone who then deleted their account. I rebuilt my labs to about 12500 but the tech per turn never went back up. I'm now researching 866 per turn. Is this because I have very low population now? I'm down to about 11k but I never thought pop influenced tech per turn. This is in express.

Thanks everyone for posting. I agree 100% with what blid said. I believe I did say he messaged me and asked if I was going to attack him but like I said, we didn't plan a kill run. We both used different attacks at different times. You can check the news and see. If it was coordinated they would all be the same type and at the same time. That's pretty easy to tell even though it could happen just by coincidence, however, this did not happen with us.

Let me give an example of how this rule doesn't work....
Next round if I GS everyone in the game on the same day, and 1/2 of them GS me back, all within hours or days of each other, then 1/2 of the game will get banned, am I right? I'm doing nothing wrong because I'm solo, however, you can not tell if they were acting together or not if they all hit back according to the way the rule is set up and if you treat them with the same consequences you did bobby and I then they would all HAVE to be banned also.

I believe one solution could be to see when the attacks were done... if we were attacking in sequence or concurrently and using the same type of hit.

Another solution that I believe would work is to check if they were retaliations. If I was participating in a KR for no reason, then I would understand, but if I am retaliating, and someone else is retaliating also, we should both be eligible to retaliate however we want.

The rule needs to be specific and have ways to differentiate between organized hits and coincidence attacks, before actually banning a player. One days worth of turns lost can make a big difference in the outcome of the round even if the ban is lifted.

Sorry bobbyata. I wish we would have coordinated if we were going to get banned for it anyways. At least then all 3 of us would be finished instead of just us 2 victims while the attacker is sitting in a top spot. Good luck to you in future games.

and by the way. The other country attacking this same guy, is not an ally. He just saw the same guy was picking on both of us and mailed me and said we should both attack. I was already planning on hitting and so was he so technically we didn't team up to do it. It would have happened whether we talked to each other or not. He did what he could which was BR's, I did what I could which was ABs and spy ops. When the enemy got more tanks, I Gs'd instead. When the enemy got more turrets, the other player attacking started to GS also. This put us both GSing in the same day which I guess is what I was banned for. We did not plan for that to happen. We both wanted this country stopped and both did what we could with our own armies and just happened to do the same thing the same day because the enemy had no troops to defend that type of attack. This is the reason that this rule is unacceptable in a game like this.

"(regarding "spirit of the rules")

Joint KR will get you deleted.
Sharing an op with an ingame ally/
having an offensive ally and both grabbing will generally not."

Ok. I just read this. I guess since this guy attacked more than one person and we/us victims mailed each other and said we are going to get this guy makes us guilty of the "joint kr will get you deleted" rule. But this brings up a huge question...

Is this even a legitimate rule? Earth is basically a war game. This player attacked me multiple times and did spy ops, for no reason. He also attacked another player and missiled them for whatever reason. We are both eligible to retaliate, am I right? This enemy was much bigger than both of us and the only way possible for us to be able to stop this bully from picking on the smaller countries was for us both to attack. We did not share spy ops or arrange a time to hit. We simply mailed and said I am ABing him now or I will BR him tomorrow. Is this really against the rules in a WAR game?

If this is a real rule, then how do I go about retaliating a country that has attacked multiple people with more than grabs?

Also If he's too big to retaliate with a grab how do we go about retaliating if GS or BR will get us banned?

And how is it even possible for one country to kill another country by themselves? Are you using this rule to say that killing a country in tournament is not acceptable? If that's the case then why not remove the option to GS or Br since they are used to kill? Better yet, why not rename tourney, farmville?

In a war game, you have enemies. You fight. You destroy. You kill. You find allies by having common enemies or goals and you utilize your allies to form a stronger country or to eat away at your enemy's.(just like real world) How is this rule acceptable in a game like this?

If a mod could please answer these question I would appreciate it. Maybe we could take a vote to see who thinks killing a country should against the rules or something because this just seems like a ridiculous rule that goes against the gameplay of this particular game. I for one will not play anymore if this turns into a building game that you can not attack in.

I was banned in tourney game C because me and another player were killing a country that has caused us both trouble. You can easily check IP and times or whatever to see that we are not the same person. You unjustly banned me because the enemy reported me cheating so we couldn't kill him (that's my guess). Now it's been 2 days since I could log on. I'm sure he is fully recovered and all my turns I've spent are now wasted and all the turns I've missed in 2 days are wasted. You've ruined my chance for a top spot and the guy that triple attacks and missles people for no reason is sitting in top 10 laughing. Isn't reporting players for cheating for no reason(just because they are an enemy) against the rules? Can you please ban the player that reported me? My country is TTT game C in tournament. The enemy country number is #9. I don't know for sure if he reported me I just know I have played for 15 years and I have NEVER cheated and just by coincindence I'm in the process of killing this guy when I get banned for no reason. Isn't there a check you do before banning the player? It sounds to me like someone is abusing the rules to have me banned without checking to see if I actually did anything against the rules. This is ridiculous. I already appealed and have heard nothing. I left an email address in the appeal so you can reach me there to let me know why this is happening.... or you can just reply and post here because I have nothing to hide and would like to prevent this from happening to any of the other fair players of this game.

I played about 97 too. Then back again about 2004. Now back again.
NBK FTW!

I need a def ally too
