Mars Dollar Dumping option

[AntSquirly]

and maybe we can toss out our upgrades, too!

anyways, give the guy a break...at least he attempted to make a suggestion

acually thats not a bad idea if a person was about to cash out he could toss(or sell) his upgrades for all the members of the alliance to regain all of his settlements, and noone but the alliance would know until that day

toss out and selling are totally different...

As for selling upgrades, it has been brought up before

Now this is a good idea.....
THe person could toss as in gift his upgrades to another person.....maybe like 2 upgrades tossing = 1 upgrade gaining and that supose the person who u are giving the upgrade need the  lvl 19 one.....u will need to toss ur lvl 19 & 20 upgrade...ie u will bcome lvl 18.

THen it wont be such a loss if u incash out and no one can just give all his upgrades to various people and get them all back later.....

 ... well this would certainly lend a real meaning to *alliance* ...

This would also probably be abused like no other...

Maybe an option allowing a player to just throw away their unwanted Mars Dollars for whatever reason they have?

 ... the other night i had an idea, instead of cashing out for real money, why couldn't we cash out our MD's for moves, say 100 MD's for 1 move, so 1000 MD's would get us 10 moves, and our stats could go down one level. This would work out well for Eric, and his inflation problem, give us something to do with our over abundance of MD's. and keep everyone in the game ...

 ... well thats a fair exchange, but since no REAL dollars are coming out of the game treasury, why should a player have to lose so much, just to get a few moves? If a player is still going to lose stats and settlements, they might as well go for the gold ... Losing one level is realistic, losing half, isn't; ya gotta give, in order to get, and the only one giving here is the player ...

no a player cashing out can toss half upgrades early(instead of them getting cut after the payout)  for the alliance to pick up his settlements

 ... all well and fine, however, that was not the point i was trying to make ...

what I would be worried about is people making multiple accounts, making an alliance, then using those multiple accounts to beef up one account...

Of course, they will be caught and would've wasted thier time since they won't get away with it, but what about the damage they do to players around them that aren't as beefed up as them?


That is the problem with cheaters...

I'm trying to wrap my brain around this one. So you are saying that the upgrades are used by the alliance before the cashout & are tossed away when cashout happens. But, upgrades are lost at the same time that the settlements are released. So how is this benefical? I think that I'm totally missing something here.... enlighten me, please!

I think the point is to transfer the settlements to alliance members that aren't cashing out so that they aren't set free. The whole upgrades thing is just a convoluted way to do that.

An easier way is to give a player the option to transfer their settlements to another player. But I think anyone not a part of the alliance would think it's unfair, as cash out is the only chance a lot of weak players have to get any settlements.

Isn't that what the "ruins" are? I've gotten motherloads already and figured that's what was left of another member.

no ruins are put in the game, they arent broken settlements
