I don't think I like the idea of faction beeing almost immortal much: I lost the first faction I joined and a couple faction I created, but the risk, and having to destroy other people factions, made the game interesting. |
The problem is that ched is doing a balancing act trying to make everybody happy. This latest proposal seems to be a pretty good idea because factions will be able to put a bit of hurt on each other without any major hurt, while at the same time shutting up those who complain about having their boring factions deleted.
All they will be able to complain about is being hospitalized, and that's a non-complaint because this is an attack game. If you don't like being attacked, you really really need to play a game that doesn't involve attacking.
Sorry guys, but that's the way of it. Can't complain about being attacked or hospitalized if you want to play torn. If being hospitalized is a problem, might I suggest one of those games young girls play where they put makeup on the latest girl celebs to help them find their dream boyfriends?

Why always changing rules?.
I do visit forums, go everywhere, and never understand a better way to earn money but chaining, so now in a peaceful one, there will be no task for thinking how to make $$$.

We were waiting for this for a long time. Seems this change will make all the sleepy factions active and alive. Big or small every faction should get benefits from this new change.
We need this change soon:@
Thanks chedburn

Sounds good in theory but larger more powerful factions will always figure out a way to pick on smaller factions. My vote would be to allow some way for factions to "test the waters" , allowing them to stay in peaceful mode for a while, and allowing them to gradually move into warring mode.
If the changes go as planned, it sounds like a great plan.

Despite the many colorful suggestions as to why Peaceful Faction members don't want Peaceful Status removed, it's not because Peaceful Faction members-
1. Wear Dresses, Skirts, Blouses, Purses, Panties, etc.
2. Over-menstruate (as suggested by Ninja and those of such ilk).
3. Plan and/or attend Slumber Parties, Tea Parties, Baby Showers.
4. Play with dolls.
5. Throw out their dummies and toys from the pram, crib, etc.
- That they object to any change removing Peaceful Status. It's because Peaceful Faction members tend to play Torn City on a more 'compartmentalized' basis than do members of Aggressive Factions. Peaceful Faction members are typically people who play the game on a more insular or 'individualized' basis and have less time (and generally less desire) to play Torn City with the sort of 'social networking focus' necessary to wage war effectively. Despite the many blithe arguments as to the minimal time requirement that Chedburn's proposed warring system will require, Peaceful Faction members remain highly skeptical because warring in the Torn City thus far has been a time and RESOURCE consumptive activity.
It's been remarked (accurately, I believe) that Peaceful Faction members in general do not wish to work as hard as Aggressive Faction members. Recognizing the generally lesser amount of time and energy that Peaceful Faction members spend on and in Torn City, it seems logical that they seek to avoid a game direction that steers them steadily towards the more intensive social networking, reconnaissance, spying, and email (and now chat window) communication warring tends to bring. Another practical reality of warring is that one logs in much more frequently to white Hospital screens. As many Peaceful Faction members have the generally lower resources commensurate with their lesser playing duration and intensity, frequent white screens can be financially insurmountable- the player simply cannot afford the medical items necessary to 'syringe-out' of the Hospital. Thus far, the generally lesser resources of Peaceful Faction members has brought the jackass bray demand that they should 'get off their asses and do something about it'. Tellingly, the wellspring of such wardog cathexis assumes that at some basic level Peaceful Faction members WISH to invest this sort of time and intensity into Torn City.
The typical elite players of Torn City are very vocal members of Aggressive Factions. I think only a fool questions that the 'best' and strongest players in Torn City TEND to be members of Aggressive Factions. That being said, the majority of players in Torn City are neither Asgardian-level elite players nor are they members of Aggressive Factions. Nor is the typical Torn City player particularly vocal. For a variety of reasons that include ennui and fear of retaliation, most Peaceful Faction members avoid posting on such controversial subjects as systemic Warring change. Yet if one cares to pay attention, the will and choice of the Silent Majority of Torn City players over the last few years has been Peaceful Faction Affiliation. A legion of wardogs barking in unison, hosping any who dare to speak out against being forced into Aggressive Status, will matter little as the Multitudes of Torn City players silently begin their Inevitable Exodus back to Faction Unaffiliated, rather than be forced into warring status that they DO NOT DESIRE.

Nice post silence. As a member of a peaceful faction I have to agree with you. But I am ready for war its been a couple years of being peaceful for me. But at the same time I do not log in much and cannot be counted on for when I need to chain another faction. Real life stuff=#1. Torn City=doesn't really matter.

Peaceful status
With this system, there is no need for it at all. You don't have to war anyone if you don't want to. Big factions who pick on you, will gain very little, and you will lose even less. It's impossible for your faction to die unless the opposing faction is willing to go out of it's way for weeks, at no benefit to itself, just to kill it."
______________________________
Does this mean you will be getting rid of peaceful status? You don't specify, you say there's no point in it, but will it actually be removed from the game?

I think there should be a new faction design so it doesnt just have the name, image, respect and specials, naps, then description i think it should all look more interesting and not just going down.

I personally think that peaceful status should remain as an option to all who wants to be in peaceful factions. Some people just hate to watch at white screen and not being able to do anything else in TC while in hospital, except reading forums.
From the other side aggressive factions should be given much more reasons to exist. I mean on more respect gain while chaining and much better gain from special upgrades and some more advantages that could make peaceful factions actually wish to become aggressive and enjoy the benefits. |
