Neutral Ground - an Open Discussion Thread

Happened to me. Can confirm.

I'm sure Xormangandr can too.

I can still read...

Impostor!

I just need a translator ;__;

Didn't you technically start out as an independent? Were you ever purely a defender? You may have only been suffering from an illusion of being able to read.

Nobody ever said independents can or can't read, Benevolent Thomas.

[Kolmias]

How is everyone today? You may not know me, but my name is Kolmias. I am a former DEN Private First Class, an LKE citizen and a citizen of the West Pacific.

Pleased to meet you all!

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Can I read?

[Benevolent Aurors]

Can I read?

Judging by your writings for the "Complete Guide to Military Gameplay", you can not.

Nobody ever said independents can or can't read, Benevolent Thomas.

The sample size of true independents has always been too small to properly examine.

I never asked if I could write (or had time to ).

Your excuses are weak, young padawan.

/me murders a bunch of newbs

Obiwhine Can't-own-me and Yoda-fenda, pfft.

[New Rogernomics]

Only fendas read.

What if a fenda goes raider?

The better way is to never call yourself a fenda or a raider, and slowly generate a reputation of being one way or the other.

Then you maintain the ability to read. I think...

Can confirm, as someone who used to do both ans now I occasionally leap back in as one or the other. I can read.

[Stalker Queen]

If you can't read, but you can write, then you're drawing!

And that's why the Dark Side has some of the best artists.

Good morning neutral ground!

Today's Breaking news - Delegates lose the seat immediately upon resigning. Surprise!

Also, I can predict the future. I can see....a great many things....threads terribly long....another 1000 TET's....and....the next massive GP post-tornado of hell in Technical! AHHH! The power is to strong, I must rest now

Papa Souls needs some Jet. Slow down time enough to tag before resigning now

Remember, everything favors raiders. I'm sure this somehow give raiders even more power and probably will make it more common.

Uh...

Somehow...

Makes it harder for defenders to ever clean up the existing tagged regions.

I doubt it will have much impact at all. RO appointments mean that both factions can still race through update with little pause. Not sure what the fuss is really.

Because, of course, people still want to delay those RO appointments

In fact, it's already come up again. That was one of the RO "fixes" that actually had grudging "alrights" from some of the R side before now, but now that would remove the loophole created and force the process of organized tagging to be entirely reinvented.

I love my raiding like i love my laws. With a loophole i can utilize for my own gain

I like that loophole as its effectively nullify everything relevant what I suppose was reasons behind removal-of-delegate-by-resignation implementation, giving more options and flexibility for updaters.

But exactly because it clearly is loophole, thus going to be blocked sooner or later, we've concentrated in the Mercs for training trying do things not utilizing it. Contrary to your opinion, used RO assisted 'team tagging' method secures best those 'own gains', as freeloaders, and solos won't get points in the future anymore, putting the gains of whole team ahead them. That's damn good thing. Tagging has never been that fun then during few last updates when made as collective team effort.

That's why I cry against delays in RO authorization. Loophole can go first, if I had to choose.

Wait, i'm not sure i understand your point. You discourage Cimmerians from using the loophole, but cry against nullifying it?

[Cora II]

Delay in RO authorization would cut team play aspect (team tags made by ROs authorized by WAD) out from prospects. I see that bad thing.

Removing loophole that makes recent change of mechanics almost meaningless (few secs delay per hit) should be blocked in way it won't ruin the use of ROs from taggers/detaggers. My solution suggestion for that here: viewtopic.php?p=26779918#p26779918

Current situation seems to me interrim phase of the game's development. Loophole can be used meanwhile, but its not all about quantity of hits, its also about quality of R/D.
