As for helping moderators, I could make an ai program which spits back 0 or 1 if a post is deemed inappropriate. You could then add to it where a moderator could see a list of "flagged posts" where they could make visible or punish user via decrease in bonus points.

The main advantage here is the program would be able to flag posts indifferently and instantly.

What I would need is about 2k+ posts of offensive posts. The more you could provide the more accurate the ai would be in detecting it. I would imagine you would be able to sql dump that based on deleted posts? IDK.

This should be possible.

Just make the display with Latin characters and use non Latin with webhooks

Did bots help? Absolutely. Primarily in the market sphere as NiteL as mentioned.

The issue is their limitations. Imagine you're playing chess against the computer & the only level offered was easy.

If bots had different degrees of play (suck -> expert) and you weren't able to distinguish them from the other players you'd effectively be add more players.

Yeah not worth it.

Money costs turns.
Money needed to buy jets.
Money needed to buy oil.
Money needed to buy buildings on unbuilt.
Turns needed to build that land.

It’s all turns. Not worth it. Way more efficient to grab a bot.

Perhaps the units should return back to you (without the loss of a turn) if you try to sell below your own private market price.

Nobody gets them. There's mins which the market autobuys.

The mins are not broadcasted to avoid market xfers; but, if you played for awhile or experimented some they're not hard to figure out.

As for BPT the known formula is

Math.sqrt(TargetLand/4)

So for like 10k land:
Math.sqrt(10000/4) = 50.

I rarely see the benefit of LGing players. Even for 1:1. A smart player isn't going to retal you right away,. and after the attacker has fully built that land then the retal basically eats all those turns.

I won’t even play GDI against you, so you can get FS.

1v1 me on express major?

Paint the picture whichever way you want. I'm done with trying to make sense to you.

What are you talking about?

It wouldn’t have mattered if I were tagged. You guys were LGing tagged players too. Both light and darkness. So don’t give me that BS.

@Req
Rybka! 100.

@Coalie
You're 100% a team player; but, I cannot grab you or anybody for that matter to fix the situation.

I lost like 4k land. To rebuild that would take roughly 80 turns.
That's 80 turns of not teching at $3999 a turn.
That's 80 turns I can't buy cheap oil/food early in the set.
Because of the rare conditions of set with so many fascists and few techers there was an extraordinary amount of oil to buy on server (which is almost never the case).

I would have been one of the few rare people to have ever broke 100m with an all explore country.

But I get it.. nobody cares about my sob story & I'm beginning to sound like a broken record. Since #19 is too proud to delete his country I'll just delete mine & you can enjoy your lame a$$ server. I wont hit your netters only because I've gotten several messages of support and I'm not interested in being the fluffhead of the game.

@BH
I usually play on intuition; but, this set there were only like 2-3 techers with like 50% of the server as Fascists. I had a real chance of getting 100m this set because of the demand of agri tech. So yeah,. I actually tried this time.

@Coalie
You're blinded by your loyalty to darkness. I don't fault you for that because it's admirable; but, I cannot accept your line of reasoning. You're saying I'm partially to blame for a 1:5 retal. Even if I were the initiator when is 1:5 retal acceptable? How does a veteran player who sees my name attack me 5x and expect everything to be gravy after the fact? It just makes no sense. 100 troops was my defense. Think about that for a moment. I gave a warning PM and I retaled one time & you're saying it's my fault. Bro,. you're still cool, but you're not being honest about the situation.

If you look at my history BETA hit me first. Similar situation,. where I sent their members a msg that I was going to retal one of them; but, guess what happened? The person who hit me sent a classy in game message to me and offered up their land instead & I told him/her that I was so impressed by how they handled that situation that I had no desire to attack any of their members. And I didn't. Don't believe me, ask them. I'm a reasonable person. Most people don't give warnings of retals but I did.

@Superfly
I'm not sure why you remember that situation like you do. I had like 4 total deaths on server & that one set I got like 5. So yes after doubling my deaths I stopped playing that set. Somehow you call that running away or rage quitting. Look at my profile to verify what I'm saying.
As for sanctions I don't really care about that. I can play each server the way I want. If you guys want to ignore diplomacy that's your clan's right; but, I'm trying to give one person the opportunity to squash the whole situation; but, I predict their pride will come before their clan.

I've had quite a number of people agree with what I'm saying in private. I will keep them anonymous because that's what I do; but, if they want to post here that's up to them. You guys can't expect everyone else to play by the rules and not enforce them on your members. The fact that this is a senior player of your clan makes it worse.

Basically you're going to allow the pride of one player who clearly was in the wrong cause so many problems for your clan.

@Rasp
The decision of being an EE developer had nothing to do with your endorsement and everything with my refusal to work on the current AI code. You forget this game is 100% free. I don't need to walk on egg shells to help improve YOUR game experience for FREE.

@Coalie
Not sure how I've "treated [darkness] like crap recently". You would need to provide specifics.

I didn't kneejerk and spend 1 billion cash on tanks and wreck your netters with my money. No, I offered a very reasonable diplomatic choice.
It's a complete double standard here.

Imagine if Lumiere (#21) attacked one of your netters and then Leto came out and said, hey, just kill my country and we call it even. There's no way you'd accept that. No instead you'd just kill the player Lumiere (#21).

I am not asking for something unreasonable here. I spent a great deal of time calculating to break 100mil this set and it's ruined because of one player.

My offer still stands with diplomacy to avoid all this.

1 set for 1 set.

#19 self deletes or dies or I will certainly follow through on my promises. The ball is in your court.

Hopefully you make the best decision for the clan.

Nothing in this thread is directed to Darkness specifically. I literally left Light's chat the moment one of their members LG'd me (a few sets back) Ask them.

I'm 100% fair across the board. Do what you can afford.

I invested a lot of time calculating my netting strategy this set. What I will not allow is for you two have two clans where one nets and the other attacks their competition. You're all on the same team.

It's a really simple formula. If you don't want to lose netting members to me acting crazy then just target someone else. I've been doing this for awhile now. Everyone acts tough for the first 5 sets. It gets old after about set 6 getting OOP attacked on every server.

darkn3ss and darkness are different tags? come on now..

1.) I'm in GDI
2.) I'm a demo
3.) I had like 100 troops of defense (after after LGing you)
4.) All my tech was in agri tech
5.) My spal was like 5?
6.) I had like 20 turns
7.) I sent you a warning why I attacked you before attacking you
8.) You spied all that info about me and still hit me like 5x.
9.) You're trying to convince me that darkness and darkn3ss are different tags

My retal policy vs clans
1:1 - I continue set as usual.
2:2 - I throw in my set to max out military strat and move within 2% networth for maximium LG on best target associated with that clan.
3+ - I use every possible resource to ruin that players' clan members' set on every server until I get bored ( which is never )

I'm not going to burn all my resources to retal the same guy who LG me. That would clearly ruin my set. So I selected another person in your clan as a target. You can be selfish and attack me; but, it will be your clanmates who will suffer. That applies to anyone and anything remotely spelled like that clan's name. And yes, I will purposely select netter countries just as your attacker picked me as a netter.

So my message to any netters in Darkness, don't tag anything with their name I will ruin your set.

So to answer your question, yes, it makes sense.

Says the guy with more deaths than kills.

To clan leaders (not just darkness):

It's important to not blindly recruit players into your clan that you don't explain who you should attack and not attack. You're responsible for the members of your clan. There's more to a clan just sending them an invitation link.

When players attack me it's like saying I don't care about the consequences you've got. So it's my duty to show them why it does.

5 retals to 1 attack is never OK. I even sent #19 a msg as to why I attacked him/her before attacking.

I will have a clear transparency diplomacy here: Take out #19 or every set & every server I will be very annoying.

As I knew my warning would get ignored I was hopeful. Apologies to the innocent in advance.

It made no sense to attack the real crazy on the server.

I wasn't worth attacking.
I always overreact.
I'm a loner for a reason. I don't play well with others. So don't invite me to your party.

I always do cross server (including Primary, Tourney, Alliance)
I will suicide you well beyond what is logical.

I know none of these threats mean anything to you; but, I am warning you.

It would be nice to have a couple of oiler bots on this server. It looks like that code was never completed.

Looks good to me!

Going to a day or so getting used to not deleting it but I'm v happy about this change.

(Somehow the war page got it right)...

In fact., I’d argue this would be an easy change bc if I clear out the values to an empty string the server reads it as zero., so it’s really just updating the html value to be “” not “0”

No idea why they were ever added. On mobile it’s a PITA., and oftentimes can lead to doing 10x the amount you wanted. Can we finally remove the zeros from all the input boxes?!

Like all of them.

GJ Tertius for spotting this.

If I’m understanding the complaint in this thread., the issues arises whenever a player is killed, their restart has an undesirable amount of unbuilt land which under the current proposal they would not be able to drop that land during the final 25% left of game.

It’s reasonable to believe that restarts would face this situation in the last 25% of the game since most wars are delayed/scheduled. The problems of having extra land as a restart makes paying for buildings significantly more expensive and greatly reduces all tech % across the board including spal. By placing your proposed mechanism only for players who have played more than 200 turns it would seem it would address the FFO issue while maintaining current functionality.

Maybe Slag will clone this part on GitHub so I can fix it. ;)

Very odd this has been broken for this long.

I would assume it would be easy to fix.

If country age isn’t available then I would think turns taken < 200 would be sufficient.

Perhaps the trick here is to check the variable of how old the country is and if it’s < 1 day old then allow them to drop land.

Then you get pros of both situations and shouldn’t be too hard to add that condition programmatically.

The point of the change is to discourage FFO. If he makes it too late in set then they’ll just convert sooner and take the hit.

You attacking the wrong ppl..

Zzzzzz
