Nice post on history of 27 smile ...Like I said before, I do think you're the one fam that's played well but have been struck by bad luck + good moves by other fams.

And I think you nail it on the head when you say this:
"and I think that's the biggest problem with the game right now. Families give in to easily to larger families, and then the larger ones grow without ever spending a dime on defending themselves. If families would fight wars, and not delete, or pay 100 planets for a NAP, it would level the playing field."


People need to realise that the aim shouldn't be to win straight up.  Go have fun, go do what you need to.  Go fight wars, don't be afraid of losing - and if you do well, and have fun while doing it, and work with like-minded people, you're bound to naturally do well smile


----

A separate issue though about more drafts with less member fams, I don't agree witht hat.  Having a higher draft ratio in a fam will create more 'super' fams.  What IC needs is to spread the talent more, which means more randoms and less drafts per fam.  We tried it with a 9/2 set up (9 sized fam - 2 drafts) and it was pretty good in terms of competition and skill distribution.

Okay! So things aren't going really well this round for some reason for most of the fams yikes

What do you guys attribute it to?  Why are things generally stagnated and not moving?  Is there no leadership this round?

These ranks are quite dismal really yikes

In particular, I'd like to hear from the following fams - These fams were pointed out to be strong fams due to their lineups at start.  What went wrong?  Why are you lagging?

#3409 - Gen/Parrot Fam:  Okay, you guys were always pitted to do well.  Don't seem to be too efficient, but yea, you're doing quite well compared to others, so we'll leave it at that.

#3436 - Broker/Nandro/Nightwish fam:  Yea, definitely one of the better fams now.  Strong eco and great attacking planning and executing abilities.

#3408 - Noir/Stan/Rawr Fam:  What happened to you guys?  You guys were doing so well, what do you attribute to your drop?

#3427 - Spam/Nox Fam:  Well, you guys got hit early by 36 so put you a long way back - good move by them, bad luck for you.  So that's understandable - But it's been a while now since that happened, hows the recovery?

#3430 - Colo/Tico Fam:  Had really really high expectations of you guys with Colo attacking and being active.  No hard feelings from last round, but I'm just wondering what happened to you guys this round?  Where are you and how's your round going so far?  Did you suicide on a war?  Over committ?

#3434 - Pitbull/Venom/Jeff Fam:  You guys had a dream run last round.  Why so lacking this round?  What do you attribute it to?  What's going on from Super fam of last round, to falling so behind now?  You have 33% of NW of top fam.

#3407 - Orbit Fam:  Had highish expectations of you guys, thought you'd pull something.  Can still.  But yea, what's been your roadblock this round?

#3423 - AA/ICDeath Fam:  Suprised with you guys - I knew the lineup of this early and wasn't expecting much.  But you guys have done well to be where you are.  Obviously not #1 contention, but still a good result so far for you guys.



I'm not saying the round is over, rather the oppostite.  Still so much time for HEAPS of things to happen this round, but at the same time I'm just curious to know why there seems to be such a huge gap this round.

Be nice to hear from these fams of whats up this round, and how their round has been progressing.


(Btw this isn't a mod post - it's a Torqez-player post).

Consider this some sort of Analytical PvC big_smile ...just something to chase away the boredom! tongue

The previous rounds you could apply as an individual and you'd be placed in a 'Random' Team.

Not this time though - you need to be a team of 6 and submit it together.  But yea, feel free to find a fam in the ICC forums.

Firstly, thats a different issue - it was done for synchronising.

Secondly, pretty sure it was decided before the round even started that it was going to be shorter than normal, so that it could match MW and we could implement the race changes.

@Torqez: It is true, we have ended rounds early before despite a few other people that were against it. I dont know where you got this "if one person doesnt want it to end we cant do it"  line! LOL thats a new one.


lol - what are you on about?  Since I've been mod, I've never seen PW, MW or Capri end early.  So saying rubbish stuff like that isn't warranted at all.

Also, why are you so two-faced when it comes to forums?:

04:27:17: <Jason> for the record: im not giving up on this round
04:27:20: <Jason> im having fun
04:27:26: <Jason> id prefer we restart
04:27:28: <Jason> if not, oh well
04:27:28: <Jason> tongue
04:27:30: <Jason> thats all
04:27:40: <Torqez> hehe
04:27:46: <Torqez> well yea, i wouldn't mind restarting at all
04:27:53: <Torqez> but i feel for the guys who want to keep playing as is
04:28:02: <Torqez> and so long as someon does, i dont see how me as a mod can do so
04:28:05: <Torqez> im sure u can appreciate that
04:28:23: <Jason> yea
04:28:28: <Torqez> Considering you've modded games before too
04:28:30: <Torqez> and been responsible for others
04:28:32: <Jason> true

Or wait, are you gonna accuse me of making up these logs too?

And, personally, it makes no difference to me if the round ends earlier - I have no vested interest in this.  It affects me even less than any of you.  So I'm not even biased.  But seeing from this thread and talking to others, there are a plethora of people who don't want the round to end - just cos you or a few other people can't be bothered to play on. 

I even told you this on irc yesterday.

Well if you were thinking beyond the immediate, and more globally, you'd know this wasn't the case at all.


"Anyhow, this game is slowly dying i dont understand why the hell the mods aint making smaller families, more families. "
- We've done this EVERY round.  Pretty soon there'll be fams of 1 ppl left.  We couldn't reduce the size of families this round, because it wasn't a reshuffle round.  Understand the game mechanics before harping on the same thing again and again.


"Now we only have 3 active and good families, and HEY! number 1 and 2 are allies!  now they kicked 08 their ass and are crying in the forums to end the round because they have no one to fight against. "
- If you learn more about the situation, it isn't the top 2 fams crying at all.  As a matter of fact, it's a few of the other fams crying that they can't catch up and the round is over.  Find out more about the situation before making such comments.


"but if they stopped allying themself with each other they had someone to fight against. "
- If you paid close attention to this round, there were a lot of fams in contention. We had Tico/Colorado fam.  Orbits fam.  Pitbul/Venom Fam.  Noir's fam.  Brokers/Nightwish Fam. Genesis Fam.  Spam/Nox/Teddy fam.  That's 7 strong fams in contention when the round started.  The fact that all of them have been run out of contention is largely to 36 and 09s credit.  Stupid comments like "if they stopped allying themself with each other" is really not applicable, since there were a number of strong fams, and any thing could have been played out.


"mods and the top families are holding back this game from becomming decent."
- Your comments are completely nonsensical - whoever you are.

Yea, lol.

You make your own team, of WHOEVER you want.  You submit your team to us.  And we place you all together in a fam.

The point is to present the best fam possible you can make - be it with your friends, your enemies (maybe you can form an alliance with your rivals) or bring back old vets for the cause.

Eitehr way - you put forward the best team you can make, and battle it out in a 2 round play off.
