Please Start DDay Allready

[lostedchylde]

yes, definatly, but the players should have decided when - specifecally(sic) what time, too many people are working or school at the current end time - 1130am on a weekday?? c'mon. it should at least be ending during off hours - late afternoon,evening, or middle of night. personally it makes no big difference to me, i fell so far behind the aliens i wasn't even in the running to finish high. but there has been this understanding that the players work it out. and in the past e has refused to intervene - stating that dday will happen when enough players want it too. to loosley quote a mail he sent me some rounds ago.Anyways if i'da had the dday button we'd be starting the new round yesterday(sunday)

trapping the players in dday also destroys a whole range of strategy which has been used effectivly in the past to destroy enemies and win wars.

well, there goes another cool aspect.(sorry this post is so long)

There are people maxed so the round should end, its as clear as that 

DDay should happen when either:
20 people join the armada
OR
1 Person Maxes out. This will prevent excruciatingly long games.

Let's not get this twisted... the people that max have chosen their course of action with full understanding of the consequences.

As Losted has indicated, there has been a strategy use in dday research that has been negated by breaking more rules to facilitate one's desires. Seriously, if we were to be trapped in dday (without warning) at least have the decency to allow the hostages of dday to retaliate sans the rules... it's not like it's the only rules being broken. Without allowing dday researchers to escape the constant attacks, even immediate dday would've been a more palatable solution. THINK PEOPLE!

This round has been riddled with rule bending/breaking even to the extent of going against the creator's own intervention standards that he himself set. I'm disgusted in the fact that I actually believed that these irresponsible actions were over... suppose it's just par for the course.

What else do you wanna do?
Not max out and wait other to be higher than you?
You are NOT allowed to attack anyone when you are already able to max, as Wiley was zreoed by kryo's account, where-after Wiley got his ships back from Emi because kryo was able to max.

Sooo.. It's max out, and stay max.
Or: don't max and wait a few days before you max.

What would you do?

Are you really that confused as to the target of my statement?
Maybe you should read the forum in the timeline presented, then you'll understand that it was directed at the "excruciatingly long games" comment. Just because a few commanders exploited an aspect of the game to rush to max, does not justify ending the game for everyone else that didn't have the understanding of the game or that chose not to take advantage of the eploit.
I was merely pointing out that the commanders that rushed to max knew what it meant when they max. I have no sympathy for them being bored because they can't attack anyone else... that was the course they chose.


On that note, I will no longer be posting in this thread as dday is upon us all.
