I'm all for giving it a go, just because I oppose it doesn't mean it won't work, if it makes it more fun then "hell yes" I'm all for it, but I know some of the players in this game rage over losing one single planet and vow for the next thousand years that they'll be hunting you. It doesn't take much to be "labelled" dishonorable and soon there's a lynching of an innocent person\family.

Yeah it's pretty much common knowledge where most people hail from, just the new guys are a mystery for awhile.

Hi there me again It wouldn't take too many rounds to know who logs on and when...

I second that Vote.

You a correct in saying the established rules turn away new players, but surely this is at the bottom of the list as to why. I mean, half a day for something to build (provided you're allowed to)? Having to do what you're told "because thats the way to win"?

Halve the build times. People these days just turn the x-box\psp\wii\PS3 on. Has anyone actually thought through the Psychie of the current players? Obsessive compulsive springs to mind....

So you've been honorable all round, you're going to win the round because you played fairly etc, the rest of the Galaxy doesn't think you deserve to win (percieved farming, dodgy moves, or just don't like Render winning) so they all drop their NAPs and send you to the bottom. You forget the crap that has already gone on before when it is an Illegal Alliance, is it even worth playing with certain people knowing that their head hunted by other players? Why bother playing for a month when you can lose it all in one day?

I voted that they are fine the way they are, I do not think it would be good for the game. It opens too many cans of worms imo.

yeah I did see that but man I have to wear sunglasses just to look at it lol

Oh and I think the turning off lasers thing should ONLY be between Fam members and not Allies. I wouldn't want to be NAP'ed to someone who's laser trapping a planet just for their Ally (whom I'm not NAP'ed to) to take it and rape me..

Yes I agree, but you can do that now, the problem with it is travel times (having one planet in your HS) etc, it sounds like it could be exploited yes, but then why haven't the top fams been doing that? because it's not as easy as it sounds.. imo.

If they're not on the "Enact Trade List" then it's just a normal attack.

I like it, I'd like to be able to "turn off lasers" too, so scenarios like the one above isn't as easy as IMLC makes it sound, you'd obviously send some sort of Fleet to "take-over" the planet as well.
