You would then effectively only need 1 person active in strategus at any given time (like overnight) if an enemy starts marching you can just give your faction member a call and tell them to "move their guy" or attack, or whatever.
If I tried ringing Fallens in the middle of the night to react to Strat I would soon have no Fallens left. On the other hand if i knew of a clan that was that sad I would constantly march naked armies up to their lands to piss them off
And now I wish to tell my side of this since Thovex has brought my involvement to light
I was sent the program and asked to look at it before anybody except Kinngrimm and its creator had it. Kinngrimm wanted me to show chadz, check if it was allowed and also check if chadz would want to incorporate something like it into strat. I passed it to Harald and chadz, who had a look and whilst chadz is still undecided on whether he likes the principle behind it, he did not disallow its use. I believe Harald likes it and so at the time and until chadz makes a decision, use of this tool was allowed. I showed it to Rogue, forgot about it for a while and then a week or 2 later we gave it a proper test before discarding it for the time being due to its limited usefulness. Less than 3 weeks later Nords were given access to it.
I am extremely sorry that for nearly 3 weeks I was able to see a few extra blobs on the map from the line of sight of between 1 and 7 other people. Not only was I able to see how many troops these blobs had, but i was also able to randomly guess at their equipment level and number of crates. I wish my level of debauchery had stopped there though. Perhaps if I had my soul might have been saved, but instead I gleefully chose to stare and plan my actions based on the 4 hour old images of enemy armies on my map. Using this info I happily celebrated the absence of the player who had spotted them, indulging my love of incomplete information and glorying in my ability to plan the downfall of each blob once my clan member showed up again at some unknown point in the next 1 to 48 hours. My enemies never knew what hit them and to my eternal shame I was unstoppable.
My biggest regret is that my crimes went so far beyond those of simple multi-accounting. You are wrong when you say that the use of this tool is just as bad. It is in fact much worse. Had I just been a naive multi-accounter then I would have checked my 10 or so accounts, spotted that one enemy was unarmed whilst another was a full army with 1000 crates. There would have been no joy as I selected my closest account and moved in to lock my enemy straight away and no build up of anticipation as i selected a bigger army to go and reinforce. Instead of hours of edge of the seat, thrill seeking pleasure and delightful anxiety it would have all been over in mere minutes, robbing me of hours of entertainment. Oh how I wish now that I had resisted temptation and stayed on the righteous path shown to us by the now martyred Union (may they achieve the saint-hood they so clearly deserve).
But now thanks to the wondrous intervention of my new saviour I am saved. The all-wise and benevolent Thovex has shown me the light and never again shall I sit waiting for 5 hours for the right clan member to show up, certain in my unfounded belief that my enemy has at least 100000000000 crates to steal. I know that all joy from such acts is only fleeting and that the only true path is that of cold, ruthless, multi-accounting efficiency.
Thank you Thovex for showing me the error of my ways.
