Omg can I not retire in peace?
I'd say my ears are ringing but man reading through this (and seeing some of the people willing to get on here to FINALLY post).. it certainly makes something ring.
Full assessment of the issue:
Restarting to get a player on wonders
IS a low move.. it is against what this game
USED to stand for. But come on people.. glass houses.. This is not against the rules. It is not botting or a bug. That doesnt make it right, but people shouldnt be "punished" The rules need to be changed just like the VM aspect. The issue really is the fact that the player received Beginners Protection for restarting. Morale is not the issue. You all chose to be in a world that had morale active. You did this knowingly. So to cry because it is used in the end game is a moot point. What the the group should have done instead of restarting was have the player hand off all their cities and then take just the wonders. No BP, and low morale strategy put to use. It takes longer sure but the desired result is achieved. That shouldnt be removed when the world has morale active.But change the rules and institute them after the fact.. dont just make the players reverse what was done as a way to cover up a new strategy.. thats poor modding and not really obtaining a true solution.
Now to address everyone on here crying over a strategy being used because it affects them directly. Get over it. This game went off a ledge a long time ago. Everyone in here has benefited from at least one of what can be considered "low moves". Did you not all read my lovely goodbye message.
If you have ever done one of the following, you have absolutely NO standing to complain:
- Multi-accounting
- Botting
- Using the Mods as a weapon (i.e. reporting a player who has not really violated the rules in hopes that by spamming the mods you will get him banned so you can attack)
- Teaming up with 80% of the world in order to win
- Rotating alliances so that mass groups can all get a crown
These are all downfalls of this game.
And as a final thought.. everyone here complaining about players restarting and using low morale... Please Refresh my memory.. didnt you use that exact strategy to initially get set up near Koopa wonders like 6 months ago? Forget the fact that it may or may not have been a second account.. but you place a low morale player in 74, they would found, take ghosts, or even inactives.. grow them, and then hand them off to bigger players once secure. On occasion those cities also had BP on them.. Where is the difference?
Oh thats right.. the only difference is that you were doing it then so its ok.. Oh.. that
AND we werent petty and didnt report you for it...
So get over it.. Baris needs to close anyway.. but dont act like you earned anything. The debate over Victor vs. Crown is as old as the wonder stage and is off topic to this thread.. You always want to debate on the side that effects you. Only 1 alliance can get victor.. and an unlimited amount of players can get a crown. There is no debating that.
Thats why we cant get along or have nice things.. Everyone in here needs to look in the mirror.. being honest with yourself isnt really that hard..
Love,
Oli
