Anyway, i'm gonna stop posting about this.  Don't want it to appear that I'm against it, cos i'm not.

Just want to potray that there are a lot of other things Mods have to think about when resetting Galaxies and stuff.  I know, because I've been a Mod.

Original PW End Date -> PW 76: Ending - 2013-04-19 17:00:00 (GMT)

So, assuming you had everything ready, the gal would be reset same day.  1 week registration, so new round
starts on: 2013-04-26.

Now earlier in this thread you said 7 weeks for PW (and then reduced to 6 because people said so).  Not to mention your Length Poll thread has 1 less vote for 8 weeks, than that of 6 weeks.  So you were prepared to have an 8 week round too.

So your new Galaxy End dates would be:
6 week round: 7 June
7 week round: 14 June
8 week round: 21 June

So in all scenarios, you were going to miss the end of this in any case.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see someone else put effort into things like this.  But I'm glad you're now appreciating how difficult it is set this up.

If you don't have any 'read minds powers' then why do you assume that:

Why? A Fam's diplomatic status should be their own affair.  The Op is just one way to get the info.

Also, you'll never be able to find out if the havn't signed the NAP through relations either.

I meant at the time MW and PW needed to be reset.

There 'is' a Search on the User list page.  I remember this with old version of forums too.  It wasn't available for regular Players.  Not sure why.

Especially useful now, given the Forum PM feature.

Will find out!

Agreed, I sent a lot of msgs lately, most of them were not delivered, but from those delivered most were not read, and this means it's not highlighted enuf and people misses it.

Umm, didn't you send a lot of messages to those people who aren't even here atm?  You picked names of people who havn't played in months and you messaged them.  Obviously you need to check forum to see you have a message.

But yea, the notification itself could be a bit more prominent.

Pie already did a good job making it what it is now, it was worse before actually tongue

Great, it means all players are doing something.  And when someone comes to attack them, they'll all be having to do something.

Sharing planets isn't a new tactic - we've had no aid galaxy before, and this was done.  Build for someone else and pass them on.  But ultimately the point is you become responsible for your own empire through ensuring you have the production, protection and capabilities to either attack or defend for yourself.

Strategies will no doubt evolve - that's also something we need in IC.  New strategies.

Any 'specialization' will not do well.  That's kinda the point...

+ figure out what to reopen for PW and MW.

Render had said he's not ready with his PW set up and would require 4-5 days to set up.  Stefan said he wanted galaxies closed asap.  Not saying it's Render's fault, the galaxies had all closed prematurely so it didn't leave time for much planning for anyone.

So yes, Tri was opened up in between so Mods could figure out what to start back up with what configuration etc.

Okay, so what's your guys' proposed solution?

Here's mine:

Easiest way (imo) to implement this in the short term, would be to have a gal like Pinwheel or Milky Way, with settings as normal, but just disable aid between empires and disable the market.  This way, you are tasked with fighting as well as infra on your own.  Take some iniatiaves, work as a team still, and have more control over the way you run your own empire.

Nope, we want to let all bugs as is.  Adds to the flavour of IC!


...jokes aside, yes, i'd hope so.  Real question is, when?  Not sure on that one.

and...there should be a way to select multiple checkboxes on planets page by click dragging or click-shift click, Like in google mail, where you can select your messages by click and shift click on some other message.

Added!! + Tagpointed! smile

Didn't use your code, but it's pretty generic anyway.

You probably will never read this (quite an old thread), but I'm replying for closure tongue

PS:  Where are all these players that had good ideas gone? sad

Yep, us too! So we thought we'd like to make things a tad easier while selecting Planets!

  • You can now tick a checkbox in Planets Page and "Shift" Click one down further in the list to select all in between!


Note:

  • This only works for Planets page (for now)

  • It works like a Toggle, so you can 'deselect' planets in the same fashion

  • This tool may be particularly useful when combined with the various Planet sorting features (e.g. by resource)

Enjoy! smile

It is something we could consider if the majority wanted it, but would probably be better to run without this round as people may have already spent time and resources planning and pre-building etc

Ever prebuilt the wrong units?
Ever changed your mind on a starting strategy?
Sick of leader's in your fam saying "DONT BUILD ANYTHING YET?"

If yes to any of the above, then we have an update for you!

  • Cancelling Units or Buildings while a Galaxy is in registration phase, now refunds you 100% of the costs

Cancelling during a round, remains at a 75% refund.

Enjoy! smile
