Counter-Attack Expiration

So I was talking with some players and so far everyone seems to agree on this subject. Nobody seems to have an argument against it. What do you guys think.

We think that the timer for counterattack expiration should not count down while a player is in VM. Thus if you hit someone and take vm the very next day, then when you come out of vm the counter will still be valid for another 6 days.

This would stop people from hiding in vm to avoid counters and overall probably lead to the server in general being more active. Just a thought.

vmoding should cost 3 borders.

Well I hate to be the oddball but I disagree HB. Mainly because you are essentially missing out on everything when you VM, no turns no market no arties. You have to be in it atleast three days, and six if your avoiding a counter or two.

So really I see it as they have to sit around for a week twiddling their thumbs while you make money, climb, and generally have a good time. If someone went into VM for six days to avoid my counter I would consider that a success since they dont play for a week and I do.

Obviously they are avoiding you because you are above them so it isn`t like they have some great position they want to hold. If anything I assume you guys really don`t like it when they are protecting CLUSTERS!

I can understand the frustration of getting someones boarders down then them VMing to avoid that counter that you knew would take their goodies. But so what? That gives you a few days to organize an attack when he comes out next.

Truly the only thing I think is lame is that people can VM for a week build then VM again. If you intend to VM again when your VM expires you should have to do so within the first 2 hours of it expiring else wait 72 hours or so.

And LtCommander as for that sometimes communication with admins can take time and if something happens suddenly and you really needed to VM right then it could cause problems. It is good that we have the button around if we need it.

And Squaks they do have to wait 24 hours after hitting someone to hit the VM so someone does get a chance to take those boarders again.

I quite agree with you HB, I however would take it a step farther.

I am sure most older empires out there would remember Stephen disabling fed elections and taking goods off the marker after posting them. I personally would like to see VM go the same way.

Perhaps a admin would be able to handle giving genuine holiday DP to empires. The advantage with this is that the DP can be put into newbie DP there by having fee the ranks at all pr levels.

If admin don`t have the time to do such a role then perhaps a new admin could be in charge of such a role. The said admin would have the power to stop the abuse of this system and as such a better and fair game for us all. <(..)>

I think this is a not-smart idea.
E EvilLoof
this been suggested many times the last 6-7 years, everyone always agree on it.
S Squaks
love this idea, so many times have high planet players hit me then hurry up and ran into VM before i could get my counter in on them, little to cheap i think to get borders than go into vm to avoid counters
L LordaeroN
Yup,it has negatives as well as positives UberPansy. Still,I like it.
U UberPansy
huh Lordaeron is the king of VM`s and he`s happy to see that he can return to the game with a stack of counters hanging over his head, is that what he said??
H HoneyBucket{HH}OP
Oh and I can`t take credit for this idea... it wasn`t my idea... i`m just the messenger... i have heard it a few times before... but this time bandits suggested it to me and I was like this needs to be suggested.
B Blade{}Liger
Great idea HB i"m for it too... =)
H HoneyBucket{HH}OP
So not a single person against this idea eh? I think that might be a first for any idea ever suggested.
L LordaeroN
I`m all for it as well..no wonder as I`m the king of VMs and anything related to reaping even more benefits out of it suits me nicely :p
I Infernal
we can call it "Booya, didnt think i remembered, didja?!"
A AmericanMinistry
i like the idea because it is fair, but call it something else.... lol can`t be a counter attack a month later. we need a new term! how about we call it a tag back :) or something awesomer
I ImaVirusOhNoz
with that though u could end p having a endless cycel of counters tho omeg O.o if ya think bout it >.>
D Deathroe
Great idea H.B.
O Omegian
I dont suppose we can fix the counters as well,

Where we used the oldest counter first instead of the most recent one ...
J Jammer
I agree with hb, but don`t like the idea of still having counters on a restarted empire.
