SDSS, 2 allies, no market please! ![]()
I'm not talking biological or all natural or any of that bogus, I'm talking vegetables (to some extend), fresh fish (although other sea foods, such as crustaceans, are dirt cheap when compared to prices here, but not everyone likes the idea of eating crustaceans) and, especially, fruit.
It is expensive enough as compared to packaged, conserved foods to the point where the people who do not make a lot of money will not buy it.
Plus there's a whole attitude issue towards vegetables and fruits that causes a lot of people to skip out on them.
The low minimum wages are not the sole reason for people not eating healthily.
Problem in the states is: junk food, soda drinks and everything containing shittons of conservatives and sugar is dirt cheap.
Healthy food on the other hand, is not.
And I doubt full time waiters would make anything close to what you made, Wornstrum. I find it quite hard to believe myself that you were making 25 dollars a hour.
Then again, the American waitress won't be hungry or whatever, she'll be overweight in no time and obese before she even notices... if the malnutrition doesn't get her hospitalized first.
Judging by how Lee was the brains after the winning fam, plus that he was attacking in the winning fam and we never lost anything, I'd say Lee was attacking with all the merits that attacker in the small fam had, plus more.
This best attacker award going to Arby3 is more of a joke than when I won best agent opper when I was pax in KOTH 1... ![]()
oh sorry I misread, then the droid:sol ratio should still be similar I guess.
They're cheaper (especially due to them not having iron costs) and it's only 1 attack/defense point.
Only problem I'm seeing is that attackers will start using droids exclusively.
One of the fun parts of attacking was that you could completely wreck another attacker's ground if he had no sols, because droids sucked that badly in defending. It's like a strategic game of what droid:sol ratio to make. Now that is all gone, due to soldiers, NW for NW, are just inferior to droids.
Also I fair that, as Lee said, this change hurts preset races that do not have access to droids a bit too hard. It may just be that little bit easier for attackers to run through a banker's ground than it has been in the past, to make these preset races sitting ducks, unless they are willing to pay a shitton of upkeep to maintain huge soldier counts.

a) VladTheImpaler
b) Nightwish 6 votes
Nightwish takes it in a landslide.
14. Best all around attacker
a) Lee 3 votes
b) RisingDown 3 votes
c) Arby3 5 votes
Surprisingly, the attacker who made the most mistakes during the round gets the best attacker award! I still can't make up my mind whether people are just trying to get favors from Arby, him being a mod, or whether they are taking pity on him. ![]()
Anyways, congratulations Arby3!
18. Favorite Family theme
a) Skyrim 3 votes
b) Nintendo 64 5 votes

Old school beats new school (and the weird gypsy cards). Nintendo 64 wins favorite family theme!

Most overrated player clearly goes to Nightwish... But the other 2 categories are still up for grabs, best attacker still being a 3-way tie!
C'mon guys get your votes in, less than one day left!

you can edit your post to only include above categories, voting for one of the above competitors. Either that, or your post will just get disregarded as a whole.
To keep up with plagiarizing Primo, hereby a second round of votes to clear up the ties! (although ours is so much smaller, something Primo has never heard before!)

You have 48 hours to decide. Final results will be taken on March 13th, at 17.00 GMT
1. Best Leader
Won by Lee for planning every event in the round, leading to the round win. Munder comes in second, following Lee on his heels!
2. Best Diplomat
Won by Ktiger, who managed to get 10 pnaps by destroying his own fam! (although this should hardly be anything to applaud...)
Honorable mentions are Risingdown for playing bad cop all round in nap talks, Lee for being the good guy all round in nap talks, and Parrot for saving his fam a lot of pain by getting them some cheap pnaps (any of these would have been a more deserving winner in my opinion, but meh, everyone's allowed to their own opinion I guess >.>).
3. Most honorable family
Won by 5859 with overwhelming numbers, for fair play and a generally high cuddle-factor, followed by 64 with very much less overwhelming numbers
.
4. Most dishonorable family
5853 wins this one, for lame tactics concerning cancelling on other fams or just attacking fams already in war.
Runners up are 64, using pressure tactics in nap talks, being big-headed (although one could say justified?
) and just people having grudges against people in the fam.
5. Most tenacious family
5865, the planet fat fam with the tireless retakers, wins this one! Honorable mentions are 59 and 54.
6. Your favorite war
Apparently not only those who participated in the 64 vs 59 war enjoyed it, but also those who were mere spectators!
Another war that took a lot of votes was 54 vs 67, coming short by just 1 vote.
7. Best spellcasting empire
Teddy takes this one with a large majority of votes, followed up by Insane.
8. Best agent opper empire
No real winner (a winner must have more than 1 vote...)
Seems there were no real agent oppers this round, or at least no memorable ones. Only 1 vote has been made in this category!
9. Most overrated player
A tie between family members, both from 53! VladtheImpaler and Nightwish, congratulations!
10. Potential Star
Won by BBWolf, just one vote ahead of Section 9 and SSL.
11. Favorite forum poster
Arby3 wins this one (with a general lack of votes compared to the other categories).
12. Best all around banker
Nice win by Jaguar, who grew to be the biggest and fattest banker after joining the round late!
Honorable mentions go to Munder, xxWillxx and Dangerous.
13. Best all around resourcer
Convincingly won by Insane, who by himself produced the entire resource income of the winning fam after the other resourcers were killed off for their inactivity.
Runner up is The Fuzz, attacker turned planet fat resourcer!
14. Best all around attacker
3 way tie, and 3 votes each:
Lee, the leader of the winning fam.
RisingDown, forever surrounded by a rain of droid parts from the skies.
Arby3, the one who makes people delete through crashing his own droids and generally inefficient attacking strategies!
15. Best all around player
Won by Lee for leading the winning fam (and an apparent lack of agreement in the votes, Lee was the only one lucky enough to land 2
).
16. Rounds Joker (why?)
VladtheIMpaler wins the Joker of the round award! His trash-talking, combined with not being able to back it up, certainly got peoples' attention! Poor guy, if only he hadn't been as arrogant :\.
Runner up is Section 9 for his comedic additions to the round.
17. Biggest mistake of the round
Cancelling the 53 vs 64 war (outside fams saying 53 shouldn't have napped, 64 saying they shouldn't have napped 53).
59 not jumping properly (to fight 64).
Joining pw (although one of the people who said this was his biggest mistake gave the round an 8.5!)
18. Favorite Family theme
Skyrim
Nintendo 64
Arcana
These 3 themes all got 2 votes (although the Skyrim theme got 1 "any but"-vote
).
19. Rate the round (1-10)
average: 7.6
and if he goes inactive and at a certain point you find you still need him, for instance to get the 500mil cash he's got saved up due to not aiding in for days, just leave him a post in the politics forums!
23 hours till I count these... 11 entries so far.
perhaps could it be... hmm... I'm just guessing here, but that the decission to postpone our war (64 vs 57) was made on a certain tick, and that attackers in both fams used that tick to find other targets? I know that's what I did as soon as I heard our war was postponed.
I see people posting in here who haven't voted yet...
/me gives them the Evil Eye.
Luck as in, you would've crashed on anyone else had I not stood there for you to crash one first? ![]()
But w/e, I'm just playing haha, people can vote for whoever they want to vote, as long as we get some more votes than this!
Come on guys, you're making it awfully easy for me to count the votes!
"14. Best all around attacker: Arby3 for his fleet crashes and generally inefficient and suboptimal but effective methods. Notable mention goes to Spam for coming in mid round allowing for me to resource :>"
Doesn't that mean whoever Arby3 crashed his fleet on automatically should get your vote? ![]()
Oh and this 58 business? That's just me using my rediculous fleet a bit, for the heck of it. I've told 58 that I wouldn't do any serious damage to them, aside from that 1mil figs I ran. But hey, they managed to rejump their attacker quite nicely, which tells me they were prepared.
Aside from Insane's ops on your popper, no one else in my fam is involved in this war. And I did not even have to ask for those ops. Had you guys had my fams full attention, you can bet things would've looked far worse by now.
They should thank me, I gave them something to do for EoR other than saving up for a stupid EoR jump.
FA, guess you dont realize my intentions when I sent you that message. It wasn't meant to be 100% serious, hence the term "pre-vulturing", as Templare pointed out.
Then again, your long ass, not to mentioned delayed (which makes me think you actually had to take your time to come up with a half decent response) shows you should at least have an idea that what you did was wrong. Otherwise, why take something that was obviously typed in 30 seconds or less that seriously? I sent you a long ass reply in case you have not yet realized your wrongs as well, just in case.
If you still don't realize it, then shame on you.
Unreligious, but heavily influenced by part of Buddhist teachings (minus the traditiomal parts involving spirits and what not) and agnostic. In other words, I'm a fake Buddhist.
[Rainbows and lollipops are my favorite things] off 53, seriously -.-'
I'm a relatively new player myself, defintely don't consider myself a vet. ![]()
I know that when I first started, I didn't act arrogant nor did I try to get myself noticed through negative ways (at least I like to think I didn't
). Just being active and eager to learn will make you get to learn the game, and game knowledge will give you a reputation.
If new players have to resort to trying to get noticed in a wrong way, be it being dishonest, being dishonorable, trash talking in forums and/or deleting, then I doubt it'd be good for the game to get even more of those undesirable players...
Honestly, if that guy was new and he remained clueless throughout the round, his family members should've mentored him far better. There's some top notch players in that fam, some fairly good attackers. I'm not sure whether someone tried to or no one did, but was this guy being mentored by one of them?
