So ladies and gentlemen...

I am out for the next couple of weeks as I am visiting my ancestral fief of Athens for Xmas and New Years. I am taking my laptop with me but generally I doubt I will have time to game...

So once again,

Happy Holidays, Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and to your families! See you after the 9th.

Speaking of "night time"...

I had a 'revolutionary' idea about this...

You know how we can choose 8 hours of night time to represent the time we cant play right?

Well for the majority of adult human beings the time you CANT play tends to be more to the side that MAYBE you have 8 hours TO play as opposed to not play.

For me having a full time job and a bit of a life its extremely hard to choose when my night time should be... I mean seriously the time I can schedule for gaming on a weekday is between 18:30 and 24:00 (being generous). I am either working or sleeping any other time and as such cant play in my own battles.

Would it not be better to have a system where you place your "fighting times" and that is the time you can actually fight? This can also be abused but at least you get to play and fight in your own battles! Additionally perhaps instead of getting 24 hours of down time if the time of the attack is within your fighting time then this would take place on the same day (so for example someone tries to attack me on Monday 13:00 CET and the battle is automatically set for Monday 19:00 CET as opposed to Tuesday 13:00 CET).

Out of curiosity!

What did you have?

I mean apart from any weapons (which shouldnt be many cause you appeared as unarmed) was it anything good?

Thats why I was saying that perhaps 1-2-3 hours could be enough but 24 hours? Thats too long and it creates an awesome defense strategy for caravan protection...

Well, in many online games it is forbidden or a grey-zone to have more than one key, so why shouldn't it here?

What???

Where did you hear that????

Nor in WoW, nor in SWTOR, nor in EVE online has anyone ever said "you cant have 2 accounts".

Quite the contrary! Companys love selling more copies of their games as it means you actually bought it again and again!

I can understand the "you cant have multi-accounts cause of Strategus" part (dubious as that may be...) but why not for normal CRPG?

Sorry for breaking off topic, just had to address the above statement.

Ah yes...

I was the one trying to attack him.

By mistake I cancelled the battle though the guy was unarmed and I had decent gear... his 70 crates had to be mine!

Apparently there is a 24 hour cool down.

I thought that meant -I- couldnt reattack him... apparently though NOONE can!?!

Anyone sees the abuse possibility here?

I can understand endless... I can understand a short time sure...

But a day?

I mean wouldnt a couple of hours or even 4-5 hours be enough?

In the end I lost my slow moving overbeared target cause of this...

And if its for delaying reasons... well already we have the fact that you can only attack if you have at least 1/3rd of your targets men (so you cant go harassing a 2000 man army with 100 guys though this is crazy at is... skirmishes were always a tactic in middle ages).

Then you have the fact that when you cancel the attack you already lose some of your troops!

One day?

Isnt that a bit excessive?

I also may be a bit thick but can I ask what was that put in place to stop? I mean what kind of abuse was it designed against?

Okay so I tried to attack someone (and it worked) but I accidentally clicked "cancel battle".

Now I lost some troops from that (although the battle didnt happen) which doesnt make sense to me but yea whatever.

Well seeing as I actually -did- want that battle and as my target has lots of crates, is unarmed and is still not that much numerically superior than me (it was 49 vs 49 before, after the cancelled attack its 39 vs 56) I am trying to attack him again but for some reason it wont let me!

So I am practically next to him (11m) but it just doesnt initiate the attack.

The botched attack was at 12:46 GMT and now its 15:24 and it still wont let me attack!?!?!

Is it a bug or something? I had heard that there is a cool down between battles but how long is that and whats the point? I havent seen it for fiefs for example!

I was going to say that a few weeks ago an admin lost his admin for accepting a "crappy" deal from a new player...

But yea Grey's went ahead and canned that drama from the start by being noble... imagine that... noble Grey's...

Its really simple.

When you are IN game you must be actually playing.

When you want to go to the toilet, smoke or have sex with your palm you NEED to go to spectator mode.

Their Mod, Their Servers, Their Rules. You dont like them, you dont play.

Though in this case it actually makes absolute sense. While in game you gain XP and Gold. If AFK you gain Gold and XP for... well doing nothing.

Unfortunately it is so...

It doesnt just NOT make sense but its mind boggling to even consider but it is how it is...

You craft your precious 22 gold a pop anvil... then move to a place where local product is... giant crabs costing 5 gold and for some reason your anvils cost 5 gold... cool ha?

Is this written/said somewhere on the forums?

I mean I am a new player with a gen 1 character and I havent seen it in the server rules, game rules, mod rules etc...

Not just for me but for other new people it could help...

Now having said that, the next question is... why? Why is it bannable?
