Re: Well done Ult

jelle, Zotnam, you're both missing the point.

I understand exactly what you're saying but you're not acknowledging that the majority of players want (need?) to be able to sleep at night. These players aren't going to stick around for long when they wake up most mornings to find that they have undefended incs. Under the "old style" DC regime they'd at least see that someone had tried to cover them.

Personally, I always stay awake all night to DC my own incs but only because that's the only way I can get cover. Even then I've lost over 1500 rocks this round due to lack of activity in the rest of the alliance If it wasn't for my gal-mates I'd have lost far more.

What I'm trying to say is that I should be the exception rather than the rule. A game that demands its players disrupt their lives if they want defence is doomed to perish - and we've been seeing that happen for many, many rounds.
