Then what do you suggest it is?

Those who mass just for ME (or even worse - those who find enjoyment in harassing newbs), should be classed as cowards.

Being someone who is peaceful, defensive, and diplomatic, in their minds, having already lost so much, retaliating will only make them lose more. And in many cases, they will probably be a part of an alliance, with people who are just like themselves, and won't risk endangering their alliance - further decreasing the likely hood of them retaliating.

Destroying those who don't have much time to play/recently joined, will only make them quit. And I wonder why so many of you want things to change.

well said Cabal

can people please stop saying "I used to random mass" and "I was randomly massed", no you didnt, and no you havent. Please use the correct phrase,
"Massings of Wavering Consequence"
All these incorrect phrases are hurting poor 12ag's brain.

Its a MMORPG.
Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

As all the brain dead clot heads say "stargateWARS its in the name"
The URL dont mean diddlysqaut, the game is a MMORPG and the game is what it is.

Just Because you can train soldiers and can attack people, doesnt mean it is a war game, you can also trade with people, thats nothing to do with war, you have a U.P which makes you more UU, well thats basically sex, so does it make SGW a porno? I think not.

You can play SGW however you want, their isnt set rules or guidlines saying you must go about massing people is thier no, if thier was, if the only thing you could do in the game and had to do to be allowed to play was build armies and attack other players. Then that would be a war game, but no you can just make u.p, make income and sit back and grow your account, that aint war my friend, thats economics.

Its a Role Playing game, and you can play which ever role you want, if you choose to play the role of a half wit who goes around mindlessly posting "war game" even though its not, well thats your choice guys, but it is rather annoying as you then use this premise to sanction everything you do, if you could switch from justifiying every action you do, whether that being massing for bad reasons, extortion, scamming, propoganda, whatever. Please switch from "Its a war game" to the correct sentence "Its a Role Playing game" or simply "Im a bad guy, live with it."

Im not saying anyone cant be a memaglomaniac, actually its fun, but please role play as a megalomaniac with some intelligence guys, not "Me 12agnar0k, ME Big, ME SMASH!"

Yes, this is an MMORPG game, but I don't honestly see how you can deny that the emphasis is on war. In my eyes, the "brain dead clots" are the people who continue to preach peace in a game which is clearly orientated toward war in almost every facet. You cite trade and economic aspects of the game, which are fair enough, but the accounts which we so fastidiously build are intended as instruments of war. What are trade and economics if not means to this end? The stats we build; attack, spy and defense, are geared toward this purpose. That's what the creator of this game intended. The emphasis on war is self-evident, given his choice of moniker. This is meant to be a war game.

This brain-dead clot says that an economic/diplomatic MMORPG has as much to do with war as with peace.
After all, all peace is strategic, until sufficient strength is guaranteed to 'make' war with a reasonable rate of success.

Then again.. war can just be a tactical disruption of peace..

True, but the vast majority of diplomacy in this game is also part of the 'war' experience. Most agreements between alliances are based on strategy. Alliances banding together for mutual gain, for example, and the delicate tissue of NAPs which prolonged the server war. As in real wars, propoganda, diplomacy and subterfuge are integral parts of the experience.

Very well put!

Im not saying the game is about peace, its about stargate and the role playing stargate involves, the fact that stargate is a show based around shooting goauld as well as all the new enemies apposed to something like Sex in the city, will ofcourse mean their war elements to the game. But it doesn't make it a "war game" or a justification to keep posting such deluded ideals.

Its a MMORPG, based on stargate, whether you choose to play it as a goauld, making slave armies and conquering the galaxy, or a Nox making peace with everybody.

Are thier war elements yes, but their other elements which deserve just as much merit.

One could argue that the game was created with the primary function / purpose ot make Jason some money. Would this not then make it a "Jasons 3rd House Fund" as a classification as apposed to "War Game"

If it has economic/diplomatic and confilictary parts, if you throw social into the mix, could it not then be classified as "Life of a state"

there is really no single word that will describe the game properly...
it all depends on what one wants to do... if you want to attack indiscriminately, you can... if you dont want to attack, you can... if you want to roleplay (as good, evil, whatever), you can...

Back in the days when my account had stats it was always a pain in the arse to log in to find the account in tatters. last two massings that really mattered were firstly for having 5mill spies trained(courtesy of MLH and lord Coyle) and another just after I rebuilt from that when a nutter decided he wanted to fight our alliance (except he asked our leader not to fight him and just let all the smaller accounts do the work, our leader didnt fight and we made mince out of the guy so that he spent all of 4 hours off PPT before running to perg and when I followed he gave in.)

You loved us for that though

depends on my mood
