It's not exploit because by that logic if I changed nation after becoming king I am exploiting game. Some pwople switch to nation as citizens maybe they finish first mission then they move to other nation as long as they didn't start promotion mission they are capable of switching nations daily uf they want. But if they started mission for rank and decided no I don't like it and quit mission before finishing it they need to wait 3 days. So as long as mission is complete and theydon't start new mission they are free to switch nations.

That isn't what I said. A king wouldn't have an ACTIVE nation mission. Banger said that you can just switch with an active mission by just switching, don't abandon it first. If that works, that's exploiting the wait. Being in between missions wouldn't be an ACTIVE mission. I assume that those that switch nations quickly either are waiting or don't have active missions.

I also wrote my statement assuming that we are discussing players that are in the middle of an active nation mission, as that is what the topic is about.

If it is with active mission I will then say aswell it is exploit but that is up to admin to decide

I agree. Admins do make the final call, but it specifically says that we are to report these and not to exploit them in the game rules.

I look forward to hearing from CJ as to whether or not it is an exploit as it's been s.o.p. for a lot of folks for a long time.

I fon't really care about it because everytime I changed nation I was able to move on the king position or at least duke/governor so I never actually tried doing it so I learned about it now and here on this post

I don't change nations like I change underwear, so it doesn't effect me; however, the fact that it exists is reason enough to bring attention to it.

I see one of two things happening:

1) Admins remove the exploit.

2) Admins remove the wait.

I'm betting it won't be the 2nd option, and I don't see them leaving it as is.

From my experience there is no exploit.

If you have an active mission and try to change nations it does not let you. It says "you must cancel your active mission first".
If you just took the mission you can not cancel until the waiting period is over.

To change nations you need to have no active mission started. Meaning once to take a rank, do not go and start the one for the next.

Then Banger should explain his statements.

Maybe you have to be between rank. I will have to try it. I didn't think that was the case but it's been a while since I've ranked up.
