Yea they would be happy but it wouldn't be any fun like futurama said above. LG can be profitable but for alot of societys it isn't its mainly about fun and showing dominance over others.

And if you got a rod without firing a shot wouldn't feel like an accomplishment = no satisfaction.

I think the number of lands individual socs won correlates very well with the skills (on different levels) of the players acquiring them.

And of course what Da said, it's a landGRAB, not a landgrabonebutleavetheothersalone.

what u dont think theres more than 19 socs in the game , hell imm sure noobs with opalo and 101's would give it a shot if they new they were fighting medium level socs , if uve got a soc of 50 noobs with opalo doing 1 dmg at a time on some 1 with ghost u wont be standing long . but with u guys uve got ur tango's ect just shooting fish in a barrel which kinda destroys there dreams a tad

Maybe you're being a bit unfair. You're forgetting the low skilled socs and freelancers. They also would like some land

dont think a freelancer would have much chance after a tango runs there

I just find it a bit of a pity that there is yet again one of these threads, about ubers who apparently earn too much...

Everyone who participated with heart, be it high skilled or not, had a lot of fun. It was quite hard work, getting and keeping a LA (strategies that were discussed beforehand, alliences, fighting over 8 hours to get a LA). So, IMHO, everyone that succeeded earned this.

It's easy to forget things that are organized for lower level people, be it from MA itself, or some great EU-people. Perhaps you will say: 'Hey, the 'ubers' can enter too, they walk away with the loot here too!'. How come then that a lot of names I see in global/hoflist are quite unknown??

BTW, the LAs are only in the soc's possession for 6 months. They pay for the fertilizer and maintenance of the LA, it's not only income. To adjust maturity and density of a LA, it can cost up to +2 k ped. Some of the LA don't have superfun mobs, so the income isn't even certain. More over, the income has to be divided between the socmembers (Say there is 150 ped/ day for 10 people.....). There has to be quite some bad ass profit to win a bit of a jackpot :-s...

Oh, and before I get a remark: I didn't get anything out of the LG.

(I see Futurama has somewhat of a same post, but I typed so much allready, I'll post it anyways!)

Same applies to the majority of the socs out there.

Well Dreams are goals. If everyone could compete in lg their would be no point in skilling up and trying your hardest.
To get your dream in life it takes hard work and dedication not something you can do instantly.

It's like you just got out of college for a job, Do you deserve the high paying CEO position over the person who has worked in that field for over 20 years?

No, It is the Same with landgrab it take dedication hard work and time. If you and your society put your mind to it you can get land.

Like I and many others said before ITS FOR FUN!

I recognise the fact that those individuals who have worked hard for their skills & equipment should not be penalised for this.
I also recognise that soc's that chose members only from the above group should not be penalised for this.
You might call these "The best of the best".

What happens in the LG is the above socs pick the best LAs, go for them, and win them in the first 4 hours.
During this time the "best of the rest" have been fighting over the leftovers, and these LA's have changed hands once or twice, until everyone else gives up, and the LA is in the hands of of one of "the best of the rest".
Then the first 4 hours is up, and the "best of the best" come along, and win again.
However I find it hard to come up with a "set of rules" that would make it fair, or prevent the above.

Prevent a soc who won a LA from entering another? Then why help one soc win a LA, if they can't return the favour by helping you win another? Part of the point of LG's is the forming of alliances. "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours."

Set it up so that once a soc has successfully claimed a LA, they can't claim another? What's to stop a soc "Top Guns" splitting into 2? All the members of the original soc turn up at LA1, win it, using "Top Guns Part 1", then make their way to LA2, and win it using "Top Guns Part 2". Then the two soc leaders share out the tax.

In conclusion, i think it is unsatisfactorily that a soc can win more than one LA per LG. I also think there is no way to prevent it.
it's a case of "The system is not perfect, but on the other hand, it is as good as it can be."
