Rule 5.7

[Fletcher]

I'm not saying metagaming is fun or anything like that, and camping isn't fun (for the recipient) but if you got beaten, you got beaten. Thats the end of that one.


Talking of planetary defense grids, just slap millions of weapon platforms in orbit, I doubt you'd want to waste any land. Especially on Manhattan. The whole defense grid thing has been talked of before I think, and I don't think it got anywhere. In my experience I have not heard once in my life in-game "You may have beaten us, but our nuclear defense grid will finish you!! You must leave!" I have never seen an RP on these lines. Would you listen to that if YOU were camping Crete after a hard fought victory? I doubt it.

RP wise, I doubt there would be nuclear weapons on Manhattan to defend from spaceships think of Trenton and Newark and the trade lanes? Not to mention the docking ring, think of the collateral. I would imagine cruise missiles of sorts. Or just call in reinforcements.


While pictures speak a thousand words, I prefer to see the words.


EDIT:

I would agree with Epyon as all it takes is a moment when oneside is outnumbered becauseless players logged in. Even if Skype is used the initial camping has begun and any response from other logging in will end an outnumbered response.

Being outnumbered is never fun, especially if your allies logged out. I agree that by the time you Skype for help, its already too late. Isn't that a sort of strategy by the enemy? Surprise attack?

Lets picture this: 6 titans and a Corsair gunboat 'invade' Omicron Alpha. There are 2 Sabres and 1 Falcata. Near enough 2/1 odds. Should the Corsairs win, and camp Malta, then the Outcasts call for help. Too late for help, call before battle if possible. The Corsairs got the jump on the Outcasts. Uh how do I put this now... Whining about numbers is one thing, doing something about it is another. Its easy to say I know. You can't just scream on the comms "You outnumbered us, let use leave with our reinforcements to fight you again! Fairly" Some would say yes while most would say no. But you HAVE to let them leave server rules and all. But asking for a rematch would be an interesting idea, but you'd have to get RP right and ask them not to file reports for early 're-engagements'.

Man I'm typing a lot. I hope my message gets through.

*Sigh* I probably sound like a real grumpy sod right now. Sorry about that, buts thats my God honest opinion.
