Aid in in protection?

Xliest

Hey so did we decide that aiding a new kingdom wasn’t something we wanted to do?

I recall getting aid in protection in the game before. It helps on late starts. And you still should not be able to send aid while in protection but not getting aid seems weird.

Lord Thane

I think receiving aid should be allowed. @TheKeeper what you think?

TheKeeper

Lord Thane I'm not sure if it's ok the power leveling, would be lucrative for multi accounts

Leo

What about at the start of a round when everyone is under initial protection?

Xliest

Leo then no one can send aid… it’s fine…

DougEfresh

I don't think initial pro kingdoms should be able to send. But recieve yes.

Jets

DougEfresh yes, I support this. Helps late joiners but doesn't effect round start.

TheKeeper

Never been able to send or receive aid in IP. Don’t see much of a reason. Especially given the talk of providing a boost to late joiners.

Lord Thane

TheKeeper it's just for receiving aid while in protection, not sending aid.

Xliest

TheKeeper what are you talking about!

Multi accounts will be deleted before they leave protection… right?

TheKeeper

Lord Thane Hmmm, what about only for late-joiners and same-prov?

Lord Thane

TheKeeper I think the late-joiners thing would already work on its own since sending to a new player in protection means they're at least like 5 days late in the round? Unless you want to only allow it for later in the round. Limiting to in-province could be good, but idk if it's even necessary - people are worried about things that haven't been a problem yet / multis.

Xliest

TheKeeper why are we so hesitant to include things that make the game a little bit like what it was, with out affecting the game play style of any new concepts or directions it is a simple ask, you can’t send aid from inside IP if that hasn’t been implemented yet that solves basically all of the issues.

DougEfresh

Xliest people are running multi kingdoms now. so thats doubtful

Jets

Xliest I have space internet, does that matter?

Xliest

Jets what’s your ip address I’ll tell you if it’s an issue…

Lord Thane

DougEfresh didn't see any sign of multi activity in my last check. Theres a handful of players in the same household, but no sus aid being sent.

Xliest

Ya it’s not just about the aid though thane, I understand that it’s not easy to detect but it’s multiple coordinated efforts… again one of the things that the players are pretty good at susing out, not 100% obviously… just watch for patterns is all I’m saying

Lord Thane

Xliest I was thinking of building a multi detector AI. Feed every bit of game info through it, it could detect a lot of those kind of nuanced situations. Maybe something to work on when things slow down.

Xliest

Lord Thane ya don’t need to go hard in it there will a few probably but but as long as it’s not ruining the game right now we are safe I need to talk to you about your weapons system warranty though. lol but seriously 3x gnomes weapons needs to be a thing can’t survive on 1.2x
