I would expect that anyone with admin access to evo's site would be happy to make the change but I guess we're just playing PR games here.

I don't think that Rasp's minor disclosure was malicious in any way but of course I'm going to delete stuff like that when I see it. As Celphi has said it's possible to accidentally disclose stuff that shouldn't be public. The best defense is not to say anything at all.

Ask your boss Qz.

If an API user hit every feed at the throttled rate it would be 432,288 times in 24 hours. All legitimate hits to the feeds. Tools are meant to be used to the extent they allow.

200,000 hits seems like a non-issue considering.

The need to hit the feed often is a design flaw with the feeds themselves IMO. I would prefer to see a websocket feed vs sending HTTP polling.

My gut feeling would be that it would save CPU by not having to establish the full HTTP pipeline on multiple back-to-back requests all the time X however many sites there are running.

The news feed for example has a trottling limit of 1 second. To get near realtime info you would have to hit it 86,400 a day just for that one feed.

I seen Rasp's post and it wasn't anything private TBH. Many people have speculated about this. We've seen these issues before and Qz was transparent about it in the past.

You shouldn't be so seductive Slag, Rasp is a respected member of this community. Control your emotions.

Just out of curiosity I wonder how much it would cost for a site this size w its traffic in the cloud. I bet you’d still wanna run bots locally to save compute.

I've made the same suggestion many times. I think it's an easy solution that gives people what they want.

The capture the flag server feels over complicated and bogged down in detail that I wouldn't wish to learn.

Sometimes I stagger my prices... The advantage is to avoid overwhelming the market at a single price and triggering a sell-off by others out of fear their units wont sell. More bundles at different prices help to smooth it out. At least that's my thoughts!

It is only worth it if you prevent said undercutting and your stuff doesn't sell all the way.

The age-old struggle between the Haves (Premium Patron Users™) and the Have-Nots (Scrappy Peasants aka TANs™). It starts with "a little extra turns" and before you know it, I'm rolling up to your alliance meetings in a new Lexus, Coalie is buying up all the stocks and reselling at a 1% margin to buy his $15 lunch, and KoH is drafting new "fairness reforms" that just so happen to give him a free FS on anyone who disagrees to MAKE EARTH EMPIRES GREATEST GAME EVER IN THE HISTORY OF GAMES, NEVER BEEN A MORE SPECTACULAR GAME MADE BY THESE VERY NICE PEOPLE. (in his words).

Now let's talk about your platform, TAN, because I would like to see exactly how you're planning to "cut the fat" with a mod buyout. Is this the kind of shady accounting where you "take control of the treasury and fire everyone"– ok Elon. Suddenly we're all paying 200% tax while you Pang, Slag, and Qz sip mimosas at the Holiday Inn– with very nice and affordable pool access?

Listen, the people are tired of being swindled! Say no to TAN!

My point was my team was the best. The numbers don’t lie.

Team has consistently fallen short because it has never truly embodied the spirit of the server. It’s nothing more than a failed experiment, an idea that never lived up to its potential.

Your take is so flawed, I refuse to waste another millisecond entertaining such egregious lapses in logic. Consider this my final acknowledgment of your misguided reasoning.

Auto Wall will buy you some time when you get attacked by applying a shield that will last 180 seconds. This should allow you time to log into your account and be present for the attacks against your country.

If we take that stance, wouldn’t it make more sense to eliminate all forms of relations in solo servers?

Lets look at defense allies as an example:

If someone farms your formal in-game ally:
- You lose units.
- Your defense ally becomes compromised, exposing you to more people that can break you.

If formal allies are allowed in solo servers, why should mutual defense beyond the pact be excluded? It is inconsistent.

If the goal is to create a true solo experience just remove the alliances altogether. We end up with a vague, self-regulated system that’s often misjudged by unpaid volunteers who delete first and ask questions later.

You can extend this line of reasoning to this suggestion.

I'm just here to play a game, LARP some, and make a few jokes.

Relax and take this for what it is... It's a text-based game trying to keep the 90s alive.

Derrick is a Patron User but lost his Premium status, so I am also elevated above him.
