A complete hypothetical, of course. If I suicided on SoF, and people watching the news sees the hits and start grabbing me... SoF will kill/farm the countries who farm the farmer?

Just want to figure this out.

Yes; there policy reminder confused me. Were they saying that the people who farm a suicider will also be farmed?

i thought their policy was that people who are allied to suiciders will be killed too....

not people who watch the news

that's something for sof to work out with FA's from each alliance that hits the country, based on that policy (as I read it :p)

but it's my belief that the only countries which would be killed for grabbing a suicider from the news would be countries in tags that SoF would like to kill anyway :p

if you actually took the time to read the thread you would see that its merely a suggestion that i made that sof has said they have been considering adopting as a policy

meanwhile, stop being a fluff and trying to make people quit the game while the other 99% of us are trying to get more people to join

Who said I'm trying to make people quit the game? It was a question regarding their policy.

While it was a suggestion you made, SMz stated on the second page that:

"every country that will grab countries like #215 and #119 after they sucicded SoF , will be crippled killed or farmed.
it will apply ONLY on countries who sucicde us heavly (not countries that do 1 grab or retals)."

If you are unable to see why that was confusing, that's fine. I, however, did find it confusing--and wanted clarification.

So we were all clear, its fine for me to suicide and for BobbyATA to farm me. Right?

no more 2stepping for you Evo/LaF.

Oh, so you hate "twostepping" but you yourself did it to #675?

awesome.

Suggestion: ignore SMz.

ya, just play a country to make yourself the best you can be... not tear down the work of others.

then you don't have to care at all about any policies any alliances adopt re:suiciders

Well, I think the claim that I am trying to run people out of the game is ridiculous. A large alliance was the one who made the claim that they have no qualms in killing all the untags.

you've no comment on your own proved hypocrisy? quit the false unproved accusations and go fcuk yourself.

Anyway, 119, I don't really approve people to suicide - this time it might be sof, the next time it might be some other alliance. It's uncool.

We already know its BobbyATA, he slipped up in another thread and has attempted to cover it up by saying he made the slip up on purpose as a joke.

If thats true though I wonder what alliance BobbyATA is in atm, and his current country.

i'm not talking about running people from the game...

I'm just saying that playing to win is much better for everyone than suiciding.
you know who typically get hurt by suiciders? the half-caring players who have one foot out the door already, and leave their country in a vulnerable spot. it's easy to make your country unattractive to suicider, but it requires more effort than some are willing to put in

if you're suiciding on SoF, you're unlikely to hit Ivan or Chevs or Aponic or someone like that who is going to shrug it off... you're more likely to hit someone you've never interacted with before, and the reaction could be anything

that just fuels the fire which makes this server less fun for all parties (that's how I've always felt, at least...)

I know. I've had it happen to me and ruin my top 10 finish. I don't plan on suiciding random people. But if SMz is doing well at sets end, I might consider hitting him. =p

I dont really care who you are nor do I recognize the name bobbyata other than as the nick you accidentally posted with earlier

I do care that you are ruining the game for people, probably not even the same people that caused you to start such selfish, childish behavior in the first place

So will you tell us why you have suicided and seem to be interested in continuing to do so?

Also, it was sol not sof that said they were going to kill all of those pesky untaggeds

I'd prob go farmer 10-12 days into it. No tech phase and explore hopefully to 10k. Grab all you want, buy tech, and start to stock by day 15/16 or so. I'm sure you could do decent without much trouble, unless you grab ofc.

Don't start hypothetical discussions how evil SoF will act if you suicide on us.

We got suicided on this reset and i don't see SoF going overbord killing or crippling innocent. I only see stupid idiots trying to ruin other peoples game by suiciding.

I think it is merely a suggestion. I would also think he has a vested interest in trying to keep players around--even those who are untagged.

Just my 2 cents.

Because it is in the admin's best interest that the people playing this game act in a way that does not drive others to quitting the game.

It is also in our best interest as players, that the player base not decline too rapidly, but people are too selfish to think of that when they suicide on random countries.

I finished with 105M for 107th place as an untagged and thats by far the best result I know of. I woudln't say doing much better than that is impossible, but that finish took a whole lot of luck (high tech prices, a couple nice early retals, having Chevs as an ally)

they couldn't possibly hold such a policy, otherwise they themselves would be guilty of it.

lets just hope if they try to force it on others they admit that they themselves are allowed to do it.

same would go for laf and evo.
