This is troubling. Very troubling. This yet another example of TE/BV taking this community in the absolute wrong direction.
Of course, this thread will probably be locked or 'disappeared' by tomorrow. What a $#@!ing joke. Why use ASGS for its original purpose when you can SO MUCH MORE? right?
So admins ban stackers now?

They have the balls to do something controversial.
Respect that, and at least see how it goes.

all drama eventually calms down.
i'm just going to carry on as normal, and will probably be totally oblivious to it, and i may only be reminded of it on my periodic inspection of the banlist... i didn't know OMB tried to circumvent the account linking
... it might be kinda funny to make a new account that is un-linked and join a newb stacked side as a (0) and whore some vets who think the (0) is easy prey /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />
IMO, BV/TE are targetting the people that wait for a newbie/less-experienced player to join a team before joining a team that is already up on the skills department.
That being said. I've made a welcome addition to my sig. If it's time to go, it's time to go.

Thanks madp.
People are throwing @#(! into the fan when there is really no need. It's messy already.

You guys are getting pretty ban happy. I'd suggest reminding yourself that it's a game. Banning stackers is extremely subjective.
Not much I can do about it, though, since the admins have given themselves complete control over the community in every regard. It's basically a dictatorship, which is fine since this is just a game, but even in a game, people who get power only want more power. You'll start banning for blatant stacking, then things will move towards banning for stacking in general, then banning for attempted stacking, banning for attempted mutiny, banning for trash talking, banning for not nanning, banning for any number of things. It won't stop, cause you guys have no real reason to stop.
There are other solutions to these problems, but increased reasons to ban people will lead to dissatisfaction with the game and with people leaving. It's very unhealthy for the community, but you guys do what you want... like I said, not like I can stop you. You obviously have put yourself in a position where you will not be argued with, and where you are right 100% of the time, so I'm sure you'll respond to this post by either ignoring it or by restating that you are banning stackers with a firm hand.
