Druzhina attacking in christmas eve , 7 day inactivity get your ass teleported to nowhere
Maybe it's time to consider players as Real Human Being , and give them the ability to take a break.
Why not making Strategus frozen during Christmas (which is an international off day) and give the ability to have an 'Vacation mode" in strat that freeze you and prevent people from attacking you when you are having vacation with your family?
I think that we shouldn't leave CRPG to No-Life and let people also enjoy their real life

then you could give your towns to people who suddenly go on holiday.
and No Xmas isnt an international holiday.
if we stop strat for that then what next? Thanksgiving, your independance day. St patricks day?
-
Sure but then freeze crpg at orthodox christmas also, and at muslim hollidays, and at jewish ones... lets just not play strat at all ?
-
idc ill be lvl 60ish soon enough :mad:

The sooner you come to this conclusion, the better, for your own good.

I don't get the part where you demand that the Earth should stop spinning because of a special day for christians. Also, I can't really think of any actual international holiday except for the new year, which also occurs differently in different timezones.

i vote yes so i can see the nolifers RAGE
-
You can have people fighting for your party while you are in RL, what's the problem?
I guess it's highly unlikely the devs will pause Strategus during the holidays.

for christians
Whats wrong in giving props to the only true religion?:D

What's wrong with you guy? What happened to the concept of tolerance? I'm not even Christian , and me and my familty don't even celebrate christmas. I had no gift , we had no tree , and i was just smoking a hooka (chicha , narguilé) with my friend during christmas eve cause we don't celebrate xMas. But i can understand that some people celebrate it , in fact a lot of people , and we can be tolerant and understanding. Being Nice isn't a bad thing you know?

Actually I (like many others) am not christian at all but I do celebrate Christmas (ofc. the name isn't fitting anymore). The origins of this feast are way older than christianity. For me it's more a tradition than a religious event.
But this certainly isn't an excuse for pretending xmas is an international holiday.
That's why each player should be able to set up his own (short I guess) holiday time. You could make sure it isn't abused by completely freezing the fiefs the person owns (not generating any income or even make it completely off-limits, kicking everyone out of the fief)

Christmas isn't celebrated in muslim Country , because they have Aïd also called Bayram in Turkia. But it's celebrated in the whole EU zone.
Vacation mode already exist in other persistant web browser like Ogame.
A fief shouldn't be allowed to be at vacation, but people should be allowed .

A vacation mode akin to that of Ogame would be perfect imo. The idea of fixed vacation dates for everyone however, is not to my taste :wink:

vacation mode sounds exploitable

Tot. Vacation mode should not just be because of christians. I'm not a christian, yet at this occation I always go stay with my family.
The world have lots of traditions on separate dates. I believe we should be able to find 3-5 dates and makes attacks impossible there.
The real question is whether or not we want casuals to play this game. I can say for sure that I would not sacrifice an evening with my family for playing strat. Odds are that a lot of player are doing that on christmas... staying with their familiy that is. Each cultures have traditions.
Would you not like the chance to be with your dear on those traditional evenings? Whether christmas or new years eve or el ayed (or what ever it's called).
Exploiting these traditions in the game is from my point of view one of the most foul actions. It shows a total disregard for "fun".
It show that it is more important to own digital land and win more than having fun and fair play. And lets not discuss other peoples exploits.
Lets discuss shit when we examine shit, and lets discuss puke when we examine puke.
Do I need to say what kind of category we're examining now?
National cultural traiditional evenings such as new years eve and christmas should not be exploitable. If they are, they are the surest way to scare away any player from strat. I find it quite abhorable.

Haha...actually it is :| There are a significant number of Christians in the vast majority of countries in the world, and for many, they do have time off for Christmas Day, and in many, more importantly Easter weekend.
Though in Britain for example the tradition goes far beyond Christianity. It's simply a mid-winter festival designed to gorge yourself, restock your fats, and pretty much prevent you from getting to depressed in the darkest days of the year.
But yeah, I'd agree for a vacation mode of some sort, but naturally there would have to be a limit. Maybe a certain number of days each (time frame) that you can't be attacked. This wouldn't be overly exploitable and would help for the casual players who don't want to be no lifers to enjoy strat.
There's a reason why most pro-longed gaming tournaments I've ever played have the Christmas period off.
-
crpg taking over what?
-
O looky at all the countries that have holidays today! And guess what the majority of those holidays are :rolleyes:

Edit:
If you take that list as fact, there's about 130 countries there that celebrate Christmas Day, out of around 190 countries in the world in total. Not an international holiday my arse.

derp . Russians Doesn't have xmas, they have day called beat the Turks day, thats also true story check russian holidays on wikipedia :D
-
considering most major strat battles happen at times that most people would be working or sleeping it looks like a no lifers game already :P so who cares :D you can have your holiday times but ill still never be at any strat battles so im not really that botherd :P

It's celebrated in more than one country, therefore it is an international holiday. It's not a universal holiday. I would say that the majority of players come from countries that celebrate Christmas. The suggestion to take a Christmas break is a good one.

:lol: @ bolded, so what you're saying is, Strategus is your life?

A holiday timer seems like a good idea in theory, though in practice I see an opportunity for abuse unless this game mechanic is thoroughly, thoroughly planned out. Example: You're about to be attacked, and suddenly decide to take a vacation. In the mean time, your allies move in to reinforce you with troops and supplies. Even if you pause for a holiday, this doesn't stop other strategus players from doing shit. And just making Christmas a day for no strategus action would be totally unfair--there are other fucking people, who celebrate other fucking holidays on this planet than you. What holiday's count, then? Which one's "aren't important enough"? Who gets fucked, and who doesn't, in this system?
The absolute best solution to the issue involves not having to create any sort of game mechanic; the players should simply take it upon themselves to be respectful and knowledgeable of each others major secular and religious celebrations. Of course, this doesn't always work--as the recent Druzhina attack demonstrate.
However I might point out that OP's point is that "strategus isn't my life". Oh no, you lost some video game territory and equipment because you were attacked, and poor little you just had to place your fucking family first. Boo hoo. Your lost troops and equipment should seem inconsequential when seen in light of the happiness you experience when you are with your friends and family over the holidays. The offending attacker, whether acting from ignorance or victory-lust, will have lost more in prestige and respect than you could have possibly lost in in-game assets.

Ogame has more than 70 server. Do you really think that they didn't planned it to be in exploitable.
The vacation mode in ogame work like that : if you put up vacation mode , every fleet en-route to attack the vacation guy still make their attack.
So if you put your vacation mode when someone in strategus is following you to attack you , the attack still happen.
So people wouldn't be able to put vacation mode to avoid attack. Moreover fief wouldn't be concerned by vacation mode. Or vacation mode for fief should cost a lot of money , besides the fact that the fief produces nothing while it
