Re: Starburst Round XIII

nah its not that KT its just farming is all not much u can do about it.. Devilz is the king of farming just what happens when he gets in a good fam he farms every fam he can whether its the lowest or 2nd rank fam

Re: Starburst Round XIII

@Forum I NEED Alliances....
Will someone plz tell me again why we can't play a round with allies next round?
And now I know Devils is King Of The Farmers, so that makes Colorado Lord Of the Flies
Seriously guys.. It's "A Tale of Two Cities"- "It is the best of times. It is the worst of Times...."
Yet what we need here is "A Bronx Tale"

@exceed, Wasn't that during a war?

@everybody, Well anyway, yeah, what about this alliance thing?
Can we get hopping on this or what?
At the moment I nearly don't care how it's set up- I just want to try it and work the kinks out from there

So how about it guys? May we play allies next round?

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Yes, allies would be interesting, but wasn't there a problem with the alliance stuff ?

Re: Starburst Round XIII

What's obvious is that there is a problem. Yet no major game play changes ever seem to happen. I suggest you drastically extend the amount of time exploration lasts before combat can begin to ensure families have an ample time to build and prepare for actual wars. As it currently stands most of the round is just consistent planet grabs and core clears. Allow the universe to get explored first, then let the wars begin.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

i think the opps are the issue.

if wars were just attackers vs attackers and planet raids it would be better but. now the first fam to have the most wizzys and agents wins. you also have the case where a fam can just buy loads of agents and nuke all round even when they have lost a war.

maybe something like, you can only perform offensive opps on someone who has that opp as well. i.e if i have place nukes and another banker doesn't - i cant nuke him because he cant nuke me.

this would mean that bankers could have no opps and not need to have loads of wizzys and agents to protect pop etc... thus funding wars for longer.

same applies to rezzies.

but now when a war is declared both fams opp the hell out of each other then go in and attack, it is boring.

things like IP and infills would still be fine.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Re: Starburst Round XIII

you farm pingu to like 100 planets death,


you got your team 93 killed for not wanted to pay 90 for a nap,

and now you will get your new team killed.


and bud you dont like ops?

try not popping with -30 magic

Re: Starburst Round XIII

first off I farm pingu to death for cheating and getting 3 fams to AI and in 93 a NAP was never offered so I left cause like u do u just farm fams just cause u can and I was banking/partax not much I could do but just op ur fam.. I joined this fam and all u did was hit us even when we was at war with 91 all u did was farm and interfere nobody even attacked u... then u raided all our new expos then u wanna declare war when I clear like 10-12 planets lame excuse but what does it really matter round over anyway

Re: Starburst Round XIII

lol all you are is smoke and mirrors,

you explored on us to gain shares to raid, and you did raid us,

ialll i have done is clear attackers and did a small raid on kuwait


you raiding us started the ops on you, enjoy

keep hiding out of range

Re: Starburst Round XIII

or just allow every player to have two accounts in same fam .. so u can do more than one role and would be interesting

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Trust me- You don't want that. cool

shizt cleaning up after the inactives is work enough for Great Leaders.
and most people just don't have time for that- only the truly dedicated would do it.
The rest would just laze around.
It would be a bigger pain in the ass then what it's worth.

And after all that you'd get tired of me winning all the time cool

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Allies would be cool but only if mods can get it working, I would hate to see a bug where one fam can have multiple allies or something along those lines.  Something does need to be done about farming though, and I think KT's new announcement about 40% nw rule being 24 hours instead of 72 will help, but it is not enough.  The mods could assess the situation when one fam is claiming to be farmed and maybe if the guilty party was infact guilty of farming, they could put a tag in their forum name declaring them farmers for the rest of the round, or better yet, decrease the morale losses for every single family in the galaxy, leaving the farmers with normal morale.  That would ensure no one gets farmed to deletion and also it could add a new dynamic to the game, like if 2 families decided to farm then the rest of the gal has better morale than both those fams...I dunno just a thought, I'm stoned tongue

Re: Starburst Round XIII

I think the solution is that the morale system needs to be looked at. You need to have a bigger penalty for attacking a fam way smaller than you therefore you can only do a few attacks on a tiny fam before your morale runs out. Then you wouldn't need the 40% rule because you could only do lets say 2 attacks on a family 1/3 your size before all of your morale runs out whereas they could hit you back with 20 so the risk is really high to start something with a smaller family just for those 2-3 planets

Re: Starburst Round XIII

I don't think you can blame the game rules because things have been changed and changed and changed, but the same problems still persist.  The root cause I think is that some players have no developed their abilities over time and appear to make the same mistakes round after round.  Small families can indeed be very strong and can defend against larger families that has been proven before.  I think the main problem of this game lies with inactivity.  Inactives needs to be removed faster and easier,  and I believe there needs to be a better system of using a families resources without having to wait for people to log in.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

The player base, plus inactives, Plus alliance bugs, plus skill levels, and attitudes, factor in being the main problems of this game.
It needs an enema!
But we all play huge parts....
Some, if not many of us, leave and come back.
Why do we come back?
Why do we even play in the first place?
Something about this game has caused it to be an ancient, semi-secret, dare I say, 'Cult' favourite.
At the moment the only options seem to be go with the flow-
So that being the case expect more of the same-
And step your [bloomin'] game up players.
These players farm for a reason. It wins games. This is a war game-
The object is not to get farmed-
But it's big fish eats little fish, bitches- Be the Big fish
Or be savage piranha!

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Lol, we can talk IC problems in other thread. Whatever the problem is, we still here to play anyway, and may be the problem is actually any of us  big_smile

@ICD: yes you were victim of illegal alliance, but you can't pretend like "Police of IC", mods already take care them and Pingu's fam already suffered enough with that punishment

@Devils: you just repeat the history of succesful farmers big_smile

We know that this is war game, but its also community game, so please be wise when farming, respect each other so we can have fun for next rounds.

Congratulations ICD wink cool

Pingu's cheating fam received long over due justice at the hands of ICD.
It should be the justice that farmers and cheaters of his kind receive every round.

Furthermore I challenge Devilz to only farm the families that farm next round and let's see what happens-
unless you're in my fam- then I want you to farm everyone out of the universe- just one round cool!

Re: Starburst Round XIII

lol last 3 rounds pretty sure i was farmed into oblivion, and we are hardly doing any of that at the top this round,

89 destroyed 90.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

What orbit said, people still cannot figure out this simple game even after years of playing, so they are doomed forever. Not really much you can do about it, the player base is too small to change a lot of anything either, it's just a complete joke

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Devilz you are never farmed.... People attack you and you seem to have this vendetta to try and kill them for the whole round. So they only way to get rid of pesky little devilz is to make it so you cannot do a huge amount with what you have. If you took defeat like a man, accepted that you were beaten, napped then moved on you would have been fine but you always seem to just go crazy and not move onto the next fight but get stuck in a fight to try prove that you didn't lose.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

89 only destroyed 90 because 90 would not take a nap. sometimes there is nothing you can do.
