thanks hanlong... but this is an FA issue that doesnt concern you though your input is much appreciated. of course it is still viable to grab to an extent.
but we put a hold on our clan LGing any established alliance in the last 3 weeks of the set as many of them are either warring or netting. we hoped our policy would cover those (like certain members of pdm for instance) who find it entertaining to grab people who are netting right up until the end because said countries either cant, or chose not, to net. we also hoped to avoid many headaches for FA's who have to calculate topfeeds and reperations for lost stock/rebuilding etc... at the end of each set for members (on either side) who grab at the end of the set.
i do not see why this policy is causing such a frenzy here it seems to me to be a simple and viable courtesy to be extended to netters who still want to enjoy this game in such a way. we at sanct also try to make the game fun for others in terms of war every so often. it is hard to be a clan that wants to net and war because you either step on toes one way or another.
constructvie criticism with this policy is welcome but flaming and destructive criticism will be ignored or worse (via thomas' rants). so try to respect this policy or if there is an issue with it, try to contact one of our FA's (FP) to talk about it.
I am probably out of place, but if that was your intent, then an agreed DNH by the last days of the set would be better.
Also 3 weeks before set end is not a bad time to LG, ONE week before the end is a bad time... lets do the math
72 turns per day
504 turns a week
1512 turns in 3 weeks
If I have a crazy BPT and I am a farmer, then is quite profitable and beneficial to my country to keep grabbing like a mad man till 3 or 4 days before end set, I just have to make sure the breaks are not super high, and that I am always hitting Other Farmers and I am making gains on the attacks (easy if your Mil tech is high and you attack people with more land than you) stock has no bearing in this matter, farmers can't "Cash" their turns, so you may as well go and get a lot more land.
So this policy is bullfluff, you just want to make sure you can get lazy with your stock hiding skills.
Don't want to get grabbed 3 weeks before set end? get a +13M jets break and no one will fluff with you... you don't want to get that much mil? then grow a pair and learn to hide stock, so when a farmer hits you looking for free farms, you won't go and hide under a BS policy.
And again, if you don't want people to hit you, then contact their FA's and agree on a mutual DNH before (insert time here).
