So you're confused why you can't reply to a message sent from a source that doesn't have an actual country in-game because it came from a game moderator that was issuing a warning for inappropriate messages rather than deleting your country, AND you were going to reply with something inappropriate. Did I understand that correctly?

I think one of the main reasons thus stalled was still too many conceptual and philosophical unknowns still to resolve. I feel like this go-live is a version of an unfinished project still.

Less? Almost all of your deletions with you and your buddy were instances when one of you jumped in to help the other when the third party had no previous interactions, often with one of you even being the initial aggressor. There's a reason your deletion history is a field of lavender.

I'm fairly sure I've come across most of what you guys are arguing about cobwebbed on the mod and dev sections of the forums at some point. I can't share it anyway... I just made this post to say I don't care enough to go look.

In my professional experience, its relatively common to only use whole dollars in financial reporting for larger amounts. While cash transactions often have cents/decimals, they can clutter up reports. The thought process is that $5,591.99 is still not actually $5,592, so just report to the whole dollar you have.

So could be something similar here due to decimals

Gerdler was placed in a forum mod position through the same process as anyone else: He volunteered and a discussion with review was brought up to a panel of game mods, devs, and admins - which was left open for several months (not uncommon). Gerdler and I have always had (and still have) very different views of gameplay and game culture, but my assessment on the moderation topic was objective.

Are you just questioning his judgement or all of ours?

Play the game, guys. The soap opera gets tired quickly.

Sharing ops and break info is not necessarily a prerequisite for breaking the coordination rule. You asked players for help hitting someone on a solo server. This is not a new interpretation of the rule.

In regards to message reporting, the person you were antagonizing for days through messenger was given a warning. For me, I chose to do a warning given the context of all exchanged messages between you two and because the player had no prior warnings or deletions for ingame messages. In other cases, I may make the determination that a deletion is warranted at the start. I can't speak to your second example from a previous round since I don't recall being involved in reviewing that one.

As requested:

I'm more than happy to discuss this in private with you when I get a moment. Blasting mods on the forums is generally not a good start to the appeal process

Oh, so when other people trash LaF associated moderators, it's okay, but when a LaF member does it, they get timed out.

I see how this works.


The issue is not a person/player that happens to be a moderator being trashed regarding something non-mod related but propaganda and unnecessary bashing about moderator actions is not allowed here on the forum. Any concerns regarding moderation can be sent to me.

Education is great. On your way out, why don't you take a few other whiners with you. I'm so sick of hearing all this crybaby bullsh!t.



When I first got here moderators were handing out some sort of punishment for griefing and I was told it was not allowed by the entire community. Superfly was punished for this same behavior and i saw this myself.


I am not crying, I am asking for the rules to be applied evenly.



Is it not ok if I just build missile countries forever and do the same to Laf then?


Killing pure netters is ok now correct?


That’s fine with me I just want to know what the rules are since they seem to keep changing around here.


Maybe we should just update the rules to whatever LAF decides is best for them that set lol

"Is it normal for moderators to lead kill runs multiple sets in a row?"

Yes(?) But I don't see the relevance of this question. Game moderators don't play the game servers they moderate.

This makes sense. Since the bots were not losing money when buying the bushels, they probably ended up in some loop buying out bushels and tech until there were no more bushels/tech.

I do find it very strange that oil was bought up though. Any theories on that?



No oil was purchased during the glitch. It was a consequence afterwards.

I can't speak for what the admins will do in those situations going forward. All I can say is no non-admin is able to do that under present conditions even if they chose to.

Just a quick FYI: the servers cannot be rolled back.


A few bots bought out two techs and a pile of turrets. Both live players and bots benefited from the sales. This will explain how lots of bushels and oil were purchased as a result. Other bots bought out bushels and some techs and players had to spend on oil. Cash generated from stage 1 of the glitch was close to $100B
