but it is his first violation
except he is not the first to do it, even after ToS was put up, you STILL had people doing it. I suggest lamma be punished exactly what he was asking borg to punished with, no less, for doing THE EXACT SAME THING. along with all the other 3-4 some people who did it, if you want to get technical.
also,
Before taking a decision each case will be looked at separately by the Space Odyssey team.
this means that there is the standard punishment, but the punishment may be more or LESS severe, depending on the conditions. you will go so quickly to ban him for the rest of the round, but what of his teammates? they will be without their leader rest of the round for something they never did.
also:
all i would do is bounty attack them, whenver they were in range,
which would mean more then likely, it could be something like this:
borg's teammate is hit severely, o'd and nebbed. barely gets enough together during neb to put himself back in the standing, 2 hours before neb ends, you bounty him, (which you may or not be actually truced to at the same time, meaning an attack just went right through both a truce AND a neb) taking everything away AGAIN, neb ends, leaving him wide open to all out assault from everyone around. he finally goes into neb again, and what does he have to look forward to? getting blasted the second he is bounty-able again? you try getting anywhere while making sure you cannot be bountied at any one time, for fear of someone coming in and instantly 0'ing you the second you do. I wouldn't even want to play a game like that.
I'm not saying this DID happen, but very easily could have. what I see here is, is that borg should have gave money to someone, like midnight, then told THEM what to do. that is his mistake, not feeding a lower account. feeding a lower account came in where -someone- *cough*lamma*couch, cough* would sit there feeding his lower alt with credits for tinymen, making his alt near unstoppable, to pummel everyone around the lwoer rank, giving them no chance to advance.
I see here, borg trying to PROTECT HIS TEAMMATES THE ONLY WAY HE COULD. given time, I am sure at some point in time E would put in an alliance vault update THAT WOULD HELP DO THE EXACT THING BORG WAS TRYING TO DO.
and another point, while I am on it. lamma, if you bountied them while they in neb, how did you find them in the nebm TO bounty them, and them STILL be hiding in a nebula? and if it was a covert operation, how would he know YOU did it?
E, you need to do some changes to bounty:
1: you can only attack when they are not bountied
2: it leaves no counter
3: succesful bounties will leave them with no name or ID as to WHO did it. unsuccesful bounties will leave who did it, MAYBE a counter.
and yes, this ALL has to do with this topic.
I seriously doubt Borg would have had to resort to this if:
1: alliance vault was up, where he could help rebuild teammates accounts
2: neb protected you from ALL attacks, other then counters, which is your own fault. not MOST attacks, where you may still be damaged in DAMAGE protection.
and to further 'hit the nail on the head'
lamma, if the situation was reversed, and the only choice you had left to help your teammates was to do what borg did, and you only did enough damage to stop the attacks from coming, and someone finds out and insists YOU get all alt's deleted AND main account banned up rest of the round (which, mind you, can be all the way up to several MONTHS) how would YOU feel? you just succefully tried to drive a good player away from his game, because of ONE mistake.
YES, he should be punished, don't get me wrong, but not by going all getout when he had no other choice in good conscience. I mean, he did not SEVERELY break the rules, as you all like to claim, JUST BECAUSE HE WAS BEATING YOU. a SEVERE break of it would have been if he all of a sudden 0'd every person from rank 50-200. but all I hear, is that he simply came up to retaliate where his teammates COULD NOT. because every time they started building back up, you would tear them right back down again. YES, this is a war game, seither, but I would bet some of those people lamma hit where NEBBED at the time, hiding, trying to re-build, and get ready to make their next move, when they get tore down AGAIN.
and quite frankly, reading this thread almost made ME want to quit. one mistake by the current #1, and you all want him banned, deleted, and blocked the rest of his life. YOU GUYS ALMOST MADE ME SICK!
edit:
You may _not_ finance a lower power account with a higher power one in order to do damage to lower people using the higher account resources
don't you mean "You may _not_ finance a lower power
ALT account with a higher power one in order to do damage to lower people using the higher account resources"
otherwise, he would have been at fault, even if he simply gave the creds to someone else and told them to handle it. you were a 'lower person' wiping it his 'lower people' and you are saying he should have simply set back and watched you completely own his entire team.
and another thing, if you did ALL those bounties and attacks, wouldn't that give you a large bounty range, ABOVE all the lower people's range limits? If I am right, that bountying someone halves their bounty, either they purposely raised their bounty, or you lowered your bounty range, there is no other way you could attack THE SAME person 3 times through bounty.
now, if his teammates where before attacking everyone else, making sure they didn't get very far, and you were taking them out, I could see that, but that doesn't look like the case.
It's a war game, get over it
ya, and if a general sees his armies getting slaughtered by the thousands, and he had the power to save them, do you think he would sit back and do nothing?
ok, I already said what I thought about the bounty system, now as far as Borg, he DID break the ToS, even I see that, and no matter the reason, it was done. but after going through all that, the MAX, that should be done is 2-3 week ban to deletion/taking away ability to use alts. as far his main account, his main account as had nothing been done wrong, if anything he just lost all those credits he used.
but to say that going into a vacation mode for a couple days, is severely hindering your account to the point where you are giving up first place, and then say that the only minimal acceptable punishment is banning for at least a month? MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
