Various Taboo actions, like triple tapping and double tapping top ten members

[Weisscream]

Hi, just wondering why these things are in place.....and if they really should be there.

[huntington91]

triple tapping is saying war on
double tapping does not matter
it doesn't matter if they are in top ten either way

[Mahdi]

double tapping within the top 10 is a retalliatory offense... and these were placed by the community as a whole at one point to limit amount of damage taken during an SA and that double tapping is usually worthless when it comes to land gain

[Saunders241]

Nothing against Huntington's response, but here's the way I understand it (why they were put in)...and feel free to correct me on this if I get something wrong (since i wasn't around when they were made)

Triple or more taps within 36 hours: Helps keep the overall damage one person can take during a non-war time down to a reasonable limit, and keeps one person or a group of people from just feeding on one person nonstop without ever having a chance to recover...of course that goes out the window during war time, along with any limits on attack types.

Double Taps in top 10: I guess since everything at that level of the scoreboard is so, increased I guess you could say. A double tap could cause a major shift in land and networth (easily dropping a top 5 player out of the top 10 or further down the scoreboard perhaps) that it was agreed that it wouldn't be allowed.

I take it you're new to the game, so just to throw in other "taboo" actions (to use your word) that might not be obvious to a new player....The only attack allowed outside of war is Standard Attacks, and the only spy action is the basic spy ops...anything else will at the least get you hammered or start a war, and at most get you killed pretty quickly. If I missed anything (or messed anything up) feel free to correct me....

both of them were put in place just to limit the amount of units lost during attacks.

although i dont agree with the top10 being given differnt rules just because of there position. i mean under 100 rank people dont say you cant quad me do they .

People under 100 rank don't lose millions of units per attack either

He's not totally new, but I talked to him about this and he was just wondering about the unwritten code thing, but you guys answered it pretty well.

I think double tapping in the top ten should be allowed. In certain cases like this set, you can get tons of land from people so it is definitely worthwhile and if you are trying to gain on someone or keep a lead double tapping is a good way to make them lose net without using an AA. Besides, how can one just decide to draw a line at 10th place? There is little difference between 10th and 11th or 15th.

I think triple tapping is dumb, very rarely is it really worthwhile and it hurts both states. just kinda excessive.

[Weisscream]

I suppose I don't really get the difference between one person triple tapping or more, and 3 different people hitting that person. The attacked loses a similar amount of networth regardless! So why should there be a rule against it? You should redo the rule to say, no hitting of a state if they already have 3 hits on them, or whatever number you choose. I don't know....to me it seems all a bit wishy washy

less gb up there i guess. and they have to draw the line somewhere. there will always be the argument that the guy one place below the line is the same as the one at the line, no matter where the line is.
