Sabotaging is not working like I thought

Ok I though I would be able to sab someone every turn, but that's not the case. It turns out that I'm limited sabbing to every third turn! Is this a bug or did admin intend on making it impossible to sab everything another player has in a reasonable amount of time???

It has always been like that. I can only assume that he meant it to be as such.

Bullcrap. I've had my entire defense sabbed away from me before.

That isn't true, I used to be able to sab someone continuously, then there was a limit, the when I reached the limit, I could sab them again, every turn.

just for clarification, the way I found this was being off ppt and one other member of epa being off ppt so there was no one else to be sabbing or spying him while I was doing my work.

Sabs have always required 3 covert actions. So, once you have depleted your stash of 50, you would only be able to sab every third turn, when you had built back up 3 covert actions. You could, of course, spy someone every turn since that only requires a single covert action.

Firstly, not always. Secondly, he has the covert capacity, it's the other player, the one he is sabbing that is maxed.

I thought it changed to every other turn when nox was introduced.. And you could do 2 then, but im old and memory fades a bit. You are sure its every 3rd turn now and not every other? and is it just 1 sab then or does it let you do more?

Ok, fair enough. I should have phrased as "Always since I started playing". :) On the second point, I agree. If he has the capacity, he should be able to sab.

Yep, I'm positive, it's every 3rd turn.

My bad. I guess just for as long as I have ever been massing/sabbing people, which started in the faction v. GA war, which would also be after Nox was introduced :P

afaik it has always been every 2-3 turns you can sab someone if they were maxed
i know it cos my mates sabbed someone and when they were off i waited for the next turn so i could punch in another sab

guess what
i couldnt. had to wait i think another hour before i could give him 1 more sab

sabbing is 10/day as i think... so if maxed, that means 1sab/ 4.8 turns i guess... Im not sure tho...

Maybe it has something to do with nox too... maxbe the 10/day is only on nox... But dont think its a bug
