Demosthenes X:I don't see what you're arguing for. The decision has been made, three groups have aleady gotten legal, and more are on the way. Just suck it up, and re-calculate your meters.
No, Ahnk. The staff failed to make the rules clear. The fact that this rule is news to virtually every group at TRF is proof enough of that. Even groups that are led by staff members, such an Anthos and TNO, are just discovering this rule. Groups like VC, that make every effort to stay within the rules, to the extent that they post on TRF's OOC board that they've made an error, are just learning about this rule.
This is the staff's fault, for not making the rules regarding defences clear. There is no two ways about that.

All planetary defenses are built in construction yards and count towards total meter/planet count. Possible defenses are:Basic Rules, rule #1:
All members are responsible for reading and obeying the rules outlined on this page. Those who do not, are doing so at their own risk. Ignorance will NOT be an excuse accepted by the staff, as the Battlegrounds contains a clear warning to read this page.This is obviously not a case of the Staff making a mistake; this is a case where everyone made the mistake.
It's bullshit. And you, having already "gotten legal", are quite obviously biased towards the rest of us loosing those months because you've already done it. But if three groups have "gotten legal", that leaves the majority that have not yet scrapped ships.That's really low, Isstal. Arguably, I was hurt the worst by this discovery. My meter limit is 150,000 meters; I had to drop 130,000 meters worth of ships and defenses, and 400,000 meters worth of mines. You think you're going to be hurt? I had to drop almost half of my solid assets. Be a man about this, and not a winy brat. You screwed up, take the responsibility and deal, sheesh.
You fuck up, We Pay. Where in the world does that logic do anything positive?This is not the Staff's fault. This is 'your' fault, 'your' referring to individual members. You missed the rule, which, while a bit foggy on specifics, clearly states what it means.
