Marauders

lol non bias admin good luck there, you may think BW is completely bias and lets people run rampant but he takes every single case into account and it`s reviewed and looked and when fault can be found action is taken. managing market transactions is an extremely tricky and complex thing to do
and then finding absolute fault without a shadow of a doubt is more difficult unless of course you want us to enact these rules

anyone caught posting anything more than 1 credit under the current price will get turn suspenion. anyone caught lowering the price themselves one at a time or any group caught lowering the price will all get restarted

anyone caught posting anything at less than max price when there is no other post in that field gets restarted.

any empire posting anything for free gets automatic BLed for a year, non negotiable.

any empire caught posting over the max amount in a single post will get turn suspension for a week.

any price fluctuation of greater than 10% Positive or negative in a weeks time will result in turn suspension for all those who posted or bought anything in that field.

there are no mistakes woops or accidents, all acts will be treated as deliberate. when running a inquisition to stamp out traitors one can`t accept accidents for a second.

i could live with those rules in place, i just wonder if anyone else could.

but i guess more people would just be happy with an admin harking back to a few of the old who always took the side of those who were "donating" the most money to the game. because of course what is best for Stephens wallet is best for everyone ^^

CG`s? Seriously? That is a horrid economic path for a Marauder.

Agriculture or Plunder are perfectly effective. (And if you are one that has taken my advice over the years, one or two Fertiles as bases, with some Agri research completed.)

* carefully reads SD`s comment and is concerned that this posted on the wrong page??

I am Marauder on Fast, and I love it !!!!! Targets are slim but enough for me to plunder and increase my bottom line. My side line income is CGs, I think we could increase the CG rate for Marauders, this would provide a better income stream?!!

allrighty well an admin with no bias towards certain feds/players then, or a nonplayer admin who took the time to learn the game a bit...

/me wants freakn back :( this blatant market cheating that`s going on these days with admin approval is just silly

nonplayer headadmin well there is such a thing. and they have existed for years though they rarely interact at the level where most players would talk to them. also they have this annoying knack for not really caring about the game just handling accounts and collecting a pay check. i would rather have a player or at the very least someone who once played a great deal but no longer does as a top person.

i`ve seen first hand what non player admins do when they mettle with GC and it can take days to fix and they don`t know the bugs or other things that have piled up through the years. like the V class bug, because everyone knows it`s possible to build 200 mil pr in pyth in under 1.2 minutes, even with arties. <<<< one such ruling i`ve seen from the person in the shadows at the very top.

basically it just boils down to the fact that there is so much stuff a nonplayer would have to learn about GC and UC and be able not to mix them up.

Loof completely covered my thoughts.

lol. Freakn has to be the asian guy from the second one, the seraph.

so are you saying there is only 1 viral in the game ;)

first matrix movie ftw.

Marauders are the exile programs, virals are the agent smiths...

Marauder population on RT looks like about 5 players... probably less than 10 total.

Turn GC into The Matrix, in my opinion...

Yeah more NPC`s ftw! Or just allow multiple accounts for everyone as long as they chose different races!!! Now we`re getting somewhere!

Maybe BW should make tons of NPCs to boost the playerbase, lol.

yea plunder maru used to be the way to go :( at slow and normal at least

Yes, I agree.

At one point my normal-server maru empire had 15 bil cash from plunder ...
You could make a c2 once a day, pretty much.

But can`t any more.

yes i agree

Yea the biggest problem for maruaders, collectives, and nonexplorable(+60-70 planet every other race) is the small playerbase. So yea advertising and a non-player headadmin i`d say be good for a maru update :)

lack of players = lack of targets = lack of monies

give them a +CG mod?

I think Marauders are otherwise fine the way they are. Agri marus are actually pretty dang good....and there are a ton of D class ships that are unique to the race to choose from.

Admins could implement Dark Marauders someday...that would be fun, lol
