You been away from IC too long, Pie ![]()
I figured if one wins, the other 3 won't play by the winners' setup.
Get rid of 3 "high profile" players with 1 stone! =]
Arby said "I know wiwi is Q" or something like that (I will get logs in an hour)
Can we see these logs plz?
Also, confused. If wiwi is Q, why are we voting him out?
Changing to Genesis!
Indeed, these are all issues we face because of lack of players. Else we'd all be happier ![]()
Trust me, Mods/Devs are actively trying to help with this. Even Stefan is on board again!
1. PW's identity has been mentioned several times so lets clarify. its always been short rounds and totally random where you land and i believe this has provided the backbone for a solid community over the years and i believe these are the 2 things that shouldn't be changed. so insane is quite right with his comment
Yep, I've been saying the same thing ![]()
2. point 1 does not mean that i disagree with renders idea. for quite some time ic has fallen a bit by the wayside and needs an injection of something to renew the 'passion' for the game, to bring back people that have left, to encourage new players to join. so there is no harm in trying this new idea out since its really no different to trying out the koth thing etc.
I don't think anyone is actually opposed to the idea? Everyone who can, 'has' signed up.
3. i also agree with lee that its going to need a bit more time to sort out the kinks, so in the meantime would it not be a good idea as lee suggests to have a short round with small families just to keep people interested enough to stay on and help do this thing
This was my suggestion
Mods were ready to restart the galaxies earlier, but because of Render's thread and then consequently me thinking that it's only fair MW should also choose how they want to play, and with Black Eye galaxy and everything eles from irc shenaningans, bugs, etc, I thought it'd be a good idea to just have a short 4 week round, while things settle down, and Ideas are refined. Again, it's just a suggestion.
4. i'm not sure if torq is playing devils advocate or not but no matter what way you put it, you were planning to merge the 2 galaxies and probably with this bug, now was going to be the golden opportunity to do this since both galaxies are going to be shut down at the same time. and i'm pretty sure you're missing the point with pw players protests. its really not so much about the pw identity as it is about the different styles of play between the 2 galaxies. if pw players wanted to play mw then they would do so and vice versa. and while we still have 79 people in pw, its not a dead duck yet.
Yes, I am to an extent. First of all, I don't "plan" anything. I suggest. It's not in my authority to plan and make changes of this nature. In any case, everyone knows theres differences in playstyle between PW and MW, noone argues with this either.. The same is true For Andromeda and Triangulum. However, as a Dev, I see it as my job to look at the bigger picture here. I try to think on what's good for the overall game. Can I always be right? No, ofcourse not. I just share my opinion and why I think so. And this is one of those things. With specific regards to PW players, ofcourse they'll have this resentment of merging. If there were only 10 players left in IC, 5 from PW 5 from MW, they STILL wouldn't want to merge and would rather continue playing their own playstyles. Is this necessarily the best way forward? No, personally, I don't think so.
and finally i would like to use the same words to those in power as were used on us when pw got chopped and changed around - don't knock it unless you tried it. we're all troopers here and we played the rounds that were changed around. this time we're going to be troopers again and try something else that is being suggested by the players rather than mods/devs. and while i favour the randomness and short rounds of the current pw, i will be a trooper and give renders idea a shot.
Don't misunderstand the Mods/Devs. We're troopers too, and we play in all gals as well. In a Mod/Dev capacity, we do what we can to help IC. We volunteer our time to try to make the game better for all of us. Afterall, we're players too ![]()
Yep, I already mentioned that in Mod forum. It can be on the To Do List, including stuff like adjustable Spec Op limits and stuff ![]()
Voting wiwi for obviousmob.
Odds of changing vote to Flint soon, 83.53461962%
Also see we don't have an SK this round. Good!
I'm not sure if its been coded yet, but the biggest thing i would like to see is a reduction in the number of planets per system. This should allow more systems, and should promote early aggression a bit more.
Done ![]()
This is IC-wide now. Will make Announcement later.
Planets per system changed from 20-25 to 15-20. Yea it's only a smallish change for now, but I dont think we should make it too small either. Dunno /shrug
Yay for changes tho!
lol, that's for you guys to discuss amongst yourselves ![]()
Cos you been on holiday too ![]()
Ok so there seems to be alot of ideas floating around, and there has been no concrete decision on the best way to move forward. So are you happy to wait a few more days until decisions can be made and setups designed to suit whats needed? Or would you like to run a short 4 weeks round for now, and then look at possible new setups in depth over the next couple of weeks?
^Yep, pretty clear.
Thanks.
Yep, this never worked for writing a new entry from scratch. It only works as a pop up from bookmarking from planet pages (using the old map). Kinda like how 'close' works for the old system pages too.
Refreshing to the Log page would be a nice idea though.
Cos the alternative for you guys is to play in MW, lol.
Why would any PWer NOT sign up ![]()
No it doesn't ![]()
All galaxies will be reset.
What restarts is a little unclear though. If you guys are impatient (like some have indicated), then it'd just be PW and MW for 4 weeks, till Mods figure out what actually comes back and how.
OR
Galaxies get reset and then you wait for after weekend (most likely) for PW and whenever for MW for them to come up as per those settings - if it gets the go ahead.
So, protest all you want. Cos your protest makes no sense ![]()
Poor you, PW not fun normally.
Boohoo ![]()
18:02 sourlime: i head far enough south often enough
Other suggestions?
Drafting ...no drafting? ...how does anything else matter? ![]()
Stay in Fam, changed for two reasons:
1) Playerbase etc doesn't warrant fams being made across 2 rounds. The 2nd round you end up having too strong fams, and less variety. This is for MW too.
2) Stay in Fam system seem to be slighly broken
or something like merging with mw (that may have been Torqez),
Yep, that woulda been me. But I didn't say merge with MW. I said, close both, and create a new galaxy with all players. Obviously ppl want to retain their PW/MW identities.
at least with this its still a pw of sorts.
This is not PW
...it's ICPG/ICC with PW players and in PW galaxy ![]()
PW has always been known for its non drafting. This is almost as far away as you can get from Pinwheel
Your predecessors will be disgusted! ![]()
Everyone: +3834
Flint: 0
Get a VIP and play both!
and the mods for not acting sooner,
They acted as quick as they could.
Yea, and unfortunately, it wasn't in anyone's control that it got knocked off ![]()
Why? Did you not have fun during the round?
I mean, if all you're talking about an EOR rank, then yes, "waste of time". But the round isn't just what rank you finish on, imo.
I don't think game breaking ![]()
But yes, it would be nice to try something slightly new.
Hmm, i think i just found an easy way to do this ...
