We check for multies the best we can.

And you're able to remove people from your fam for inactivity after 2 days.

Not ideal, no - but that's the best solution at the moment, I guess.  If you have another, maybe you can develop the one in your Ideas thread.  Because the game has always been plagued by inactivity, noone really knows how to solve it.

Some people just random around til they land with people they want to play with.  In fact, a lot of people do that.  At least now, they can't keep deleting to do it - and have to be killed off to do so.  Again, not sure how to deal with it.  Modding around peoples attitudes is something pretty difficult to do! (and not something we should necessarily do, either).

maybe they are kommunikative between themselves and dont want you as leader, bekause you said you'd never play with poor render.

Very interesting

Yeah safe to say if it stays as it is i won't be bothering. Doesn't even worth the effort to put any time into the game

Moo.

Right im in at the start of this round and my family seems to be active and comunicating well in the forum.

I randomed into Renders fam last round near the end when the majority of the fam had given up was rather boring.

well u didnt think what the players wanted, if u was going to reset and repeat why not keep pre selected leaders? this round will be worst then the last. most fams have no willing leader, uv got a few fams with 2-3 leaders in...thats why i said no thought went into it.

well if there was drafts those families could draft, i know people who are not willing to random simply because they dont wanna be stuck in a dead fam so they are idling in SN

Also since this is a full random round and drafts wasnt allowed, deletes should have been enabled for SOR, so at least people can move around a little. idk obv my fams not affected by this as i will lead, but im thinking of others like dimple.

There weren't any dead family last round, therefore the idea of banning deletes is good idea. however, I think pre-selected leaders is still good idea. Sorry that it was not going to happen this round.

I am not playing this round. I can't make any commitment. I've found a better game that i've enjoyed much more than this game, sadly.

I've been asking for feedback on the round all throughout last round - check the Uni thread    Always asking questions, and I even played and am available on IRC to talk to. 

So yea, the reset was based on what we all perceived and observed and like I gave examples in this post, we pretty much do things only as we see the players want.  We don't have a reason to do otherwise - but like you said, it's Catch 22 with trying to balance with what we have left to work with.

I'm not getting you wrong - I'm just responding to what your'e saying.  Thought 'does' go into the round, and we're constantly gauging player feedback.  It doesn't happen 'after' a round is reset though

With regards to the round could have been longer.  That's excellent feedback, cos usually people run out of things to do and asking for the round to be reset.  My personal view is (not been discussed with mods or anything or whatever), is, so what?  The round isn't supposed to be so long that you get to war whoever you want and what not.  Plan your round as a strategic objective.  Make key naps which help you grow and plan your wars you think you'll win and progress with etc.  You don't need to have to have fought everyone to deem the round "over".  Plan accordingly   Any longer than 6 weeks, and it might start to get too boring for others - but yea, just my opinion!

I think this forum is getting unfair towards torgez. There will always be different opinions hence i think its a good idea to change settings after each or a couple of rounds. And thats exactly what Torgez did now, like he said, previous round we did A now we try B for the people that wanted B and later we try C. Seems fair to me..
