qz
i am not sure how lincoln got dragged into this whole u r gregg routine because i was the original gregg surrogate

as you know it got to be so emotionally distressing and hurtful that i begged pang to let me delete this account

pang said no matt we need you to stay and we can not delete forum accounts so just dont go to the forums at all
except to post rule changes
i have pretty much done that but when lincoln sent me the insite message about this thread i thought i would come on and answer what i know about this whole we are the world you are gregg fiasco

you all know how that got started and i hope for both our sakes i never meet primeval in real life

but the list of people who at one time or another have been accused of being the greatest express player of any and all time are me, lincoln, dragon, LaEstar, starstalker2 who i doubt even exists, deer something or other, forumshopper, lilbigfoot and stoleaway and a couple of others so if u see any posts by any of those names it might be the same guy but it aint me

HWCNG says that any untagged country is chum for LaE
fordy says join a clan or get farmed to the ground

i realize they are no longer the leaders of LaE but that sounds like a policy to me

yet another player has quit because of LaE's announced policy of killing untagged and solo clan players on FFA

surely losing a player of Zues' caliber is a blow to the site

i for one do not trust LaE not to kill a small clan
for no reason other than they feel like it
so once again to quote mad morticia, "why bother?"

FFA could be a great experimental lab and teaching ground for new players, but it never will be as long as one man runs the entire server

and no qz i do not believe it is worth the investment of time and energy to build a solo clan on FFA and trust that LaE will suddenly behave like gentlemen
Zues doesnt believe it either

i have seen no signs that LaE will become worthy of trust
they promised us that they had new leadership and that the old leaderhip would never come back here we are a couple of months later and the old guard is back
and the killing of solo clans and the attempt to drive players off the site is back with them
right now they are attempting to drive five players away from the game forever, me among them
actually i guess its down to four now that zues has quit

there may be more
i repeat my suggestion of GCDI that prevents clans from ruining weeks of effort and enjoyment

thanks for your consideration

the admins went way out of their way to increase the amount of tech in the game, and now a chorus begins to reduce it again? why?
i think the increased tech is great for the game becasue it allows for greater diversity of strat and tactics

i supposedly am gregg
these are not my rules

i do not favor a private market for tech
unless the market only buys at most a quarter of the country's tech

as far as the guys who lurk with $1B and 500 turns, let countries raid them like W and detmer and I always advocate

i do like the idea of taking away the construction bonus from theos, they simply do not need it, i do not think Express is long enough to let people catch Cs if they get it though.
I do not favor a food floor to raise the price of food

PUBLIC ADMISSION THAT I WAS WRONG

even though there seems to be a general consensus that lincoln and i are the same cat, fostered in part by his humor
i should apologize since i was shown to be wrong

so lets make another public admission in hopes that we can move past personal animus and get to a discussion of the state of the game

i was shown to be wrong when i said the admins were nothing but netters
they are working hard to make worthwhile adjustments to the game including making LGs a viable tactic, Is a viable gov type and allx dominance a thing of the past

slagpit's $15M outing with a single tap C is both a personal success and good for the server
we are fortunate to have an admin playing this server every set
i look forward to seeing what he has to say after a tech set
so i apologize for agreeing with HWCNG when he said admins pay no attention to this server
that is certainly not true now

i see that some of my past posts were overly strident in criticzing the first steps of a process as though it were the entirety of the work

when i said that the tpt change would unduly aid theos and then gloated when they won repeatedly that was wrong
the process is still under way and they may yet be cut down to size
plus i underestimated the willingness of techers to give away their product at set end when the big cashers finally show up to play the game
i have newfound confidence that the admins will address the unusual aspects of express which favor allx netters

just reporting this

in express last set
i had 100ktroops
1.5M turrets
220k tanks

d ally had
1.5M troops
1.5 million turrets
20k tanks

i got hit about seven times
each time it said d ally lost nothing

he said he lost forces each attack

how many times do i have to tell you not to tell jokes around engineers?
now they will think we have five accounts.((((

either that or maybe just maybe pain will start to see that HWCNG is wrong here and if he is wrong about this maybe he is wrong about the other stuff

no that is too musch abstract thinking to hope for

oh yeah happy anniversary to the casher theo
maybe they can get all ten top spots this time

to think the commie enhancement and the fascist enhaancement are both about to be phased out but theo rolls on))))

u say that oil serves no purpose on express

this may get me a year long lp ban but i disagree)))))

it serves no market purpose
it does not help Fs who will need a different enhancement

but

it does deter special retals by netters
it serves as a small impediment to an emotional response to an LG

currently when an all x player gets hit in order to retal he has to spy. buy oil, and then AB
if the price of oil is high enough, no ab
the mere requiremant to buy oil may have stopped countless soecial retals

if u remove the oil you will get more special attacks

but so what? two very exciting sets with new tpt rule
demand for everything was way up
Cs and Fs both enjoyed the set
and two of the new Is flirted with the top twenty until dying untimely deaths

how can someone who has no sdi and knows about express clans be said to be doing well?

if u have no sdi in this server
u r doing poorly


its just one of the special rules
like lifetime dr and the land protection act of 2010
why cant you get sdi like the guys who actually r doing well?

clan behavior is specifically disallowed under Gregg's rule

one clan is famous for routinely disobeying that rule and once had a ton of countries deleted, they even had a clan leader tracking all their players and coordinating clan retals

that same clan then had all their leaders play two resets for the sole and express purpose of killing the man who caught them in the act

clan misconduct has been down the last few sets
and we thank them for that
but mass retal for actions taken against one member is the hallmark of well you all know who it is

some great ideas

particularly using it as a beta server
many have suggested that

bot countries
this is the future of the game
this is how you attract bright programmers
just make sure the admins know which countries are bots
the anti bot rule is hampering site growth

some connected players say that admins do not consider express a real server and we will never get anywhere with posts all we can do is keep trying to improve the game

getting randomly suicided on
why cant (netters) understand how stupid this makes them sound?
he suicided me is the statement of a fool
until we can get this word dropped and replaced with OGed
or something that isnt repulsively stupid it will be hard for some to take posts seriously

the problem isnt too many attacks
it is far too few
the 24 hour DR makes the server a netters paradise

decrease ss and ps?
u must mean increase ss and ps effectiveness dont u?
particularly given the insane amount of protection given by the 24 hour dr rule
thats like two weeks in primary

4) decrease war tech?
ok uticant is obviously a netter at heart
if we have a stupid demeaning insulting word like suicider for LGers we should have an equally insulting word for netters say dirt mouse or bleating sheep

5) new spy ops
there are six players who routinely beg for this
with specified ideas

6) Fs need help given all the help recently give to H
but this is really just another netter plan to reduce LGs
excuse me suicide attacks on another person

declare war on everyone sounds like another netter plot to remove any semblance of a war game

change humanitarians
dirt mice are already protected by the ludicrous dr rule
but i have always thought that to reduce bottom feeding
humanitarians ought to kick in at 6x rather than 10x

9( dont like clans

but one set a month of this wouldnt hurt too much

some great ideas
some horrifyingly bad ideas
but beta testing them is the way to go

watergate was a second rate break-in by a couple of guys who were so low on the chain they had never met the leader
after the leader found out about it he lied to cover it up

when the posers that be fournd out about the coverup
they kicked the leader out
then the people kicked his party out
which led to the worst president of the 20th century
and a horrific economic disaster for the whole world
but then Ronnie arrived and order was restored
