Yes this is my main criticism of the stack rule ATM, that it for no good reason favors the attacker. That being said, I think some kind of stack rule is needed but perhaps ours needs a little modification.
I'm sick to death of this worthless argument.
Sid. Show me the rule that demands that the only way for a player to lodge a complaint regarding the stacking rules is to pause in-game, take a screenshot, and immediately point this out to the GM.
That's right, there is no such rule. So kindly keep your pie-eating facilities closed.
Secrets is exercising his right. He has brought forth proof. Let's leave it at that until KoM has something to say about it.
And I'm sick to death with the illogical assumption that just because it isn't mentioned it isn't a rule.
You know WHAT it is?
Common freaking sense If someone is breaking by accident or otherwise a rule that could have drastic effects on your current war you DO NOT simply let it happen and don't say anything what you need to do is pause the game and say something.
Secrets is not exercising his right hes hurting his and everyone elses in the futures right, if making the only way to report on this is to wait post session before you can do anything that it leads to the risk of massively screwing up whats happening in game this is only common sense varyar.
I'll use 2 ingame examples:
1- Secrets attacked me with 35~ someodd divisions from 1 direction Aksu -> Altay
I thought at the time it was 107 but he must have moved it into two separate stacks at the time, I was the defender clear proof that he attacked me my troops were already there.
Are you suggesting Varyar that the proper course of action would be to say nothing and do nothing and let him gain the advantage in the war and gain the upperhand? That's stupid, I paused and complained over teamspeak and ingame chat and this is when secrets finally noticed that finland was wide open.
2. Here's secrets with 47~ divisions all of whom were moving towards me, am I supposed to not even say a single thing about it Varyar?
3. Here's his original 100~ division stack.
Which he then split in two and marched half of it to Aksu, apparantly he didn't see my division already there.
What I am saying is that my breaking it were accidental, and not intentional and for the most part stayed within the spirit of the rule ie attacking from multiple sides.
Secrets we are to either believe did not see my divisions in case 3, divisions there for several days or deliberately moved 50 divisions at my units, we can choose to believe that his attack of 45~ at my other position is acicdent or deliberate, and we can choose to believe his 103 division stack is the most unlikely and weirdest auto deployment of divisions ever (I do not believe a single province would deploy 3/4's of Georgia's reserves) or deliberate, the only thing we could say about is that maybe it wasnt there for 2 weeks and it wasn't immediately next to the fighting front.
Point is in each three of these cases I only rectified them by at the time immediately pausing the game and informing the GM this is my right as a player and I excersized it, Secrets made not a single word about anything I may have alledgedly did and waited until after the war was clearly lost to say anything ladies and gentlement I present to you that this is possibly deliberate and that as such waved his rights to see compensation of rectification for his negligence at best and deliberate gaming of the rules at worst.
