Just to clairify, this new rule means a ten factory nation can stockpile 40,000 tons, a 30 factory nation can stockpile a maxium of 40,000 tons and a 4 factory nation can stockpile a maxium of 16,000 tons?

Um, I'd presumed that it was just equal to the aggregate tonnage produced per year.

For instance:
- 1 factory = 4,000 tons max stockpile
- 2 factories = 8,000 tons max stockpile
- 3 factories = 12,000 tons max stockpile
- 4 factories = 16,000 tons max stockpile
- 5 factories = 20,000 tons max stockpile
- 6 factories = 24,000 tons max stockpile
- 7 factories = 28,000 tons max stockpile
- 8 factories = 32,000 tons max stockpile
- 9 factories = 36,000 tons max stockpile
- 10 factories = 40,000 tons max stockpile
- 11 factories = 44,000 tons max stockpile
- 12 factories = 48,000 tons max stockpile
- 13 factories = 52,000 tons max stockpile
- 14 factories = 56,000 tons max stockpile
- 15 factories = 60,000 tons max stockpile
- 16 factories = 64,000 tons max stockpile
- 17 factories = 68,000 tons max stockpile
- 18 factories = 72,000 tons max stockpile
- 19 factories = 76,000 tons max stockpile
- 20 factories = 80,000 tons max stockpile
- 21 factories = 84,000 tons max stockpile
- 22 factories = 88,000 tons max stockpile
- 23 factories = 92,000 tons max stockpile
- 24 factories = 96,000 tons max stockpile
- 25 factories = 100,000 tons max stockpile

Etc, etc...

But I don't have a problem with capping it, either.

I'm not convinced that vast stockpiles will hurt the game, you still can only build at a certain rate anyway and to build a large group of ships at once you'd have to wait for as long a period as you would just building them when you have the materials.


The only potential for abuse I can see would have been when Clieto was in effect*, or "saving" for when a tech is acceptable.

Currently, I don't see a big potential for abuse, and the remaining time frame is too short to play games with timelines.


*Example would have been waiting for permissable laydown dates on battlewagons and "saving" enough up so you could just build full speed on a bunch of them.

Well I'm fine with no tonnage ceiling, like Kirk said I doubt there is enough time to take a stockpile and use it for some nefarious project.

I'm not certain what proposal we're voting on. SFAICT, we've mainly been discussing which one we want to consider...

Frankly I don't see what the fuss is about, or why the rule is in place. You still can only build so much tonnage, and ships are still limited by building time and slip numbers. So you can either get them now or later. Stockpiling just pushes them back, and really only helps the smaller countries. I am completely in favor of eliminating the rule completely.

RE: Stockpile Rules

Well, there seems to be more acceptance of raising the cap rather than doing away with the rule altogether. Since the discussion seems to be winding down, let me call for a vote.

Quoted

1.1 - If a portion of a factory’s warship materials go unused, they may be carried over and used in future quarters. A country may stockpile materials up to the amount of a year's worth of production.


In other words...

Quoted

- 1 factory = 4,000 tons max stockpile
- 2 factories = 8,000 tons max stockpile
- 3 factories = 12,000 tons max stockpile
- 4 factories = 16,000 tons max stockpile
- 5 factories = 20,000 tons max stockpile
- 6 factories = 24,000 tons max stockpile
- 7 factories = 28,000 tons max stockpile
- 8 factories = 32,000 tons max stockpile
- 9 factories = 36,000 tons max stockpile
- 10 factories = 40,000 tons max stockpile
...etc.

I vote ............. Aye.

In my eyes, small and big countries could live with this compromise.

Don't care, but I won't block your proposal. Make it a neutral.

Appears the voting stands at nine votes aye, two votes present, and no nay votes. If there are no further comments or votes within the next day or two, I'll add the revision into our rules.

I think you can add it to the rules. Please remember to add a comment at the beginning of the rules that the version was raised and the text modified. Raise the version, too.

Thanks.
