17:36:44 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Glass Joe: Dear Mr. Barny | ||||
20:03:30 Feb 1st 11 - Sir Mcmax The Magic Warrior: -->Binh. You are blind, only looking on the present age. What you and others are doing by casting Arma before real wars have ended or at least shown the winners and the loosers is, that people are leaving this game. With your attitude towards the game, you will sooner than you want it find yourself and "some" others more-or-less-alone on a Fant-map with an even greater distance to your neighbours. All you can do is farming, see who is fastest to get magic level 9 to cast Armageddon (the only competitive part of the game) and then farm on...... I just say, enjoy yourself. Because I'm not going to use my spare-time for 14-20 days just to build up and then see all "Gone With The Wind". Or to fight OOP against another kingdom just to see some "wise farmers in a fortified corner far away" cast the spell after 17 days. And above is only for THIS - as we all know, there are more misuses, glitches and cheats "out there" - just in case any shouldn't have got enough. ****** So Binh. This is not a "baby" crying. You know it I'm sure. | ||||
20:05:27 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Xanatos The Crazy: wow ok enough is enough barney you shut up withYOUR novel texts and every one else quit bitching about armaggedon? if you dont like it all of you gang up and kill the fucker thats why armagedon is only as powerful as the city its cast upon (go capture the damn city and stop bitchin) these arent polotics its a giant bicker fest fuck off all of you seriously.now i would like to know how the wars are going obviously dark side and mad are winning but by how much?
also now remember everyone this is JUST a game (practically dead game so why fight?) you dont like it take out the city or quit the game that will show them, they can play fant all by themselves | ||||
20:32:54 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Godzilla: or quit the game that will show them, they can play fant all by themselves | ||||
20:37:00 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Xanatos The Crazy: nevermind my last post someone has opened my eyes to what the actual point to this argument is and i am one hundred percent backing that person...Fordius Arma has always been a part of the game. is there really any way to explain it clearer then that? | ||||
21:21:14 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Barny: That isn't a good way to explain it at all, because a God Mode cheat makes you invincible, thus it is actually a cheat. Repeatedly recasting a spell to prolong an era is not only NOT a cheat, but it shouldn't even be considered exploitative. You say that you cannot forget about 1 game mechanic if you are abusing one yourself, and once again I will assert that recasting a spell to prolong and era is a world apart from actual exploits. You mentioned 2 things that were pretty good points.
No one has even thought to do this yet, people act as though the continued recasting of the spell makes it IMPOSSIBLE for the era to ever end.
Armageddon has a long history. At some points in the game it was removed, and at others it was in the game with far different mechanics each time. Want to hear something fucking crazy? The era used to last like 1300 ticks. 54 days, and no one bitched about it. When it was reduced to a 1000 tick era, people complained that the 40 day era is too short. There was very little point in "controlling" the spell back then, so no one did it. Believe me when I say that the players back then were far, far more skilled and creative then the players now. If it were worth doing, it would have been done. This era has lasted just about 40 days, and people act as though the world is ending and the game has been ruined. The reason people are crying is because they would prefer that the era ended, and they know that the era has the POTENTIAL to end now, but it won't. | ||||
21:33:57 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Xanatos The Crazy: i think you guys should just stop the arma before you do kill it because ive noticed and got a couple of messages now from skilled players that i knew long,long ago about people quiting so you guys should seriously just stop casting, you guys stopped it from ending prematurely now cut it out, idc (also the era's were quite long back in the day) but what ever you guys continue bickering i put my point in hopefully this discussion can be moved to some other place other then the polotics (hopefully no1 bickers about this) BUT THIS IS NO LONGER A POLITICAL DISCUSSION IT IS NOW ALL ABOUT BUGS BRING IT TO THAT SECTION OF THE FORUMS PLEASE) | ||||
21:38:53 Feb 1st 11 - Sir Mcmax The Magic Warrior: Barny! You write as if you were a spindoctor. Even when it is too late now, you are very well aware - and hopefully also somewhat concerned - about the real problem(s). So please. | ||||
22:51:10 Feb 1st 11 - Sir Binh The Conqueror: Mcmax you are the blind one. I never said I like peoples that casted arma to end the era at a time that I consider is prematurely. But that's how it is many eras for us (people keep doing it too early for my liking). Tough luck. I didn't complain/whine/insult on forum did I? "What you and others are doing by casting Arma before real wars have ended or at least shown the winners and the loosers is, that people are leaving this game." It's interesting that your argument is actually why we did what we did on fantasia. We control arma because we don't want some wise guy to do the above while we are having a heated war with some of the top kds. Are you saying you want fantasia to end quickly whenever a wise guy decided to cast it early in a farm up fortified corner? We are a warring kd, and we do not want any war to end quickly without a decisive victory. Our intention is at least a noble one even if you "feel" the method is wrong. And yes, this will be the last arma cast for I do respect some of the opinions of the players in this forum who feel this is a boring era. All you really need to do was talk to me for us not to repeat the cast. | ||||
22:52:10 Feb 1st 11 - Ms. Tress Mayhem: *sniff* no more fun lol 13:15:22 - The progress of Lets Just Fcuk has been hindered by magic! 13:15:19 - Mr. Hanky Spanky attempted to cast a spell upon us. | ||||
23:02:56 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Hanky Spanky: Failed at 71% unlucky since DS attacks us :s We have stolen a military science from xxxx, owned by Mr. Stubby and his/her people. Sterretje, owned by Mr. Stubby and his/her people have now lost one level in magic level. Sterretje, owned by Mr. Stubby and his/her people have now lost one level in military science. Sterretje, owned by Mr. Stubby and his/her people have now lost one level in medicine level. Sterretje, owned by Mr. Stubby and his/her people have now lost one level in mining science. Sterretje, owned by Mr. Stubby and his/her people have now lost one level in military science. Sterretje, owned by Mr. Stubby and his/her people have now lost one level in military science. Oeps.. Some science flow away. Unlucky for you. | ||||
23:34:16 Feb 1st 11 - Lady Pink Femmes Fatales: Unlucky for Mr. Stubby :p | ||||
23:39:47 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Barny: Shit man, I wanted to do that :( I have been so hard pressed the era to succeed in the positions that I have worked myself into that I have never had the resources necessary to Steal Science any of the players I have killed yet. Now both myself and my kingdom are finally completely consolidated, so I suppose I will get to do it soon enough. | ||||
23:45:14 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Barny: For the record, the first tick on Fantasia this era where you were able to settle a city was VU day 4325. It is currently VU day 5243. Only 918 ticks have passed. As Binh has stated, this will be the final Armageddon, thus the era will have lasted a total of 1119 ticks; which isn't even that much of a prolonged era. | ||||
23:46:50 Feb 1st 11 - Ms. Tress Mayhem: That spell is another reason to quit playing the game imo. It use to be a fun game even if you didn't stand a chance against the farmed up armies but you might as well put a fork in him now and put him out of his misery. | ||||
02:13:26 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Xanatos The Crazy: why dont we try and throw in our own rules? like shit zeta gave up.why not have something like anyone casts arma before 1000 days into era all kd's gangup on that one? or something like that? | ||||
02:14:55 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Don Flamenco: Oh My. How I wish people talk like Draiken. | ||||
04:14:25 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Barny:
I already threw that idea out there towards the start of this thread, and even messaged the leaders of every major kingdom about it. Guess what? Almost no one responded. Then when Dark Side started to control the spell, that's when everyone thought that they had the right to cry about it. It is for that specific reason that I can't respect half of these people who are complaining right now. Shit, players like Kobuskan scoffed at the idea of the players agreeing not to cast the spell until a certain duration had passed, but then as soon as a kingdom does what my suggestion was trying to prevent, they cry as if the game has been ruined. | ||||
04:28:16 Feb 2nd 11 - Ms. Dirt Devil: The game is ruined. Mostly by people abusing the spells for their own gain. You won the map before the first arma recast. Recasting it again was self-indulgence and wanting to utterly humiliate every other player by decimating them (been there and done that when all worlds were open) . You can say I'm a whiner if you want (I'll admit that I am), but the fact remains you want to use your weight as a kingdom to control the game play by getting a consensus from the other players to play by whatever rules you deem a more acceptable form of game play in lieu of using the spells... quid pro quo as it were. So I retract all my posts saying the spells or bugs are ruining the game.. its the people playing. | ||||
04:47:00 Feb 2nd 11 - Sir Horus XIII: <stands up, starts slow clap> but i'm still not quitting the game over it | ||||
05:09:33 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Glasses: Holding control of armageddon isn't exploitive and/or abusive, nor is it worth quitting the game over. If anything, Dark Side should be commended for keeping kingdoms from prematurely ending the era.

09:47:45 Feb 2nd 11 - Lord Gilth: Armageddon has a long history. At some points in the game it was removed, and at others it was in the game with far different mechanics each time. Want to hear something fucking crazy? The era used to last like 1300 ticks. 54 days, and no one bitched about it. When it was reduced to a 1000 tick era, people complained that the 40 day era is too short. There was very little point in "controlling" the spell back then, so no one did it. Believe me when I say that the players back then were far, far more skilled and creative then the players now. If it were worth doing, it would have been done. This era has lasted just about 40 days, and people act as though the world is ending and the game has been ruined. The reason people are crying is because they would prefer that the era ended, and they know that the era has the POTENTIAL to end now, but it won't. - Barny 1/ You can't compare eras from a while back with current eras. Almost everything changed except for the race and troop names. 2/ If you still want to compare with the past, there was bitching about eras being to long too. At that time not because wars were over, but because wars would never end. At some point, every era ended in a stalemate and people were complaining about the era being to long because only OOP was actually interesting and dynamic. (unless you think a dynamic equilibrium counts too) Gameplay changed from big epic wars ending in a stalemate to a needle like blitz attacks ending wars before they even started. Right now the eras get dull after about 2 weeks. If you were lucky, you landed close to an enemy and had some actual battles. After that time period, it's a matter of getting an 'unbounceable' army passed a blocker. Do damage, war is over. ------ You guys can claim all you want about this era. When the first arma was casted / was ending the world, you had already won the most important battles and there was no one that was going to build up to face you again. All you did was elongate the era in a way it isn't supposed to be done. Casting the spell and blocking access for other KDs. Recasting it to actually drag an era that is over. People have no chance to cancel that spell when its casted by the strongest KD on a city in a remote corner, well defended by troops and magic coverage. If you guys really wanted to have an interesting era, you guys would have continued without casting it. Another KD would've probably casted it to end the era and safe whatever they had left. You then would have a perfect target to focus attacks on, trying to get into an hopefully well fortified area to take out the arma city. That would've been interesting. Now it was just a cheap way to boost your egos. | ||||
09:58:11 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Hanky Panky: boring. | ||||
10:02:56 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Hanky Panky: me i'm a stubborn mardy pr1ck, i like to stick by my beliefs, i believe the era should have ended so i just dont play, i check in every day or so, for pretty much no reason, speak to a few ppz on a rare accasion and wait for the next game simples | ||||
11:17:57 Feb 2nd 11 - Lady Pink Femmes Fatales: was that a facetious clap Horus or a genuine one? :p I was simply articulating something that I think others were trying to say that I was originally reluctant to think :p your choice on whether or not you play :p 141 hours for me and then finito | ||||
16:37:14 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Barny:
| ||||
19:18:46 Feb 2nd 11 - Sir Mcmax The Magic Warrior: Thumbs up for the post by Lord Gilth. | ||||
19:20:21 Feb 2nd 11 - Judge Kobuskan: Thumbs down for the reaction of Barny, too long like always. | ||||
19:25:24 Feb 2nd 11 - Puppy Bunny Guard: When you actually take the time to read it all, it does have some valid points. At least he didn't use bright colors to highlight the text...... if he would've done that, I'd have to kill him. :| | ||||
19:57:45 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Xanatos The Crazy: yea you know what that ones too long ffs now im going to miss half the frigging argument | ||||
20:34:57 Feb 2nd 11 - Lord Gilth: I'll try to make it short. Resettling has always been almost impossible. With current game mechanics it's easier to get back up to a decent economy but the same people that crushed you before will do it again with nothing you can do about it. Blocking arma use from other KDs is a broken gameplay mechanic (your words) and therefor abusing it is wrong. After the first cast, you were steamrolling Abydos. You had access to the west with no blockers or decent armies to oppose you. Lew and Wilber were tied up in a pokemon battle with some of yours. By the time arma would've ended the world, only our 'dwarf core' was left. You chose to ignore an important word in my text. its casted by the STRONGEST KD. The strongest KD on the map shouldn't cast the spell to increase the era length. They are probably the only ones capable of canceling it when casted by another KD. A losing KD can't barge in to destroy the city. The winning KD can actually do this. The last part doesn't make sense. People don't want a shorter era. They want an interesting era and there is nothing we could've done to react to the cast. | ||||
23:51:20 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Panic IX: 05:17:57 Feb 2nd 11 - Lady Pink Femmes Fatales: was that a facetious clap Horus or a genuine one? :p it was genuine | ||||
00:58:18 Feb 3rd 11 - Mr. Alexander The Great: Why do you guys type so much, your using so much time to argue about a game on a forum. At least if you are going to argue about the game don't write so much that nobody is going to read it, because really is there anyone who actually read all of that?? | ||||
06:22:51 Feb 3rd 11 - Mr. Soda Popinski: I like Alexander the Great! sexytime? | ||||
14:19:03 Feb 3rd 11 - Mr. Victor: What is wrong with finishing the era before you finish arma? And Xantos is right, if you guys don't like it, then maybe the big KDs should go into VU chat and figure out some terms for Armagedon. And if they are broken everyone gangs up on that KD? | ||||
05:44:48 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Hannibal The Reborn: maybe everyone should just stop complaining about this. looks like Hex is just mad that they got beat OOP and didn't have the era restarted right after they lost, so now they're just being selfish, wanting a perfectly well lengthed era to be ended early because they lost early on. | ||||
05:49:51 Feb 4th 11 - General Who: uh dude idk where the fuck u been, but hex had a split core and only a few died, most built a city by the rest of us...go read the forums from day one. thanks. | ||||
06:11:21 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Hannibal The Reborn: then wtf are you complaining about, people are saying that just because we won the first war against Hex, we basically won the era and should have just ended it there with our arma. from Mr. Gilth You guys can claim all you want about this era. When the first arma was casted / was ending the world, you had already won the most important battles and there was no one that was going to build up to face you again. All you did was elongate the era in a way it isn't supposed to be done. notice that the first arma was casted literally right after we beat only a small portion of the hex kingdom. seriously guys, stop bichin. this era wasn't too long, it wasn't too short. Are you saying that every kingdom can only fight one war, and once they won, they cannot engage another kingdom that is one of the top kingdoms still, and should just sit and either cast arma or wait for the end? | ||||
06:21:20 Feb 4th 11 - General Who: Like i said...go back and read from day one. they were fighting a major war with Abydos. abydos lost... hex was recovering and the rest were fighting mad and like 1 or 2 dark side players.. | ||||
07:03:04 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Hannibal The Reborn: seriously guys, stop shitting on dark side, if you would go back and read from day one, you would see that Barney based on an idea by fordius did propose an agreement between all kingdoms that armageddon can only be casted past a certain time. No One Gave a Real Answer... So everyone, stop being hypocrites and blaming us, maybe we shoulda worked something out earlier. Of course, Hex will go on to ignore any logic and reason that we present them with and continue to belabor the point that we are all aholes and that we are singlehandedly ruining the game. Congrats, you have officially won the most whiniest kingdom award. | ||||
07:14:23 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Phoenix Rebirth: Hannibal... What the hell did you read? General Who was just saying Hex wasn't dead at the time the first arma was cast. How does that count as whining??? | ||||
07:21:36 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Hannibal The Reborn: im not talking about him, he makes a valid point that hex was not dead, and I believe him considering that we are still fighting hex now. However, I took his advice, and skimmed through some of the thins that people started saying after we canceled our arma about how we are exploiting the game and bs like that. I'm saying that we could have all came up with an honorable agreement back then when the first arma was started, even if only the top kingdoms agreed to not start arma until a certain time has passed, and that we are to collaborate to destroy any arma city before that time. However, Barny's comment was essentially ignored, and that's why i'm pissed that so many people who ignored his idea are now shtting on Barny and DS, and why they are hypocrits. | ||||
08:12:21 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Kender The Short: People are naturally hypocrites. Thats what makes them interesting. | ||||
12:13:36 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Hanky Panky: lol @ hannibal, I don't know about hex whining about alot you just said i only got the message 24 hours after, replying i didnt care pretty much . | ||||
15:55:54 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Barny: Trying to sound clever is different then being elaborate, you fucking idiot. | ||||
16:12:22 Feb 4th 11 - Lady Pink Femmes Fatales: trying to avoid the fact you casted Arma THREE times is lolol Hannibal :p so is wanting to manipulate the way the game is played | ||||
16:12:58 Feb 4th 11 - Puppy Bunny Guard: Not saying I'm a fan of Barny or anything, but any type of agreement or pact like this should be spelled out thoroughly. Like whenever I'm playing the diplomat in a team, I want all the details. lol *shrugs* | ||||
17:21:31 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Hannibal The Reborn: I agree 3 arma casts is a lot, but considering the length of the era? This is a very average length era. Maybe now everyone should agree on a treaty about arma so we don't HAVE to do this. I mean, how would you feel if you were in a fierce war with another kingdom, and some random kingdom in the other corner of the map casts arma. It'll cut short on you feeling like a boss if you beat them since you won't have enough time to take all their cities, and if it's a close war, it would end in a stalemate that otherwise would have ended in a victory for either side. | ||||
17:25:35 Feb 4th 11 - Mr. Legend: Hannibal your right. About that. But you can also talk to other kd ldr's about it instead of taking it in controll. You can arrange some kind of diplomacy between all kd's that you have a voting or something about it. And when it's broken all kd's should help and take it down. And Barny chill mate. He's a ginger. They have no soul. | ||||
18:42:11 Feb 4th 11 - Lady Pink Femmes Fatales: maybe ZeTa should delete the spell :p he did last time everyone b!tched about it | ||||
