Fair Play?
There is an ongoing debate in the forum right now that concerns all players who wish to become the strongest planet in the universe.
It is said that when you get to the top ten you will attract some unwanted attention who are willing to have their planet killed just to bring you down and have “fun”. An example of a strong planet is in my system, the planet of Adana. When the two cheaters was caught by the game administrators and was disabled and banned, Adana became the strongest planet in the universe. I was so happy and proud to have him as my playmate that I celebrated by suiciding (suiciding means sending more offense unit than the number of defense unit) on several planets. The alliance was in a good mood and everyone was happy for Adana.
Then that day came. Adana attack a planet inside the Diamond Alliance and in turn had his planet arson by a planet with slightly more than 600 lands and one of those “farm” (a farm is a planet use by cheaters to get resources or in this case to make a lot of operatives that is use to destroy buildings of an enemy planet). A big factor on the success of destructive operation is the ratio factor of land and operatives. Meaning if your planet is small land and you have and a large number of operatives’, then you have a good chance of doing no end of trouble on a planet a lot bigger than you. Even a small land can do more damage on the biggest and strongest planet than a assault would have done.
Concerned for our friend, we immediately massacred and killed that planet before it could do more damage. Good riddance!
We thought it was over, but we were wrong. When Adana successfully assaulted another planet inside the Diamond Alliance, the same thing happened again. We immedietly killed the planet stupid girl to stop it from sabotaging Adana’s buildings but the damage is done.
Adana reported to us that he loss over 1000 buildings because of these two incidents bringing him down from top planet to number 4.
We found out that this destructive operation were constantly being done by members of the diamond alliance on planet that successfully assault or rob one of its members
Mr Simurg (the planet Adana’s alias in the public forum) immediately complained in the public forum for such dirty tactics and was immediately shouted down by members of the Diamond Alliance. They claimed that there is no such policy in their alliance about such vile tactics.
One Mr. Ners in the public forum claimed that he was the planet of the stupid girl and the reason he arson Mr. Simurg’s planet is because he “feels like it” and “to have some fun” and he “does not like Mr. Simurg’s planet name”. He also (seriously or not) said he will arson Mr. Simurg’s planet again after the new planet he created comes out of newbie status. Others including Mr. Veritas threatened to suicide on Mr. Simurg’s planet for his “whining” in the public forum. They emphasize that top planets always get targeted by people like Mr. Ners.
Mr. Veritas is right of course about the fact that top planets are constant target. I myself can testify to that. The people reacting to Mr. Simurg’s complaint and claims there is no such conspiracy as to bring Mr. Simurg’s planet down in order for members of their alliance to catch up, are probably telling the truth (this planets that sabotages Mr. Simurg’s planet probably did it on their own).
The problem is no matter how you explain all of this to Mr. Simurg, chances are, he won’t listen to them. How can you explain to someone who stays up late at night, catching the time, hour after hour, to look for targets and banks and to update his planet, and lose sleep just to have watch it crumble by a player who probably log in once every other day and does not really care about the game and only wants to see people in anguish and disappointment as they watch their goal fly to the moon. How can you explain to Mr. Simurg that it was only Mr. Ners fault and not the entire alliance in a conspiracy against him, when the only thing Mr. Simurg can see is that his planet falls down the rank while planets in the Diamond Alliance occupy his former position?
It is said that we should encourage people to play Galaxies Ablaze so we could get more members. It’s a great game with great people managing it. But I doubt it would grow too much as long as players like Mr. Ners who keeps ruing other players hard-won game with his “I don’t care about my planet. I just want to see yours go down”, game play. Planets at the top of the ranks are constantly a target. But it does not give these players the right to do it or that top planets should just accept it.
I do not know what the game administration could do about this but as long as these problems exist, players like Mr. Simurg will leave the game (Mr. Simurg is thinking of quitting the game). That leaves people like Mr. Ners to play this game. Do we really want that? So the players themselves should encourage other players to play with ethics. Ethics that do not intervene too much with the freeform of game play Galaxies Ablaze offers.
