so this is a war game and i know it has evolved into different factions. The two main factions, however, are netters and warrers(sp?). I know there is a BIG suicider/frustration problem going on and so this is how I got to this suggestion.

At the creation of your countries, you are prompted/required to check box for netgaining or warring.

If netgain->only 1 PS per 24 hours and 3 SS per 48 hours (no special attacks, ops or anything other than PS/SS)

If warring->only 1 SS per 24 hours and PS per 48 hours + infinite special attacks except ops which are still limited to 25.

Now, this is a MAJOR ROUGHDRAFT. I will leave it to the developers to "balance" the formula/rules so that warring countries do not have an unfair advantage of gaining land because we do not want fat warring countries outdoing netters and then the term netgaining goes out the window from the grabbing restrictions.

This will control self-farming/landtrading and farming for stockpile.

Addition: If restarting, you will not be able to switch from netgaining or warring status.

Fk no...

you must be a suicider :)

I agree with KoHearts. This is a completely horrible idea.

I like to think of myself as a net-gainer and I need my 5 PS per 20 hours please. It really is not that hard to use up all 5 of your PS if you are hitting targets 1/4th-1/3rd your size.

this is similar to those suggestions where netting countries can't be attacked cause they are protected.

a for effort but ........

uhh Why would you limit land grabbing to netters? -_-

so if my whole clan chooses warring and kills a netter, how do they fight back?

or for solo servers if you violate gdi and I AB you to nothing, how do you fight back?

if you choose the box netgain nobody will be able to kill you. the only way to die is through special attacks (gs/br) and nobody will be able to ab you as well. Only ss/ps can be done on you and they are limited as well to prevent farming/landtrading. If people do not like netting with 20k acres maybe they can increase the land explored per turn.

Onemansarmy, you NEED because society(in this case the game) and its terms(ability to compete against other netters) make you believe it is needed. If, however, those terms were changed then people's NEEDS change.

locket, because then I will be a hypocrite. Netters whine about people suiciding/stockhunting on their countries but I know a lot of those same netters have no problem on FARMING others(some are new players).

I will briefly address the question "why not just have them go play on another server?"

Well, while those other servers do serve a limited function, this game has morphed into one about social rings and further splitting them up may hurt the fragile dynamic it currently has.

This would be a truly stupid change.
