View Full Version : Idea for next set
Because this keeps happening and happening and happening...
I am thinking about starting and leading a lation called Learn to Play [L2P] next set. The way it will work is this:
If a member (prolly will consist of me) looks a a certain state and goes "Hey! This guy has 'x' amount of grabs falling off within the next 'y' (where y = short amount of time), then this guy will be a good grab!" After this phase, if another state proceeds to grab the guy (for a pitiful amount of land) before those hits have fallen off and the said member is still online the offending state will go onto the "needs teaching list."
Now here is how we teach the community how to play better!
When someone enters onto the list, they will then be AAed. To figure out how many times they will be AAed is we will take a look at the grab they made ( "z" ) where 'z' is the amount of land they got. Then we will take ( "w" ) where 'w' is the amount of land they would have gained if they had waited til 'y'. Next the member state will take a look at the amount of land they can expand per turn and label it 'v.'
Amount of AAs = ( 'w' - 'z' ) / 'v'
After the AAs, a standardized letter will be sent to the offending state, his nation's leader and FA.
This will be for the betterment of the community of course. Any comments?
You aren't talking about my grabs now are you?
:p
I had 5 states with times less than an hour away tonight.
4 got hit before the hour was up.
If you are AAed you'll know it was your state! -___-
Edit: Just checked your state. Actually, you doubled 2 states I was just watching. -_-
I'm not very good at Algebra.

Their GB was not going to run in under 1 hour so i doubled them.

Well, personally, i feel that the person is slow, and thus will jump the grab before anyone else does. It has happened to me numerous times in the past where i go to grab someone and found that 2-3 people hit that person a split second before i did. So then i just started finding people with 1-3 grabs against them and just pretty much said fck it and hit them regardless of how much time before i would get a good grab!
Plus I dont have 24/7 to sit here and wait for that great 2k land grab at 3 am..

So does that mean I can AA you if.....
I decide to wait the hour out, and then grab only to see that you and another grabbed seconds before I did, therefore causing me to get less land on the grab then if I had just hit an hour early.
Using your same equation we could figure out how many times I AA you by:
Z = Amount of Land I got.
W = Amount of Land I would have gotten had you not stolen my grab.
V = Amount of Land that could have been expanded
Amount of AAs I owe you = ( 'w' - 'z' ) / 'v'
This of course will be followed by a standard letter something to the effect of.
In accordance with the Green-Rass decree,
I was adhering to subsection Green and waiting for hits to fall off to get a "perfect" grab. You blatantly violated subsection Rass by also waiting, but hitting the target before me. Therefore your punishment of AA's has been distributed to you. Please refrain from hitting my targets whence their GB runs out causing me to get less land, else the world will fall into chaos and people won't wait until GB runs out before they grab.
Sound reasonable?

If someone gets the grab after the one I am waiting for falls off, then that's fine.
Besides that, you forgot where y = a short amount of time. SHORT as in, just a few minutes.
Also, where you get those capital letters?! Aaaand, where do I sign?
