Topic: [305183] Fair Play rules

[-305183] BossUser2 (GB1) [None] :: April 6, 2016, 2:47 p.m.
I made this discussion so I can hear what other players think about the fair play rules.

[4373588] Soul4Life2 (NL1) [NL1] :: April 7, 2016, 11:36 a.m.
big bull caca, because the fairplayrules are invented by the more experienced players certainly the rule about not being allowed to attack burning castles ( their robbing accounts). some of them are ok. like no more then 10 lvls lower when you attack someone. but some are way overboard like the "you're not allowed to attack after certain hours" That's discriminating towards those who can only play after these hours. that way you could be  handing out a list to every player on wich times it's convenient to be attacked? Tom me it's simple. if GGE thinks it's fair ( you can earn glory /galantry) on an attack. it's fair. if a castle is burning. but GGE let you be able to attack it, it's fair. if GGE let you plan an attack that will arrive after certain hours. IT'S FAIR!!!!! It's a war game fot pete's sake.. grow up and just play without whining too much. me personally am getting very annoyed about the whining mails I receive after just 1 single attack about it's not fair because : you're attacking after hours, your legendary lvl is way more higher then 10 lvls above mine ( you're lvl 70 aren't ya? DUH) I was burning ( just 1 small fire that you couldn't see)  and OMG. ya didn't read our alliancediscription because it states allof the above. 
If l wanted to read the alliancadescription l would have, but shees, when l want to attack, l just randomly pick a lvl 70 player, put a spy out, if there are enough defenders in the castle l'll attack and if not, l move on to another target. IT'S NOT A LIBRARY. l shouldn't be forced to read every damn alliancedescription nor shoul l have to be forced to always check if a castle is burning or all the other effin bullcrap
PLAIN AND SIMPLE. if GGE thinks it's fair. it's FAIR... don't whine
If you lose. work on your defence. if you win defending.. great job. dang. l should work on my attacking skills....

I am glad they are here, otherwise it would be madness, but I agree some are just stupid, the rv rule as a prime example.

[4376163] WiteLighting (GB1) [None] :: April 10, 2016, 11:44 a.m.
All of them except the attacking burning castle one are stupid.

[4376223] UltraFlavoured (GB1) [GB1] :: April 10, 2016, 1:19 p.m.
Most have been introduce to stop the slander.
Either with them alliances get labelled as bullies.

Imagine them without the basics. The rules also some sounds ridiculous have been talked/agreed with longer serving alliances and players of the game. 

For Example - If the RV rule didnt exist and you kept attempting to take someones RV . Youd just be hit hit and hit until you either gave up or left the game,
Nothing more of a ballache than trying to defend/capture RV's in an rv war. - You hardly gain anything and you waste half your day doing nothing.


My opinion on them - Some are good some are bad . but with the evolution of the game changing so do the 'fair play' rules.
Get yourself in a position to challenge them - see the views and see the outcome. 
Nothing is as simple as it should be here.

I'm pretty sure the rules are only there when the server has a decent level of competition and so as to prevent things getting out of hand. Take away the competition and the bullies of the server make their own rules such as tag team quad concurrent location hits at 4am being ok, but hits under 30 clicks not ok.

[4376862] Some guy5 (GB1) [None] :: April 11, 2016, 12:28 p.m.
Depends what servers rules you're talking about.

Each one has their own set.

Meteoric,

Ive got the screen shots from the end of our war with you guys, 30 click rule was insisted on from YOUR end not ours.  I asked if your side wanted any conditions, nothing came up. 

As to the hits on yourself at 4am, like were going to take out an 2 OP's on you and leave your main and your other OP full of attack troops, your choice not to recruit defenders, your choice not to hide attack troops.  Your tears are real however the reasons behind them are total bollocks, get realistic calling us bullies. 

You choose to not make defenders, some of your guys have fires burning from 5 weeks ago.  I agree with the fires rule and what not but when you use those rules to hide behind and label people bullies you just come across as another pathetic individual crying. 

All my hits on you have been over 100-150 clicks, every time you can get support but no-one in your alliance (exception being maid marion / TSR) runs defenders at reasonable numbers.  Yet you have fires and as RobDog did the other night, you attack out of them constantly.  You choose to play that way and be assosiated with people that play that way, dont cry when we dont care your your manipulations of the fair play rules with fires etc. 

Get real. 

[4379414] GamingGirl (GB1) [None] :: April 14, 2016, 9:53 a.m.

what are the actual fair play rules?

I know some but others I don't know.


[4379642] JJJJJJSK (AU1) [None] :: April 14, 2016, 12:10 p.m.
Depends on servers and alliances. 

A fair few people complain a hell of a lot yet fail to state the "fair play rules" and their isno real concencus on them amongst the top alliances. 

Some things are a given, no hitting burning, nuteral in storm, RV's are no go zone etc.  Pretty straight forward on the AU server with those things. 

Then their are those that use these rules to hide behind fires and complain when your attack them with fires burning for ages yet they attack out of fires etc etc.  So it depends on the server and moreimportnatnly what your alliance leader enforces. 

[4379959] MightyHawklord (GB1) [GB1] :: April 14, 2016, 6:23 p.m.
No attacking under 10 levels of your own level, although over 61's can attack any over 51
(this can be checked 'in-game' with your honour and glory)

No repeatedly attacking a player who is active and by that not giving him a chance to play the game

Do not attack any burning castles, castles must be allowed to rebuild (unless inactive)

Do not attack the same target within 7 days, again giving the player time to repair

Do not attack within 20 clicks distance

No attacking in storm

Captures/stealing of CoP's, monuments, labs, rv's, etc are a no no and usually end with threats of war or war itself

obviously this short list is not exhaustive, but you get the general meaning of things and the list would obviously change, be ignored or be amended in times of war

Hey everyone.  

Anyone know if you can hit over 10 levels over your level?

Just wondering, because you see some of the really good lower levels e.g.  @WiteLighting (GB1)  hitting level 70's and because of fair play you can't hit them back

[4380044] WiteLighting (GB1) [None] :: April 14, 2016, 8:24 p.m.
Hehehe. I'm enjoying it atm but they'll soon be hitting me back good.

[4380048] MightyHawklord (GB1) [GB1] :: April 14, 2016, 8:29 p.m.
as far as i'm aware there is no limit above your own, apart from if the attacker is too low a level then they run off screaming,

many moons ago the limit was a game coded limit, but they removed it, probably due to berimond

[4380049] WiteLighting (GB1) [None] :: April 14, 2016, 8:30 p.m.
Really helped me out there didn't you -_-

[4380052] MightyHawklord (GB1) [GB1] :: April 14, 2016, 8:32 p.m.
nice going Wite, keep up the good work buddy :)

[4380098] Fire Devil (GB1) [None] :: April 14, 2016, 9:40 p.m.
So as soon as Wite reaches fair play for level 70's all his castles will almost certainly be set alight by the big players. 

I would wait your time out where you are then mate.

[4380116] MightyHawklord (GB1) [GB1] :: April 14, 2016, 10:16 p.m.
errrm, 70's of any legendary level can hit 51's,

no honour or glory is lost

its to do with the old days, when they introduced the 70's they had no real power advantage over a 60,
which is still reflected a little now with the hall of legends

I attack like a beast but I can defend too and I'm in a good supporting alliance and I have watchtowers level 2+ in all but 1 castle.
Also, it's a war game, I'm not gonna stop progressing so people won't attack me, I'm just gonna have to deal with it, and big players won't attack level 50's because that is just nooby.

[4380251] Some guy5 (GB1) [None] :: April 15, 2016, 7:32 a.m.
however there are some exceptions to some rules. 

If a player attacks you from an rv you can then take that rv.
If a player attacks you from a burning castle you may hit that burning castle.
