Why is Freezy dying?

Scratch that!

Changing to mobPoley!

Nvm, just re-read his first post! He was asking why the first one was Crap

And people say noone listens!

Nice idea.

It's a bit trivial for something so small, but it might bring people to this section of the forums, lets see if we can combine the two!

Thx

Umm, can I just remind you of the time, earlier in the round, when you took a planet off me?

I msged you and DDK that all I'll do is take that planet back, and I left you guys alone.

Hell, I had shares with DDK and beware at the time.  And everyone was untouched.  I came out worse in the exchange since I lost a portalling planet with infra.  Still didn't do anything against you guys though.

Really, this rule shouldn't be in place for explorations.  When exploring for people, it should be okay to specify where the comp planets are.

I believe this rule came in about (i think anyway, i wasn't here at the time), was to stop this kind of thing:

"I'll give you a NAP, but you pay me 5 planets.  These 5 planets are to be x, y, z, a and b, because they give me shares with Fam XXXX."

^ That kinda thing used to happen yearssssss ago in Milky Way - and imo, at the time everyone agreed it was bad practice/form.  Yet people would still do it, without it being an official rule.

This is exactly what I'm saying too.  Except my view is to address the root of the problem.  Not just necessarily make things easier for the sake of it.

e.g., This idea in this thread (lets be focused ) ...would help someone aid in more on a regular basis, based on their availability.  This equalises activity to an extent.  [Do I fully agree with this? No, cos i think those willing to be active to do so, should be rewarded for it].

However, what we need, is not to standardise that activity, but rather make that activity more relevant.  The mentality needs to change that instead of implementing a better system for just people to mindlessy aid in ...we make it so that they actualyl need to do stuff.

Activity at that level needs to be increased and the efforts you put in, should be reflected into your own empire.

Take for example WoW (yea, i know comparing IC to 7million players in WoW - but a lot of people can relate, im sure!):
The game is set up so that the casual player can still do what they want.  Yet those willing to actively do things like farming materials, reputation rewards, dailies (which take time and dedication) will be able to reap higher rewards.

I definitely think we need to head in that direction.

Closing this thread now.

The tale, has yet to conclude!
