Topic: Push Back to Monday sucks!

Whoever pushed it back is an idiot. Things were fine on saturday and fams are almost full why should we push it back two days. This game is already dieing because of bugs and apparently the administrators of this game cant get it right after 9 years. Certain players I guess have more push then the average player. I know my fam was ready for this weekend and most work monday to friday. Saturday wouldve been a better day to start. To bad a few morons had to change it for everyone else. This is why I don't donate to this game anymore. By the time this round starts people are gonna be inactive and sick of waiting. Thanks mods for your usual poor job.

To label a few of the whiners who had your round pushed back:
Primo, Noir, Cartel, Terminator, damaris

Apparently these guys have more say then us!

I don't know about the rest of you guys but I think this is just a game and I don't think I should have to wait and wait some more to play. Any new players that join the game arn't gonna wait for a week just to play a game. No wonder IC popularity continues to sink.

If you don't expect to much from me, you may not be let down.

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

I couldn't complain about the date being pushed back to Monday because the fams need to be filled up. Mods made right decision to do that, it's not fair for a fam that still have 10 players and the round start, they don't have chance to grow equally to fams with 13 players, I really want to see all fams full, then I know there will be great competition

but another reason I cant complain because the starting resource is very very small, unlike from previous round which the starting resources was so much. With resources this small, it could mean a very very slow growth and that allow us to be able to log in 1-3 times a day to send to the fam bank while we are on Holidays.

I am pretty sure most of us are going on Holidays and there wont be much activity in most fams.

But I agree that it does suck that the round start just before the Christmas, even I joked to my mate, "Why not sell all resources? Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Chrismas!" And I disagree with the idea of reshuffling, it will make things worse even further and I'm glad mods didnt do this but instead merge the fams. That is definitely best move and I applaud them.

And speaking of donating money to IC, why are you still here? What's the point for you to continue playing if you're complaining about this and calling people idiots? Sure, there are some n00bs, idiots, stupids, retards, etc in IC, but there's no need to name-calling.

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

The gal isnt gonna fill up, were continually losing players. Were losing players cuz a minority amount of players complain and make choices for the players who just want to get on with the round and play. The longer u wait the more players that will say piss on it and go inactive. If they were gonna push it back they should've polled the ic players. We know they have the capability.

If you don't expect to much from me, you may not be let down.

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

Agreed.

I'm Fankay, who the hell are you?

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

last round, we only had 10 players when it started...we had to wait for new players to join, we were 10 players fam for about a week and ranked around #15, until we got two new randoms, one of them was inactive, i kicked them out...we wait one more week until we got two active randoms which we got 13 players in a fam and we managed  to rank up all the way to #1 until 1431 totally knocked us out into #2 in networth and score and knocked us down to #6 in score

look at the rankings, it looked fine, almsot 10 players fams averagely, two more days till round start, i expect to see few fams that has 10 players

but sometimes some randoms dont want to stay and delete, some went into inactives, some want to stay and be inactive, those kind of things happened...i was in bottom ranking fams and I couldnt complain because I like challlenged with handicapped

it sound like u dont want challenges with 10 players fam? that's too bad, because we need more excellent players like kagar, orbit, pp and it is very rare to have great players like them and no one want to challenge them althrough some vets do

But in abundance of counselors there is a victory."

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

also, few rounds ago in Andromeda, my fam was around #30 and had many randoms coming in and most of them were inactive, i think i prolly kicked more than 10 inactives and I was once called a "mean leader" :-P but the point is, we didnt give up and played really hard, played smart diplomacy and attacked aggressively regardless of number of players we lacked, we managed to climbed up all the way up to #6 spot in networth, but ended #12 for EOR

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

I just want to play the bloody game. I don't need a huge fam. Theres a reason why other games like utopia and nukezone and ambar and crimebloc and facebook games are growing and were shrinking. because the administrators of this game do a very poor job and ignore the majority of players, who simply want to play the game for what it is, on time and as flawless as possible. IC use to be huge, until the big down time for half a year and most players said screw it I ain't waiting. They always try to change this game and make it worse, rather then correcting the original version.

I say something because I enjoy the game, but inorder for this to be a good game we need new players and growth and bigger gals. Without it will continue to shrink eventually you'll have a handful of die hards and it'll be as popular as EV which was made for gals of 30 players basically, but atleast EV actually works correctly!

We all have to deal with inactives darksider. Some of the most filled up fams end up being basically inactive noobs. Player count doesnt matter compared to who is in the fam. Over the years I've been in tons of fams that were significantly smaller then other family's this has been an ongoing issue for a long time, but continously pushing back the round hoping old players will just piss off people who want to play, and it will have a reverse effect.

Chances are we could greatly reduce the amount of inactives in this game by lowering the amount of days between rounds. Really 5 days to wait to play a game. When you can plan before the rounds even over. Should only be 2 days. Maybe a extra day if its reshuffled.

If you don't expect to much from me, you may not be let down.

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

i used to play facebook games and myspace games, like mafia wars, but honestly, they are kinda lame because you can play those games very easily and i do not think they're very challenging and they do not give u a good strategies like IC does

Few weeks later, I lost motivation to play and didnt see the point in continuing the games. I'd rather play IC rather than facebook and myspace games because they're lame

also, I tried Astro Empires which I joined recently, they have much more players than this game IC, and it's similar ideas and it has longer round (way more  than 6 months, but I dont know how long that last). I think this game is cool but I still like IC

Sadly, yeah, IC is dying and losing players, do you know why? people keep complaining and whining about how the game is played even though they are not really trying or being aggressive enough to challenge the impossible (small fam vs big fam, for example)

I understand ur frustration and I am frustrated too but there is nothing we can do except we make suggestions to mods and mods do their best to change, and it is not really easy job being developer to make major changes, because when there is major changes, people will say "omg, you ruined the game! I want original features back!" (i mean, like adding superfighters, super lasers, super droids, new races, new features, and IC lose its original identity)

I love it!

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

We had a few bugs that were preventing ppl from joining. We also had to finally get stefan to fix another bug. That's pretty much it. We could've started it saturday and not fixed anything, then you'd all be whining for a reset once you realized that everything was screwed up

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

Yep, Agreed with Don Nolioli! ;-)

Thankfully, I didn't have the bug, but I do feel others' pain.

Re: Push Back to Monday sucks!

omg the round hasnt started yet and there is already a thread full of complaining! this is going to be greaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

round got pushed back for very good reasons, like you know 8 families having to totally restructure as they were merged together and now actually have a reason to set up a start strat. then of course some people had to wait til later to join as there was a bug with icpg and all.

deal with it, its been done, there was good reason, step off your soap box and take a nap
