1% 'bye bye' uu thing

[ARC_trooper]

Each time we do a trade, 1% walks off (damn traitors!)

but where to they walk to?

Do they walk to the market to become lifers perhaps? (if not, theres a suggestion )

or perhaps they walk into a different realm, to help the fight inthere!

So yea, if theres not already something happening with those 1%.. my suggestion would be:

The 1% walks away from your Realm into another Realm, picked at random. ofcourse that account has to be active (dunno if its possible to filter the inactive people out, if not.. put it in a broker, if its not accepted they move to another realm. (these arent traitors, they are scum! no loyalty!))

Can also set a limit, like everyone under the 10 mil gains something.. everyone above it is too big to walk into

Anyway, Discuss

Ps: I really have no idea what happens with the 1% atm, but if they are just 'dissapearing' i thought this would be a cool idea. since it would help the little ones!
I also have no idea if this has been suggested before.. couldnt find it...

The 1% is a way to control endless UU swapping between accounts with no draw backs. Just like lifers, its just a drawback. Besides, where you think all those mercs come from? (no I'm not saying thats where mercs come from.)

Whichever way, just don't put brokers in for them, please! There's a lot of UU trading going on, and to have random brokers for i.e. 30k UU would be a pain. Also, a broker involves a trade, which has a 1% loss, which complication makes my head spin...

I suspect the best would be for admin to put on his writing cap and simply tell us where they go. After all, they have been wandering whereever for quite some time now. Maybe they all die in the confusion of moving millions of ppl from one realm to the other? Good question, though.

The 1% losses is a planned drawback. Its here to stay. It was put in place many moons ago because people figured out 2 exploits or tactics.

1. Entire Alliances sends UU to the 1 guy on PPT who distributes the naq, the PPTer rotateas as well as the UU so everyone has full income and no one gets farmed.

2. Entire alliance sends all UU to one person who beefs there strike, masses another alliance, beefs their covert to sabb them, and the beefs their AC to AC them. then they pass the UU from player to player to sabb and AC with, or even better use an outside merc so no retaliation can be made.

Thats why the 1% is there and why it will stay.

The UU go into limbo, removed from the game.

aww shucks... I'm the limbo empire!

have to agree with lore. mercs replenish at same rate regardless of amounts of UU being traded and traitor scum deserting. the traitor scum just disappear, never to be seen again.

Yeah the 1% has to stay as Lore says to stop unlimited transactions without draw backs, when it first came out , everyone was doing the PPT trickl, and then we had to switch to just sending naq to a guy on ppt as a bonus for them, every 1 getting 1 alliance infused ppt every 3 months or something.

But yeah if admin wanted to spedn 5 minutes making a needles update he could put in a little viraty, 1% got trampled in the migration , 1% decided they didnt like you, 1% slipped into a parrallel dimension 1% got eaten by a lion - i suggest this one to be ultra rare, e.t.c e.t.c the list could go on, pointless, but if he has 10 minutes

@Lore - I don't mind the 1% trade loss. It's been there since before I started playing, so I'm quite used to it. What I'm trying to say is that if they want to broker those losses to some random small guy, that new broker will also have a 1% loss, which will have to be brokered to another random small guy, with another 1% loss, which will have to be ...

I suspect that each broker will then create a ripple effect.

As for where the losses go - the only thing I can see to be done is for Admin to do some roleplaying (hence the writing cap ref) and think of some interesting explanation. I don't think they should go to anyone - imagine having your defence massed down because you received a random mil uu during the night.

I like 12agnar0k's idea: a randomized list could be interesting. Here are my own additions to the list:
1% got scared, and are now sweeping floors in the superstore
1% died from jetlag
1% got seasick
1% decided that war is against their ethical considerations, and are now hippies
1% couldn't navigate (they might arrive in a few years, but probably won't)
1% turned got war crazed, and started shooting each other
1% was hanged by you because they insulted your mother

[none-delete-me]

what should happen is 1 account (like an AI) is a "pirate" and all they do is go around growing and growing.... every 1% loss goes to this "pirate"...

and the admin would implement an AI to run the account.. so basically the uu that "goes rogue" actually do go rogue, and join this pirate account. (obviously they would become mercs of that said AI's account so therefore cannot be raided at any time) and seeing as this account would be an ai, it would never have any naq on hand... due to spending it and or putting it in its banks and so on (always online... ) all it would do is basicly show you the amount of uu totally that have deserted and such (if you can see them cuz they have special spy mercs...) the account cannont be sabb'ed or raided and so on... (ideas that can be thought about...)

or better yet, an option within the market... where you can "hire" this AI account (and lets say for arguments sake, costs depend on your own personal accounts total size) to raid/farm or just a massing thing... (obviously with no military training this would effectivly be a massively weaker version of a mass of your own)

not to mention again for arguements sake, that after a certain size or time, there could be more than 1 AI account.

** also to make things interesting you make it so that people ingame cant tell just by reading the rankings page, they actually would have to find them via stumbling across their id page... or somfin**

meh just the old idea box's gears moving around...


****


on other note a possible answer to the "Where do they go" question would be.... new players... when they start an account? they had to get those units from somewhere?

[Lore]

Sorry mate but that idea would cause a massive uproar, and is so full of exploits that its insane. I'd have to say NO.
