IMO I prefer to get knocked the first week then half way into the round....

tbh i havent read anything in the forum for the past 3 pages lol i just caught up.. first off i did not farm unicorns hell they are my only target.. i told mods several times at BOR.. over and over and over i shouted about the gal is unbalanced.. u dont have 13 players with leadership abilities atm..its just the truth.. 2 fams i saw this round had no leader no sort of setup or anything.. mods said they wouldnt close them cause it would inbalance the map or something.. which i think was stupid.. u had 12-14 players in those fams who had no leadership skills and of been shuffled around but was they nope.. their is no main problem with IC its just in honesty nobody wants admit that the only way this works is if u do large fams.. or u do like a sign up for leader.. however many leaders u get thats how many fams u get.. i also told mods about how small the gal is.. round ended as fast as it started.. tbh me and devilz knew we'd be 1 and 2.. nobody can really compete with the activity... thats the upside to having access to computers all day doesnt mean we dont have a life just i learned to mix checkin up constantly into my daily routine.. end of the day suck it up.. the round sucked i told u wat would happened and so far everything i said became true (galaxy too small, Families should of been closed off, not enough decent leader, round would be over by week 2).. even the community is screaming for larger fams

Side note: im sorta high when i typed this so not all of it will probably make sense and i forgot the point to this post haha lol

to hung over to make a real comment

but i had idea that could solve the problems

i think the map needs to be bigger, 10-13 planets per system, if the map is really big, everyone is spread out, making it harder to farm early cause the attacker would be stuck with planets for 2 days if he was trying to pass them off. i remeber times where the map is more then one sectors, and i could stay in one sector of the map all round, and fend off bigger teams.

lol i must be slipping, i think i had it wrapped up quicker last round...

Icd agreed devilz agreed with point both made >>so make map bigger but also add radom team maker so like in WOW u join a dungeon someone who knows how to be leader  is picks leader and a fam is formed after that so its like putting names in a hat once leader is picked so u have amount of players who will be playing and amount of leaders who will lead the fams then bang decide on how many in each fam and randomize

well hell it takes days to get to talk to one of u most of the time.. u guys are usually ask and i was being polite when i said 9-10.. shit we need like 12 players per fam or something. u dont have 13 leaders nor 10 maybe 8 at the most if i was being modest.. u make fams so small the leaders remaining cant keep the medicore players moviated cause they random in fams with no leader or a leader who has no skills leading no diplo or eco.. u ask any player whose played with me i've trained talked adjusted my time and avaliability to help them out.. i dont bash them or anything i simply give them pep talks and show them how to do it better.. ask any of them.. im sure devilz is doing the same thing and ukwarchild probably is also.. xelus is a decent leader possibility u need to setup a leader thread and run it like that so atleast u have decent skilled leaders teaching our newer players (what lil we have) and keeping the medicore players active and wanting to play.. if u hadnt notice majority of players leaving are the medicore ones.. keeping them active is key to bringing back life sorta to IC

agreed

To be honest the icpg setup aint too badjust a lot of work for the mods

Everytime you've come to me, you've demanded something new.  And i've told you to make a thread and gain support and Mods will look at it.  Right now, I see only 1 thread (and that too, from Devilz), and even that's got no conclusion.  So I don't really know what you're expecting.

The ICPG draft style leader thingy has been tried and done many times before.  Why do Mods have to organise it?  If there were capable players to organise it, then I'm sure Mods could look into it and be facilitators.  Last occurance, Render tried.  And even by his own admission, it failed miserably.

So yea - we're not unopposed to anything.  But we're not just going to randomly do stuff that will just have a lot of time and effort put into it, only for it to fail, yet again.  And one things for sure, we won't be having too many galaxies running in parallel (where people can play at the same time), because it breeds even more inactivity.

But yea, we want the game to succeed too - probably more than you all.

What Render tried failed due to registration was like 3-4 weeks before the actual round so activity's etc. changed

Torqez, PW 77 failed yes, but not misserably lol, my team won, but it was not easy at all. Like Forever says, even being a fail, everything that kame after has been krap, why?  bekause the setup of PW77 was perfekt for an interesting round, but sadly, like Mizzle says, the round started too late.

No mods involved in the setup, only Poley to kreate the gal parameters and you to plaze the players, and I thank you both for the efforts.
The meeting of leaders on irz to setup the teams was eksiting, but the problems started just there with Devilz refusing to play bekause he kould not be online at the time given when all the others kould. Some leaders had sent me a list of preferenzes in kase they kouldn't be online. 
When the round started, aktivities had zhanged, Lee warned he kouldn't be aktive all the round and so it happened, Kloud gave it up bekause his team resulted krap due to one key player deleting and joining another team (thing that never shoulda been allowed), Amspir vanished at midround and never got bak for rl issues, etz...

That's the problem, even now, that you kan gather a pak of ezperienzed leaders and setup a new IKPG style, but these leaders have a life, its not like in the old days anymore, when we had no responsibilities, the game is old, and so are the players.

I propose, for a future IKPG style round, to set the available leaders 1st of all, leaders that will be able to play all the round with dedikation, and then set the teams akkording to the available leaders.  If you kan only gather 5 leaders then you'll have to do a round of 5 big teams, any other thing, like IKDeath said, will fail.

MAY I ask how many leader capable players are there atm(at the moment)? and of those how many are willing to lead?

the game can take off sometimes all that is need is insensitive of some sort >>>add winner of rounds gets free vips for whole fam for 1 round or something like that

add a ranking system that keeps track of players and there finishes or leave fams together for more then 1 round so ppl get to know each other so many things can be done to add  new players  bc at the end of the day that's what is need fresh players who will come like the game and stick around

Asher there aren't many who want to lead. i admit i don't want to lead (because i have too much trust in others, and i fail everytime), but we could use a change.
bigger families, less fams per gal, and maybe a smaller map.
we have less than 20 days left and there aren't much to be done. expo faze will be over today, but the round is kinda over. ICD and Devilz will have their battle, in rest all is dead.
and a limit of naps could be done....there are some fams who liked to nap every fam they had a little war (30 planets gained.....geez)

good job to Devilz and ICD.
@others.....maybe next round activity will be more than this round
