Haha....yes im smiling but thats because im a happy person enjoying life. i just came from one angle here. an opinion ...nothing more. im not trying to convince anyone of anything. so remove the stick from your ass turdbuglar and lose your fluffty attitude. fine...i agree recent rule change has no effect on game play. how about just treating other players with a little respect? or is that a crazy idea too?

Lol slag and pang. you rmoved the ability to drop land. you dont think this hinders stock stealing? a run gets from 40k to 100k acres tech levels plummet and spal drops way to much ..include the increase nw of all the land and you aint stealing fluff but you guys know this. this was oyour anti suicide petition brought to life pang. if you dont see how this effects your stock stealing ability its only because you dont want to.

lol ...what the hell slagpit. what does that nonsense supposed to mean? i just offered my opinion. you dont have to agree with me at all. just look at the steady and fast decline in players. try asking them why they quit.

Indeed h4...ive argued the same point since RED was getting flamed for double tapping untagged countries and tags like camelot. the game has changed to the point that there is a total lack of respect to other players that is made more obvious due to the low player base. with declining player numbers its past time to get back to good gaming for all.

suicidimg has been nerfed to the point that you cant really stock steal anymore. what did you noobs think was going to happen once there is no risk farming people? devs made that game change for laf style playing. enjoy getting your asses reamed one small tag at a time =)

Country=country retal is the fluff.
Id play for sure. and you could always dump some stock retal and sell jets away. this is why we have weapons tech mill strat tech and off allies =)

just because someone hasn't played turns to catch up doesn't mean they can't get in range to retal. i mean, why bother getting jets needed to retal a hit when that country is 20+ hits in DR because some retard thinks its better to GS him than let me PS for 1k acres =/

well havoc, some of us have family/work commitments that make playing in the longer servers almost impossible.

for me this is the only server that when i play, i know i'll be able to finish the set.

with how often it resets i wouldn't be surprised if this became the gateway server.

yea, i don't see the purpose of this really.

it's pretty easy to retal for yourself on this server. what makes it hard is when those ABs and GSs start flying and keep a country in DR. thats what has hindered me anyway.

i had the same thoughts on such a server. the biggest thing would be to shake up politics. the game is stale and any changes to the status quo would bring in some fresh air.

i like the idea uticant.

i'd also like to see some changes with starting land. seeing it raised to 1000 acres and a starting bpt of 20 as opposed to 5. increase exploring effectiveness via tech. allow the selling of acres on the public market.

allowing only 1 attack on countries unless you have declared war.

adding oil to the private market. increasing food selling price on the private market.

in short i'd just like to see some actual game changes from what we knew before...don't get me wrong i see some nice stuff getting done. i just want more =)

how would it be overkill when spies barely work as is =p

though on the other side. my SPAL of almost 3 has bounced a good 20 spy ops on me in express. and much to my chagrin i have not yet failed a spy op. first one went through on a dict with 5x my spies and dude even had some spy tech...what a sucker!

in all fairness this is a real server.

it might not have the things you want in a server. a server without alliances. every country for themselves.

believe it or not, there was a time in the prior versions of this game, that even a double tap would have been considered grounds for war. even in alliance, double taps on untagged countries was frowned on and led hostility from other alliances.

remember that everyone playing is a real person and some people don't find it fun to be land grabbed..i know crazy huh.

maybe some formula change to significantly lower the pci of a country thats under x% built, that uses a turn for anything other than building. like 40% built or something. pci kill you after like 20+ turns if you dont build on your empty acres.

something that would discourage this type of land growth anyways. maybe another tweak on ghost acres affecting unbuilt land? lowering ghost acres effected by unbuilt land so much that it's simply not worth to trade land like that. surely something can be done before more people start playing. it just looks cheap =p

seems countries are being made like this, so it must not be that difficult.

it is kinda lame that the best way to get fat is to grab back and forth like that.

maybe mehul was on to something getting rid of the ghost acres?

but i don't see how the above limitations are *that* restrictive

hopefully players understand that limiting the removal of the scarcest resource in the game *from* the game is in the general interest....

understand that but sometimes the people getting suicided deserve it. now there is no way that little country can get some payback. thats all i'm saying, not that i disagree with the new landrop rule. i just expect now that since THE only way someone that gets farmed to hell and back had to get some payback has been removed, that the usual suspect alliances are going to be farming even harder than ever with no fear of any real retribution.

iv'e played that strat on an alliance server. used to be able to get +/-100k acres running turns. though the people that got that deserved it. now there is no leverage or possible way a small country can extract any type pf revenge/payback for being abused.

iv'e been on both sides and understand the reasoning behind the changes but i think things will just become worse for small country/tags now.

op just looks like 800-1200 acres, bunch of spies and tech with 2bill sitting there waiting @ turn 800ish

dude, i rarely open my eyes.

and yet still lots of t10s and a some 1sts .without any top tier netgainer..with raheel being the closest according to you i might add.

ska and theclub were two entirely different groups. with me and raheel, maybe qz as being in both?

what made tehclub so great was the people that joined the planned 3 resets. No, they weren't "top tier netgainers" (only laf players are top tier in your mind it seems anyway =p) but DU and zeus's tag among others that won anw 3 sets in a row without dropping members or any other bullfluff and did exactly what we set out to do.

laf is good but when we played, we beat you guys in both tags hence why i ranked both ahead of you..in MY rankings lol . based on head to head competition.

monks was the same except they never had alot of players in the t10 to begin with.

heh, i call bullfluff on you there ss =p
i was a leader in all of them. a few laf guys played in ska but most of the t10s were..from ska.

nobody from laf was in tehclub. nice you trying to claim tehclubs awesomeness as a laf accomplishment ...poser =p

monks well, yea seeing as laf and umonks shared some members then sure. i'll give ya that one. if you really want to go there lol

sl and titans were ok but didn't have as many of my friends in them =)

so i agree with jatam, more fixing of the spies and less fixing of languages =p

Instead, encourage the community itself to do something about it. It's the community itself that is stagnant, not the game (okay, well the game is stagnant too, but you guys are making changes so it is improving--but the climate and attitude of alliances is what needs to change).

i agree 100% with this.

you fluffing retarded or what?

did you see the state of the game these people played the last couple of years? been here what 2 sets?

this is totally user made for people to play if they like. if you don't appreciate it piss off

You must have really crappy lucky mazooka.

Martian and I did design the formula and there are parameters that we can adjust, but we're still trying to figure out the best way to alleviate the frustration and still keep the act of spying roughly balanced.

I think that next set we'll be slightly increasing the daily number of ops in tourney if that helps.

you're telling me nothing. i know i have bad luck =p

it doesn't make sense to me that having an overwhelming number of spies,spal and tech doesn't have a better chance of success. it's so hard to get and keep a massive spal, especially when you fail so many ops.

why the high variable factor anyway? it's like having 10k turrets bounce 100k jets. it doesn't make sense to me,coupled with the fact that there is a tech for spies, a gov bonus for spies and spy alliances to have more failed ops than successful ops.

if i knew math and stuff i'd suggest formula like detmer =p

yea, thanks Dave. please do change how spies work now. it's such an issue with me now that i'm no longer playing =p

the spy failling + 15 spy operations limit in tourney makes me pissed. even raising spal just makes me lose more more spies. i call shenaningans on the spy formula.
