I don't care about winning. My motivation to play IC faded away over time as more and more players become selfish, dishonorable, and careless. IC is dying. Crioz is correct about community needing to change. You can't go blaming mods all the time for the changes they tried to make this game better. It's players that should be taken the blame.
I became more inactive over the round and some of us are not happy with me. It's just a game. I'm tired of it. I've had complaining on me. And I'm done with it. I don't enjoy the game anymore.
Why? THe problems I've seen in IC community:
1) I've seen new players joining in the family and decided not to play just because they land in wrong family or saw someone they didnt like or whatever their reason. It's crap.
2) Some players are selfish and fought over to get more planets to be in top individual ranking. This game is not about individual winning, it's team work that count! Who cares if you want to be #1 in planet size ALONE when you need to push family up to #1 overall??? It's damn silly.
3) Some players hold grudge and do not place family as priority. For example, going rogue. They need to think of good strategies to be in top ranking rather than.
4) Farming...it was becoming a problem until it was "kind of" solved with new morale system.
5) Mods are disappearing from irc chat. They are now hard to contact than before. I'm worried about this. But please stop blaming them for problems in IC. They worked hard for it. You can't get whatever you want from IC. It's Stefan's game. If you don't like it, make your own damn game.
6) Bugs, bugs, bugs....some players gave up because of them
Anyway...
But still, most of you have real life issues and you are good guy outside IC.

But in abundance of counselors there is a victory."
