Topic: It's time to Reshuffle after Every Round.

With the few players left in the game, it's time to start reshuffling both mw and pw after every round for competition reasons.  I know a lot are going to whine about this idea but i'm putting this out there and I'm currently in one of those families that benefitted heavily from stay in fam.  Both PW and MW this round saw what it led to.  You have a lot of people who continously random and random to find a top family instead of just trying to play and they hope to get in that top family so that the next round they are there for the start.  Both WS' fam in MW and my fam in PW are families that show this.   

I like having a round to stay together but from a competition point of view with the player count and few quality players left I think this needs to be implimented.

It also could lead to atleast a few more VIP purchases.

Re: It's time to Reshuffle after Every Round.

When Parrot, KT and I were (active) mods, I think we had pretty much agreed upon this change - least for PW.  Not sure what happened though...

It's definitely something that needs to be brought in, as 'fam stacking' can get quite overpowered.

I think that even MW at this point needs it.

On top of this change.  I also believe that 35% personal attack rule needs to be removed to get rid of coring and Building defense stations needs to be removed from SD.

Re: It's time to Reshuffle after Every Round.

Sorry was supposed to be 35% personal attack rule but I think thats what you understood anyways.  To negate farming from it you just increase the morale loss with a penalty so that it isn't worth the time to farm a family but still gives the whole family a way to hit when being cored by families that aren't man enough to fight anyother way. 

With small family sizes and small player totals.  Making one of those people stay small just to protect against it is unfair to that player and wastes a spot in an already small family.  Promotes inactivity.

Re: It's time to Reshuffle after Every Round.

Josh is right. Galaxys need to be reshuffled every round. mw and pw this round is totally unbalanced. I agree with everything he said in his post above. The tactic of coring is ruining the game.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

Re: It's time to Reshuffle after Every Round.

as i do like all of your ideas i dont know if a larger morale pentalty is what is needed. that would mean that a small player with only 2 planets would ddestroy someones morale if they needed to be removed.

Re: It's time to Reshuffle after Every Round.

the solution is simple. You keep the 35% family rule in place and eliminate the personal 35% rule. no more coring.

Re: It's time to Reshuffle after Every Round.

I'd just like to point out that my fam (60) did not bring anyone new into the family by draft - we brought our core 4 drafts in and that was that.  Same for allies I think - totally random who has been picked up these past 2 rounds.  So I wouldn't say it's totally unbalanced, but randomization didn't do people favors in MW tongue

We weren't saying anyone did anything to gain people illegally there Oxygen, What we are saying would just limit families like yours to one round together with luck you guys had for randoms.  Instead of the last 2 rounds of a great family it would limit it to just the first one and the next round be back with a chance for different great families.

Re: It's time to Reshuffle after Every Round.

Well for instance this round in Pinwheel.  69 was the last ranked family last round because it only had a few players at start of the round but they were guys like Templare, Metrex, and Myself.  We chose to take the round off but be ready for the next round.  No one grew so fools kept deleting.  The smart ones saw that we were waiting for this round and stayed in the family doing nothing last round in order to make a run at this round. 

We didn't tell anyone to keep randoming and we didn't kill people off to make room for randoming.  We just didn't play and people who wanted to do well last round left on their own leaving room
