So I got that dreaded report that one of my portals would be sabbed in 20 ticks.
I decided to raze the portal and start a new one.
Now the stationed fleet stats on the fleet page shows the portal as "NO" rather than "NOT READY", and the planet page gives me the option to construct a portal.
However, my council page tells me the portal will be done in a few ticks.



Will my portal actually finish or will it just disappear? More of this after the break.

Yes, you did the right thing and contacted me asap, i appreciate it. Howver, that doesnt take away from the fact that not one person contacted us for half a day. For instance, Primo had been on much earlier, but no word spoken.

Perhaps we jumped to our conclusions slightly as well, however it is common courtesy for the offending fam to come and admit their mistakes. I know that is what I do when I find out about these things. When Serenity went beserk in our old school game fam a few rounds ago in mw, I was first to notify the other fam and proposed comp immediately (while he was still triggering fleets), as well as mark him rogue.

Frenzy, dixie is talking about something that went on in #mod last night. But unless she is the mentioned player, who according to her "triggered fleets before checking forums or chat", or she is part of 6555, i do not see any other reason for her angry replies other than a grudge she holds against GxReborn.

Dixie, I understand you have never attacked, that puts you behind most of us in experience. I also understand (though i may very well be mistaken) that you are quite a new player.
However, what you fail to see, is that when these kinds of things happen, the family of the wrongdoing player is normally held accountable, and the least they can do is come to us, apologies, and pay compensation in one way or another.
This particular fam, did not do any of that. What they did do was ban Gx from their chat. They apparently felt no need to apologise either, as afterwards attacks from their side continued, without any communication towards us (given, i had started attacking back right after their raid, but this is besides the point since i'm trying to stress here how none of them tried to contact us to alleviate the issue at hand).

Please try to forget about your blind hatred for a moment, and see the irony of players who are explicetly asking for a police fam, pulling the mostvdishonorable move this round has seen yet.


Normally I wouldn't lower myself to their level and start whining extensively, as the posts i wrote in the other thread should have been plenty, but i felt the need to to clear some of the confusion Dixie's seemingly random post may have caused.

Oh you sly foxes, under the false pretentions of nap talks lulling Gx into a cf while sending out raid fleets of your own. Even after the poor guy showed good will by recalling his, which i had told him not to.

Game on.

And half of our naps had 0 raids involved. You kind of jumped to a wrong conclusion there, Primo.

Plus, what is wrong about some attackers having a bit of fun, using that morale that otherwise goes to waste. It works surprisingly well to secure a core early on and to getcsome action into the gal and form your fam's reputation as an agressive fam: one banker into pmode (which nowadays is nothing) and a decent, agreeable nap proposal, is all it takes for most fams to accept your offers.

Honestly, all this whining about something you can easily deter people from doing (lasers, portals, keeping a save core with a buffer zone around it).  This thread basically is a show of either a lack in compitence ("oh i did not build any lasers and now i got raided, surprise surprise), lazyness, or the combination of both, showing how some players are too used to imperial infra and scared of some imperial conflict.


Big up to Gx for having kept up this offensive style, even with my activity not being optimal. I support him 100% on this.

How about simply forum blocking/banning people for excessive slander and insults.

Even in politics there has to be a line that cannot be crossed. I mean, what are we, the British House of Commons? I think not!

Don't forget to add castle towers to those houses you're buying!

And why not just forum ban the heavy offenders?

Would it be possible to ban them from just one of the sub-fora (i.e. politics)?

Mind you guys, communism was never meant to start in Russia. It was meant to start in an already industrialised region with decent infrastructure and a talented, hardworking workforce. To be precise: Germany.

The USSR experiment was doomed to fail from the moment it began.

All these recent changes ruined a perfectly good addon.

Stupid mods and stupid developers, I hate you! >:(

With the new versions, I am getting the warning messages of fleet boss again to "make sure map links is installed and ran before fleet boss" on the messages page and the fleet page. On these pages the Fleet boss addon doesn't work either (no boxes for fleet input popping up and no coords turning red)

So I think you added a few exceptions to the addon?


Linkifier is working perfectly in forums however, which is nice!
