Asterix decided he needed to attack me for funsies.

So i'm going to teach him why not wearing armour when facing ogre-strength enemies wielding greatswords is not such a great idea.

The tree hugging druids of Marveni will never stand for goblins, orcs, and freaky demon things living under the forest canopy! Go back to the foul wastes from which you came!

Well, you're attacking 'where we came from' so

and we're not freaky, we're hungry

really really hungry

Atlantis, I have reports that you have 2 wild ettins in province 6. You don't have any native nature mages, and your pretender is a kraken like mine, so Im guessing you didn't summon them. So Im assuming you bought them from that bugged site. I realize that the initial game post didn't specify this, but that is widely perceived to be an exploit. I certainly consider it to be.

Personally, I think you should not recruit any more, and try to find a way to suicide the ones you have. But if other people think it's ok, then I guess you could keep them, though I wouldn't be very cool with that.

Exactly. The initial game post didn't specify this. Frankly, I knew it was a bug but I wouldn't consider that an "exploit" anymore than using an alteration site to wish for gems an "exploit".

What do the rest of the players think, however?

What?!?!

The free Ettin's are clearly a mistake caused by a typing error in the CBM mod. Free Ettin's are not intended to be available from magic sites in any way, and comparing them to anything else that is intended to be in the game is simply ridiculous. Regardless of how powerful you think what you are comparing it to might be. Plus the barrier to entry between using an Alt site for Wish and recruiting free Ettins is as wide as the universe itself.

And the fact that you know it's a bug and yet decide to exploit it anyway marks you out as an out and out cheating douchebag in my books.

Edit - You've made the HoF. Congrats! -- http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/...ost&p=22003703

This game has a lot of bugs. For that matter, the RNG itself may be considered a bug, and yet we live with it. So apparently, being hit by a bug that prohibits you from recruiting an underwater commander is OK (which I obviously don't need, but some other nation would have greatly benefited from), but recruiting a thug chassis is *not* OK? Who makes this call? You personally?

I know this is the internet, and I guess it's too much to ask every person not be a frothing imbecile who freely resorts to name-calling and being an obnoxious ******* (yes, I'm looking at *you* and your douchy icon), but I'm hoping the rest of the players will be able to respond to my inquiry much more civilly.

This game didn't specify so what is done is done at this point. Howver if consensus is that they shouldn't be recruitable I would say recruiting should stop. The one game I started I did specify that recruiting 0G Ettin was verboten. So my vote would be no more of em.
Cheers

This really needs a vote?

Come on!

Forbidden.

megawidget · #10 April 14th, 2012, 04:54 AM

Fine, I've stopped recruiting them.

I don't have the means to get rid of the ones I currently have, but I can promise not to do anything with them. They're rather useless where they are anyway, as they're merely sitting on top of my "best site" in a wasteland.
