[Declined] Buddypack Exhile
Was just in #support and this idea was said - would there be a feature for exhiles as a buddy pack, so if you signed up with 2 friends in a buddy pack then if one of you got exhiled, the other two had a chance to go with them

Re: Buddypack Exhile
I think it would be unworkable.
To exile a buddy group, it would have to exile into another gal with 1 other buddy group. Meaning you'll still exile into a shit gal.

not to mention that you also give away the members of the buddy pack, by 3 ppl leaving the galaxy at the same time and 3 joining the new galaxy, bad from an intel stance, and tbh the buddy pack should be a one shot thing imo.

Re: Buddypack Exhile

Re: Buddypack Exhile
well if u look at it the other way tho, if u paid to play with your buddies, and you end in a bad/inactive/unfriendly galaxy I think you should have the option to exile all 3 of you. This happened to me and my BP last round, and when we all went our seperate ways we landed in different places and couldn't work together on defenses anymore.
I support this conditionally, because it would be hard to exile a BP. Perhaps you could have a waiting list system? When 2 BP want to exile themselves, you could then create a new galaxy. That way you would be free, with like-minded (probably more active) people, but they have the disadvantage of only having 6 planets until exiles start filling their gaps.
Ideas/Suggestions?

I like that idea - however what would happen to the galaxy with just the 1 buddypack in it then? Does it sit, half full, untill another buddypack exiles into it? If we are assuming that exiling buddypacks are active, then wouldnt that just mean that the active buddypack has just exiled into a gal with an inactive buddypack which you've just vacated?
I do like the idea of a 'pending exile' system - the ends still need tying up though .

Re: Buddypack Exhile
I think the BP is a nice one time thing. Now you're in a galaxy together just behave. With all ministers having to agree on exile chances are close to nil that you'll be exiled cause of some sucky GC. If you get exiled you prolly did something to deserve it so think about what you do and what it could lead to for you and your BP.
