I use to have tons on TIE. But my computer died and I lost it. I think I posted a bunch on a old TIE site, but I'm pretty sure that site is shut down now.

It's been a fun war.

Confirmed. Two ICN tags just to fight each other. I will do FA for both tags if needed.

Dang, you should have double tapped.

What percentage of money is taken in a grab? I thought it was a small percentage.

Pick up games of basketball and football. I also in Hwa Rang Do.

Yeah, you have to put people in a group. And when you post something, you can chose what group can view it.

I'm ready for 24 hour stats.

smashmouth?

link is willing to pay full reps, hookers and his favorite bong

It was bad last night.

I totally agree with you twain. Execpt my countries weren't war prepped :-p I have much respect for NBK for taking on a war that they were at a disadvantage. But for as much as I didn't want to war, it's been both fun and challenging.

To tell you the truth, if their was a big server war. I would want Focus and NBK on my side.

They went to LCN, but TIErs are spread out everywhere from what I've seen.

a lot of alliances are gone :(

I'll send half my countries. Just sucks cause whenever I'm attacking myself, I'm always on to stone....I just don't understand.

;-P

LOL I wish we had a Koolaid Man

Yeah if you could message us when those countries come out of vacation, tanks :)

and Nightshade is a women

pure genius

That's fun. Gotta love having new "old" blood

LOL, love it

This is because IMP knows they can't win TNW. So they can use this war as an out from the race.

i'm pretty sure it shows you, your actual rank. I don't think it has to be too involved. Just put which round, country name and number, number of defends, civs killed, GS, BR, Missiles, SS, etc.

I agree with Kya, and I would hate to see hanlong go.

<--- would love to be part of this war

You have it set up where you can see all your netting history. But not warring history. Should be a break down, of attacks, missiles, defends, etc. Not just a total. Pretty unfair that you break down netting stats for each set, but not warring.

I'm starting to get sick of closed threads. This isn't an alliance where you have two members fighting with each other, and you close the thread as a spank on the fluff. People should feel free to argue in circles if they want.

I will say this. I am for unlimited FFA, only if you are sure it will increase people playing the game. I personally wouldn't play on a unlimited FFA, but I would prefer to see the game grow.

I would say 16 limit cap should stay. I'm already having trouble running 16 in a war. Yes I could run less countries, but then I'm giving you advantage, which would lead me to quit. I wouldn't be interested in playing a game at a disadvantage. Instead of running 900 countires, get better at running 16. Or if you just raised cap to lets say 32. I think you would actually lose people, not gain people.

I disagree with you; I wouldn't say stonewalling is hard to master. The concept of it is simple. Take turns with low pop to maximize the amount of hits needed to kill you, and buy military to cause failed attacks. Now I do agree stonewalling is one of the most fun things for me too. But it's not really something to master, it more just having good timing. You can't do anything if you can't get on, or you got online to slow.

I think steps could be taken to make this game easier to learn, that would be easy. But I don't know how you can take away easy to master. You have one problem, we are playing alliance server. If it was only primary, I would say it's much harder to master. But with alliance server, a player joins the alliance, and then all they have to do is take simple orders from their strat advisor. Do you see a way of getting around that without taking away alliances?

"There is a former PDMer (middle aged woman actually) who said she will play again if this becomes a facebook game.... "

Quoting doesn't work on my work computer. Detmer ask her why. Does she want the game changed, or she simply wants the game in it's exact fashion, but on facebook.

The government change could make the game a lot more interesting. If government were not made visable, but I would go a step further and not even let a spy op see the government. I would say that would make the game more challenging.

Another idea, how about making switch governments a little different. You would pick a certain cap, let's just say 300 turns. If you take 300 turns you can switch governments without penalty, and then after another 300 turns you can switch without penalty, etc. But if you change before the 300 turns, you take penalty.

Lots of good points. I like your point system idea Noto....like some sort of reward system for having your name put into the referral section when a new player signs up. But I think it would be really hard to recruit.

Now I'll be assuming quite a bit of things here, but I think people will agree. As hanlong stated most of the membership is from earth2025, and most of us were teenagers in high school when we started. So, many of us are starting to have less time with school, work, or family. What we need is an increase in new teenage players. But the problem with that are things like XBox live, which wasn't around back in the day. I don't know how this game would pull them away from the more visual games.

I do feel like we can try a complete different bracket to recruit from besides teenaged boys. One interesting thing I noticed on facebook. I feel like there are tons of middle aged women playing facebook games. But I don't know if this game would or could appeal to that bracket. Many people have talked about moving the game to facebook; I don't think it would really work. I did some asking around to my facebook gaming friends, and I asked what keeps them playing certain games and why do they stop others. The top responses I got:

- New Missions
- Monthly game updates (new content)
- Holiday items, missions

Now I don't know if that could be applied to this game. I would rather keep earth how it is now, than to see it flop on facebook. The thing that makes this game great, is the community everyone knows that. That could be lost if it was put on facebook. And back to my idea of recruiting middle aged women, I don't think they would fit into the community. But I definitely think we could try, or think of ways to improve the game to appeal to more people.

Yeah I'm playing for now, but my first born is on his way, so we'll see how long that last.

Also, I thought extremes was part of global warming. Meaning summer will get worse but so will winters.

Civilization

my only claim to fame, I was wargasm ally. Otherwise I sucked again.

Ant never gave me a hello :-p

Very Impressive Xtinct. Swords you'll be able to bounce back.

yeah, I remember Z, not really doing much.

Junky where do you play at in FFA and 1A?

hummer!!!!!

LOL, I didn't know Twain = Lord Matthew. And Havoc was in TIE too? Where is Zeratul anyway? I almost want to say I run TIE FFA, but I'm not sure.

Sometimes it's more convenient to hit restarts. I've lost a ton of restarts. None to land kill though, I never leave myself in a position to be land killed.

I didn't know you ran TIE here.

I only played a few sets in FFA back in the day, cause I didn't want to put in the time to run sooo many countries. I think I ran 25 back then....crazy. But I like FFA set up much better now. My only problem, I'll be a dad pretty soon here. And if their is another war, I will probably have to stop playing, cause it takes up too much time, and self kill runs are fail most the time.

wow, that could use a paragraph or two

Yeah, it sucks MadMorticia has stopped playing. I started this set in my own tag, mostly to test different strats and see how they play any different from when I use to play. MM recruited me into pan, which I thought sounded good, she said we were going to Net and I thought the tag protection would be easier for me to test my strats. (although seems like IMP might have killed me for 1:1, lol) Now I was just returning to the game so I didn't bother checking any history and I had no knowledge of the politics. I only joined cause of MM. Anyway, for reasons I'd rather not hash out again, I almost left. But then you guys FSed us, and I don't believe in leaving during a war, unless a real life issue comes up. And my countries weren't war ready at all, hence you killed 6 or so of mine in the first 1-2 hours.
