The game is dead. The smart ones are the ones that retired already. Good luck to you guys.

I barely just came back! People were saying the same fluff when Jolt took over, how long ago was that? It can still be a fun waste of time.

This says it all. The game continues in the absense of popular players no matter what else happens. :)

I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!

When are the bots going to be implemented like they have been on other servers?

bots are still under testing, not in public use.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

LadyGrizz boobies is fine

NOW3P: Morwen is a much harsher mistress than boredom....

I am pretty sure there is about 15 untagged bots.

sequential country numbers, similar non-sensical 2 word country names (http://www.eestats.com/alliance/country/368 for example.. look at other untagged around that country #, there is a pattern)

In express they are just as easiliy identified as well. They always run all their turns, stockpile tons of cash, similar names/#s, etc etc

now im nothing

lol. Cut the blood supply and hope the heart beats itself to death. The river runs until it's dry
But Qzjul spitting water into it's mouth to keep it alive. Bots. Amazed there is even this many players left/came over. I was really hesitant when everything went kapoot that one set and then learned it would be reborn again. Ah well, 17 years later of earth what can you do with a text game in this day and age.

less defined as days go by. Fading away well you might say I am losing the focus. Kinda drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

how does it hurt more Marshal?

25 buildings for example CI, produces 64 turrets in 1 turn * 3000 turns in a set = 192,000 turrets = 115k nw

if i lose 25 buildings on turn 100 it hurts my country more than 25 buildings lost on turn 1000 since early its extra cost (less money early) and time spent on rebuilding and possibly exploring (depending bpt) and later 25 buildings is drop in ocean.

I doubt there'll will be an earthquake destroying only 25 buildings at turn 1,000 unless you stay as a 2k land country.

He missed the point. I'll take the earthquakes early. Losing 500 buildings late is much more crippling

Marshal

Jan 10th 2015, 2:54:55

in ffa where i get my eqs those vary between ~20 and 100+ buildings lost and my countries are above 15k acres.

edit: i'd too take all eqs between turns 200 and 300 but that won't happen.

Bots are already running in Alliance Server, will it be implemented here?

Bots in Primary should retal with missiles/harmful ops/attacks when DTed. :)

Ya but you have to hit that guy back. If you don't it sets a precedent for other potential topfeeder n00bs who may think since you didn't hit him back you may not him them back.

That's why I hit him... Such a waste of units and a day. Maybe I shoulda SS'd instead. Lol

I think people are sleeping on the vlue of ss here generally. There is a lot to be said for having your jets ready to go again.

SS is better on that case, you'll still get 400 to 500A from him, and do 5PSes for the day. :)

Just my opinion though. :D

Unless you are farming people really 5 PS a day is more than enough with this few players I think.

I know ka Mac, that's why I said it. Especially for a statement hit like that. I just played at the wrong moment and quickly rushed through without any thought. On a positive note... At least my tech building has gone ok this round. Besides that one rushed error, things have been good so far.

Koh, please advise me on how I can avoid the game of jeopardy. I'm not good with trivia and would like to avoid it if possible.

Thanks. :-)
