I think this of very poor taste, for it is /not/ how friends playing a board game together would behave.

This, absolutely this.

It must suck hard to be on Summerdale's position.

Especially now there's 20k of enemy CS jammed into that one region. I know thats an IC development, but it still makes it suck all the harder.

Apologies if my thread is construed that way; it was NOT intended to blame or otherwise insult the magistrates. It was intended to bring to attention that there has still been no compliance by the player with the magistrates verdict in that particular case.

Apologies for not posting scout reports¡, i'm on my phone & cant format them. I'm sure someone else can provide, & you can compare to the reports on page 1 of the last thread.

Questions & Answers / Yet another Summerdale Militia thread.

« on: April 28, 2012, 11:54:37 AM »

Soon as the last thread is locked, I'm having to post a new topic.

So far, Orris was told to disband the summerdale militia, appeared to do so sloely while his realm mates dropped more militia (he disbanded 30 men over several turns), and we protested because the number was actually increasing. The verdict reached was that it cost Orris time and gold to disband and thus it could be done over a period.

Putting aside that, by dropping new militia in his region, Orris would have less gold to spend on disbanding this militia, it seems that 7 days from the locking of the last thread nothing has changed. There are still large units of Summerdale Militia in the region. Further to that, during this time Orris has had time & gold (a lack of which was supposedly stopping him disbanding militia), to replace his unit of special forces with a large unit of mixed infantry.

It seems the magistrates verdict is being ignored.

Can we have some kind of final ruling on this?? Either the disbanding militia is never going to happen & we should forget about it, or the verdict needs to be enforced.

Questions & Answers / Re: Militia increase in Mt. Black Nastrond

« on: April 18, 2012, 03:25:24 PM »

At the time of sentencing there was approx 4k militia in Mt Black Nastrond. I believe the sentence was to rectify the situation by disbanding the militia. However, there is still 4k militia there.
 
I'm not sure whether its possible to rename militia, but either Orriss has renamed several units of militia,or they are slowly 'complying' with the magistrates command by, one unit at a time (as to keep their mobile CS up) dropping a unit of militia and disbanding one of the Summerdale ones . This is 'technically' following the sentence of disbanding the summerdale militia(over a long time), but doing it in a way that seems to defy the intent of the sentence.

This is something the magistrates should clearly be made aware of but I too was not sure where to report this.

Magistrates Case Archive / Re: Deliberate use of a bug for IC gain.

Not only being kept, but being heavily reinforced. It's sad that for all the talk from in this thread about this being an innocent mistake, the Libero players have kept deathly quiet on the idea of disbanding the Summerdale milita they gained. Judging purely off ingame actions, Orris and co have every intent to use it to thier gain.

Kind of pisses on the social contract:

We expect you to play the game as you would play a board game with good friends, and to value fair play above any victory or power.

If I was playing Monopoly with friends and it was spotted that the banker accidentally gave me an extra 500, would I say "Well, it was a mistake, but it was given to me so i'm going to keep a hold of it"? Of course not, even if the rules of the game permitted me to keep it it'd not be in the spirit of fair play to do that.

I know they're 'entitled' to play through the bug however they wish (apparently), and ultimately, unless anyone on the staff steps in we have to deal with that, but certainly I feel the actions (making full use of the gain) don't match the words (it was an innocent mistake).

I see your point, though I dont see an unfair advantage in not making us have to fight our own militia. 

Personally I would find it hard to believe there's no dishonest intent behind any bug exploit if the person who gained from it was unwilling to forgo what they got from it. If they want to keep what they gained then it makes me question the intent behind doing it.

Just my personal philosophy I guess  We all have one.

Orris, if you had no intention to unfairly gain from it, would you be willing to disband the militia as a show of good faith? I think this would assuage alot of bad blood & show that you're not intending to exploit (gain from) a bug.

Well, not dropping the militia would mean you'd have those troops instead of us . . . and while it might have just been a text bug or something, if it says the lord is someone . . . well, probably a good idea to check.

Just to reiterate... he wasnt the Lord when the militia was dropped... all this "it's your own fault for dropping militia" talk is ridiculous. it was only a few turns later his name popped onto it.

As for ingame roleplay of the bug...he wrote us an IC message when we threw him out saying he'd be back. He was well aware he'd been thrown out both from an IC and OOC perspective. Reverting the region back makes no IC sense alongside this.

He must have known the effect a switch would have. Taking over the region is not what gets me... but we dropped 3.5k of CS, which at the least he has wiped out. Worse still - if theyve switched then that effectively puts us 7k down - 3.5k we lose & 3.5k they gain. For small realms thats enough to change the course of a war, and completely undoes the good work we achieved so far.

Obviously its been said that the devs wont undo the consequences of the bug, and I have no argument with that.
But I think if this action was cynical then the 'seriousness' of it needs to be kept in mind... we're not just talking the loss of a region here, but a deliberate attempt to change the course of a war through a bug.
