It seems the definition of 'war' has changed.

This game bores me with tactics like this.

Oh and not to mention your ally's random opping too.

Anyway...

...pledged ur allegience to ur new president yet Hydro?

Yay...sign me up!

Same reason you're opping

hah Listos

"IC Contestant Award" ...wtf is this tho?

I can see a problem with not wanting to play with a particular captain though

..I suppose once your picked...you have no say in the matter

"oh noesss...I've been picked by [insert most disreputable/hated player by you]!!" ...could lead to ppl performing poorly or inactively (or conversly even better).  Thought his kinda thing is really hard to regulate anyway.

hmm...maybe i should just be a captain!

Hehe if i had the time, I'd definitely join! ..Sounds quite fun.

Infact, another idea, would be to make it like the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Cricket.  Make it so that, each captain starts off with a set amount of 'money' - and then the captains can auction for the players ...Lot of strat involved around that too! And it's fun as hell watching it unfold!

Or, a simpler way (ie easy for arsy to manage ) ..is just put a price on each player - just like normal fantasy leagues.  Though, putting a price on players, is going to be extremely difficult and cause no shortage of grief/disputes/whining

Awesome idea tho!

1. How do you feel about the fam sizes this round? Did the increase of 13 from 12 have a positive, negative or no effect on  you?
- Quite nice actually.  Easily manageable.  I do however, miss the days when you used to get to play with 8 of your friends, while still meeting new people. 

2. What do you think about the distance between the families? Do you feel you had a better or lesser chance to grow properly? Do you feel that you have a better or lesser chance at choosing targets?
- Grow easily, yes.  Allows you to get good infrastructure in place.  However, I dont' like the uniformity.  It's too evenly spread out, no variability, and no creative ways to deal with the map.  'Terrain' always adds a new dimension to gameplay imo, and I think it'd be nice to have that back.

3. What do you think about MW/Andro merging thus far? Do you think that it increases competition or lowers it? Do you feel that you have a higher or lower chance at getting into stronger familes than in andromeda and milky way?
- Brilliant idea.  Gotta get the players to play together imo.

4. What do you think about the Market being disabled for 48 hours? Do you think it enhanced or minimalized the importance of getting a good production on the first day? Do you think it helped you or hindered you from growing?
- Another brilliant idea.  Previously it was whoever got the end bids would have a decent start.  Ofcourse this doesnt matter in the long run, but it definitely sets the active ppl in the right direction easier.  Added a new dimension to the 'start strat' and I loved it.
- However, those individual players going SS - I feel they might be effected a bit.

5. The round length. Do you think it should be extended an extra 2-4 weeks or remain at 8 weeks? Do you think that you still have a good shot at getting into the top 5 or is the round simply too short to make a comeback?
- As a pop banker, a couple extra weeks would be nice   As a fam point of view, I think 2 months is okay except for the fact that you probably go through the whole round without really getting to see all the top families ..or at least the families in your bracket.

6. The starting resources. Should they be increased, lowered or is it just fine?
- Just fine!  Loved the extra resources.  Speeds up the round by a considerable amount.  Planets are already so OB etc etc.

7. Do you think that the map is too big, too small or just right?
- Not sure, not attacking.  Looks big, but there are a lot of families too, so its okay.  Still don't really like the equal spacing between the fams though.  Would be nice to have those areas of interest again where people all target - Does provide more fronts to conduct battle!

8. What kind of changes would you like added for next round? Things that will improve gameplay and still keep it balanced at the same time without providing an extra advantage over anyone.
- Again, going back to the map - I'd like to see a bit of variability.  But thats just a personal preference.

9. The mod team would like to enter this game in the gotm competition next month. Will you help as long as changes continue?
- No! Am retiring again! Death to IC!!! r0ar!!!

I wanna play

sup?

..where u at?
