A WMD suggestion

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:56:48 -0500

I think I may have an adjustment to the nuke rules that possibly might appeal both to those who like to toss them, and those who hate to receive them.

The five day unprovoked rule was a good idea, but hasn't quite worked out in a way that makes anyone happy. My idea is a simple modification of that rule. Instead of the 5 day restriction applying to the wmd tosser, it would apply to the receiver.
In other words you cannot be unprovoked wmd more than once every five days. The current rules limits those who like to use wmd but really does nothing to protect people against wmd bots. As it stands now you just use more bots and can still DD the same guy every 18 hrs like clockwork so long as you have 5 wmd tossers.
So your guy who likes to toss around some wmd can do so more freely, but he can't grief a player. Which to mind mind was more the intention of the rule to begin with.
(With the short pro rounds though I think a 4 day unprovoked protection would be more reasonable than 5)

What say ye nukebots and nuke haters both?

Incorrect hospital recovery

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:30:55 -0500

I noticed that when I was hit with a WMD where I had more than enough medevacs within 12 miles I had 50% of one type of troop recovered but I didnt even get the basic 30% of another saved. I am well under my hospital cap as well.

Surveys

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:59:46 -0500

If one gives inaccurate information on the surveys, it is possible to get black listed; is it possible to get un-black listed? Is it a permanent ban or does one just have to wait a certain amount of time?

This isn't for me..it's uhhh, it's for a friend

Can't access buildings built on certain tiles

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:03:12 -0500

I have identified land clearing as the reason why some of my buildings are not accessible using the old map. I am forced to use the old map on my lap top for some reason as the other map versions will not work. I've tried all the browsers.

It seems that the land type (i.e. forest, oil, clear) has no impact on the game in terms of where you build things. Yet on the old map I still need to "clear" it before I can construct a building that I can actually access afterwards. Perhaps I am the only one forced to deal with this but I suggest just removing all the land obstructions so that it becomes a non-issue.

This sucks, I demand an investigation, its only cause Goodside does not donate as much at those other cartel, and we didn't bend the rules, and Nate hates us, and I quit, and this is bullshit, and I will not be satisfied until we are declared the winners!!!!!!!!

Signs to look for of OE withdrawl.

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:22:37 -0500

These are the signs you or your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend (who am I kidding most of you are virgins) should be watching for.

Stage 1: Pointless wondering around the house and or apartment due to shock.

Stage 2: Talking non stop about the BM and new base design and finding no one has a clue about what you are rambling on about.

Stage 3: The shakes kick in and you will try and find a substitute for the game which usually leads to sim city which in turn leads to booze because there is no attack button in this game. Which leads to a total mental break down crying in a corner naked.

Stage 4: After drinking that bottle of mouth wash you start posting useless and pointless things on the itch forums hoping this will help ease the pain of no OE.

Stage 5: You remember there is a pro server problem solved WRONG! Pro is half done plus there is no cadet class so you need some skill level to play. You are fucked and back to drinking mouth wash and wimpering in the corner.

Day 2

Stage 6: You are out of mouth wash and realize you must go out into the real world after months in the basement. Remember the sun will burn your pale white skin very fast.

Stage 7: Once done getting your supply of booze you wonder back to your house downing a 6 pack and a micky of your local moomshine and start screaming to anyone that see's you about all the wmd's you recieved last round.

Stage 8: You don't even know your own name anymore so you figure you will tell Nate how to run his game and all the problems that you have found. This ends in disaster due to all the people in the forums making fun of you which leads to another trip to the corner store for more booze.

Day 3

Stage 9: After wakeing up in a pool of your own puke in your neighbors back yard you realize you have a job and decide to see if you are still employed. To your amazement you still have a job because your boss is an OE addict and is also just showing back up to work.

Stage 10: You and your boss spend they day talking about the last round which takes the edge off and you begin to relax and somewhat forget about the game.

Day 4

Stage 11: You and your boss have figured out the perfect combination of cheap vodka and tylenol 3's to make it threw the days without to much pain.

Stage 12: Your lethal cocktail is doing it's job and all you have to do is wait for the start of next round.

WMD Destroy Levels

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:58:03 -0500

Alright so I tossed a nuke, recieved 3 retals. No worries there, was into a nice stack of tanks, chins, and hogs, cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching. Where I am curious however is I thought buildings could only be "destroyed" 2 levels a day. The 3 nukes knocked a couple buildings down to level 6 as the retals were in the same general region. Is it only running an actual "destroy" that limits it to 2 levels a day (which by the way doesnt seem to work either as I tried this and was only able to knock down the building 1 level, on the second attempt destroy was no longer an option. I dont really mind, other than I had ate a nuke a day or two prior and had already used my repair card and was left waiting a whole 2 hours! For my stuff to repair and to get my max pop cap back to reload the lost troops from BM and Hospital. Guess its not a huge deal at the end of the day, just had thought it was 2 levels max that a building can be knocked down, be it by destroys or nukes.

I know, i made that post way longer than it needed to be.

SMOKING HAWT!

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:48:51 -0500

wow, lets recap on the round so far...

SH starts a destroy war with CW, NM and CA. in return they get OWNED by each cartel... so they ask for CF. every cartel grants them. THEN they start hitting again, and instead of learning after the first time, they start a destroy war again with all of the above. so then AGAIN they get owned. then they start recruting NUKE bots, BC they belive all 3 carts are working together against them. and if thats not enought

GML posts this: getting 2 12 man cartels and their wmd bot cartel, monkey business, ganged up against a 10 man cartel with 7 actives. It is a slaughter needless to say.
I will pay outrageous gc prices for anyone to DD and hit these guys. I beg for help with no shame against this lopsided onslaught

MATE! YOU CAUSED THIS SHIT FOR YOUR CARTEL! NOONE PUT A GUN TO UR HEAD AND ASKED U TO RUN DESTROYS! NOW THAT U HAEV BEEN RUN DOWN TO A LIL CORNER THIS IS WHAT YOU DO? YOUGET EVERY SINGEL CARTEL ON PRO TO HELP YOU OUT? I THOUGHT U WERE A GOOD PLAYER?? WHEN INFACT YOU ARE A FUCKING JOKE! YOU AND ACID!

grow a fucking set and LEARN how to take it up the arse when u dish it out you fucking BITCH!

stop crying to the whole server about how u are getting raped, you have caused all of this on ur cartel. fucking homo...

Time to Retire

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:05:51 -0500

It's time for me to say goodbye. It has nothing to do with how the last round ended as I had always planned to make this my last round. I do want to apologize for my contribution to how the latest round ended.

Some of you know me well, others don't. Here's a list of aliases I've used:
Mortis99
RigorMortis
Rig
Rocky
Beer
Bubba

I made some people angry the last few rounds but it's nothing personal, just a game. I had a great time playing this game and it wouldn't have been the same without the crazy OE community.

I also want to thank Nate for this game. Without him, none of us would be playing this game that a lot of us play way too much. Cut Nate some slack, he can't make everyone happy.

Who knows, I might be back one day, this game seems to have a habit of dragging people back, but it won't be for a long time. Have fun everyone and at the end of it all, don't take it too seriously.

Proposals post Merge 5

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:57:21 -0500

So I get that Nate is working on BM Exploits for Round 6. That's a big one.

Davemichael's idea of closing the GC market in the final 48 hours is a great one though I don't know the numbers from Nate's perspective as this relates to the profitability of OE. I don't really wanna push for a bite off my nose to spite my face strategy if fairness makes OE less economically viable and therefore kills the game.

Euclidjr's idea of rethinking wealth as a rank is a great one, but once again "How would this affect itch's bottom line?".

My king for a day changes (meaning all control to me ):

Close GC market for the final 48 hours, or the final 24 hours and end the practice of early quits.

Adjust ranking formulas significantly. This is supposed to be a war game right? Yet it's won and lost not on killing but on scheming and spending.

1. LE score changed from a simple LE formula to 70% LE and 30% troop cap (WMD's not counted). Reward those who actually build for a reason instead of just putting up endless Nuke silos and distro's for rank no where near their base.

2. Wealth score based on hourly income, not building cost.

3. Oil and cash steals should be eliminated or become a small part of military rank. You steal oil to hit and cash to build shit to hit with. That's it. Let's see some 50k stacks baby!

4. Cost has to remain the base scoring factor if we want to continue with merged and WM and diplo have diff build times. Knowing this, the changes in the cost of Marines and Tanks has really messed up the game. Endless waves of FT's hitting 3000 tanks, gets old in a hurry. I'd nerf the FT to an extent (raising their price would be enough to deter many), put the Rines and Tanks back where they were and then widen the effective range of a nuke or pox (in diplo) to 81 miles at 20% for M4's. Make it harder to build a defense that takes 8 people to wipe. Make the game more aggressive and lessen the disposable hitters in favor of actual strategy when wiping someone.

5. I'd also try and figure the diff between build times in WM, Diplo and Cadet. I don't think anything changes in Cadet time wise but I think they do in WM? So if you move from WM to Diplo and have 1000 Hogs that took 10,000 min to train (ex. not sure of actual time diff) then you only have 500 hogs in diplo since they take 20 min to build there.

Also this will be very unpopular but put the building restrictions back to where oil rigs go on oil spots and the rest is open land. Make people more creative and flexible in their base builds again.

Old Overpop vs. Merge 5 Overpop

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:46:43 -0500

People are talking about the 'old overpop' and 'merge 5 overpop', what are they? how are they similar? how are they different?

Old Overpop

A player in your cartel is wiped. He has not started to build troops yet.

You as a player unwiped were able to ship your stack to this wiped player via your huge steal stack of chins.

You as a player unwiped keyed in marines to train in every base up to your pop.

The wiped player shipped your stack back to you.

You waited 8-24 hours to hit with a mega overpop stack. Usually about 8k overpop.

Merge 5 Overpop

Not so so bad initially, You could deploy Card troops to your base essentially tanks and mech and raptors (units that took up more than one pop space either air or ground)

So at most you could be over pop by how many tanks you deployed from your cards.

At outset, the 19k tank stack wasn't that bad but because it was coupled with CF bug for most of the round it is grey.

But when the BM comes into play and a player can purchase at the touch of a button 32k mech (32k overpop) and attack, then do it again.

================

So in conclusion the old overpop required teamwork and some wit (saw a few stacks die while people attempted to overpop, or the temporary destination player didnt realize he wasnt able to ship the stack back for 4 hours). Smashed out of the game by the hand of Nate (god)

The new overpop is an abuse of the system that seems to be intriguing to very few players (1 person in particular). Yes nate may have said overpop will be fixed and the current system may be used, but it is my belief he meant it in regards to card troops and not 32k mech stacks (something which no one could build in one base). Nate imposed the craziest hand of Nate (god) decision as a result of the outcome.

Flame away....

GC Market vs. Black Market

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:59:31 -0500

Why is it not okay to BM troops to artificially inflate one's overall military power? (This is generally frowned upon by the 'good' players)

BUT it is okay to use the GC Market to artificially inflate one's wealth? (this is smiled upon by the 'good' players)

Increase Defensive Points for WMDs

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:27:42 -0500

The defensive points earned from a WMD attack compared to potential units and rebuilding costs losses are absurd! You can lose billions to a nuke attack and only gain the TT for that unit. Now I agree the points for killing someones WMD offensively should stay the same but on defense you should get points equal to or a percentage of your defending losses. This is just my suggestion....let the great minds of OE debate its merit.

Faster BUILD TIMES ofr Defense IF NO bm!

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:14:22 -0500

iF THE bm is all for the purpose of Defense!

Then simply just Put faster build times on all Defensive units!
This is for All of merge of course!

I think this would get rid of all the whining!
Units to be .5 minutes would be,
Dogs,
Rebels,
Spies,

After this put 1 minute build times for,
Militia,
CE,
and flaks....flaks dont move ! We need more flaks back in action. SC's killed off the flaks!

As far as Air Goes, F-22 should be the only thing faster building, Most people dont use f-22 in combat anyways, they use way to much Fuel!
Make sure all Definsive units Fuel Usage Is way up HIGH so people dont purposly build them for Offense!

I personaly Still hate flame throwers, since when did we send flame throwers in the front line since bunkers of ww2? Get rid of Flame throwers, and lets make this a High Powered Defense of game. Its time to put some thought into throwing our stacks!

NO CF

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:55:13 -0500

I think it would be very interesting, with evryone moaning about CF BM and stuff like that how about we play one round without CF. And if it fails badly we go back to the other rules simple. I think it would be a very interseting experience and would make the game insane. Also we could have no bunkers for a round as well but that could be going too crazy.

Current Bug - Bunkered WMDs

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:18:52 -0500

So from what we could gather, if you had bunkered

3 Ebola
3 Anthrax
3 Small Pox

on the spy report

1 Ebola
1 Anthrax
1 Small Pox

appeared, though only 1 of each should be bunkered and 2 of each should be spyable

so you would attack once and kill

1 Ebola
1 Anthrax
1 Small Pox

and then you would attack the same base again and kill

1 Ebola
1 Anthrax
1 Small Pox

and then you would spy and see nothing left to kill.

Does anyone else have any experience with this bug? Monty was the one who pointed it out and without knowing this would never have check the same base 3 times to kill all the unbunkerable WMDs.

Current Bug - Attacks Overpop

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:12:32 -0500

I heard of ridiculous amounts of attacks overpop last night.

One gent had 2760 attacks saved up by using their vengeance card all round to stockpile attacks.

Put the attack limit in concrete @ 120 max (or 80 or 60 respectively for other tiers).

If you have 104 attacks and click level 1 vengeance (or more lovingly known as the rambo card) you should only have 120 attacks.

A previously stated bug that was to be addressed but has not been.

Current Bug - Hospital Overpop

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:09:37 -0500

Im pretty sure it hasn't been fixed but have no positive proof:\

You can still overpop your hospital with Flamethrowers.

1 flamethrower = 2 ground pop

1 flamethrower takes up 1 hospital bed.

Essentially you could have 10 000 (= 20 000 ground pop) flame throwers in your hospital and deploy to one base.

Being that they are flame throwers and are in an intensive care unit for 3rd degree burns, i propose they need two beds similar to their ground pop usage.

Just a thought...

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:45:43 -0500

What if, because of all the bitching and whining, Nate said fuck it... it's not worth the headache... and ended all OE... how bad would the withdrawl be? I know I'd jones pretty hard. I bet most of you would too

See ... it is like crack

The BM

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:53:04 -0500

It's quite simple, really. And by the by.....

Do people think we should just get slightly beefed up cards like rebs/rangers to compensate for the ANNIHILATION of the BM. (would be a good thing)

ending round early?

MERGED 5 - MY THOUGHTS

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:11:48 -0500

I don�t post very often. However after a couple of days I felt I needed to reply to some of the comments that have been made about Inglourious Basterds. Unfortunately every thread started on the subject changes direction � mainly of course due to our passion for the game. I am going to provide a summary of answers for you which I hope will clarify IB actions this round & what I think about items raised.

Personnel

It has been stated that we run with the same crew each round. This is not true. In Merged 4 we started off with Chags & Co but 12 of us did a midnight flit due to the inactivity of the rest of the cartel � no criticism, just we wanted more. We started up Stand & Deliver with 12 members which became 15. Team Cheney had the same situation. Half the cartel was inactive or playing pro so we decided to get together.
The only players who started Merged 5 who were in Merged 4 with me were:
Monty, Jssamp, Purplehaze, Avalanche, FarkingSmurf, Katsip, Wingman, Napalm, Exes, Ted, Crazy2068 & maybe Iceman331 ( I am not sure about his alias from last round)
_Doc & Ken255 joined IB two weeks before the end from Blazing Saddles.
So effectively we started the round with 11/12 players out of the 30 who finished the previous round. I hope that clarifies the allegation that we run with the same team.

Cartel Lock

Maddyn99 had been DDed twice at this point. I think the first was by the Dementors (BaseUK2) & the second by COE. Both times he woke up & read that I had posted we had a NAP with the offending cartels. By the second time he was a little discontent (massive understatement). He did not reply to pms & simply left the cartel. How did he do that? Cartels are supposed to locked. Anyway he revenged his nuke (with Ralph Wiggam, I believe) & that was that. I woke the next morning & he was back in the Cartel. The lock was clearly not working either way. Voltermort can confirm that as he had 5 players join him in the last 7 days. Other cartels raised hell making allegations of cheating etc but the fact is Maddyn99 should not have been able to leave IB. I have no doubt he would have avenged his nuke so I would have had a breach of NAP to deal with, but I will lead onto that shortly. Nate decided to revert all cartels back to how they were at the start of the 7 day period. Very correct in my book as Maddyn99 should never have been able to leave & the issues with the NAP would have been dealt with internally. Obviously Dementors lost 5 players who they picked up in the last 7 days. Those players should not have been able to join so there can be no loss.

Destroys

Those who play against us regularly know very well we have a cartel policy of responding to incoming Nukes with dirtnaps. This is mainly because we play the game mainly with conventional troops & don�t WMD very often. We soon discovered that the �nukers� in cartels were hiding behind a 30K troop defence. So we took the view that if a player is a member of a team (cartel) & he could be attacked - he would take the destroys for the offender. This is intended as a deterrent. If your cartel does not want destroys - don�t nuke us.

NAPs

We had several during the round.
We had two NAPS with Dementors which they breached. Immediately after the second one Voltermort threatened that if we didn�t give him a CF they would hit us. I put him on ignore & dealt with Lordpan after that � he made a lot more sense.

We had a NAP with COE which was broken on 4 occasions. None of the nukes were responded to by us as we honoured the NAP we had. Ressurected maintained that he had little or no control of his players, the main offenders being Oohland & Only Girl. I was extremely surprised as I had been led to believe Resurrected controlled all things Omega. Maybe I should have been dealing with someone who had the players respect & controlled the cartel. In fact Oohland was being that honest he was sharing an attack room called #IBdeath with A Company from the start of the round, apparently against Resurrected�s wishes.

Final 48hrs

From a personal point of view I knew that I would be hit by A Company � they always hit me at the start of the final 48......yawn. I was hit by A Company, A Company 2nd Team, Dementors & COE & Reborn. After doing what I could, I was wiped & nearly 350 destroys were carried out on my base. I never whined. I took it on the chin & started repairs. I woke 6 hrs later at my 3am & Choover was still running destroys on my refineries � LOL. Anyway, When I got up the next morning & I saw what had happened with the tank stack & massive stacks of BMed MI. I had a chat with my UBs. It was agreed we would regroup as we could & if our wealth could be reinstated we may still have a chance (we had significant leads in LE, Cash & Oil stolen). Throughout the final two weeks we had been buying GCs to keep our palace cash as low as possible so that we would not be an obvious target. It was always our intention to re-use the GCs to help our wealth at the end. It was just a simple tactic � nothing to do with making hefty donations (I do donate � but my wife pays for it. Those of you who have wives who hate OE will know what that must be like). I trust that clarifies the GC allegation raised.

Maddyn99, DOR84 & FarkingSmurf

I have played OE with these guys for many months. They among the most honest & trustworthy players I have met in the game & I feel I have met quite a few & made a lot of friends. There are also those players who are not quite so honest, disregard cartel arrangements & just do their own thing. Those players in my opinion should play solo because they are not team players (unless of course that is how their cartel runs!)
What I have read in the forums in the last 24hrs I have found very concerning. This is a game. Some of the comments made are disgraceful. Without Forum Modulators where would we be? Someone has to oversee the Forums & from what I see it is a thankless task. All 3 players I mentioned are exceptional OE players. There is no favouritism. They just work hard. If many of the players who have made unjust allegations & comments about Forum Modulators worked as hard in the game instead of the forums maybe they would rank more highly.

BM troops

Excessive use of the BM has become a feature of this game for the last 2 rounds. Badbadbad was king of BM redeploys last round but it has become more & more common. Its use has now been extended to offence. Only a few hours ago one of my team was wiped by spies! Over 144k of them. Nice 300c.

I believe there were 8 hits like this before any spies went home http://up.mibbit.com/up/b6SgyNzC.png

This is the First hit that any survived http://up.mibbit.com/up/pxDkxPNO.png

I suggest doing away with the BM entirely. Just have cards that have functions but no troops/units. There can be no abuse that way.

The Final Result

Resurrected, Bigitter & I received a pm from Nate explaining what he had done. I expressed my surprise but thanked him for his decision. I congratulated Resurrected & Bigitter on the round.

Up to that point I honestly believed we still had a chance of the win if we could get our wealth high enough. I am sorry some players feel aggrieved by the final result but it is something we have to live with. Personally I would have preferred to lose to a better team. However I believe without the overpop freaky stacks & massive BM MI stack & the endless supply of BM spies there is not one.

Inglourious Basterds played with determination & honour throughout this round. I am proud to have been asked to be their Boss.

I doubt I will be returning to merged. I have had a lot of fun & made many friends & thanks to OE for that.

haven't you people, like me, now gotten over the whole merged SHITSTORM????

Just STFU and move on lol

PS: IB rules - rankings prove it heehee

Will you be back next round?

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:49:35 -0500

I for one will be back next round. I'm a manager in my RL job and i for one know that you can never please every one. I may not agree with Nate 100% of the time but all well.... THIS IS HIS GAME. He designed it and people liked it. So let him do his job. Yes he made a mistake this round with the pop cap thing. but come one guys this is a game to have fun and a lot of people just rune it by bitching and moaning all the time. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

EDIT: ok i messed this up kinda... Should have worded it different and not made it a yes or no question.

Basicly
the top one says... I'll be back..
the bottom one says... im done with OE

Who do you think REALLY won?

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:11:12 -0500

im so going to get shot for this but i would like to know what the people think. now i must state that i dont agree nor disagree with nates decision, he did what he wanted and thats fine. this poll is more for entertainment then to prove any point.

fyi, i added goodside as a joke, you wernt supposed to vote for it!

Wow lol

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:11:09 -0500

I don't think I've ever seen the forums this livid and lively.

I am retiring from OE

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:09:29 -0500

Let the shit storm of replies begin!!!

Congrats to COE

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:04:44 -0500

Just stirring the pot

Going off and complaining about over pop when its used against them. But there was nothing last round from anybody last round, when I threw an overpop tank stack while on their side.

And you guys were all saying how COE and A-comp were only complaining because they were losing. I guess it only works differently depending on who is talking.

everyone else is doing it

[cartel name here] are a bunch of pricks that do not deserve there rank as they spent the entire round vulturing off of little players and teams that could not fight back.so to you go fuck yourselves. this here bs ties in with the rest of the problems it would seem.

and the bottem line is none of this is on nate its on the players and there inability to put some real life values in a make belive world, have some respect for others and thier opinions, that did exsist in oe till all the assholes become bigger so once again go fuckyerselves yall inconsiderate pricks. NATE works damn hard to keep this game up,now do something from your half, there is basic values to life and that bs "it aint on the tos" should not count towards values such as ,respect,honor integrity.
