[Disapproved] 25 Fame rule voodoo

[Roileon]

Actually at the update player A gains fame because your wife doesn't give you fame, just presents. What would happen is that any daughter you have ever talked to will give you fame for your romantic adventures. Also, because you can't 100% cut ties with a daughter, you will always gain fame from her. Also, player A could king of their nation and gain fame that way which also brings up their fame. Along with that, player B can still cast the voodoo mentioned at the update. It's not against the rules and it's not danger manipulation in anyway. I really think you guys are overly upset at player A because players B have their hearts set out on that one player instead of the thousands of other targets.

Your romantic exploits gives you fame yes. Divorce, or the fact that we don't need a card to address divorce was spoken of by captain jack in another thread thus:

You can divorce anytime with the current system:

Code: Select all

You are already married to the daughter of Tzogos's governor!

Your current marriage will be declared null and void (divorce) but keep in mind that your current wife won't take this lightly!

Are you sure you want to propose to this one?
Yes, I am sure! I need a new wife! | No, no! I changed my mind!

There is no need for such a card.

Add to the recipe that player A is abdicates or never ever becomes king in the first place. Re danger manipulation I could have sworn captain jack gave someone a slap on the wrist for purposefully losing just to give fame to someone else.

Have no beef with captain dungeness. He is an example of a player A but of course it's all theoretical. I like this game because of its underground feel. But it would be a shame that it could be "beaten" in the outlined manner just because of certain imbalances. Games are just games but really, a thousand ships sailing about the seas under pirates noses isn't that conceivable, at least to me.

There is a built in cap that IS being exploited. Capt D is by far the most prominent, but he isn't alone either. It easy to calculate exactly how much money will be lost before the fame cap stops any further attacks, making attacking the player impossible.

This would be just fine if it was shielding newer players, but it isn't it's shielding long term 4 digit players that are deliberately exploiting a bit that wasn't even designed for them.

i dont think the rule should be removed, i think the rule should be modified to take into account how it affects larger accounts.

long time no post, figure i might as well say my part here.

[Brazzler]

I agree with Maj.

Yes you can divorce them but they still give you fame just for knowing them. The lowest a person's relations can go is 1% and 1% still gives you fame, trust me I know.

strong smell of sour grapes in this thread : so, a player figures out, within the rules (cos there isn't one that says you MUST gain fame and keep it), how to minimise risk : well, knock me down with a feather : cos no-one else ever tries to minimise risk ; not the ones who stick cutter10 tails on their capital ship fleets, or the ones who keep their gold so low, its not worth the repair bill to hit them, or the ones who sneakily tick the auto-stop on danger box when setting up a trade route : Man up, figure out a way to hit the guy, he'll make a mistake one day, everyone does sooner or later, then go kill him ; just dont whine so loud cos you cant figure out how.

If you have any ideas Danik then I am all ears.

[Most Lee Harmless]

there is a solution, but not my job to tell you that on;, figure it out ; its blindingly simple.

[Brazzler]

Your just saying that because you don't know. The great and powerful Danik Renoir has no clue what to do. What a disappointment...

[Most Lee Harmless]

Tell you what, I'll sell you the answer : but give it away for free?..nah...

edit : 'great and powerful' ? Okay, you get the job, I need a new PR agent...
