Thread: Inactive Rule [petition]
/no sign
If the houses are stuck in my city until the maint. runs out then they should count as residents. Explain to me again why a person needs to log in every 6 weeks to keep residency yet it is perfectly acceptable to run 300 harvestors from one account by using cross server trading? If residents have to log in every so often, then ALL structure owners should including harvestors.

All I ask is to be given some sort ofcourtesy that you would grant anyone in this game and not **edit** all over my thread. I asked for you to sign if you agreed. I dont mind a debate but being blatantly disrespectful by trying to belittle my petition with your half wit NO SIGN post is inappropriate. I understand that you are frustrated but do not take it out on the rest of the community as you are no better then those you preach against.

Please do not presume my intentions as you have never met me. I dont mind debate, if you dont like the inactivity rule go ahead and state your mind. The NO SIGN post provide nothing, no information other then that person wont sign the petition, what does that accomplish? All it is doing is spamming this thread, if you dont agree with the petition at least take the time to write out why and not just run in write a NO SIGN post and run out, what the hell is that about? It adds nothing to the debate, absolutely nothing.
"If I am going to lose residents because they haven't logged in to the game in a certain amount of time, then the guy down the street shouldn't be able to have a 300 lot harvestor farm going either. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, rules should apply to everyone, not a select few."
Did I miss something in the game? Is there some sort of residency requirement to put down harvesters? What does residency have to do with harvesters?

I would never wish ill or harm on another city. The issue is the caps, not "inactive players".
Neither do I but I am debating the issue, you seem to be debating my and others intentions more then the issue and I do not appreciate it (and I don’t care if you care so just save it). You need to learn some restraint and direct you frustrations where it needs to be and not vent on those you know you have more chances of getting a reaction from then the devs who will ignore you.

You obviously don't read any other posts in this forum. I'd like to point out the thread where CSRs used legitimate power to make sure that SOEs actions did not disturb the players of that city. SOE had to eliminate the particular mayor because of an outside-the-game reason, but doing so would have destroyed the city. So, one of the CSRs stepped in as temporary mayor, to allow the citizens to recover their city. SOE was doing the right thing in covering its customers' fun in this instance. Since it was an arbitrary action by SOE in which they had to delete the current mayor, the city would have been destroyed outside of normal game mechanics.
This event is very controversial, and even those who live in that city have stated that CSR may have acted out of place and no where in SOE policy does it state this is common place policy.
Throughout the thread, the pirahna were sharpening their teeth, decrying the saving of a city, regardless of the particular reasons why that city was saved.Few really cared about what or whom or why. They just wanted a city above them to fall, no matter the reasons.
This is a gross generalization. I wish no ill on other cities as I have said 10 billion times before, high rank cities and low ranking cities should BOTH be given equal chance in the competition a city 4 or 5 has an advantage of course as they have a disposition to recruit newer citizens. At least it is easier for them then a lower ranking city to recruit more citizens. Do not impose this view of the “piranha” on those who are just seeking a way to rise up in city ranks in accordance with current game mechanics. If I wanted to cause you harm I would try and bribe everyone of your citizens to move to my city or cause you some other grief, Im simply working with the current game systems. I am indifferent as to the fate of your city, this is a game with some level of competition but in any healthy competition I of course want to rise above, as ANYONE would, because you would be on the losing end of course you view yourself as in some higher morale standing then everyone else.
Imagine the celebrations that would happen if, say, through a glitch in the database, a Rank4 city's City Hall on some server got deleted? "Aww, that's the game for ya. Now some city that deserves more than you did can move up" would be the response from the Rank 3's, from the attitude that's been posted here. And the pirahna would feed and celebrate cuz someone, somewhere moved up a rank. And if it wasn't them, they'd be sure to keep their teeth sharp and ready.
That is a ridiculous assessment as there has been NO reference in this post as to those sorts of situations, we have been referring to citizens inactivity, how is someone not playing this game for more then a month a glitch? Explain that to me please. If you lost your city hall or rank due to a glitch then I would be the first to support you keep your rank and city.
Yes, it is a competition. And from what I've seen it's the most bloodthirsty competition yet in SWG. In PvP at least you can clone, heal your wounds and move on, and all you've lost is your buffs. Here in PvP (politician vs politician) it's much worse. And to top it all off, no one says "GG" afterwards either
They say "I'm glad you fell. Now *we've* got a shuttle".Who has said that? Give me some examples? When did I ever say that? When has anyone ever said that? I guess this is just an expected part of any competition, attempt to demonize the other players to make your position stand on higher ground.
