u sound whiney

top feeding has nothing to do with rank? it has everything to do with rank. when lower rank grabs higher rank, that's top feeding.

is this an actual multi leading to delete, or is this a perceived coordination/teamwork leading to delete?

give em more then

if you can't have the 'total land' record, maybe you can have the 'single land grab' record.

it is. just express server stat page is different.

game also keeps track of #K. it has missiles with no other purpose than for warring. how do u explain that for a netting only game?

like i said. ban everything. ps and ss only. jets and turrets only. get rid of everything else so a few cry babies can net in peace.

r there war stats, yes or not?

So there is no such thing as war stats. The game fits a certain mold and there is only one way to enjoy a game. By netting. By being top 10.

fluff, maybe the game needs a serious overhaul then. Under your directions, we should eliminate all units except jets and turrets. All attack types should be removed except SS and PS. Only intel ops and no offensive ops. No missiles. And with that we can lighten up tech (e.g. no SDI, warfare, etc). GDI is of course not necessary now, so get rid of that too. Lean and mean. Game will be all about out-netting each other and land trading. No wars allowed.

Why are you still so whiny then? Right, you started whining when that one time you thought you could do well but didn't, because you evidently didn't join GDI that round too. You're like a baby crying to mom in a toy store because you didn't get your way when she said one toy is enough.

What a load of bull.

Each game has their own rules in place about what you can or cannot do and what the spirit of the game should be. In FPS games, things like TKing is not allowed as those sorts of games may involve teamwork, and TKing is purposely intended to disrupt gameplay. Tking is griefing in those games.

In this game, there are no rules against 'being attacked multiple times without provocation'. Boo hoo. Cry me a river already.

If this game was all about 'netting', then why do they have missiles? Why have offensive ops? Why have AB, GS? Why have any other units other than jets and turrets?

The simple truth is you play to net. But that's you. That's not what this game "is about". The game should not have rules molded around benefiting the few special interests who prefer "netting". It is a strategy game with human players and it involves netting and warring.

Guys like you will mine tiberium only all day in C&C with zero units. And cry when someone rushes you with tanks. "Boo hoo, C&C should be about mining tiberium. The other team attacked me without provocation. I want to win with more resource points because I mined the most tiberium."

More self serving BS from a self important ahole.

Toxic = mean to me.

Trolling = saying things I don't like.

Illegal behavior = anything that hurts my game play.

Legal = anything that most benefits my style of game play.

Bots need to be changed. Rules need to be changed. Certain behaviors need to be banned. Game is not perfect. People are not perfect. Hey, how about you invent your own game if you're so good? Or, hey, maybe you could try playing the game with the landscape you've in and quit bltching.

/weekly post... bones

May your soul be condemned by God and swiftly sent to the cauldrons of hell.

Says the guy with HS level education.

You talk a lot but say essentially nothing at all. You deflect and distract. Use ad hominem. Throw in a good measure of strawman arguments. Its almost as if you post for the sake of hearing yourself speak. Maybe your ego was bruised. But it just comes off as you trying very hard to appear intelligent. Tough day at work? You know, it takes people with real pedigree and brains to be in charge. It's very hierarchical, but you know that. Scrubs will continue to take orders from those that bark them. So get used to it. Sucks when you're not tough enough to do a man's work, and not brainy enough to be in charge. Stuck in the middle. Behind the scenes. Ouch.

What a load of strawman bull.



No it's not. Cite a source that states "socialist systems" are "by definition totalitarian". For a self proclaimed well studied academic on the topic of socialism, you seem to BS quite a bit.

Your general tone demonstrates how hell bent you are on arguing semantics and take a stance against practical and non-traditional non-academic usage of terminologies. It's your beef right now. Yet. socialism at it's core says nothing about totalitarianism. At it's core, it is an economic system. Now, you can find different philosophers who incorporate socioeconomic ideas to socialism, but socialism, at least in simple dictionary definition, at it's core is equitable sharing of resources for all. So tell me where "totalitarian" of socialism comes in, "by definition" too no less, professor.



Who said discussing a rule is socialist? I always referred back to Gerdler (cough clintonista). Gerdler's intentions were very much socialist in the principles he espouses and in the practical nature of his authoritarian tone. And that is excluding his past rant on "GDI for all" and all the other GDI based rants. I know a socialist when I see one.

His advocacy in this thread alone includes:
(1) So called "toxic" behavior that should be outlawed and punished, whatever 'toxic' means. (i.e. toxic = mean to me)
(2) Land:Land retal as opposed to 1:1 hit/retal is more fair.
(3) Quote "Shouldn't it be harder if it is fun? Why should only one thing be a challenge?" - referencing somehow 'leveling the playing field' between perceived 'skill' involved between 'netting' and 'warring' is further warranted.
(4) Rallying behind the diminished top feeding gain.

At the heart of socialist philosophy is the concept of creating equal opportunity to succeed. Gerdler in his infinite wisdom, misguided by his recent butthurt, felt the playing field was somehow left unfair for players of his ilk. The game needed to be 'more fair'. To 'even the playing fields' some more in this highly unfair system that is currently in place. Rather than playing the game with the rules that were already established, and adapting to it, he wants changes made to enact "equitable treatment". When in reality, he just wants the game to fit a certain mold.

In practice, he sings the same song practical socialists before him have sung. He wanted more rules and regulations to suit his utopia of equitable treatment in this insanely unfair game.



Give examples where authoritarian regimes have existed before 'written history'.

The idea that you make claim to knowledge and facts of something that is outside of recorded human history, in and of itself should smell funny even to the untrained eye. To argue on and on about semantics and ride on a high horse the entire time while you continue to make illogical and factually incorrect statements left and right is troubling.

I mean, at this point it seems like you're pulling shyt out of your A to sound cool. But I very much would still like to 'learn' from you, what the oldest examples of authoritarianism is, pre-3XXX BC, a statement of facts backed by none other than no actual recorded history.

I understand you're being a devil's advocate.

Well, there is also truth to excessive and false reports too. Law enforcement deal with that all the time in the real world. False tips. False leads. Fake news. You don't charge everyone just because someone threw in a false tip, maliciously or not.

Maybe one ought to be more realistic to why such behaviors exist in the first place. It's not that people necessarily even need to coordinate against players when they jump onto the bandwagon on a kill run. It's that these players must stick out like a sore thumb.

GDI rules are server side enforced. Which means you pretty much can't mess with people with GDI. Most people have GDI because most people want to net. They derive enjoyment by seeing how high they can get their networth that week and how high they rank. But others are looking for war instead of net as that is where they derive enjoyment. Implicitly, this reality singles out people without GDI that can be messed with, and they thusly become a target. There are only so many on the top without GDI. It seems natural that they become a focal point of attention of trolls.

If I had a wad of cash sitting on the dash of my unlocked car, and it gets stolen. Then I leave cash there again, unlocked, and it gets stolen again elsewhere. Am I to blame or is there conspiratorial coordination by the community at large to steal cash from my unlocked car?

Your superficial understanding of socialism has you thinking socialism is all about economics where it's by definition an economy where resources are shared by public ownership. Therefore you think you're right and almighty by calling me out for the use of 'socialists' when I am referring to the political aspect of socialism, and that is, socialism often begets authoritarianism. Socialism has an economic and political angle.

Pretty much every closely 'socialist' regime in practice was authoritarian. Nazis, communists, etc. You cannot demand that economic resources be publicly owned/shared, and the playing field 'equal and fair', without imposing strict rules on behavior.

Going back to what posters above have been advocating, thus the label. i.e. banning and making illegal certain game play behaviors because it inequitably affects a few (notably himself that one match so it must not be fair). The need for more bots to keep heat off humans and even the playing field for land grabs for all. Land:land retal policy proposed instead of 1:1 strike/retal. Banning 'hurtful' and 'excessive' retaliatory strikes when land grabbed (citing gogy's case in what was actually a double tap). lol. How is that not socialist tendencies? Make everything 'fair' and equitable. To that end, lets have more rules.

What rule is being broken by contributing to a kill run? There are no such rules. In fact, such rules are exactly what the others here are advocating for.

Didn't this get hashed out to death earlier? Coordination requires communication and pre-planning by multiple parties. It involves one party communicating with another and expressing intent to collude. Jumping in on a bandwagon as a 'free agent' is not coordinating. News camping is not coordinating. Even if 10 guys gang up on one guy, but each do so independently, or motivated by various reasons, it is not collusion.

What do you mean? No rules were broken.

There was not TKing like you suggested because this is a solo server with no teammates with which to betray you.

I assume you were Michael Faraday (#59), as it shows as you on the score board. You were ganged up on, but that's the game. It's the natural consequence of the game mechanics and the players. Most of these players news camp and jump on the bandwagon. Last set (https://www.eestats.com/express/oldranks/1284) there was a guy called KR Reinforcement (#17) that jumped in to help others finish off KRs. But this isn't a team. This is a pack of vultures picking off a lion's prey.

Frankly, it's been this way for a long time also. Two unspoken community based cardinal rules. (1) Join GDI. (2) Don't break GDI once you join. People in high rank often get into trouble when they break either of those rules as evidenced every round.

Then there are the game rules about cheating. This is what needs to be enforced. If nobody is running multis or outright teaming up with coordination, then there is no cheating.

So many socialists around here wishing for more regulations and more rules and more hand holding by big brother.

Yep. It's clintonista.

Weak strawman arguments are weak.

Finally, you claimed this:



Wrong. Joining GDI is all it takes. Barrier to entry is low. It involves not having a shytty memory and clicking a button or two. Quit patting yourself on the back. You have no elusive skill in defense of being trolled other than to join GDI. Which is not reflective of your gameplay abilities. Evidently, you couldn't even do that last set. So what is this skill you speak of?

Maybe you got lucky last set. Look what happened to Michael Faraday (#59).

Just looked at eestats. That's actually wrong.

Here's a quiz: He was in GDI. So why did he get hit with missiles?

Gerdler sounds like a guy in Red Alert that only mines resources but has no troops, then complains about being rushed by tanks.

Or the guy in Civilization who has zero troops and all economy and complains about having land taken.

He's the guy in RTS games that always proposes "No rush 30 min ok?".

Boo hoo.

TL & DR

are you clintonista?

You sound like a good socialist.

Everyone should have their hands held. Big brother is there to dictate what everyone can or cannot do. Cameras installed in all homes. More rules. More regulations.

Yes you can grab bots. No you can't grab humans more than once as it's not nice.

Why does the game have missiles then? Get rid of that too. There is no need for this.

Why have AB, BR and GS? It serves no purpose but to screw with people. So get rid of this too.

Only have Standard and PS.
