BTW we can try an eco round but 3 weeks would seem like a bit too much...

This is a reshuffle round

How about this?

160 spots, way too much

make 100 max, no point putting more and then wait rest of the round to get players

damn make it 80 spots 1 man fam standard rules everybody on his own on a small map, only then you'll have a fun round.

It is obvious PW is not more the place to play in a family with the standard IC setup, you'll have to move to MW if you want that. I have several msgs in my inbox of old and skilled players saying this is their last round, and honestly, I dont feel like playing again the same old song over the same old place, it has lost all the fun, so Mizzle if you want to give life back to PW turn it into an SS gal with standard rules (no HC) so people dont fall again and lose motivation because their family is shit, gone inactive, its full of multis, etc...

Most fams this round had a max of 4 active players, and not really active in most of the cases, the next round will be the same, this setup is OBSOLETE and must be changed!

why do u need so many fams in pw.. try to make less fams as possible get some of those new guys in vets fams that way u get more activity.. ur stretching the limits of skill out too far

Let's get this shit moving

and Killas you didnt get my point, I say this round has proved that PW is not the place where you can play with a family anymore, no matter you start with 8, any planning goes to hell because you're lucky if half of them are active, so you have to re-evaluate the family setup and mostly there's no time and no morale to do it. I have seen a quantum as fleet admiral again (I did it 2 rounds ago) and families losing their capacity of attacking, opping, etc..
The result is a lost of competitivity and motivation in the players that remain active.

What I say is, to play in a family, coordinate with your mates, draw a plan for a round etc.. you have MW, you cannot do it in PW, it doesnt work, so many people decides to go SS (or are forced to).  So if we gonna have a gal based in families and many people in those families have to go SS, then the few families that can actually play as a family they have advantages over the rest, and to balance that advantage the best way to do it is by turning PW in a SS gal.

Now you can say I am wrong and try another round where half of the players will go inactive ruining the round for the other half, the problem is that it doesnt happen in a balanced way, so the family with less inactives wins, and this game shouldnt be played that way.

make the fam larger.. put more players in it.. Pw is too dull go up to 15-20 players per.. u got more people teaching others how to play and higher chance to get some of the new players in active working fams instead of all these semi active SS playing families

IC death that was already tested and failed, dont you remember the round of 4 fams with 30 players each?? it was stopped before end and was called 'fiasco round'

bah if you still want to keep on the obsolete settings go on, but at least make it HC intrafam (not with enemies) so a family can keep the planets from an inactive (no matter how small he is) and dont have to wait 48h.

bigger fams .... is meant .... 10 people big or 15  ...not 30

haha so true flash so true
