Almost as good an update as I could have made. Which means its pretty f'ing awesome.

And there is a little more to banking than making cfs. You also have to make occult centers. Silly n00beh.

Update

(180 replies, posted in Universal News)

Mods, I saw this ideas in the ideas forum and I think its pretty good.

Why dont we do 1 practice heat. No eliminations. Up to half the team can be switched. Gives people a chance to play with each other and get some ideas going and sort out inactives etc (a few fams started ICC last round just to have people get bored on day 3). Also, I know for a fact a lot of people will come out of retirement again so gives teh rusty's a little time to get back in touch. Finally, it gets everyone into the spirit of things.

We can change the actual amount of start resourses etc in the real round if people wanna start ICC with a different amount of resourses/expos etc. This should just get people excited.

And I really dont have a problem with removing nw limits. But as Jets said, it does encourage ONE good superactive attacker kicking ass left right and center (as we all know, one attacker with 2x the fleet owns 2 attackers with half each..) .instead off a bunch working together (some need to stay small to stay out of range of big attackers, its a valid strategy, while others need to stay small to stay in range of the people staying small in other fams tongue). Again, removing nw limits allows the elite to go at each other and since ICC should be full of the best players, with everyone starting even, I dont mind it.

Blacklisting me is unfair Nolio x(

Especially because I warn all my fams that there is a high probability of me going inactive midway through the round tongue

Dont mind new ideas but doubt it will save the game. Maybe pull a few people back for a few rounds etc.

Just good friends with most of them through the years.

Maxa and missile were there I believe. And STB played with JSO (Echoes I think) and Planteers (the original ones) in the later rounds. And the STB fams have finished top 5, which is more than I can say for any other pw fams that moved to MW, Andro or Tri. Except if you consider Oblique (and me) as pinwheel players when we first started playing together in Andro (note, we had both played galaxies other than pw for 7-8 rounds before starting together). Just mostly in pinwheel before than and our fam members were also a lot of pinwheel players (kindof explaining why FfT is a mostly pinwheel based group tongue)

And yes, I was the biggest banker outside STB that round. They dont show fam names in history anymore. And I dont remember what the fam name was. Playtronics or Beers may remember. They were with me.

Playing around networth restrictions is part of the game though. Like bankers taking from their own attackers even. Or having a small player so the HUGE ones with ginormous fleets dont keep clearing them. Having attackers with different nw's etc is part of the game. Remove p-mode and v-mode though obviously...

Unless there are crap fams from other galaxies, it wont happen. BTW, my family beat STB in round 12 (by networth).

And the STBs since then are not fake. They became one of the few PW legacy fams which moved on to different galaxies. Kinda like the Munchers or TDC of pinwheel smile

Last time was pretty good. I think the best fams did make it to the end (I did predict Smirnoff and LTs getting through, Noir was a bit off a suprise but tbh, any active fam with organizers such as Noir and Zidi should do well).

I believe it was a pretty fair round, very fun and quite balanced. Although having a prefectly set galaxy (having all systems exact same distance, like every even column in every even row has a system), all systems with exactly the same number of planets (21 planets exact per system) and each fam with an exact location exactly the same number of ticks from the surrounding fams (kinda drunk to do the math but it should be fairly simple with a symmetrical system) will reduce luck and almost totally base the round on skill. Stuff like random planet bonus generation and if a fam has the 4 most aggressive fams on each side so its kinda dead from the start gives a bit off a luck factor but any fam that cant play or diplomat their way around these problems doesnt deserve to win the ICC regardless.

aww... fams of 8 were nice. WTF is a fam of 5. Barely any co-ordination required.

More people, harder to work. True test of skill. And sad to say, they are tempting me with this yikes.

IC challenge was DEFINATELY one of the few extremely fun rounds Ive had in IC.

ombash... Wouldnt that not work once you have over 100% ob? (which should be under 2 weeks into the round...)

And no, keeping con bonus that high is a waste of resourses.

Why is noone considering alliances. Or at least the fact that fam 1,2 and 4 are allied yikes

777 has 4 attackers (they may be small for a reason tongue. Like no need for greater fleet maybe?)

I dont know why a fam needs more than 4 active attackers, especially if there are huge bankers to give them the extra fleets they need smile

I think child molestation (and this is ACTUAL molestation, like and uncle raping his 13 year old niece, not 'oh, my teacher brushed my shoulder too hard while walking by' or 'oh, my mommy touched my bumbum when helping me try out jeans') should be punishable by death. Im OK with the sentences for most other crimes smile.

By the wya, I think child abuse laws should be a lot more lax. To think how much better a place America would be if parents could just slap the shit out of their kids to get them to behave. Beats attempting to reason with 6-13 year olds yikes.
