Next strategus

[Overdriven]

Add some cool shit to strategus, don't make the economy mandatory, make raising armies easier. Reset Strategus. Then everyone has big cool battles which give a lot of XP. Everyone has fun.

As to Leshma, some Fallens indeed lost interest in strat after the devs punished us for using the glitch once (to those who don't know, we attacked our own village so we gain a day of extra time), and we never rose to a kind of powerhouse we once were because of people who lost interest and still don't play. However, it was only fair and just that we got punished, and I fully support their funny and innovative way of doing it. Thing is, we aren't the only ones who have glitched in this game, but we are the only ones who got punished so far. As you probably can understand, it has a way of demoralizing people.

tl;dr:
Punishing all exploiters: good
Pushing only one exploiter and letting others slip: not good.

It's fair and just if everyone gets equal punishment. But you guys were the only ones who were punished for that. Countless other exploits in the previous strat and that strat received little or no punishments at all. I have to say, although the style of punishment was amusing, I think I lost a lot of interest in strat after that point as well just because it was a big pile of steaming shit.

That is where Grey Order and Druzhina come to crash the party. It's probably related to their culture, but they really want to win, bad. At all costs really. Now a bit of competivity is ofcourse not wrong, but in their case their need to win kills all good sportsmanship.

Now I wasn't there in the first strat, but I read the forum and some recap people did while waiting for the second strat, it seemed a lot more fun. People were playing the battles, had a lot of fun, congratulated the other party with their victory. They did all kinds of roleplaying stuff, were respectful to eachother. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Then Druzhina came and this mentality got lost, because Druzhina doesn't care for respect, sportsmanship and fun, but only for victory. To keep up with them the other clans had to approach strat like that too, and voila, there is the shithole we now call strat. Grey Order pretty much upped this a notch. And the bug abusing and griefing, that would've probably never happened in strategus 1.

That is why I yelled blanket ban Poland and Russia for the next strat. This is ofcourse blatant generalization, but if its really something culture realed that creates this mentality that ruins the fun for the rest of us, its not really that crazy. Ofcourse its not ethically right to ban people for their culture, but this way I am never going to enjoy strategus and a whole lot of other people with me.

I hate to make a blanket statement because I've known some great Russians in RL. But when it comes to games this seems to be the case in every computer game I've ever played. Russians always come and shit all over the party if it means they will win. Almost every gaming community I've been part of has had a hate of Russian clans.

Thanks for support from many people, but it's not necessary. It no longer looks like a competition in game, but a solid conflict. War on the map but also propaganda on the forum. Many people say that they are not interested Strategus, but this is nonsense. Their pain is great and this is evident. Using the old story from end of the first strategus, it's their only argument. By the way, I already told you about circumstances in which there was a accountsharing. During the first strategus, we collected the password, in case someone's sudden departure or computer failure. Therefore, the use of passwords was incidental, and in addition, it was before or during introduction of formal rules. With the advent of the new rule, all our activities related to accountsharing was immediately stopped. In addition, it should be noted that this was a common problem affected a substantial part of the whole community. My personal ban lasted about 15 - 20 minutes (just a mistake) and did not apply to this case. This was about account of my former roommate. At this time, even he is not here, so repeating the nonsense about 100 CD keys, it is only a sign of impotent rage of our enemy. Taking a adventure around several guys fighting for the defense, that's just another sign of frustration. Of course, I'm not surprised. What can say a completely destroyed enemy? Can say two things. Congratulations or throw us an unfair accusation. And these accusations do not arise from the belief that they have a reasonable basis, just for pure trolling. Instead of burning energy for trolling, I suggest you finally take a solid organization of people.
Of course I do not wish you luck, bastards

@ Everkistus - From what I remember, you have lost about 2k tickets, and extra you got a lot of fun with flying carpets, so don't do drama. Nothing big happened.

Biggest load of crap I ever read. You complained endlessly when that rule was brought about. Why? Because you'll do anything to get ahead, even using 100 people's accounts to micromanage on strat. I'll admit GK did it to. But we had 2 that we used for scouting and we stopped when that rule came in with 0 complaint. That was it. GO just took it to a whole extreme level and it's the kind of exploiting that you guys do at the drop of a hat if it means you get ahead.

For everyone here...take lessons on sportsmanship:

Riveting tale chap, riveting tale indeed but what you guys don't understand is that no one wants to blanket ban Poles & Russians completely, we're just wondering why is it that most of the screenshots capturing people who abuse the Strategos system contain images of people with DRZ/STR/Grey tags ? Even those without tags are connected to your clans via the site, as we can so often witness. I mean besides few random/no-name/non-important imbeciles like Herkkutatti/insert any generic name here its always someone from your block. Pure coincidence ? Sure, quite possible but do you really expect the whole community to believe in this without raising a single question mark ? You really consider people to be so dumb ? I think even you can understand that behind our harsh outside appearance most of us are asking some valid questions here. Your behavior just proves that either you were caught red-handed again or the great eastern generals had lost their plot and can't control their soldiers, even after all the incidents with their clans in the past. Is it possible that the great General Harpag Chodkiewicz has lost his authority and that the same happened to Russian National Heroes Dmitry Pozharsky (Nebun) and his faithful Kuzma Minin (Vovka) ?

[Rantrex]

We all see what we want to.

[Idzo]

How about next strat drz/go/str play on one map and rest of us on another? 
And ofc NA on third.

[Rantrex]

Maybe we should start playing 3 months after the rest to give them any chances then?

[Idzo]

We all see what we want to.

Lies, i dont want to see your posts but i do see em...

[Idzo]

Maybe we should start playing 3 months after the rest to give them any chances then?

Maybe you shouldn't start at all?

Make it so all villages and castles have been taken by clans or are no longer AI. Yes cities will still be Ai well most of them, then you can join and see what happens.

My bet is you will become public enemy number 1, and after you are constantly targetted by minor crusader jihadist bandit squads you'll give up like most clans joining strategus now for the first time after seeing the Russians (generalization for DRZ and STR) and GO control half the damn map.

[chadz]

It was such a good plan .

It was, but it had to be prevented

Wait, Dalhi says you are inactive in Strategus?

Bitch still owe us those trade goods!

[Gash]

chadz, I would like to hear your thoughts on strategus being more of a "boardgame" with a round lasting a few months, as opposed to a "never-ending" (for lack of better term) game.

Possibility of having both perhaps?

[Chagan_Arslan]

btw can the "sleep time" in next strat be increased to 16 hours ? 8 hours window for battles would be best for everyone no ?

[karasu]

  I wonder how much time will this putrefactive shit full of hatred thread be up, incited by our dear personified moral compass.

  For the love of all that is furry, go unleash all the frustrations on the battlefield, it's a freaking war video game, use the arguments to promote more quality and events in-game.

  No wonder the majority of the community prefers to ignore the forum..





ps: calm down, rufio!

[Dalhi]

Wait, Dalhi says you are inactive in Strategus?

or just probably like Rantrex (who doesn't use a tag for quite some time) are not active in strategus/TS,

probably 

probably 

Oh and I am not in GO for half a year.

I hope you got the message now, it was just my guess.
