Awsomeness!: just making sure u dont get too big nonumbers: splitting me is point farming..3vs 3 against teal? nonumbers: I'm happy with 2nd. nonumbers: I'll flag at 2nd. nonumbers: kill teal blue.. nonumbers: or you're farming. Awsomeness!: gg nonumbers: you're a farmer...why deny it? Awsomeness!: and nonumbers: makes you a cunt? nonumbers: :-) Awsomeness!: farming is part of the game nonumbers: not really nonumbers: no Awsomeness!: yea it is nonumbers: only if you're a cunt it is Awsomeness!: its a small problem with this set-up nonumbers: take your pick Awsomeness!: im gona exploit it if i can nonumbers: you could have lets brown me and teal duke it out. Awsomeness!: i did nonumbers: you still get your +1 per turn Awsomeness!: end of the day i win baobab has left Awsomeness!: u didn't nonumbers: sure shave a few off the end if you're worried about someone getting too big Awsomeness!: i have to maximise profits nonumbers: fine, if you want to play like a cunt, it's a life choice. nonumbers: enjoy your life Awsomeness!: man im hurt nonumbers has left imho, the current kdice system has a small problem that im sure ryan will sort out Dec1 and that is farming. i think i explained my actions in the chat to nonumbers not my fault hes stupid enough to let me farm him! |

at 2:46 AM, Tuesday November 27, 2007 EST Maybe he's drunk but he's definitely right. I was just trying to farm on the test server and my points didn't grow past a certain level even though I was farming 4 bots at once. I gained some points each time I killed off one of them but only as a one time bonus.

at 11:44 AM, Tuesday November 27, 2007 EST from danny's response, it seems that people can still point farm, but only to a certain extend. am i correct?

The conflict here is the need for DOM points and the annoyance of farming. The solution is to limit Dom to your maximum area. So if you stop growing, or let turns go by to farm points , you dont get any more Dom, where before you would get more every round. |

- and not all high rated players do it. ive seen just as many lower ranked players do it. its just being polite. you dont want it done to you, so u dont do it to other people. like all courtesy... if you dont provide it, you dont get it in return - people will pge you... i know i will |

at 11:27 AM, Wednesday November 28, 2007 EST A bit more testing and an interesting fact to notice: Even if you had a terrible start, you still won't be able to get your dominance points "back" by farming. As soon as I stopped gaining territory I stopped getting points. So your start and behavior during the game seems to influence the maximum limit of points you can get in this game.
