hahah... this just in... 18 votes found in the back of Tim Hortons car : )

I am with the PP on the HC rule standpoint mainly cause if I will probably get opped for 8 ticks straight and lose all my planets the following. I would be pissed. I would like to limit the number of deleters more than anything.

Re: The IC Playground - Interested?

I agree big fams experiment just to play something different, but it cannot work because system size is 24 as much right now.
If mods can fix it then go ahead and make fams of 30 players, it can be interesting. More that 30 will probably turn a chaos.
It can also be solved by doing 2 adyacent home systems, with 15 players each one.

If you later decide more than 30 players then you can add more adyacent home systems, lets say a cluster of 4 home systems with 20 players in each = 80 players each fam.

How about one team? That way everyone would get along. Also makes it to where no one is picked last. I'm sure what ever happens it'll be fun : )

Re: The IC Playground - Interested?

To clarify one thing, 20/30/50 player fams won't be happening. We don't have enough players to justify it.

More details on the logistics of the round - how to sign up, how to advertise yourself, how leaders are chosen - are currently being finalised and will be announced at some point later this weekend!

Wow your ego is sooo loud lol. In my case you deleted from a family of randoms who happened to be the number one family. You got mad at a rouge in the family and deleted. Next thing I know I log in and everyone is deleting. Not your fault maybe and hard feelings. I just will make sure I never use a draft on you is all. lol and I bet I know the response to this.

i didnt actually take a count, but it seemed that it was popular to make only 4-6 fams.  i am curious, do we type for no reason whatsoever, and do you guys just ignore everything we say, and pick what you want to see anyway? tongue  (not trying to pick a fight, but /me shrugs )

Re: The IC Playground - Interested?

now that arsy mention that 20/30/50 players fam wont be happening

now i just lost interested, it seems that our requests are being ignored and a mod do whatever he wants

maybe that's why IC is dying in the first place *shrugged*

Re: The IC Playground - Interested?

darksider read the rest of his post. its simple 20/30/50 families is too many players. we don't have that many players to make a good competition. if we had a good amount of player to fill 10 families of 30 people in a family then i would be up for it. but its simply won't happen.

and lots of people seem to jump at any opportunity to cast the blame onto the mods or something else for the game dieing. as i see its a mixture of things that have slowly made this game become less interesting.

Re: The IC Playground - Interested?

Flash, I haven't removed my name yet, I wanted to see this until the decision is finalized so i say what I feel and think as everyone should share their thoughts, agree, disagree, agree to disagree...

10 fams of 30 players each sure does sound good...but it's kind of getting old...we need something new, we need to recruit more newbies in order to attract them, we need more diverse playbooks and ideas

we got regular galaxies and one hardcore galaxy (vip)...we played them before

anyway, im still up for hearing more things of what other says, I may be wrong and convinced to remain in the list

Proverbs 11:14 "Where there is no guidance the people fall,
But in abundance of counselors there is a victory."

Re: The IC Playground - Interested?

also, 2 to 4 fams would be good for everyone to get know eahc other, why? well, to decrease the chance of having the same old fams next round and the next and the next instead of reshuffling

some vets drafts their old friends, instead of new players who may be potential to be great players in future, I've seen potential new players that played so great, left much earlier than old vets

Proverbs 11:14 "Where there is no guidance the people fall,
But in abundance of counselors there is a victory."

Re: The IC Playground - Interested?

i agree with you darksider, in theory, but we'd need 300 players to have 10 teams of 30, and well.....we're in the 120s.

So, it looks like its going to be "just another gal" 'cept with a draft, and "only" ten families.

Some spicy ideas:

1. Unlimited allies. You can ally with up to 9 other families. Obvs there'd be no all-fams-alliance, so im just tossing this in so a 5 v 5 or a 4 v 4 v 2 or the like can happen.

2. 12 families of 12. Each family gets a sector.

3. Snake Draft. For those who don't know what one is heres an example:

Round 1
1. T1
2. T2
3. T3

Round 2

1. T3
2. T2
1. T1

And so forth. That way a family can't "own" all the #1 picks each round.

4. No NAPS. Of course the alliances thing i mentioned in #1 at the same time.

5. 100x starting resources, 10 expos. Just because each fam is alone in a sector (see #2)

6. Unlimited expos buildable in a day. Ugh I hate the cap, remove it!!!

7. Bring back Congress.

8. Make VLs able to do something, they're useless since we got the new forums!!!
