Anyway this thread should be locked becuase it's against the rules to complain about the mechanics, should you feel like you're right (LOL) email the devs; support@athinkingape.com
I don't think you guys get that this isn't a "omq i got silenced thats so unfair qqqqqqqq pls make it stop qqqqqqqq" thread. I'm not complaining, i had an inappropiate status and got silenced. i don't really care about that and i barely war at all. i'm trying to discuss the influence the silence has on war. a silence shouldn't give you a DIRECT disadvantage. Thats not the purpose of a silence. Yes, "saving" the other warring people may be right but is it right to do that at the cost of giving them a direct disadvantage in wars? I don't think so. You can't just disable war for silenced people either cause that'd give them a competitive disadvantage, especially when those people are silenced for a long time but not permanently. If you guys want to say "hurr durr don't get silenced" just leave the thread, this is supposed to be a discussion.
So your asking devs to tighten the silences to add broken broken sword to it also. that is noble of you and i agree why should 14 other kingdoms suffer because you break the rules.
