Well port blowing was not the issue with me...as blowing ports for whatever reason is in the game.The issue was that the corp that responding to the port blowing (well actually that was an after thought to cover up info sharing as they showed up brfore the port was blown) did not show up to attack the corp but to protect the other corp. Therefore such actions result in megacorping. If megacorping is to be allowed then simply leave the corp member limit set to unlimited and we can all round up peeps. So lets not confuse the issue or pretend what happened didnt. You let everyone know your playing for a stalemate SG but your not going to get one...once you and your corp are gone from the game their might be one.

 
Parrot you so silly!!! You know what happned when they showed up??
I ptorped them! heh,,,
It is kinda funny though....Kewls team gets hit while they were guarding our planets they just took..Sams corp shows up and
everyone says it was me who gave you up to the other 
Then you guys are invading and kewls corp shows up  and again im the one who gave them information??
LOL u know other then the port getting killed my team hasnt shared any info . PERIOD  this is funny  maybe kewls and sams team should get together and figure out who told who what.,..
Then when they BOTH find out they can all apologise....heh.....

Megacorping can be defined in as many different ways are there are players in the game.  If you don't kill someone for any reason, whether it be you don't want to change alignment, don't have the resouces, etc, is that megacorping?  If you communicate with another corp and make a pact not to attack each other until the end of the game.  Is that megacorping?  You explain to me what megacorping means and I'll guarantee you that someone will tell you that you are wrong.
 

Silly parrot.....Think before you post....

Blowing port, it might be "unethical" but it is part of the game and everyone has used it from time to time, their for has changed from the "unwritten rule" to an acceptable policy and should be used if its to your advantage.

As far as Parrots comments, How many times have we been hit hard by Kewls corp? alot, heck they took what 3 of our almost mobiles when you guys showed up. And their first reaction was we told them. We megacorped. in fact we didn't do anything, now that we blew a port to help save our Butt's you guys cried megacorping. At no time did we ask them to come save us or even come attack you, they did what they did on their own. Zark lost his turns becaouse of it too, thxs to us. We are in it to play a game, and win. I am still wondering on either situation how we megacorped? Both teams have said it many of times, and both teams know that we havn't done it with them.
So please explain! or just change the facts around and keep whining and *****ing becaous you can't take out a corp that has been down 2 people from the beginning of the game.. LAFF

I rest my case.  Megacorping is unenforcable either by the sysop or by any other means.  Why have a rule that can't be enforced.  That is exactly why I won't play truce games.  I don't care how you lay out the rules, they can't be enforced effectively and it will lead to major disagreements to even try to enforce the rules.
The bottom line is megacorping and fair play is basically enforced by the player himself/herself by what extent they are willing to go to without compremising thier ethics.
 
 

I would just ICQ a enemy corp member and offer up the location. Possibly blow a port also if girls like parrot were playing who cry mega corp if they lose.   its NOT mega corping.. its info sharing. As long as every corp wants to win then they should info share if it suits them.... you cant stop it so stop pretending like everyone doesn't do it.. including you sammy and all the hero's you mentioned. Everyone needs to stop crying and just accept that if it can be DONE in the game of tradewars then it is fair game!

Need I remind everyone that as it was pointed out to me: Mega-corping only happens if there is an exchange of resources or assets. Exchanging information isn't the same thing because it is intangible while resources and assets are tangible.

Cerne

I agree with that Cern. But even sharing assets could be part of the game.   Lets say someone asks me for 500k and they will repay me 750k back. As a business man why wouldn't i take that? I risk not geting paid back but that is on me.   

I think the standard should be.. As long as every corp wants to win the game then its not mega corping.. perhaps make a no stalemate policy untill one corp is standing to assure eventually all corps fight.   

 
they attacked you...we attacked them...and this charge holds water how?
You were many hours gone before we showed up so it was never a 2 on 1 corp issue. How did I find the sector in question. Simple...Vic grids..Vic stops gridding.....They invade......hmmmm...go to Vics last fighit and look around....took me 5 minutes.

exactly my point, you yell megacorping when it doesn't go your way, just like them... Even though it never happened.

SG doesnt want to win. he is playing for a Stalemate so comments dont apply to situation.

We didnt get hurt so that comment doesnt work Bait and our dominance of the game from day 1 doesnt help your cause on the whining issue so lets stick to theory on the issue.
If megacorping is fair play dont have corp size limits..its all good for me.

hmm Parrot didn't you say you guys would settle for a stalemate if SG's corp was knocked out??? hmm seems to me your not doing anything different.

LAff go back and read your first post in this thread Parrot.. You started off whining that we were megacorping, hell your corp just made a port today saying we are too. So why are you now saying the oppisote of your first port, come on make up your mind already!!!

Ok, it seems that my point has been made for me.....rules written or unwritten it doesn't really matter, we all know right from wrong or should?)

I refer again to ETHICS and GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, those are codes that are not written down but should have been learned.

And just because some else did it or does it does not make it right is my point.
