Warlord Ethics

[Shadow]

Without the ethics you get a place like valhall. If you haven't played there for a set, go and you'll see what I mean.

Me: "Why did you just kill me?"
Some Valhall player: "Because your net was higher than mine nub, lulz"
Me: "You realize this is why no new players ever stay at your site right?"
Some other loser: "Who needs new players, they all suck"
Me: *Leaves*

 :P

If no-one had any ethics everyone would clan hop and so everyone would have that advantage

That's a different type of ethics.

someone killed me for a horrible crime of spreading when they were trying to lock land themselves.
A valhall player even posted:
da da da da dum dum dum, another noob bites the dust, and another noob gone and another noob gone, valhall kills all the noobs.

He was the one who killed me because he could cos...*gasp* I was clanned...
every valhall server except battle of the kings is dead :P

What are ethics?

[thomaskreisman]

What are ethics?

good question.

[taekwondokid42]

Here's one: Noob killing.

Don't do it. Sure, they tend to do a lot of things that would generally be considered negative, but that's because they don't know better. I think the best thing to do is send them a link explaining the common game 'rules' for not getting 'beat up.'

So, if a noob completely ticks you off, hold it back until they say "screw these rules."

thats not the norm for Valhall, infact, that player would be taken down by others there for doing something like that, unless there was other motives, or you were playing battlefield, which is meant to be like that

but my stance is simple
land grabs - don't care how many times you hit me, just how much land you leave me on, but use STD's, and I'ma gonna make you pay
sacks - if you have a ton of cash and food and nothing to defend with, you're asking for it, but use with caution, because retaliation should be expected
capture - never used before, don't mage, so don't care
kills - only when at war, unless I'm really bored
murder/poison, ect - only when at war, otherwise, you just started one
steal - same as sack
market theft - highly annoying
online attacks - highly annoying

[Holby]

The only hard and fast rule I have is not to online attack. If I espionage people and they're out of turns but online, I will hit them.

I've always found it a waste of time getting caught up in grudges, swapping murders/max attacks/whatever. I will always do what is productive, rather than get caught up in a feud that prevents my growth. As soon as it starts getting personal, it's not raising my Networth.

[taekwondokid42]

So I suppose you base who you will murder/steal from upon who has retaliated in the past?

None of these fall into the category of "ethics".

They are all dependent upon the situation. If the gain is greater than the risk then do it.

There are ethics, and there are cultural mandates. These topics are more of the latter imo.

I am a big fan of pre-emptive strikes if the target is someone who could be a threat.
