there will still be a huge element of randomness with 1/1 drafting, especially if the fam size is 12 or more. To say that 1/1 drafting will cut down or eliminate randomness is just a puff of smoke. Like Arch keeps saying, you will have a bunch of vets and vips spread across a whole bunch of families creating more competition. It will be an ICC all on its own except this time you will have to work with 9+ randoms, instead of having the entire family full of people you wanted.

Trivia
740 unique users have logged on today. A user can have several playing accounts.

1070 players are active currently.

I'm assuming that players active are main accounts? If so, then how many of those are from virgo(including tutors)? factor those out , and now split it between 2 galaxies?

I understand where people are coming from with leaving PW open, but it's not going to kill people to play in the super galaxy for one round.

I like the idea.

This shit is all so booring. I only read archangels posts they are funnyer and they make sence

Leave PW alone X(

you know about beta, you've even said yourself that you have been gone for a very long time so you don't know how it's done now adays. Which I may add you've proven over and over again. And if you are such a master at strategy then why are you ranked 17th? You've said several times that you would conquer 746 easily, yet they are now ranked 7th. I don't seem them falling in ranks at all.  And if you weren't such a fool you would realize that I know who you are, we've talked plenty of bloody times so it's not my fault that you can't remember jack all. And your so called suggestions are just stupid variations of what people have been saying for the last little while.

exactly lethal.

and arganon you are a poor excuse for a player, and your brain seems to shrink on a daily basis lol. i already has this exact argument with you and showed you why you were being stupid. THERE ARENT ENOUGH PLAYERS. get it through your thick skull.

oh and as for your greatness. i remember pwning the living bullocks out of you in andro after you convinced johan to leave my brother's fam in tri a few years ago. it was my first round leading a top 10 fam, so i was a n00b, and yet still had no trouble killing you. your fams never do well, your strats bigger donkey balls than flint's and all you do is bitch bitch bitch about how you've played since beta and are therefore amazing. I also player in the betas, but that doesnt make me amazing. i am considered good(not amazing) becos i do well consistently. you don't ever do well and therefore can't be considered good.

Arch, everyone has already had this conversation with him. He's just too stupid to learn.

Alch :

"you know about beta"
Sure do I think i died 7 times during beta2 or something of the sort ! :S

"you've even said yourself that you have been gone for a very long time so you don't know how it's done now adays"
1 Round is that a longtime ?:S

"Which I may add you've proven over and over again."
If you are constantly hit by old foes who cant leave the passed in the passed its not so easy to get something going you know.
And I am not one of them chickens who go into hiding mind you !

"And if you are such a master at strategy then why are you ranked 17th?"
If you want I can post a summary of our fam news analyze.
Basicly 10 fams are constantly hitting us wars or no wars.
Not easy to cope with if you got at the best 6 active able players.

"You've said several times that you would conquer 746 easily,"
What did Artic do ?
He first asked hes allie for aid against us.
Next he told all fams the war was over to get aid by means of lieing to other fams to get them to fight us at the same time as 46.
Thats really bold of a rank5 against a rank16.

"yet they are now ranked 7th."
Is he whining for naps or threatning with hes allie perhaps ?

"I don't seem them falling in ranks at all."
Nope but then again the round aint over and the show aint over until the fat lady sings !

"And if you weren't such a fool you would realize that I know who you are,"
You havent got a clue as to who I am.

"we've talked plenty of bloody times so it's not my fault that you can't remember jack all."
By all means remind me !

"And your so called suggestions are just stupid variations of what people have been saying for the last little while."
There is 2 possibilities there:
I made thoes plans from the start and others learned them from me.
or I learned them from others and are now using em.
But the truth is its a mix of BOTH.
"No plans can survive reality of combat" a known General once said.
Do you know who he was ?

Erwin Rommel !

I can add one thing to that:
You cant make a plan work unless you got a set of ppl whos mind are set to do FUCUSED efforts in ONE direction.

finaly:
When you have alone managed to force a inactive fam into becomming active.
When you have built up 4 bankers during a singel round.
When you have rebuilt your account 20 times after beeing killed by raids.
When you have made 50 detailed battleplans in 48 hours.
When you have managed to outvit a far better fam when it comes to player material.
When you have fought 3 fams at the time for half a round and won all wars.
When you have fought and gotten a stallmate against a fam who NO OTHER fam could defeat during that round.
When you have opped a far supperior fam in player material and activity level and eco levels into submission while deffending against their even stronger allie.

THEN YOU CAN CALL ME N00B ! :S
Until then plz refrain urself from such remarks.

or 45 familes of 20

I like 40 fams of 20 with no drafting ... keeps things interesting round after round ... you don't have the same group of players playing with each other round after round ... gets boring that way
