edited for compliance: the original section of this post has been left untouched. The first few sentences of this post are in caps to call attention to the the fact that our voices were not heard the first time around.
the second part of this post (the segment below the solid line) is for compliance reasons only. As only a portion of my post is in capital letters, i have not typed "only in capital letters" and am not in violation of the user agreements of this forum.

Typical that you dont even argue his point but rather reprimand him for the technical error he has made.
What a excellent Mod you are.

maybe because the point is wrong and it is against the rules
so we will simply ignore it
i checked the event tab there is no massacre not yet at least :(
we are on page 5 of a petition to stop this event. how was my point wrong? did Alyona not give the feedback that this event was unwanted? its mind boggling to see that this event is back.
in an effort to not use capital letters and offend the moderator-who-shall-not-be-named i will drop the capitals completely.
it has become pretty clear that plarium has no regard for player opinion and its all about the numbers. alonya commented in another thread that "the numbers showed there was higher participation in the last beacon massacre than there has been in previous events."
i am sure there was, because many people were frantically trying to protect their beacons from the massive armies the mega coiners can field. when there are no repercussions to throwing your entire easily bought army at a beacon, then why not go wild? the effect on the majority of players who are only casual spenders is massive though.
coiners can revive all but 10% of losses from each attack, but non-coiners can not. Attack, revive, and attack again until the non-coiners run out of troops - beacon lost, and no defense troops until after the massacre ends. Free 95% revival at that point means very little when the beacons are gone, and you would have to kill off millions of offense to take them back - without a revival.
The only way to stop the tournament is by stopping all Beacon activity during Massacre. The one Beacon involved on server 2 last time resulted in more Beacon attacks in one day than in a normal month. These statistics prompted Plarium to hold another one. Any activity will cause more Beacon Massacres. Talk to Allies and enemies. Plarium will follow the trail of profit as does every company.Unfortunately, there will always be those who wish to win tournaments, regardless of rewards or costs.in an effort to not use capital letters and offend the moderator-who-shall-not-be-named i will drop the capitals completely.

i'd like to take a survey - how many forum readers would quit the game if your league's beacons were attacked by a coining league, and you lost the beacons due to this tournament?

i read it ( your point suggest that devs always do opposite my opinion is that it is wrong )
also the capitals are against rules how any of that is relevant to being in page 5 of this i dont know
i did not read what alyona edited because i cant so i wont judge there
i actually do disagree with the massacre running again and running again so soon and i pointed it out

they acknowledged the complaints about the flag tournament (they will do improvement no time frame though )
The stupidity of this tourney is that those who don't have what it takes to hold a beacon but have what it takes to take down a beacon flourished. It doesn't matter, they can attack randomly all they lost is 10% of the offense. While the one who holds beacon? They lost 10% of the def, they lost all their effort to upgrade the beacons, they need to retake it again if they want to hold it possibly after they tourney ends. All these will result in beacons being abandoned, obsolete. And this is what plarium wanted apparently so people will flock to fortress..
Thank you for the feedback.

We got no idea who the devs are. It could be a trained monkey or a hamster in a cage for all we know -)
- Does each Plarium game got their own dev team?
If not, how many dev cycles is allocated to each game?
How many coders, gfx artists and so on work at Plarium? How many of these work on like Stormfall?
I'm spiled, With EVE I can attend fanfest, go to dev round tables, talk to devs, ask questions, heck you can even go pubing with the devs and get smashed with them.....
With Plarium they are stoved away in some dark cave, not seeing sunlight :p
