POB Siege Balance

[Grumblesaur]

I would expect that people with extenuating external obligations would not be so concerned with maintaining a pixel base. Has has been established, it's a labor-intensive process that's very risky. If you know you can't defended effectively on your own nor gather the requisite forces from elsewhere to defend it, why is it the fault of those who attack it that you are unable to maintain it?

Even if nobody could AFK siege, Even if player distribution was even through all time zones and sleep schedules, there would still be instances where a base is destroyed by an overwhelming force. Crying foul because somebody has more time than you is nonsensical. The time you have available to play the game should determine the choices that you make in the game.

it took the cooperation of three factions and several independent players to destroy all of the bases that have been destroyed in Dublin and Newcastle over the course of the last week. POV maintainers need not even be online at the same time to supply and repair their base. So that's the investment everyone assumes here that you need to defend it. MdG alone could not do this. EDA alone could not do this. BFC alone could not do this.

The bases were lost fair and square according to the rules of the server and the mechanics of the mod as implemented. Asking for them back undermines every wrist wrenching hour that the attackers spent. It wastes every minute of behind the scenes coordination, every message sent

It is not my problem if you lack the time to defend your base. It is not the staff's problem if you lack the availability to defend your base. If you cannot accept this, you were not responsible enough to be building a base in the first place.
