And ok, so the PDF will cost 120,000 meters a pop (eek!) Fair enough. It does pack a lot of firepower anyways and logically you wouldn't be able to fortify many worlds in this manner anyways.
I don't see what you're arguing for. The decision has been made, three groups have aleady gotten legal, and more are on the way. Just suck it up, and re-calculate your meters.
No, Gue, I'm not. And since you just a moment ago told me to stfu, you have absolutely no right to whine about being told to shut up.
Kas: It's quite obvious what I'm "arguing for". A fair and balanced solution to this problem, that doesn't involve groups suffering for the staff's mistakes. Give everyone a chance to correct the problem in the best way they see fit, be that taking planets to offset the change or scrapping assets.
Right now, you're sitting here saying "We fucked up, sorry, you have three days to scrap as much shit as is neccessary. What? You spent three months building that stuff? Not my problem."
It's bullshit. And you, having already "gotten legal", are quite obviously biased towards the rest of us loosing those months because you've already done it. But if three groups have "gotten legal", that leaves the majority that have not yet scrapped ships.
If this was one group that made a mistake, I would agree that they should not be given a grace to collect planets. But this is the staff's fault, and every group at TRF is effected by it. Therefor, the obvious (and only fair) solution is to give groups a chance to take planets, and THEN force them to start scrapping.
You fuck up, We Pay. Where in the world does that logic do anything positive?
This is obviously not a case of the Staff making a mistake; this is a case where everyone made the mistake.
That's really low, Isstal. Arguably, I was hurt the worst by this discovery. My meter limit is 150,000 meters; I had to drop 130,000 meters worth of ships and defenses, and 400,000 meters worth of mines. You think you're going to be hurt? I had to drop almost half of my solid assets. Be a man about this, and not a winy brat. You screwed up, take the responsibility and deal, sheesh.
This is not the Staff's fault. This is 'your' fault, 'your' referring to individual members. You missed the rule, which, while a bit foggy on specifics, clearly states what it means.
When I read your posts, I see this: "We screwed up, but I DON WANNA DROP MY SHIPSAAAA!!!! Waaaahhh... It's the Staff's fault! Hang them! Hang them!"
Sure, go ahead, keep your assets and try take planets to cover your rear. But if someone attacks you, you're screwed.
Or you could drop the assets, take planets and rebuild at the same time, and arrive at the same destination in the same amount of time, but be completely safe about it.
