Topic: Starburst Round 14-Chaos Round! (2 replies, posted in Announcements)
And we're back! Here are the settings:
Size: 100x100 (last round 160x160)
Systems: 697 (722 last round)
Families: 8 (9)
Family size: 7 (Increased to 8 mid-round) (8)
Drafts: 1. No race restrictions this round (previous 1 must be Camaar or Wardancer, 1 must be Partaxian, Revalon, or Quantam)
Max allies: 0 (same)
Length: 1.5 months (was 2.5 months)
Market: 2 days
Offensive Operations: 2 days (was 7 days)
Resources: 10x
Defense Stations: 3
Starting Sunday, June 21 (NOTE: Date was originally Friday, June 19, but was delayed two days)
Ending Tuesday, July 21
Moreover, a number of other feature and rules changes should be noted for this round.
1: The Sentinel tag has been removed.
2: The inactive script will remove inactive players after 7 days, rather than after 14 days.
3: The 40% net worth rule will kick in after 24 hours of no attacks, rather than 72 hours of no attacks.
Moreover, the moderators will be changing their enforcement of a particular rule for this round only. FOR THIS ROUND AND THIS GALAXY ONLY, THE MODERATORS WILL NOT BE ENFORCING RULES PROHIBITING ILLEGAL ALLIANCES. Feel free to organize unofficial alliances and NAPs for this round and this galaxy only. Moreover, although we cannot remove the official NAP system, moderators will be cancelling official NAPs once noticed or pointed out by players. Be warned: this means a player who signed an official NAP can report it to a mod and have it removed... making official NAPs as reliable as an unofficial NAP.
Finally, because this is a testing round and a shorter round to provide the opportunity for us to work on some new toys, Stefan has determined that players currently holding a VIP should receive one extra month's time with their premium features. Enjoy.
Please let the moderators know if you experience any bugs during this round.

Topic: Regarding Premium Accounts (0 replies, posted in Announcements)
In light of the delay in opening Starburst, we realize some players are likely dealing with wasted days with VIP accounts. As such, all players with current VIP accounts have had an additional week added to their VIP time.
We apologize for the delays.

One extra family member spot has been added to all families in Starburst due to the galaxy filling up.

Re: Starburst Round 13 (4 replies, posted in Announcements)
Third time's the charm on BOR dates! To help the lower ranked families fill more, Starburst will not begin until March 27. Note: The end of round is unaffected by this change. Thank you for your patience.

Dead Kennedys, I haven't gotten nearly enough high-value military secrets from the community for IC to be considered torture.

So far, the most interesting part of this thread is that Flint's most recent post managed to be posted at an exact hour, to the second.

Re: This Zombie Crap is Racist (9 replies, posted in Politics)
The difference is that if you're planning for a race riot, you won't suddenly find yourself in a position where a close ally was bit by a rioter, forcing you to shoot that ally. As such, you can construct a more person-reliant survival plan, as long as those people are not sympathizers to the race riot. CERTAIN friends may flip sides, but it's much easier to check that.
That being said, zombie apocalypses, like most any form of disaster, include many of the same elements: a need to forage for resources, a proper safehouse, etc. In fact, FEMA had a big promotion campaign in which they suggested steps people can take to prepare themselves for a zombie apocalypse (which was also applicable to any other disaster). So no, I don't doubt that they would look similar.

Re: Chemical Weapon Attack on United States (8 replies, posted in Politics)
Well, since the cat's out of the bag...
My list didn't have 1 and 3, but noted that since it was a Furry convention, 4chan might be behind it. I also noted that if it was ISIS, it's probably the closest they come to a diplomatic overture.

[Self-edit. Read the article. After 10 edits, I could come up with nothing but tasteless jokes, so I'm shutting up.]

Again... the Illuminati are clearly seeking advice from IC in figuring out how to run things.

Okay, back to careful reading and consideration...

Re: Net Neutrality (19 replies, posted in Politics)
Okay, Flint... a suggestion.
Start from square 1. Pretend Arby and I just flew in from Mars and have no idea of what the net neutrality debate is. If we were to read your two posts, we'd get that there's something called net neutrality, someone had a proposal on it, and said proposal is terrible and evil. That does not help anyone understand what's going on. A bit more clarification may be necessary.

Re: Increased intrusions in European Airspace (12 replies, posted in Politics)
To be fair, the view of the Caribbean from an airplane must be pretty neat, particularly during sunrise or sunset. Maybe he just really wants his pilots to see it!

Re: Net Neutrality (19 replies, posted in Politics)
... Yeah, so I have no idea of what you're comparing here.
