Someone is excited for the new era..lol

:)  2+ days and counting

well since I'm in Music on Mant this era I'll either have to move this character to Susuwatari and leave Rhys on Zetamania or move this one to a different world in order to play Rhys, not sure yet ... which character will be playing but definitely in Susu.  You sticking with ROC Horus or are you going to come be a dust bunny?

why dont you come and be in roc endless that would be awesome

Yeah join AOA, you will get a lot of valuable "experience" if you are in that kingdom.

I deleted my Mant character to try and get Susuwatari onto Mant but there is a bug or something  :(  

No I made sure it wasn't, I deleted that character entirely.

I was going to disband the kingdom and remake it however I changed the leadership so I couldn't do that either. lol DOH so then I started kicking everyone to get below the kingdom cap to respawn but ended up on Valhalla despite selecting Mantrax :| 

but after that there was only one map left to drop on so I was finally able to kick start Susuwatari on Mantrax :) now I just have to wait for everyone to find their way back to it :D

come home lost dust bunnies!

Looking for a kingdom to join

I have pointed this out in other Mantrax threads, and it has always had a positive affect.

I opened my gates for Binh and got great deals on slaves! What a champ; I think everyone should follow suit.

I will kill you mr. Bean!

man i wish i played for little britain

Now we don't have anything dirty halfer experience feedings going on at Lucimorth, do we Kobuskan???????

3 Music halfling regiments prepping on your ciy?

Music  :D
Battles won: 0
Battles lost: 2  

In case people think its only Kobuskan giving exp to Music members, you are wrong, it goes both ways, Kobu getting exp too... good job guys, yey for fair play.

I don't see it as anything.... seriously, who cares, just play the game and move on. lol 

Nah exp feeding is lame seriously.

It's within the game rules how?
So far I know the game rules state that you don't take advantage off the weak mechanics :P
So stuff like that shouldn't be done really :) 

On starta I wanted to do it cause I wanted arma there but than random finally gained lvl 9 to cast it so it wasn't needed. 
But within the gaming era things like that should be skipped really.

When you rejoining Music Kobu? 

The moment that the community starts to consider this type of play acceptable is the moment that the game will have died.

I have blown the whistle on this type of shameless play in the past, and just as I did then, I have made an elaborate image that has compelling evidence that clearly shows that experience feeding is going on. I am not on my home PC right now, and therefore I do not have this image with me (nor does this computer have a spell checker, so please excuse any poor spelling), but I will post it when I get home. For now, you will just have to take my word for this.

Kobuskan is engaged in an experience feeding ring with Braveheart, Scottology, and Darkfaith- essentially every Music Halfling except Fordius and Glith, who appear to be the only ones with moral values. No one is denying it, and it is going on in plain sight. When I get home I will explain in greater detail how this is being done, as it is much easier to demonstrate using an image as a visual aid.

Puppy, you are a new player and therefore you do not understand the implications of what is going on. Your comment serves as a segway that allows me to explain why this is so fucked up:

Experience feeding is literally the worst form of feeding or exploitation (save for exploiting game-breaking bugs that few or no people know about) that you can possibly do. The impact is FAR more significant than resource feeding or city feeding. There was a time when the community had NO TOLERANCE for this type of shit. Hell, I remember years and years ago when Zeta (the admin and game creator) actually stepped in and deleted players and their entire kingdoms for doing this. In the recent past, Zeta has even changed the formula for scoring to make exp feeding less significant in terms of score. It isn't an intended gameplay mechanic, and it ruins the game.

If a decent player is fed experience, they will never lose. Luckily decent players usually stay away from this type of thing because of how damaging it is to their reputation; it calls into question everything that they have ever accomplished in-game. It provides such an extreme advantage and upperhand that if it ever became acceptable, than the game wouldnt be about superior players and kingdoms prevailing; but about who the best cheater is.

The fact that players even allow this to go on is shameful, and the fact that players would participate in this or associate with players who do this is an affront to the game itself.

Prince Anonymous Report 08:26:29 Jan 10th 11	You know what I see? I see a loyal player helping his KD, even if others think badly of him for doing so he still willing to help his KD be successful. A player Music should feel honored to have... Its also part of the game and its within the rules. but like always this is just my opinion ^_^

You know what I see? I see a player who is notorious for doing the same exact thing trying to defend his own shameful actions via proxy. You have not gone an era on Mantrax in recent times without engaging in exp feeding, city feeding, or resource feeding. I rarely ever make furious or angry posts on the forums because I have a reputation to protect, but it is difficult for me to even respond to you in a civil manner because I respect you less than any other player who still plays Visual Utopia because of your actions. 

The fact that you are trying to defend the actions of these players in unsurprising, you couldn't chastise them as dishonorable cheaters looking for any advantage they can get (which is what they are) because you do the same exact thing era after era. I don't even know where to start with your remark, at first I was sure that someone was trying to troll the forums until I saw that it was you posting it.

1. A player loyal to his kingdom wouldn't leave his kingdom, especially if he is the leader.

2. A kingdom's success should not be measured by whether they win or lose, but by how they performed and the actions and decisions they make. By giving yourself such an unfair advantage it is impossible to realistically gauge your kingdom's performance because you set the skill ceiling so low.

3. Players in Music shouldn't be honored to have this going on, they should be ashamed for even being associated with it.

4. It is part of the game because it is an inevitable flaw. Zeta has demonstrated numerous times that this is just as much an unintented mechanic as resource and city feeding, so it is up to the players to make sure that it doesnt happen. There are FAR more significant bugs and exploits in the game, but using them is still cheating.

I know this has all been one huge wall of text, but I can't sit by and allow players to think that this is acceptable behavior. Subjects so important and actions so shameful are deserving of long explanations and posts.

lol at people saying its ok to cheat

Can somebody explain how its works

He can still do this type of bullshit while sitting in a blocker, it isn't as though he needs to keep the Adventurer in the blocker too.

Guys don't overreact.
I decided to join Music this era. 
But if they don't stop there activities I will be switching kingdoms as I don't wanna be associated with this really.

So I don't approve of this and I already have said so in the kingdom forum aswell. So if this doesn't stop tomorrow Ill join a new kingdom I guess :) 

All this feeding stuff is why Fant is ghey, and why Mantrax is half-ghey.  I honestly didn't think I would see much feeding in Mantrax though.  I mean seriously?  It's a game first of all, no one gives a crap if you win.  But more importantly on Mantrax?  Yeah really...
