My Plee to Admin

THIS IS HERE BECAUSE IT IS A PLEE AS WELL AS A SUGGESTION SO MODS (ESP WOLF) PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME :)

Ok guys, I had to have a big long think about this well it was actually tlaking to other players, anyway here is my newest idea for the game..

BRING BACK MINER RAIDING

Now before people go Jamie there never was miner raiding well techinally that is true.. However there was always UU raiding and before the miner update your UU was the only way to bring in naq income..

People will be very annoyed by my suggestion but lets face it

1. The game has gotten to be stat build for 2 months, war, stat build again, War, Stat Build Again... Repetitive = boring. Boring = people get bored people stop playing people leave the game.. and thats no fun

2. When you mass someone with say 10 million Miners they can just be back to where they were after a single PPT.. Which is like no fun.. Whats the point in massing someone if they come back just as strong in 3 days.. All you can do is keep massing them untill they run out of miners to untrain.. Which is fun in its own but some people are smart and just dont bother rebuilding for a long time.. You get bored with them and yeah.. (Omega members shall feel my pain here)

No too sure on numbers here but from my best guess 40+ people have quit the game in the last month alone

So what I would love to see is the ability to raid miners but make it harder then raiding UU or something..

What does everyone else think

(Jamie can forsee people going NOOOOOO why would you even say that?? My 20 million miners are the only reason I play this game etc etc etc.... )

All I want to do is make the game more exciting.. Imagine if someone robbed all of the GA miners think of the massing that would ensue.. There would be a war everyday which would make the game fun again..

So please dont shoot me just either post what you think about it and vote ye or ne

Terrible idea, game would be even less fun. You could have months of work taken away in minutes.

Silly :P

Im saying no way, people who have tons of miners will be so mad if u stole any.

I'm sure if anyone stole miners massing will happen all over and people will quit. The problem with income was stoppen when the UU wasn't primal source of income and miners came so taking miners will like being back at the start.

I say no. There is one server where you can raid 'miners' - ascension. You want it, play ascension, mate. :)

wonderful so when someone like repijake gets bored he can completely ruin someones account never giving them a chance ever to get back to where they were

this is the worst idea i have ever seen

yes there was uu raiding when uu was the only income

for about a day until the mistake was realiazed

~moved~ to suggestions section...
And a reminder... NO flaming.
A little smoke is fine, but I don't want to see any fire.

Without flaming, this is by FAR the stupidiest suggestion in the history of the game, and probably until the end of the game, and also any other games forum makes.

Within a day, the game would be ruined.

yep every player within the top 1000 probably more would have 100mil in no time

At least he comes up with ideas, rather than just saying 'I want more turns' - okay - it isn't perfect, but at least he is trying to come up with something that relieves the monotony that so many players are now experiencing - and why so many players are now leaving.

Now I am not keen on the suggestion myself - but if you looked at it a second it doesn't mean that accounts would be wiped clean of miners overnight. There could be limits set on how much a player can raid and lose miners. people could build up their defences so it doesn't happen. Things could be introduced to stop people dropping rank to raid.

Like I said - I don't really like the idea - but I am glad somebody is coming up with new ideas rather than just saying 'More turns, more turns' like a bunch of impatient school kids in a sweet shop!

If those who do so much whining for turns and over-the-top criticising of other peoples ideas put as much effort into coming up with other/counter-suggestions, we'd all be much happier.

LOCKED (will only re-open on Jamie's request).

Jamie has asked me to add that he did not say anything about LIFERS being raided - just regular miners.

With that in mind I will re-open the thread, but will not hesitate to close it if I see any more blatant flaming/disrespect towards people, because frankly there is too much of it in the forum at the moment!

very well i will try my hardest not to get angry

raiding miners see this is way to easy to abuse any player could just make their rank lower then when massing someones account completely new players for nothing(it does happen)

this would maen they could be completely destroyed because remember lifers cant be trained so they wont be able to to builn up a defence or anything they would be defenceless to their attacker once they lose their miners and uu

well i dont think the idea is COMPLETELY without merit and some thought to it could be applied...

you could only raid someones miners - not there lifers....raiding miners rather than UU in the open should take a X(something) to the amount of turns required...therefore making it expensive and not to be done willy nilly whenever someone likes....

peeps can avoid this by planning ahead on what def/strike to supers they want and can always retrain all the remaining UU into lifers if they wish making it a little more strategic....dont forget the idea of max profit on raiding always depends on defense so the X factor to turns on someone with a decent defense would prob be a complete waste of resources...

dont forget if someone targets them and drains a load of miners....they can raid them back from dead accounts etc at a fraction of the cost in turns the perpetrator used in the first place...

a max amount of times you can raid someone in a week for miners could be placed in as well....

it also encourages more UP growth...cos lets face it UP is not cost effective when you can just raid dead accounts for millions of UU....

please bear in mind im not supporting this idea....just bringing some discussion into it with some ideas rather than just say 'thats crap'

thx for reading

yes up is effective or maybe you didnt notice the 75mil limit on raiding

your missing the point this will make massing someone to hell to easy not letting them be albe to come back

i guarentee you if this is implimented this game will lose thousands
