Did you really take away a players ability to make war hits?

Sounds like a good idea.

The criteria should be: "making obvious-troll threads on AT"

Just like you have.

it IS concerning, because, so far as I can tell, it prevents players from being able to play the game properly.

As near as I can tell, it prevents players from making any form of offensive hit, or any spy ops at all against any country, unless that country hits them first.
That also means that players are therefore effectively forced into all X strats only for any netting they might attempt. which puts them at a disadvantage, given that it seemingly also applies across multiple servers.

I cannot say 100% for certain that this is happening, but if it is, then yes, it's a genuine issue, depending on what it is given for, and how.

If say, it is given to someone for 2-3 sets after an extended, demonstrated history of intentional suiciding and griefing, fair enough.
If it's say, given for 10 years because someone made a trolling forum post, not so much.

EDITED to clarify and expand on my meaning and intent.

It sounds like slag is a complete w4nker. This game is barely surviving and now he seems to be kicking out some of its oldest and most active players. Its like self immolation in the virtual world. For you slag, coz you are so thick - that means making such a tit of yourself that what you have will disappear.

I support req, tan, drow and coalie

What really hurts the game is almost three decades of circlejerks, so when some old netter lazily getting by without worrying about being attacked, because most won't, and when newbies do a gaggle of seemingly uninvolved players step forward to rescue the "victim".

How can a country make a spy op or hit on another country unless they hit first ... how did that country hit first?

No more bot hitting until the bots hit first

my understanding is that sanctions are only applicable on solo servers, i.e. express tournament and classic.

However, as Leto is, the guy currently sanctioned maybe he can chime in and tell us his experience on how sanctions are affecting his gameplay. I’m not sure if he also got a forum ban or not but maybe somebody can talk to him and report back?

I think everyone posting in this thread should be sanctioned. It's all very concerning.

Sanctions is only on the solo servers. I was trying to fight countries vs finish first.

I did read the posts about the threats of sanction and I did slow down a little. I didn't realize sanctuons would not let me hit or spy on bots, one of those tldr things. It was a fluff move on my part.

fluff I thought that slagpit. Drow sounded like him for a moment before I looked lol . Seriously, and sorry. But I do agree with 3 points drow made specifically the last. But if we’re hit first and they make significant damage, we should be able to hit back, spy back, until last 24-36 hours. ESP if they hit first multiple times. But the other stuff I agree.

Respectfully,

Doug

I agree. This should be looked at. They hit us with special attacks and missiles and ps and SS on us and we can’t do anything. With Dow, farmer. Bru and the other old farts lol

Sincerely as always,

As one of these prolific farmers I think it’s perfectly fair for be able to hit us back in some form. The top guys will still fight for the W and the little guys get to have some fun instead of just getting stomped down all the time. That’s no fun for them and fighting back is a little more fair. Obviously it sucks for us farmers in terms of high scores but it’s more fair overall and no doubt will improve new players experience by a lot. Sucks kind of for the big guys but I think we will be ok. New players will get a feel for wrecking stuff and enjoy the game a bit when they can fight back.
