Intentional Maxing

Gen. Volkov · April 06, 2006, 10:36:02 PM

Ah, but the hour wait doesn't take him back to normal nevada. It just unmaxes him, he still has a counter up there pretty high. I know, I've tried waiting an hour after seeing that someone was maxed. Not that many hits before he was maxed again.

The counter drops 1 every hour, 2 every time the player attacks.

Therefore, one run of maxing = one day of saftey.

Now, it's not really that practical on Reg, unless you have three or four maxers, but on turbo you can keep a guy pretty much solid maxed all the time...

Maxing, and the exchange of land by losing like that, are not meant to be in the game.

Oh and in addition, he doesn't have to heal to full right away to keep attacking, or even 6 turns. All he has to do is heal 2 turns and he can attack again.

I meant to use the 1 rat thing yesterday, but didn't due to circumstances. I just saw the reg thread about Cloud/Wolf Snare a minute ago and had no idea this was no longer a legitimate tactic. Interesting.

Really needed to be pinned or posted somewhere important, as would have been funny to find myself disabled today.

My point exactly. I had no idea it was no longer allowed.

I knew intentially maxing wasn't allowed. Which is why I went to talk to wolf bite to see if suiciding land was deemed as maxing. I also tried to find the post where he outlawed intential maxing to see what the exact ruling was, but I couldn't find it. Things that impact the game should be stickied....

QuoteMaxing, and the exchange of land by losing like that, are not meant to be in the game.

Similarly, market storeing isn't supposed to be part of the game, yet everyone still uses it.

In any case, I do not belive it should be outright banned by the administration... If you want to balence it out a bit, mess around with minium health to attack and the rate attacks are removed from recent attacks counter to make this stragity more costly.

We would, but Retto is never here.

*makes note of someone else realizing why Neo is now based at FaF*

LOL. I have known it for far longer than that my friend. I just never make an issue of it because I can't do anything about it.

Holby · April 08, 2006, 07:26:17 PM

So is there a final ruling on the 1 rat thing? Just how many attacks (if any) are permissible with intent to lose land?

Wolf Snare · April 13, 2006, 10:55:57 AM

certainly not 15+.. which, ironically, occured between yourself and light in the dark a day after you posted this... hmmm
