Yes, or some of them middle easterners. I don't think they worship the christian gods... alternatively some of them people from asia that haven't been converted by the christian missionaries that traveled east during the great crusades.

Seriously though. Don't get attacked isnt the solution. The solution is 'have people there to defend'. You have to make sacrifices to have a smaller tighter knit team. One of those sacrifices is not having a solid c,d team that can fill the ranks when some wanna take a break for the holidays.

I say all this with the utmost respect and to add to the context... i have an app in to impswarm sitting and waiting for acknowledgement.

Not my call, but I do like your style. We are only accepting proven AWOXERs at this time though so competition is tight.

Did you know in WWI there was a cease-fire during christmas day. The opposing forces came into 'no man's land' and played soccer. I honestly wouldn't care for a cease fire on christmas. The only problem i see with that is that other countries have different holidays. And ww2 there was only killing in christmas and any other holidays,you dont have to log in game,people has holidays when they are not in game.Use that in your advantage Are you seriously suggesting we should take DUST more seriously than WW2? It sounds like you are matey. If not, why does it matter? If....... 'it's only a game'

If your RL job asked that of you it tends to be AT LEAST double pay. If you consider DUST a job, you should stop playing DUST. It's a game therefore I would absolutely be interested in playing it on Christmas. Since we've deduced the game is no longer fun for you, can I have your stuff?

Everywhere can be flipped in one day by one character. No one sees this as a problem?

Fun Fun Fun Not necessarily, Some would like to spend holidays doing things with their family and real physical friends, rather than to stare blankly at the TV and shoot polygons in the face in a digital world. But if you don't have family/real physical friends, or just don't do anything special for the holidays, then yes, I guess holidays are the best time to play games.

GLiMPSE X Gigolos of the Interwebz 63	Posted - 2013.05.23 06:16:00 - [49] - Quote PROBLEM: Can't open presents without losing mah IG stuffz. SOLUTION: Recruit a significant force that do not celebrate Christmas. PROBLEM: I wanna go ring in the new year in stylez! SOLUTION: Recruit a significant force that do not have friends or the means in which to afford a proper celebration. All trolling aside -- I don't think the game needs to be paused. If you look at how these things typically play out in the 'work force'... You'll have low paid workers sometimes being forced to work mission critical jobs while your high paid workers sit back and enjoy their holiday. If you wanted to translate this over to IMPS situation and glean a solution. You could subcontract low paid, crummy, zerg merc corps to counter attack or defend anyone that threatens your proposed 'cease fire'. It may not get done as well as if you did it yourself, but hey, it doesn't in business either and **** survives. If you want to give added productivity to the scrublords you'll be paying you'll throw some 'on-call' high paid labor as an option...if you can find someone willing to 'pick up the phone' on the holidays.

Oh, wait... I think the solution to this is to give corps a sort of shield device that basically equates to a small number of blackout days that they can use at their leisure. That works too.

AWOX'ing is not something I have the time nor desire -- but 'that's what a spy would say'...amirite?! :-P Some have already pointed out that AWOX'ing is something only the crummy spies will do as it's a quick way to blow your cover. The good spies will gain trust and become director. Games like eve and dust, you can only really trust those you've known before eve. Everyone else you should keep at arms length and a 'need to know' basis. If you take the paranoia too far though you'll end up with a dead corporation that's torn itself apart from the inside pointing spy at every other current/future member. The key is to limit the damage that any one person can do. Security in depth.
