Upon further review, those land grabs were indeed typos. We meant to send GSs, not SSs. For that we sincerely apologize.

I'll make this my top priority!

Yep Donny is back, got enough of CCers back to maybe give it a go on our own next set. Won't that be fun?

On a serious note, lucky we still got jobs, no reduced hours/pay. See how long that lasts.

Half the stimulus check is going to the food bank, the other half is going toward locally owned restaruants in the form of ordering takeout and tipping well. Want to support the staff and be able enjoy their food for years to come.

Well, at least 16 of his countries were tagged, can't vouch for the others.

Just because you are too p**** to tag up properly doesn't mean there is a 200 country advantage.

and as for dead birds...I offer this.

Still no explnation as to why lIMP has only 21...wait it went up to 37...ccountries tagged so far.

"These kind of wars"...yoou mean where one side decides to hide most of their countries in order to disguise how awful of a "clan" they are.

Wow...21. I'm shaking in my boots. 21???? Not 16 or 32?

lIMP got there asses handed to them so bad last set, can't even bother to man up and create the tag again.

This was the #alliance channel, not exactly disclosing a secret. You admitted you don't count. That is all.

Kind of already happended.

I see what you did there.

You are currently officially at war with Yiffing all set (#1979).
Make Peace

Was there a purpose here?

The mental gymnastics for self-justification going on this thread is just amazing.

Warring since EE set 1 and even before then.

How many more obvious references are out there?

22.

I see what you did there.

Maybe I'll get a top 25 with about 270 mil for my send off.

Ni!

This isn't a rage quit, still weeks to go in this set and intend on finishing it out while I evaluate on how I spend my time.

Made a suggestion when it goes to speed kills. Lets start simple. However, the idea of "babysitting" even being thought of being allowed is disturbing.

I think the simpliest idea in slowing down kill runs would be a substansial increase in the amount of readniness lost for each non SS/PS attack. You still need to be available to wall, but instead of 10 seconds, maybe you get a minute or two.

Efforts have been tried before to nerf the results of attacks in very fast speed kills which were mostly panned by players. I don't have a problem with speed kills, let the cream rise to the top and also liked the introuction of restart bonuses. Felt it was one of the most benefical changes to the game, espeically when it comes to player retention. The formula used for assests for a restart underwent a few changes early on, and while I wouldn't mind further revision(s) (maybe it was too strong???) completely taking out of the game is extreme.

However, the proposed ability for players able to pay money to babysit other player's countries is too much for me. This violates the first law of the game. There must be other ways for the game admins to recoup the expenses and time they put in without that aspect.

I feel this shall be my last set as well. I've taken extended breaks before, but that was do to burnout. Now I have fundamental issues with the changes the admins are implementing in the complete loss of restart bonuses and a pay for play model, espeically for BREAKING the one player one country model in every server other than FFA in the name of $$$.

It was a great 18 or so years, and wish the game good luck. I understand the efforts of the admin to improve the game but fundamently disagree with how they are going about it. Time to write a new chapter.

Or someone finally remembered to pay their internet or power bill.

My 2 cents, the Iranians luanched the missiles to placate the domestic demand for revenge but missed on purpose to avoid US casualites. Gives both sides a chance to deseclate the situation.

I think disabling the restart bonus completely will lead to less players on the server, which would exacerbate an already existing problem. If the goal is make restarts less powerful (obviously) then maybe tinkering with the restart forumla is the way to go.

Personally, I came back after an extended 2.5 year break a few sets ago. I was just to be for a set or two, but I'm still here for a 3rd set. Mainly because the wars that were arranged were fun, with the restart bonus meaning that after a welcome day off you could be back in the war hitting hard if you managed your country properly. Starting from scratch would dis-encourage restarts because the mentality would be "What is the fluffing point?" and not reward well built countries that died in 10 seconds during a FS. Let players keep some of what they built.

And as Sov said, this will lead to more early wars that will likely end earlier, leaving the lots of players involved in the war not interested in playing the 2nd month of the set.

Glad a fairly even war could be arranged, nice work by the heads.

Just wish you coudln't have killed me while I was eating at the Thanksgiving table.

As somone who has been impersonated multpile times becase of a bug on the forums (Looking at you Hawk) because I have a space in my handle, I'm suprised that there is STILL not a direct link between your log-in and forum handle. Play as you want, but own up to it.
