Re: OT: Cyber Nation
I'm curious as to what this "rogue" exactly references. If you mean I selected and attacked my targets as everyone else in the game does fine. If I didn't wait for someone on high to give me permission to use the restroom, then again you're right.
I joined the Wombat Protectorate because it was the SE forum getting together in another format. It appears many of you got greedy and weren't satisfied with that and joined other teams. I looked at the alliance as a friendly competition among internet aquaintances. Some of you obviously took it far more seriously.
You mention honor as if I had any idea about this silly GW3. Again you somehow think EVERYONE was supposed to know about it.
Did I attack an alliance? Yes
Realisticly was there anyway for me to know it's reputation short of camping on the Cybernations forums? No
Cybernations was something I did for about 10 mins a day to have fun and get a little satisfaction in creating something. Something I created on my own without any handouts or alliance support or aid or any nonsense of the sort.
I have no problem that I attacked a nation and they had a buddy come beat me down. The fact that 3 of them who all were far greater strength then me is kinda just sad. It's about as awesome as the griefers on MMO's killing people 20+ lvls lower than them. As for getting crushed like a man, again if I were being crushed by ONE stronger guy then yeah fine I made a mistake. 3 is "LOOK AT US WE'RE SUPER COOL, YOU"RE NOT WE'RE 1337 YOU WISH YOU WERE COOL LIKE US" Especially when I gave away what I had to a friend and they still attack me when it accomplishes NOTHING.
I honestly take issue with a game that has mechanics such that the stronger you get the more you can beat on the little guy. THe range of 200% to 50% makes sense from a game mechanic perspective, but not much from a balance perspective.
As for "the Admin allows it so it must be ok" There's a difference between allowing it and endorsing it. There's also the realization that you can't ban everything and people will find the loophole regardless.
