From a moderator perspective, I'd prefer option 2. When people do stupid stuff needing mod attention it's typically on the last two days, so I check in more often when I can. A moving end day would make it slightly harder to remember. No strong opinion either way, though.

Galleri is an Express moderator.

It's current name should lead you to the most logical conclusion

I've read as much mod bashing/false statements as I'm willing to tolerate. I will also not engage in a debate or argument over a deletion almost 6 months ago.

Continued rhetoric regarding game moderators or staff will result in loss of privilege to use this forum.

The rules are clear.



If a player has been deleted in the past for coordination, you were found to have violated this rule and/or admitted of doing so. If a player hasn't been deleted this round for coordination, they were either found to not have been in violation or violation could not be proven/determined to be likely. Moderators do not delete on minor speculation.

I'd suggest if players are going to have a specific forum posting, ingame messaging, or playing habit/personality that many other players might find offensive, annoying, or off-putting, that they consider not identifying their ingane country.

Yes.

But now you get to destroy them if you capture buildings you aren't using.

Medical tech does not impact losses for an attacking country.
Exception: Co-op server.

Guys, perhaps consider there are other underlying things going on that you haven't seen or can't see that are contributing to the current response.

This discussion doesn't matter since nobody is going to undo the ban except a game admin, therefore the ongoing thread was pointless. These things are not up for popular vote. Also, restarting closed threads is super annoying. Let it go.

My comment was aimed at everyone reading and posting on the thread. I only ended up deleting one post and it wasn't one of yours. Also, you agreeing to the request is not a requisite.



Keep it at least somewhat game related and away from personal lives.

Let's curb the personal attacks a bit, please.

Hurricane Helene screwed up my access to the game for a week so llaar was gifted that number 2 spot :-). Next time...



This ^

Premium players can change their country name before leaving protection

It's not uncommon when something similar to that is attempted, some people attempt to press the envelope to see how far they can push things without going too far just to he a pest.



A tiny part of that is true. There are both rules and guidelines that moderators are expected to follow and a general set of do's, don'ts, FYIs, how-tos, etc to help along the way. Those things will often not be shared outside of the team. Moderators are individual people and will all have certain nuances and tendencies to some degree. General consistency is a goal but will still be subject to slight variation.

I feel like there are a few threads about this here already over the years. I'm pretty sure developers have sad no a few times.



Never in EE. It was very early in Earth:2025 and only briefly.

(sweep sweep)

Some kind mod with additional free time would need to volunteer. We have this ability but remember we are volunteers and not actual game staff. Our role is focused on rule/gameplay enforcement. This would be more appropriate for an outreach volunteer or one of the game admins/devs. Personally, I do not have the "bandwidth" to do it.

That would require a turn as well. More if you're not tyranny

Yes. Food market is inflated. Around $15-$20 higher.

Update: Dark Demon will be moderating the Express game server in addition to the current assigned moderators

Dark Demon has been added to the Express server moderator team

Have you tried not being an offensive pest?

Game moderators can see all messages from both sides and yes, I do review the exchange when I'm the one reviewing.

Correct on the latter and I agree. The former is not an accurate interpretation of what I meant. My apologies for the confusion.




There are different scenarios where a moderator may restore a country. One of the most important being that a player may be found to have broken a rule but during the appeal, and possibly through direct messaging and assurance the issue wont happen in the future, the moderator may decide to deescalate to warning only and restore the country.



If it has, I've overlooked the recent trend.



It sounds like we mostly agree here on policy. And given the fact that usual practice was applied here in this case, which did not result in a deletion, the expanded discussion on what-ifs is a bit odd. My apologies for any recent negative experiences you may have had. As always, PM me here or through discord if I need to take a look at something in the future.

Since that is what happened here, I assumed you were commenting in support rather than objecting to something. Perhaps she thought your comment was phrased as if it was a complaint.

Someone is clearing/reordering all standing orders so theirs is next in line so they can pick up the $26 chunk being transferred

The issue was an ingame report because the player thought there could be coordination since he had done no actions against #6 and received harmful ops and ABs during times where he was exchanging hits with another country. Had the two players being reported been unknown to a moderator doing the review, at face value it would look like possible coordination. Given it seems unlikely to anyone that reads the boards that Cath and BH were coordinating together, a further look showed that #6 was doing this to other players. Had it been two players that the moderator did not recognize, there could have been a deletion and we would be discussing this through the appeal process. Hitting players with harmful ops and ABs for generally no reason kind-of makes you a fluff, but its not against the rules. The point is joining in on another player's hostilities against a country that has no interaction with you previously places you on shaky ground if a player submits a report thinking there could be coordination.

Personally, I fully support a player attacking another just over general beef. Using harmful ops and ABs against an unknown player for no reason with seemingly no tactical advantage being gained, especially on a game server that tends to attract new players over the others is pretty uncool.

I'm very disappointed I didn't cross 4b NW. I messed up a few things in the last couple weeks

Guys, there's a really good chance that JW and Cath are just continuously trolling you. I personally don't think that they are so oblivious to game culture that they are honestly defending their recent decisions. They are either posting a narrative that suits them in an attempt to re-write actual facts or they are just 100% messing with you. But it seems unlikely to me that they are somehow confused or feel truly victimized for how things have gone down on this game server.

Clarification on some comments above: new accounts are still being created and we are seeing growth of countries in some game servers. I don't often see that new players are being picked on, at least not moreso than they have been in prior years of existence. Typically new players join because they know someone already playing and join up in clan-based servers. Given that neither of you are new (nor is Gerdler, who was randomly mentioned in an earlier comment), I don't understand the comparison. That said, new players generally don't join and declare forever suiciding war on established alliances and veteran players.

Multi-ing is bad mmkay

Forum mods are not game mods

Defense in turrets sort is the only one that stands out to me. While still not having the exact break, it's still information that somewhat circumvents a spy-op.

I answered this via PM just now

This country was restored last night. PM me if you need further details
