They say, he sends his units and so on and forth.
So if some huge ass guy is hiding in there in order to keep his planets safe, to hide from a certain alliance and so on...that is ok?
Well fine by me. But I do not think perg is meant for that.
game updates (2007) wrote:In short, this is a realm in which the rate of play is dictated by normal turn generation - for each player independently, since one player cannot 'give' resources to another. This should also eliminate the 'blackmail' or 'extortion' since the threat of continual massing is limited to enemy turns available/generated. Plus without the ability to actually give the extortionist resources while in Pergatory, the demands they can make are severely limited.
The above are the only differences at time of release, although the effect on gameplay will be monitored and changes made if required.

I think I fit well within these guidelines. I am not hiding from anything, I have been here since the inception of perg, and my reasons for staying in perg are my own. Now instead of talking about me, how about talking to me, I have you on MSN (and you have me)
I have nothing against you, in fact I do not know you. Your reasons for being in perg are like you have said your own.
However mr. WW I will disagree on the part where you say you "belong" to the perg realm and like I said this is actually not about you, but the entire concept of pergatory, its purpose and so on.
We can talk on msn if you wish, sure why not, but I don't think it is necessary to talk about this suggested change to the game, because as far as I see it. It will not be implemented and that is that.
Again it is not about you mr. WW you were however the reason this entire ordeal even came up and the thought pop out that pergatory can be easily abused.
For example look at this.
SoL gives an example, well if someone can go and hide in pergatory, if someone else wants to they can follow him, so the option of hiding is irrelevant.
This is not true and I wont even have to think about all the options people can use I can just set one single example.
Lets say some big player pisses of someone, things get heated up. Player A wants to steal the planets of player B. Now since player B has 10 trills of defenses on his planets that is a good plan to make some damage, because player A just so happens to have fleets big enough to MASS that planet
Now player B runs to pergatory and player A follows.
Player A has a 60 ATs per 24h limitation. Good look with the massing of those planet defenses
And that really is just one of many options how pergatory CAN be abused just to hide there even if you are a big boy
Do you understand now mr. WW. That this really has nothing to do with you? I mean have you pissed someone off? Would you even have a reason to go and hide in there? As far as I know I dont think so...
However you being there proves in the future practically anyone can go there. And not for the reason to play this game at his own pace. But can simply be to save his ass for the duration of the war, for example.
I would have wished that people would get what this is about. I am pointing at the loophole which can be used and abuse the entire concept of pergatory.
Do I believe you mr. WW abuse it? No... but I also think that you being there points at the problem which could in the future exist.
Well once again. Nothing to worry about. Many people are against it so it will stay, so let us just move on. I will however continue to point out the problems I will see, I just suggest in the future people don't take it to their heart and so personally.
Because did you really think I have the power to change this game? To in this case implement this?
No I can only suggest and than if majority disagrees the update will not happen. And if the people support the idea, than I guess you shouldn't complain at me for pointing out something people agree with anyway.

No comment about your entire post really other than, that it's extremely negative
