Purgatory Realm Escape

[Boober]

Well, I was in a bit of a conflict with a guy who took one of my officers planets, ditched it, and then escaped to the Wussy....er...Purgatory Realm before facing the Piper. What he doesn't realize is...I have his id....I will wait.

I do appreciate all the hard work that the Admin does, but this is only going to cause a lot of annoyances in the end and people being dishonorable by running there instead of facing the consequences for their actions. Admin, you have a great game.......if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Not sure where this goes directly, but I put it in general chat. I'm sure this is but the first of many times something like this will happen.

One could argue it is a valid tactic... after all, it is basically applying game mechanics to avoid wanton doom...


Anyone remember Pong? Of course you do... I hope. If not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PONG
Right. In Pong, you have 2 bats and a ball that bounces between them.
Now, the creator of Pong creates "Pong 1.1" with the special "Wall" update. This "wall" update includes a key combination that 'invokes' a wall to appear in front of your bat, effectively making sure that everytime the ball gets in your direction it gets bounced back.

I ask you now, if you were a regular Pong player, would you use the, perfectly legit, Wall feature?
If you were a player who appreciates every possibility he gets to play the game to its full extent, would you use the perfectly legit, Wall feature?


Besides... if you're *really* that vendetta-ish, why not follow him in? I'm sure Admin would appreciate seeing the first intrapurgatorial combat.


Just to make it even simpler... if we're throwing a ball between you and me, and I say "You can also use a bat!"... wouldn't you? If only just to shut me up? This post is waay too long already.

For allainces they will now depend on the smaller players to stay in their maybe and build turns for if enemy's go in their so they can be massed on both realms

so currently if i have a planet stolen, I get 12 hours to get it back (even if player is on PPT) does this mean by running to purgatory he's protected?

INTERESTING question

[Mukasa]

hmm..admin should make a "rule" of 24 hour non-attacking. like if u wanna go to P. realm you would have to cease all attacks 24 hours before going into P.

[Labraid]

I thought there was the 24 hour rule for pergatory....

Insert a minor disclaimer (or shall we say 'tick box') that indicates to the game that the aggressor will 'escape' to purgatory having stolen your planet.

Yes/No [] <--- that is a box yes.

Please tick.



You see, marvelous idea isn't it.

In my opinion, there are a lot of things to fix. Once i test it out, i'll give more info, but for now you have to fix the fact that we can't attack anyone. Second, it is a wussy realm, because you can attack and go there. Third, people can build up their armies with little fear of attack and then come out and massacre everyone anyway. Fourth, it makes it kinda like chaos gate wars, which is 2 confusing. One realm is enough. Fifth, everyone should get a free up bonus of 1k because I love the admin.

While you're at it, don't forget to add the tickbox for 'are you a n00b'.

[Boober]

Well, the player has to come out sometime and I'll be waiting. As far as the Purgatory Realm goes....whatever. I don't like it but it's not my game and I won't go there. I just think it should be like vacation mode...can't attack anyone for two days before going in.

[Lord_Zeus]

I'm not sure a 24 hour attack limit is a good idea... if you really hate them that much follow them imo.

[grimgor]

yeah but if you fellow them you loss all your AT turns and cant buy any

they got to stay there for 5day and in that time you can only get 720 AT

this going to make it harder for no alliance player


so much for a WAR game

I'm not sure about no-attacking... But perhaps no planet-theft, because that's more annoying and people want to get them back... Not like 1k units, or a few hundred mill naq.
