Anti-Suicider Petition

Dear OMAC/JOLT management,
Every round, many players put countless hours of time and effort into making their countries some of the best in the game. Every round, players with malicious intent aim to hurt those exceptional players by stealing their stock and land late in the round, or as it has been termed, suiciding on them.

While trying to ruin a player's country is part of the game, the ability of the suicider to continue to steal stock from their target makes the suicider too powerful and has caused many skilled players to stop playing Earth:2025. The reason for this is when a player makes a Planned or Standard Strike attack they capture a portion of bushels from the defender's country. When someone has hundreds of millions of bushels in their inventory, this allows the suicider to use the bushels to continue attacking others.

Prior to 2006, Guerilla Assaults captured bushels in the same way SS and PS attacks do now. The previous owners then saw fit to alter the game's code to make Guerrial attacks destroy bushels instead of steal them. This limits a suicider's ability to hurt the countries of an entire clan and limits it to only being able to hurt a few countries. Making the same change, changing SS and PS attacks to destroy bushels instead of stealing them, will limit how much a suicider can hurt skilled players in today's atmosphere.

We hope you will consider improving the game for so many players by making this small change,

Thank you,
The undersigned
