Changing the percentage rate after a certain amount of gold isn't a good idea either, people will just transfer part of their gold to their alts to get out of paying a higher tax rate.
i say execution for tax evasion

Posted in war never changes... but is it fair? • 31st July 2020, 02:01 PM

let's take a look at the balance between evil and good during these past few months, and discuss below if you're into that.
i'll list advantages/disadvantages with explanations. if something is incorrect let me know.



evil
advantages
  • small limitation of bots
    most evil bots are able to respawn on their own without a user coming online to type commands. the limit of ground-level bots (like orcs or goblins) is 1000. more powerful bots (like cavetrolls) have a limitation which is more strict, however they are still able to respawn on their own, unlike "good" bots.
  • balrogs
    balrogs are impossible to kill. if evil spawn these bots, they will absolutely win the war unless specifically turin comes online to kill them. statement from damen: "Balrogs are meant to be unrivalled. They require Turin himself to wipe them out." the good side do not have anything like this.

disadvantages
  • less players on this side
    the default alignment of the oldcp userbase is "good" because the empire, which controls the majority of the game, is considered good.
  • administration is inherently good
    evil players are only armed through create request or pythas himself.



good
advantages
  • more players on this side
    although there is a declining number of oldcp users overall, there will always be more players siding with "good" rather than "evil." this does not mean that all good users will assist in wars, but users must make the conscious decision to switch sides if they want to support evil.
  • administration is inherently good
    most roles which grant rank 5 are part of the southern empire (i.e. emperor, empress, emperor helper), which makes administration inherently good. although admins will attempt to be fair to both sides, there will always be an undeniable bias towards the good side. for example, "good guys" are often rearmed as much as necessary during wars by the southern leaders, whereas "bad guys" must wait for sentry or pythas to come online, which can take days or weeks.

disadvantages
  • "god is dead"
    the good guys have no direct contact with any extremely powerful force. evil users are able to contact pythas through other characters such as zaboth or sentry. the good side are less likely to receive strength, health, force push, etc. unless they are chosen as a prophet.
  • heavy bot limitations
    good bots continue to be reduced and nerfed. users must be online to respawn bots after they die.



i listed the very basics that i could think of off the top of my head, but surely there are more advantages and disadvantages to consider. what do you think, though? do these difference make a balanced fight?

i swear this is your second quitting post this week

on a real note though, i do worry about you and i think you should seriously take some time away. i've talked a lot about how oldcp can blur the lines between "characterization" and real life emotions. it's unhealthy when you get too immersed in it and i'm glad you've realized that. if you need my help at all let me know, i can put you on requested BOS for a few weeks or something if you think that will help.
