roll on Forevers ban ending!!!!!!
It's a pity he's doing it on purpose 
He has some good posts and can contribute well! Instead, he's intentionally doing it to get banned
As per the new rules, first one was 1 day. Then 7 days. Next one will be 3 months.
1) Open Virgo galaxy for new players training. Hire tutors for their work to teach new players. This will reduce illegal drafting. But I think we need to do differently. Make it normal, well, almost, but maybe limit up to 50 planets instead of just 10, giving more time for new players to learn. However, if they want to go to normal galaxy, they can press button "Complete mission" of having more than 10 planets and graduate!
Yep, this could be a good idea. I'm not really certain why Virgo was closed in the first place ages ago. I think it was due to the lack of committed Tutors though. There is now a tutorial for new players once they join (tells them what to click on and what it does) and also we have Supernova, which is supposed to be a 'safer' environment for people to learn. If they're ready to join a fam galaxy, then they're also welcome to join Starburst.
2) Open new galaxies, only allow one normal galaxy to play. Allowing new players to try them out. We can keep Starburst as Advanced for competitive vets. So we can have other normal galaxies for new players and average players? We need to figure out how to keep new players from joining, instead of having one galaxy and keeping it full. "Oh, you want to join? Sorry, it's full and wait for next 1.5 month or wait for new spot to open up." New players will not come back and try it. It sucks.
We do only allow 1 normal galaxy? The problem with opening up new galaxies though is that we have a limited player base. So we stretch our selves to thin if we have too many glaxies.
3) Or maybe we keep adding one spot per family every time the galaxy is filled up, allowing new players to join.
We do this currently, so that there is always space for new players to join.
4) Advertise, advertise, advertise!!!!! Warchild UK is doing a lot of cool stuffs to advertise. We can do something about it. Also we need to add imperial conflict to gaming portal such as mmorpg.com.
Yep, need to gain more players!
Okay, so was a previous DotA player, and then quit for a long long time! Considering dabbling again, just for fun.
Should I join the LoLtrain or stick with the roots!
(Also, didn't realise DotA 2 still has most of the old heroes, w00t!)
Discuss!
. i only way i convinced him to random is if i landed with me he'd play if he didnt he wouldnt..
In my opinion, this is why the game has gone to this state, really. People just random around, and only if they land with someone specific they play. Else they just occupy a slot and dont play until they get killed off.
It's one of the reason we had to get rid of Stay in Fam rounds too. Because people would just spend their entire round trying to random in with friends and then create 'stacked' fams for the round after.
We even brought in Free Drafting so you 'could' play with people you wanted. But STILL it's not enough...
You guys seem to complain that there's so many problems, but you don't realise that your actions, create the problems in the first place.
If you have solutions, feel free to head over to Ideas thread - because failing that, we don't have much time left.
There are 3 "ghost" spots atm. So the galaxy will never reach it's maximum. Just 3 less than it. However, if the galaxy is filling up evenly, then yes, we may add 1 more spot per family.
The ingame java client has always not been good. Not sure if it even works.
Perhaps try what I use? Mibbit!. It's webbased too, no downloads required.
I think we should have a little more freedom on certain things.
Such as?
What the ideas in this thread are heading towards are full drafting. We've had that in the past and it suits a certain niche. There are still people who want fully random teams, and that also is good.
It's hard to strike a balance.
In an ideal world, we have thousands of players and galaxies with different setups that suit everyone.
Sadly, this is not a luxury we have
Just sounds like bad luck to me 
Nowadays, the random joining is based on the spots available. So a fam with more spots available, has a higher chance of receiving a new player than one which is almost full.
Negative. Least nothing has been decided amongst mods.
People aren't given 'deletes' as a chance to random into another family. Yes, that's what everyone uses it for but it was never designed just for the sake of giving everyone 2 shots at finding a family. We give you a delete incase you want to leave your current family. That's my opinion anyway.
Hell, there are even talks of removing the ability for people to delete altogether. That way once you land in a family, you stick with them. But that has different consequences and a different topic.
Note, if you do this from Fam Forums, it'll create a window within a window!
At the top navigation bar, there is now a link "Back to IC!", incase you're in the Main Forums and want to get back to your gaming!
My comment still stands 
sucks for ic death's fam they would of won the round before it even started lol
I am saddened at the sign of this. This is the most true testament to IC's downfall
Oh ok - well, this is a general 'theme' idea that goes with all the links that Stefan implemented.
Maybe an idea for down the road is to have an option in Preferences (most these dont work anymore) that can disable all this Info for "advanced" users.
Yep, should be sorted 
...least up until the next issue
Due to some issue, we had to re-reset! This is now done and players can rejoin the galaxy.
If you seem to have multiple empires (they wont work), please send me a Forum PM or see me on IRC with your username, and I will remove them for you. They don't do anything atm.
Thanks and sorry for the trouble!
Still free atm.
Having a VIP serves no purpose atm. If once we get a good sized number of players again, we can start adding stuff for VIPs only.
Right now, there's just no point in adding thigns for VIPs only when we need to be improving the game for everyone.
Yep, I'm resetting - I had the same problem.
Can someone see me on irc? Is this still happening?
Doesn't that get removed when you have a Family pic set?
It's not meant to be this way - but this one requires Stefan to take a look. Does need to get fixed yet.
They need to fix the hall of fame =P
Yep
i dont see y they dont change who can attack who based on size.
What would you propose? I haven't had a hell of a lot of time recently, been really busy irl. I havn't been around for about a month.
Anyway if it's a straight up % change (e.g. 40% go to 75%, or "maybe" based on planet count) then I'm not against it for Supernova, nor are any of the mods I'm sure. I just think we haven't really had time to look into it. Especially cos when I asked earlier, all I got was some random numbers from Render which I couldn't work up the energy to read.
Propose something, and if it's easy enough, we can do it.
We're really not here to kill the game, despite general consensus. We volunteer our own time, to try to make what little difference we can, so that you guys can have a little bit of fun.
