So why could you just mail everyone saying you can now use sat / quit accounts how you want in stead of making us search through things?
you say your trying to help the game get better, but the new rules that everyone should know are never in plan English.
To me most of the time the rules are change because so many people don't like the way the rules are.
If you did a poll and found out how many people new about the new rule change about suiciding troops, Because I didn't, hence my first post.
TW staff have lots of things to think about but as a player and one that pays to play maybe the TW staff need to see the big picture, we pay to play and there for we should have the ultimate decision about the rules, what they should be or not be?
[th]You're welcome to suggest a better wording of the rules. Just send a ticket or private mail. Sadly we gave the community exactly this option for roughly two weeks in this forums, whilst we overhauled the rules. Though people rather spammed the threads instead of helping to find the correct wording. If they are still not understandable, why didn't we get more input back then when there was a chance for it?
And actually the rules weren't completely changed. If a player in the past (before all those re-wording/changing) asked his sitter to suicide his troops, because he will quit, then it was allowed. Yet - and this was one of the reasons, why we had to clarify things - if such a player in fact was a spy from another tribe, he just came back, reported the sitter for abuse of his account and then we punished the sitter. This is just one possible scenario, which we've tried to stop. If a player states that he quit, the sitter cannot get punished anymore for his actions as a sitter. And he can do with the troops, whatever an owner would be allowed to do. Suciding against unwanted targets included. That's the whole idea behind it.
As for the poll: Never think that the "loud" opinion of the forums is the one of the majority ingame. There were such polls in other versions, which exactly showed, that the rules had to be clarified and adjusted to their actual form. People tend to go into the forums to complain, if they are not satisfied - rarely, very, very rarely they come to the forums to say "Yes, the rules are correct", although latter may be the majority. So the big picture about the "community's opinion" can not be taken from the public forums.
An example here in the UK version was something, which surprised us as staff as well: A vast majority of players love archer worlds, paladins and items. Although it doesn't appear like this, if someone is reading the forums.[/th]
