I don't really agree with either side on this - one says ruby moons spoil the game, the other says we need better ruby moons.

IMHO there is a balance between the fleeter and their target. Make the moons too cheap and too big, then the balance shifts too much in favour of the defender. Remove ruby moons (or big moons) entirely, then like King says nobody is safe. Personally I think the balance is ok as is on most of the servers.

In addition, MDs are slow and very vulnerable to a ninja. Ppl don't tend to risk a lot of RIPs unless they have seen a fleet. And remember there is the chance of a backfire - I have seen it happen, 5k RIPs disappear (my only complaint about that was there was no df, as I recall, now that would have been sweet!!).

Ways to fleetsave even if you have no ruby moon - 1) keep your fleet hidden and don't let anyone find it 2) FS to a 9.9 inactive or alliance moon.

When someone starts speaking about real life investments... what can I say? Guys, buying rubies is not an investment. If you want to invest, I strongly suggest to look to other ways to do it.

For an admin to suggest this is probably not good business sense.

The choice of wording, "investment", probably not the best description, but still relevant. Players still enjoy playing Zorg. The whole point of a ruby moon is to have it both instantly appear AND to be of sufficient size as to be safe. Why else would they be the sizes stated??? You glossed over that when replying as quoted by me here. In fact the whole statement above is disregarding any points previously raised, as per usual. A change of subject to suggest how else you can spend your money does not adequately reply or address any previous comments.

Ruby moons are BIG! For what other reason then to be safe? An answer would be nice, but not expected. The history of the forums suggest this. Any poster should not be too expectant of an answer or indeed, even a reply.

Expecting a reply from an administration to everything you write, is unrealistic. That's a massively multiplayer game. There are 122,000 posts in these forums alone. Add to these many private messages and emails per DAY to understand with what we are dealing as administration.

Lol, you can reply to these few posts, but when replying to these few posts then you still gloss over the questions and points raised because it doesn't suit. lol. Two times you have replied but ignored any points raised. It's a case of selective answering. If you HAD been too busy then you wouldn't have replied twice.

So, picking and choosing what you want to reply to. Okay, enough said, or not as the case may be when it comes to Zorg. If somebody has a point and there is nothing that Zorg can say when it comes to any points raised because they disagree. Rather then put forward an argument for the case it's, nah, we're too busy, too busy because we have NO ARGUMENT.

Okay. The lack of adequate answers to queries raised does, in itself speak volumes.

I am always selectively reply because I do not bother with every thing. Just because you or anyone else think that something is important, this does not mean I share the same opinion. If you want to persuade me of the importance, at least get more people claiming the same. I filter through the important things ONLY.

I always speak with arguments. Even in these two posts, I explained my stance with arguments.

Well, there you go, lol.

The bets are in!

You have unwittingly answered with the reply I told others you would. Predictable but fun, nonetheless. Thanks for proving me right!

Hate to agree but Zorgs post above says it all.....not even an ounce of diplomacy
