Honestly I hope that they don't reset Strategus until the "new" version becomes significantly improved/different then the current one, otherwise it will be just a repeat of things.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

And tell us a week before, so we can plan some "fun" battles with all the collected troops and gear.

Not entirely.  This version of strat has changed significantly.  You can no longer be effective if you don't play c-rpg.  Some of the bugs in regards to losing equipment you had equipped have been fixed (that plagued early on in this strat).  Some of the spawn points that allowed cities to be easily captured have been fixed.  Crafting prices were dropped twice as well.

I think one glaring issue is that on a lot of maps ladders go through the tops of walls and buildings, making them unreachable.  And improving fiefs hasn't been tested much as far as I know.

I say chadz should announce a 30 day window for strat to end, so people can dump money into improving fiefs (and hopefully have people attack the fief to test it out).  Try to fix maps that have issues with ladders going through the top of walls, and then start over fresh.

I think the best reason to start a new version of strat would be because of the change where you need to be playing c-rpg in order to be useful in strategus.

I despise coding/programming, but if you need a guinea pig to load up maps and test ladders going through tops of walls and buildings, I'd be more than happy to do so.  And I imagine it can't be too hard to learn how to fix the maps.

Let's say that in next strategus Nordmen clan get wiped early, would chadz or cmp "intervene" to keep them in game?

Has it happened before? No, no matter how much trouble we've had, and we've had our share. A stupid question that shows a really nasty attitude.

I honestly think that after these recent incidents and acusations, developers should either reform irc clan or leave Nordmen clan or any clan that has serious ambitions in strategus.

Just my opinion, nothing more :)

Opinion duly noted and disregarded. The devs have a right to play their own game, and as long as they want to be in our clan, they're welcome to it. It's not like they really have any role in the Strategus faction anyway, they're just victims of other peoples' malicious and ignorant paranoia.
Don't.

For anyone seriously thinking (I'm guessing you are not) this is a real possibility, I'd kindly ask him to leave this mod.

I know these are harsh words, but really: I would never play a game where I would suspect the devs capable of such actions. If anyone seriously thinks this might have happened before or might happen in the future, do the only possible consequence and turn around and find a different game. Because a game like this is not worth playing, at all.

Wonder why in any other game I know, played or was admin at doesn't allow admins to take part in clans?

Simple reason is to avoid any accusations and doubts. I actually don't care enough about the bug and exploit infested Strategus to blame/accuse anyone. But if one thing has been proven than that there is doubt in the community.
And there is no need to talk it down because everyone saw a lot of respected players stating doubts about the "situations".

For me: It's less about blaming certain figures but about having the bad feeling in the gut that things are going the wrong way. Which is taking the fun out of it when you can't stop thinking that some things are fishy.

This was posted while I wrote the above. That quote is close to "no fun when things may be fishy".
On the other hand: beer gets banned but I can't remember reading anything about punishment for the ticket- and equipment-waster. Have you ever thought about how stuff like that looks to people? What kind of impression this makes?
I already wrote to cmp on a different topic (banner purge) that there is a huge lack of communication between staff and community. How about you guys make a statement about the "beer inccident and his accusations" telling the player base exactly what you did and what you're going to do? Cuz just making a post now and then, being all dramatic but not actually saying anything doesn't cut it anymore as it seems. Just talk to and with us.

What other game? Other MMOs? Are you serious about that?

You surely will never know if an admin in a MMO is in your clan or not. They're not gonna tell you that, they are not joining a clan as [Game-Admin]Name, they will play under a different name. But we're in a small community here, people know everyone, and then you want to deny the devs to play their own game?
That is really a bad attitude.

Benkei, you're obviously a lot more sensible than some of your friends, but the answer is already in front of you:

http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,35834.msg544645.html#msg544645

Panos got banned because he obviously deserved it. That's an easy decision. The rest is a lot more complicated. Why should they wait to address the other issues before banning Panos? It'd be pointless -- as pointless as all these tantrums being thrown now by impatient people even though the devs have said the matter is under consideration. Come on, guys, be reasonable.
Don't.
