OP:

EIR lets us traverse the Phantasy by allowing us to overidentify (to the point of absurdity) with the Real. Like other works of absurdity, EIR doesn't show what reality is (atleast not directly) but rather takes the false images present in the Phantasy and caricatures them. This reveals the inherent contradiction between the real real and the Real allowing us to catch a glimpse, even if just for a moment, of truth or reality. Absurdity shatters the foundations with which the false images are built on by showing them as they truly are; false. At that point the only proper response is laughter. To see the ideals (the Symbolic) on which our life is based to be ethereal lies leaves us with nothing. There is no other proper response.

EIR is a game built on top of code and numbers. Like every game it has an optimal strategy which destroys the nature (or spirit) of the game, but finding which is technically the object of the game. So often we delude ourselves that our fellow players will play to the "spirit" of the game. Yet, that is only a delusion, as you now know. Yet, we players keep playing. Like the absurd hero who rolls the rock up the mountain every moment of existence,

One must imagine EIR players happy.

 They are only beginning to understand what you and I have known for eons Masacree.... EiRMod is actually Samuel Beckett reborn.

Every time we allow people start a new company with PPs, your always going to have that handful of asshats that get board and create bullshit companies on a whim because they can bypass the PP sink. We did this for the campaign and also before with end war testing and it nearly killed the mod.

Everything is being restructured by the warmap so just sit tight and Try Not to Piss Eachother OFF

To clarify, I was talking about spam coys, not spam call-ins. Spam call-ins you deal with, whatever, lose some units, bring counters etc. I'm talking about spam coys that are 90% of 1 thing and once you've exhausted those counters... you're done.

Everybody has weighed in their two cents, even got some epistemological perspectives (i'm not a relativist, sorry), so I consider it /endrant. If nothing else this drew out many true colors in the community, and I'm glad to have that better defined.

Good luck with warmap.

Sounds like we need some logical positivists up in hur.

In the future companies will quickly RUN OUT of a unit type if they keep spamming it.

Theres not going to be any oversupply - in otherwords, no spending PP to purchase OVER the reserve.

Theres going to be the weapon cache pool - which will be for upgrades (and some units I guess) which will cost pool points.
Some upgrades will also pull from the current normal pools (Like +1 Inf for RRs)

Even so, people can still bring those nasty Spam starts.. here are some ideas for how to avoid getting crushed by them.

This can turn out so cool! Lost your KT? now you have to wait 5 games until you can buy a new one

[BigDick]

like omg mod?

if not - to remove oversupply does not change much

last time i played eir i had 4 types of units in my company without paying any pp for oversupply

and there was no variations in terms of e.g. storms with shreck and storms with mp44

Read it again and again until you understand it.

[BigDick]

i would understand the named system ("Theres going to be the weapon cache pool") like a copy of OMG mod

[Mysthalin]

It didn't state that it would be like the OMG system anywhere .

OMG doesnt price pool costs differently based on whether or not you have a set of RR on a squad, you can still buy the same amount of AB.

That said if you go look at OMG pool costs they are VERY strict atm

The new system will have this - and you wont be able to oversupply at all
