Voodoo Usage Against Fellow Citizens

[Most Lee Harmless]

Not so sure, Stan : This game is soon going to have to be called 'Proxy Glory' : no need to think or learn the game, just throw some coin at a merc or bounty board and hey, you can be a winner too! None of them want to take the knocks that are part of learning and developing the skills to be a good player here : they just want instant success, no comeback and they can feel good about themselves for 2 minutes.

Makes no sense to keep limiting the game play for a select few. If players can't be accountable for their actions then what is the point? Next time you see a person running ranks and you can't toss voodoo on them to slow them down, remember that. This whole topic is B.S., Voodoo is just like the bounty system but you know who is doing it. So if you put a bounty on a player from your own nation then you should receive hostility too. I want player X to fight for their ships, I send the voodoo myself. If this becomes a thing I will drop my account and find something else to do as the whole fun level of the game will be gone.

Don't worry LT. Most of these suggestions are so far over the top, no way is admin ever going to consider them as even possibly valid.
Essentially some of these guys will not accept that a person that has played for 6 months is not equal in power to a person that has played 2 years.
Just like those who have played 2 years must accept they are not as strong as those who have played for 3-4 years.

?? Really, you think that this suggestion was made because a newer player attacked a more powerful veteran and can't fight back. I'll give you a hint it wasn't. My strategy was trade, my current strategy is nothing as my fleets are just racking in danger points. There is only so much I can do and only so much assistance I'm willing for my guild to help me with. They have done quite a lot already for the first two voodoo attacks against me. And why am I getting voodoo'd? Because I was extremely critical of Danik and LT's take over and sellout of the US Nation because Mexico didn't have the means to fight against Rothschild, who as we all know is banned. I guess words hurt to the point where they see to take it into the game against citizens who disagree with them and who call them out on their threats and what they are doing. Why would I complain about a legitimate counter to aggression? Sorry, but I wasn't born yesterday and just try to play the game with common sense. I guess you think that newer players should just yield to bully players that have been here longer with massive stacks of voodoo and just let them do anything they want, because a loophole exists in game play. This game is difficult enough without people like Danik and TheLoveTiger that exploit the banning of a player and a game feature to swap nations and rise to the top swiftly with little resistance due to their extensive time and development in the game.

It's as my fungal infection in my pinkie toe once said, "there's two sides to every story. Please... I don't want to leave." You boys in the US see it as an invasion and unfair usurpation of the throne. Personally, I see two people that are just getting payback for what your past leaders did to them, or lack thereof. My fungus wasn't the smartest thing... he infected me during winter and froze to death. But keep in mind that everyone has their own views on the topic and a lot of the time they won't align with yours.

That's fine. Each side can call it as they wish. However, if you are going to call it payback then don't come in playing the "we are going to fix the problems from the previous leaders". They haven't fixed any problems.

I'm landing on a NO to this suggestion. It is a matter of taste, I suppose, but after thinking about it, I prefer having the option of casting voodoo on people of same nationality.It is easy to swap nations and be protected against the powerful players of that nation. Also, I don't think an even lower conflict level will really benefit the game. At least four now, that's where I stand. If, in the future, features like wars and nation barriers come in play, I'll have to rethink it, and may or may not change my view.

We are working on it : the previous leaderships (plural) left lots of problems to be fixed : but once the treasury is empty and the USA flag has disappeared from the map and memory.. I think we will be able to say 'Job done!' and feel a sense of pride in our accomplishments. Of course, fixing the problem left to us by the past leaderships wont necessarily be fixing your problem, but hey, if you cant please everyone, you just gotta please yourself.

My this is desperate stuff : LT and I have been the target of countless voodoo casts from 'fellow-citizens' for the past weeks and guess what? That's part of the game. Mighty whiff of sour grapes in this proposal.

ok what's the longest list of voodoo you've cast on me lets see it was 50 long and i couldn't fight back at all because i had nothing at that time and that was just on me when i was in the guild usa the longest set of voodoo cast on all of the members at once was over 200 strong and considering we didn't have very much to our name at that point yeah it sucked

You can't just swap nations if you have hostility with them.

Goooooooooood bless Spain and Mexico,
Lands that I love,
Stand beside them,
And guide them,
Through the night,
With the donkeys,
All around,
From the oceans,
To the peninsulas,
White with foam,
God bless Spain and Mexico,
Every sane person's sweet home!

I think you meant,

God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night
With the light
From above
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans
White with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home
