Oh, I think that's saying what Lincoln was saying.

That the news is publishing low on the page, below what you can see on the actual monitor, so it's there but you can't actually see it or scroll to it.

what does that mean exactly? [/quote]It's asking whether we should get the most recent attacks at the top pf the screen or the oldest attacks at the top of the screen, I think.


Why?

See all news and defending won't work for me. Spy, Market, and relations seem to work now that I test them.

URL for defending is normal sit then /main?types=30,40,41&

I've refreshed it but nothing.

As for my alliance, I just click on Play your country and all of a sudden I'm at my login screen at http://www.earthempires.com/
Any alliance link does that to me (previous country, server details, etc.)
Though I seem to be technincally logged in still since when I hit play it brings me back to the screen to choose my server.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to read my news.

Whenever I click on one of the news links, or make an attack, I just get a black screen with the side option bar, I can't see any of my actual news or attack results.


Also, I can't access my Alliance country. It's still alive (at least according to boxcar) and well, and I can access the other servers, but whenever I try and log in to my alliance country it suddenly kicks me from my account.

You should remove the DR, or at least put a cap on it.

It's just messed up when I, with over 1 mil spies, can't perform ops on a 0 spy country just because I've already done a bunch on them.

I mean GS, BR, and AB are still effective during a kill run, so why should I start failing 29/30 stir rebellion ops, or bomb buildings?

And yeah, like I said in the other thread, they need to be more powerful. I hate doing an AB and destroying hundreds of buildings, then only destroying 17 buildings on a spy op.

My username and password?

Sure, how could that go wrong. I'm sure this is not a scam to get access to all the clan websites.

Spy ability should be SPAL, but not mine versus yours.

It should be that the only land taken into account are the defending person's.

So if I have 100 000 spies on 1 acre and spy someone with 200 000 on 8000 acres, the fact I've dropped to 1 acre doesn't matter. It would be the 100 000/8000 versus 200 000/8000


In terms of power, spies should absolutely be more powerful. Especially things like bomb buildings and bomb airbases (I have yet to have that work at all). More than that, they should remain effective. I hate how once I've done a few ops in a kill run, they stop working.

As for cost, I think spies should remain their cost right now. Spy tech should lower the cost a little bit, but I think we should also go the other way. Have spies actually worth some real NW. That way even if they still cost a fair bit with spy tech, you know you're at least getting the power and NW out of it so the cost is worth it.

Then his left hand shouldn't count as a girlfriend.

Hell yeah it is.


I say attack him back twice (and make sure you get all your acres back plus some).

You took the time out to go take a look in EVERY thread on ffat to see how many times he posted in them?

You really don't have a life do you?

Are you serious?

You mean they actually allow mental patients like Gregg time on the computer?

You learn something new everyday.

Nowhere. It wouldn't be fun to do it two sets in a row.

If I were going to continue it on, I would have created the country a colour country like "Mr.Silver" or "Mr.Black", then tagged up as xRDx before RD got the chance.

But as I said, wouldn't have been as much fun.

Well it depends. If you only hit someone twice, you can probably get away with it.

The problem is people like whom I've faced who'll hit you 7 times in a row.

Now why can they hit me? Because I'm a farmer/oiler and they're a commie indy. They have more military than I do to start off with. In a day or two I'll probably be higher than them, but until them I'm vulnerable, like in every other server.

So when I log on and see the same country has used spy ops on me then hit me 7 times, I hit them back. Obviously they're not going to stop unless I do something. So I AB and GS them 10-20 times, depending on how many turns I have at that point. Maybe even throw a missile or two their way.

The result is that they'll leave me alone, and at that point I leave them alone.

Oh Oh, I know this one.


Did it earn them.... disgust?

Calculus, Functions and Relations, etc.
Want an example?
3! = 6

Oh, you weren't actually asking.
516 is a rough estimate (forgive me for now wasting me time figuring out the exact amount and explaining it to you).
232 turns in the actual attacks.
Then there's actually getting my military. The time it took to raise it up on day 1 plus the time it took to get enough back after I started being attacked would have been anouther 200 turns. Yes, 200, I'd had to build it up which took awhile, and I'd had to rebuild it which took longer since I'd needed different buildings to survive.
Then there was my readiness which would have taken about 30 turns for those attacks since i lost readiness attacking a target that was over twice my size.
Then there own spy ops, about 10 of them.
Then there's the 50 turns spent building my country up before I built me military.

So with those numbers it works out to 522. I said 516 because I knew it was somewhere around there, and it was easier just to double the defends and use that number than actually work it out.

There's more turns spent on attacking that just the actual attack.

Actually I didn't display vanity or pride. You really don't seem to understand that, despite having admitted my country sucked multiple times.

And you don't know what arrogance is. That or you really just don't get humor. I obviously don't actually expect or want them to create a restart for me to attack. It's a joke because the one country I was attacking before is now dead. It highlights the lack of threat thing. It's a joke, get over it.

Do you understand what arrogant means?

I ask because explaining how my country was utter crap is the opposite of arrogance.


Also, do you know what humor is? I mean you obviously don't understand it, so I wonder if you know what it means at all.

Now, I have to go (Canada Day), but before I do, I want to say I'm disappointed in you RD.

I'm disappointed because you let the country I was attacking die (or killed it yourselves since it was an inactive). Now I'm not saying I killed it, because I didn't, but you let it die and I'm disappointed in that. I'm disappointed because now I can't attack it.

How am I suppsoed to create crappy restarts to annoy with if you don't leave a small country for me to attack? Without small countries to attack (thankfully I think there's one left), I'd have to actually spend time building up a country to attack you real ones, and that negates the whole point of my countries in this server.

I am disappointed in you guys for not leaving a small country for me to attack. You guys should know better. I will, however, forgive you if you just create a small country for me to mockingly attack once more.

Also, I never said I did damage to RD. I mocked about my attacks, but we already know my attacks were against countries that haven't been played in almost a month.

I was saying RD dropped NW to attack me (which is confirmed on here) which is what's funny. I was saying you guys weakened yourselves to hit me. I already confirmed (multiple times) that I was not a threat and my country was pathetic.

Here, I'll make it clear right here for everyone:

My country sucked. It had no true stat, it made pitiful attacks, couldn't take a hit, and had no ability to actually wall. It's top NW was a little over 300k and average NW was a little over 200k. It had no missiles, no tech, not fighting power. It was not a threat to RD in anyway, and was quite pathetic.

That's why dropping NW to kill it is funny. If it was actually a threat to RD then it wouldn't be funny.

There's something wrong with those stats there. I took more hits than that (and many more ops as I pointed out), and I think the amount of attacks is too high. That would be a total of 516 turns spent on me attacking, that seems really high for four days of attacks (since I spent half my turns rebuilding to keep attacking without killing myself).

I'm not saying you guys are completely unreasonable. I'm saying you take your policy to the extreme in circumstances when there's no reason to, which I find funny.

Interesting few sets? How so? I'm not in a team, and my only countries have been the ones (killed and new restart) that I created specifically to attack and mock RD with.

You really think I'd mock and attack RD if I actually planned on trying to make a go of it on the Team server?

It would only be bragging if I listed all my attacks, the damage I did, and how many turns it took them to kill me. Fact is it took more than just a couple hundred. I'm sure if I bothered to count it would be fairly close to 1000 or possibly more.
Of course that's because I recieved quite a few attacks and ops and then had time to get my pop back so they had to start all over again. Using that would be bragging. I didn't, I mocked them for wasting resources to kill.

They had lower NW countries that were already hitting me that they could have let handle it, and they have two lower countries I attacked (though they both may have been inactive). Point is they had people in range who did attack me without dropping NW.

Yes, I'm sure they have. And I'm sure it's more fun to attack and kill. However killing a restart that attacks right OOP would provide little entertainment value. Far less than simply attacking random enemies.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the policy has no merit, and I'm not saying killing those other countries was extreme. I'm saying RD's 1:Kill policy can be taken to extreme, and dropping NW to kill a restart (though I hate that word since it was my first country on the server) is one example.

That doesn't mean I support the people RD attacked. My post about everyone else doing it so it seemed like fun was supposed to be a shot at how everyone wants a peice of RD, as opposed to RD just killing random people.
Originally I was going to get killed then mock the others by complaining, but then I figured they've complained enough already that there's just no point.

That's because you clearly have no sense of humor.
Calling my NW od about 240 extremely high is a joke.
Listing my types of attacks and still living is mocking RD.
Pride is actually thinking I was doing well. Given my statements about my country being pathetic, it's quite obvious I did not think I was doing well.
It should also be obvious that the entire thread was mocking RD, and your assumption that I was proud of the country is ridiculous.

Why not add me to the mix? that should be obvious, because it's ridiculous. They wasted resources killing a country when they easily could have a) simply given aid to a restart and had them kill me (along with the others who already were), or B) just ignored me until I was within their range.

That's the point, why bother when they won't win. They easily could win if they didn't take their policy too seriously. They take an extreme policy to even more extremes, and harm their own countries in the process, when they could easily just ignore me or use one of various other options.

That's the whole point of this thread, a point you seem to miss. It's pointing out the foolishness in their policy by them taking it to the extreme.

What's worse is dropping millions in networth just to kill a fly. That's why RD did, and it's quite funny. They did it because they want to enforce their 1:kill policy, meanwhile all it does is damage their countries.

What makes it funny is that I put it right on here that I was doing it for fun because everyone else was. They easily could have let me get to over 500k NW then attacked, but they didn't, I knew they wouldn't, it's because they need to enforce their policy despite the damages to them.

Now yes, they've killed more than most, but there's a difference between killing and war. They attack countries that piss them off, they'll even attack a clan. What they don't do is war. War, in the team server, is supposed to mean a tag on tag war. Not multiple tags slaughtering one tag.

You seem to miss the entire point here. They didn't waste turns because they killed someone. They wasted the turns by killing a country that really wasn't a threat.
As for my turns, they weren't wasted at all. If you actually went to the top of the thread and read, you'd see that the entire purpose of the country was to fight RD. Why? Because it was fun, and because it's a good laugh to watch them drop million of NW and spend turns killing a fly.

Yes, some people do have to get off their high horses. Unfortunately I have no control over you so you're probably going to continue on assuming you're always right.

They don't. However calling your own country pathetic doesn't shout pride.

As for being a retard, that would be someone who thinks pride is calling your own country pathetic. So you really don't want to go there.

As for huge threat, that's a laugh. It was a just out of protection attack against a country that hasn't been played in almost a month. So if my country was a huge threat to RD then that's pretty sad.

As for the philosphy and policy, they're not hard to understand. 1:kill. Yes, I've I make an attack, or just annoy them on here, they'll kill me. That's a policy put in place for protection, so that other clans know to leave them alone. That allows them to net in peace while making unretaled grabs. It's a warbased strategy to help with netting.

My point is that you said you guys have fun spending turns and resources killing restarts. But if you enjoy war and such then you guys would actually war. The 1:kill policy and the lack of warring goes aainst that.

Either of you want to point out where I said I was proud?


I'll give you some time to find it because you guys know I didn't say I was proud.


I'll also give you time to find out where I said I was the only one.
Protip: 3rd post on this thread, my second post on this thread, points out that I knew others had already declared on RD.

Rather, instead of saying I was important, I said my country had been pathetic.

What I said was that it was fun.

As for it not being wasted and fun instead, then why did Archaic say he was satisfied when I offered anouther go? And why have the 1:kill policy in the first place. Why not just war people all set?
But if it's fun then we'll go again.

When did I say I was proud of attacking the country?

I just think it's funny they wasted all those turns and resources just to take out a small country that was no real threat. The fact that the country I attacked hasn't been played in almost a month just makes it even more funny.

Because of commisions, no there's not. They can get some of it back, but some of it is just gone, and right at the end of set too so prices are going to be higher than when they sold.

They also wasted those missles, and wasted a ton of turns.

They lost millions of NW just to destroy me.

Also, not sure when anyone said they were pathetic.


Point is, it took them four days, hundreds of attacks, many missiles, and it lost RD millions on NW just to kill little old me.

[quote poster=Mr Lemon Chiffon]Well we can always try again. You guys don't mind losing millions of NW just to kill my pathetic restarts do you?

Yep, all to take out 1 little, less than 300k NW, country. I think we all know who's the real winner here.

Yup, it only took you close to four days, hundreds of attacks, multiple missles and spy ops, and it force you to sell of a ton of stuff.

Heh heh heh

This.

This is why I left CTU after the Dynasty war.

Say, posting a message to one person on the board rather than messaging seems like spam.

Didn't someone post something about that on here?

Hmm....

Does it try to kiss you right after? Cause if he does, maybe it's on purpose.

No, I suppose we don't have to do it now. Tell you what, to make it up to you, I'll let you take some free acres.

llaar13 (#988)

You can attack there anytime you want :)

That's true.

But take a look at dogs. You raise them, pay for their food and shelter, and pick up their fluff. So who's the real master?

Okay, we can settle this. Tell you what, you take yourself outside, practice hitting yourself and I'll be along shortly.

You don't want to know.

Let's just say it involved rubber, handcuffs, and a chicken.

La di da. Oh what? Sorry, did you say something Thunder? I wasn't paying attention.

Don't be jealous, I'm sure he'll get around to you at some point.

Listen to me

Yeah, I pretty much left after Swirve was sold. The new guys started changing everything and closing things down for extended periods of time and whatnot, it just wasn't worth the effort. But a few weeks ago I just started thinking about the game and decided to see if it still existed. I was pleased to see it does. :)

Heh heh heh.

Bet Iraq wishes that worked in real life don't you think?

Of course not, that's impossible. Why that's as ridiculous as saying impers would hide in someone elses tag.

Welcome to the alliance server.

If you're not in a big clan, you get farmed.
