Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.01 22:25:00 - [2] Originally by: steveid well if your reading GM Nova, could you take a look at this as the alliance leaders pre - petitioned and went to some trouble and expense based upon that supposed knowledge. I'd just like clarification based upon the facts rather than the op. Originally by: Ashley Sky Not to burst your bubble or anything, but we pre-petitioned this and were told by a bug hunter that this is an intended feature. Originally by: Ashley Sky bug hunter

Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.02 04:58:00 - [4] Originally by: techzer0 The way that is written, it doesn't say weather corps transfering wars to iMune alliance is cheating, or the joining and leaving within an hour is cheating. So... can corps still join iMune and stay for a week, or can this mechanic not be used at all period. I'd say Ashley Sky is right, it isn't very clear as to what will be allowed and what will not. Well, until CCP actually gets the coding done to change this, I'd say we have to use our common sense. Joining and instantly leaving an alliance to escape a war dec is cheating, so don't do it. Don't try to beat the system by thinking "what if we join for a day maybe it'll be ok". Petitions about corps pulling stunts like this will be raining down on the GMs, so go easy on them.
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.02 11:54:00 - [5] Originally by: Drasked All the "exlpoit yellers" should have a nice cup of STFU. There is no exploit, just perfectly legal useage of ingame mechanics. That the mechanics in question are flawed is another story. It's kind of like saying that claiming your bounty with an alt is an exploit. Except a GM just said it was cheating.
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.02 12:00:00 - [6] Originally by: Drasked You mean in the same way as calling a random customer support 3 times will give you 3 totally diffrent answers? A senior GM classed this as legal use of game mechanics. Excuse me, but how would you know that? Have you petitioned it to a senior GM (if so, please name him/her as he/she can take it up with GM Nova), or are you just repeating what the iMune guys are saying? GM Nova, a senior GM, has in this thread said it was cheating. It doesn't get much clearer than that.
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.02 12:22:00 - [7] Originally by: Drasked So anyone who claims his bounty with an alt is getting a warning? So anyone who does exploration and runs multiple scans is getting a warning? Etc, etc, etc, etc, you see where im going?? Has a senior GM said that either of those constituted cheating? Nope. Originally by: Drasked Just like Privateers they should be allowed to use this untill the game mechanics are changed, or i want that same gm to monitor EVERY game mechanic in this game this is not being used as its intended and hand out warnings for eveyrone that misuses them. The Privateers wheren't exploiting or cheating. CCP just changed the game. Much like they changed escrow to contracts. Those who where using escrow wheren't exploiting. A GM has just said this is cheating. Therefore it's cheating.
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.02 12:54:00 - [8] I think I understand now why CCP usually keeps their mouths shut and just sneak a fix in a patch once people have argued amongst each other for six months. Seems they can't please the player base. If they would have kept quiet about this, they would be drowned in petitions about all the corps that would use this 'service' to dodge wars. As they instead clearly states that this is not supposed to happen, and is illegal to use, they get loads of people yelling "you aren't clear enough", and who looks in every nook and cranny after ways to beat the system. Ffs, use your nuggin! Common sense is apparently a commodity.
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.10 19:46:00 - [9] Edited by: Ki An on 10/01/2008 19:49:27 Originally by: Ashley Sky Thanks very much for the apology and the news report. That clears up a lot of my ill feelings towards you. I hope we haven't caused you or the other GMs much unintended grief , as our major intention was to torment only the player base by use of lawful game mechanics and have a glaring, reported, and ignored trick work in our favor, until it was appropriately nerfed. Thanks for finally coming forward and doing the appropriate thing. I'm sorry the GMs feel that we are a bogus alliance, and I think that down the road you might be surprised. Our business is still going strong, we've been having a blast, we're very successful, and we continue to save corps through use of lawful game mechanics thanks to very creative and original thinking. Something that's quite rare in this game. First, I doubt GM Nova was apologizing to you, as she definately did not have any cause for that. Second, I've been meaning to ask you: How exactly is this a business? It's all free, right? How do you make money from that? Unless you actually fight the wars you inherit and consider potential loot as a business, in which case a better business would be to actually declare war on fat incompetent corps and take their loot. /Edit: Looking at your alliance membership, you don't really have any PvPers to fight any wars, so you're still a bogus alliance trying to save face on the forums. Good luck with that.
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.10 19:55:00 - [10] Originally by: nether void Hahaha! I just figured out how to fix this. Since all a pvp corp has to do is pay a CONCORD fee to start a wardec, they should add a fee industrial corps can pay CONCORD to close the wardec. Solved. Dumb and unoriginal.
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum	Posted - 2008.01.10 20:10:00 - [11] Originally by: nether void Since you have failed to prove 'dumb', I will take your post in a congradulatory manner. Thank you, kind sir. I don't have to prove you're dumb. You do that excellently by yourself with your dumb posts. Try thinking and then posting to avoid being labled dumb.
