It would be cool if the rank modifier disadvantaging high ranking players was dropped for 24 hours after a low ranking player attacks you.

sounds like a relatively good idea, but i can see a lot of ways of abusing it... a lot of alliances and close friends moved up to ascension togehter, you get one of your lower ranked friends to attack you with 1 turn once a day and as a result you can constantly dominate anyone you want...

Dont know about that actualy idea, it's so easy to abuse, a friend could just atk u with nothing so you can attack
altho ...
something has to be done about this modifier, otherwise instead of working up, people will try to work their way down, not good ....

Ok, you both dont get it, or at least the suggestion needs modification if your thinking is right.
If a low ranking person attacks you, you can attack THAT person back without the ranking modifier... not any person in the game you want
Hope that cleared it up for you

oh well, thank you jaxin, that idea is a fine modification, although it's not that we don't get it, if you read the original post, nothing like that is even mentioned, it just says the rank modifier is dropped, ie you can attack anyone...
but yea, your idea is fine and good, except that --- what if low ranked player attacks high ranked player, steals tons of dmu, and high ranked player wants to attack back, but chances are, low ranked player has far fewer planets and not nearly as much to steal... although i guess sab would be possible...
so yea, def a step in the right direction, but not sure if it solves it completely.
edit - ps - sorry if any of that came off as rude or angry or upset or anything, im just tired and its really hot and humid here, not trying to be like that

Ok I think I may end up not liking this idea even though I'm suggesting it.
This is ascension. No rank modifier, period.

lol, sorry that you didn't understand but Jaxin got it. I really didn't think I explained it that badly. ONLY the person who attacked you would have the modifier dropped.

oh wow ok, thats cool i guess, but yea, my response to jaxin kinda summed up my thoughts, chances are low ranked player has much more to gain from attacking high ranked player than the other way around, in terms of dmu

Ah, but you must factor in the revenge factor. Those silly noobs need to be taught their place

revenge is always fun at least, and satisfying

I just don't want to get to a point where any low ranking player can attack up the ranks and do it over and over and be untouchable. You are protected but should you decide to play in the big leagues then you gotta accept the concequences.
