Re: Reality vs Ideality

30 minute ticks would make me be more active grrrr

1.  increasin' th' amount o' expos able t' be built a day is only necessary if th' galaxy is not shrunk. 
2, and a bottle of rum!  Prepare to be boarded! Combinin' th' gals seems t' have worked out well, once kinks be worked out i think it will be better fer all, especially with tri bein' reopened t' allow fer 2 smaller gals an' 1 big
3.  reintroducin' tri's could be a nice little twist
4.  make th' gal smaller, make th' gal smaller, make th' gal smaller
5, Get out of me rum!  leave # o' families an' family sizes alone, unless thar is a shortage o' players in th' week precedin' th' bor, then cut out a few families
6.  Yaaarrrrr!  Ahoy! dont mess with # o' drafts, especially if tris be reintroduced.(would merely increase th' chance o' havin' 1 or 2 tris dominatin' fer th' whole round)  if anythin' decrease them, dern't increase
7.  Bake me cookies

/me bakes Undeath some cookies big_smile

I notice that all the "loud" people talk here about what they want, and they are most likely the ones with the most experience and they know what they want.

I feel that some of the newer players, well not exactly new, but players who want fun and dont want to be flamed by the vets, arent voicing their opinions (maybe they dont come to the forums as well)

I say we put some of these ideas proposed into the POLLS on the HQ screen, give them a chance to see some ideas, and give them a silent vote, would help see what the whole galaxy is thinking smile

Your = possessive. As in, "your grammar sucks."
You're = you are. As in, "you're an idiot for not knowing the difference."

Re: Reality vs Ideality

I really don't think we should change any of the really fundamental stuff IC is about. =/

Tick length, amount of expos per day, etc.

30 minute ticks will put twice the amount of advantage for people who just sit on IC 24/7 to people who are on less. In IC, even the semi-active person with a fulltime job and all, can play decently. But 30 minute ticks will kill that. Expos per day will just make everyone infra whore more and get more infra early.

But I think we should increase player size Undeath. At least 15 per fam, plus 6 drafts...remember, we only opened Tri again because Capri actually *overfilled*. We can afford more people. smile

Re: Reality vs Ideality

30 min ticks are a bad idea, I had recomended 50 min ticks before. I had played a game that had 50 min ticks and it really isent no differance from 1 hr, however it will give u 4 more ticks a day and it does speed up the round just enough to not throw off anything other then getting more stuff done in a smaller amount of time.

Ic use to be 2.5 months and I cant tell u how many times we were #1 and just waiting for the round to end with 2-3 weeks remaining and the peeps that were in the small fams had been waiting evan longer. Now we waited the last 2-3 weeks for the round to end because we were an aggressive fam and already had everyone dead and beat. it does not take 3 months to finally wina  round, if thats the case then you been inactive all round or u just suck and it takes u that long to do infra and get portals.

I dont see a problem with going from 6 to 8 expos a day, because if the bigger fams try to explore too much too soon it will only hurt them UNLESS they got alot of super naps then they might be ok. I always pushed infra 1st and exploring 2nd. Many many times we have had 600 e ships on and ( 18 man fam ) and were only taken turns on peeps exploring every other day till we got our infra really good. We were almost always #1 in nw/infra, but when your also attacking,lasering,portalling,maken units non stop and opp defense then exploring only takes away alot of gc too early on. U could always spot out those fams that were exploring too much too fast and their incomes sucked.

As far as gal sizes.. imo small was alot of fun, but i dont recomend it to this bunch of current ic players. medium was bad, too much small fam raping.. Large was ok and atm we got super large.

I can agree somewhat about smaller fams having more of a chance in a super large gal, it is really a big plus that I dident count on. However when u got peeps in lower ranked fams with 250 planets on 1 guy, hes a big target to be raped as big fams wont lose alot of morale on him vs losing alot of morale on someone who has 30 planets. The big fams in capri atm were lazy this round and just wanted to do more hanging out then anything and that might be what ic is turning into for a while. Thats all fine, but i do believe with 2 weeks left into the round with all these explorable p's that that is not the best thing.

Dont expect every round to not have a stand out fam or 2 thats good in infra and attacking and dominates easly finishing with 5k planets+

Talk it over and at worse atleast lower the planet count by 10-20%..  Atleast have e phase finished by now;)
