    Roleplay takes player along a specific path during their game play. To achieve this, players swap territories in preparation for the game to start, or during the play to get a desired result in borders and territories. The trades are limited in number by the 3 trade rule generally, but accuracy to the intended game play is what is trying to be achieved.

    I find it interesting in my years of game play here that players will complain of both GM use in their specific game and of exploit use. And then do the same at the first opportunity.
    It is in our nature to compete and to win. If someone is faster in a race, better at jumping or more skilled in coordination, one tries harder to achieve the victory, knowing the deficit they may have in comparison. It is the competition we relish.
    I would suggest that we rely on our tactics and strategy to overcome these other deficits that we may have identified and not simply complain that we lost the race. Even getting in a few good whacks during a fight has a level of gratification, does it not?
    And, of course, use what we learn to OUR advantage to win the next time. That is our nature.

    The moderators try to do a lot for the community through the chat. We would like to hear from you, those that actually use the chat, on what we get right and what you feel we can try to do better. Please keep you comments relative to the chat specific topic. Bugs, reports and game related issue resolution are not the goal of this.

    The goal is give us constructive feedback that we can use.

    The reporting of multi accounts is taken very seriously regardless of the status, rank or GM the player procures. It is imperative that players report suspected multis if we in the staff are to act to stop it.
    The Terms of Service specifically forbids this and there is no blind eye turned towards these players when violation is detected.
    To better understand the reporting structure, the report is generated. In a 500 player map alone, there are massive amounts of reports that are submitted, and each must be reviewed and researched. The staff can not simply act on these reports without the proof to do so, and getting to the truth takes a lot of research.
    Multiply this by all the additional games that are being played at any given time and potential reports generated from each. The task is daunting to say the least.
    Have patience with the team as we continue to try and research, act and reply to every single report that is submitted by the community.
    We do try very hard to ensure a fair game play.

    It seems that global is a default of sorts. If we make the in game default on mobile now, and as it comes on line in PC, do the same it would cut down on new players asking to trade, warn others of invasion plans or make alliances.
