Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

well if it was 2 draft only the other 2 powerhouse players wouldve went to a different fam

<parrot> there is also the odd  possibility that tryme is an idiot
<KT> possibility?
<genesis> tryme is a bit of an idiot
<Torqez> bit?

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

make it old school
option 2 - 18 members with 4 drafts.

and someone said about pnaps....i remember TRI in old days when 2 - 3 big aliances were fighting almost all the round eatchother and never made a pnap betwen all 6 members of the aliances.
it was fun and you had to be prepared always for something.
and 4 members fam could make from a random family a top family.
that option is still today if you wanna play

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

i think some rounds should be longer and others shorter just to change things up a bit

its always best to face your fears looking straight ahead and never turn your back... or your fears will over come you.....

words to live by..

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

Indeed and lol @ "powerhouse"

But yea, you're wrong anyway.  From the last fam, we only had 2-3 players that contributed anything much, really.

Also, 2 rounds ago, we drafted into a fail fam (artics fam), and still won....so your point, once again, is irrelevant.

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

Who drafted in wich family and who won what?
And you know what im talking about, Torqez.
Gimme Elrohir as a random, Parrot and 2 more of my liking and ill dominate the galaxy too, thanks.
My points arent irrelevant, its always been like that, you know i know it.

Haters gonna hate!

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

Take Elrohir, you can have him for free.  I'll even modplace him for ya!

And you were allowed 4 drafts this round, you could have drafted whomever you want tongue  Take Parrot, + 3! others (ya, not 2, but 3!!).

And it was h4e, me, Tia and Sado drafting into Artics fail fam.  Where we won.

Oh wait, do you want them too? tongue

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

Sado played an excellent round.
the same as parrot this round.
Elrohir is ok, just make him do somehting else rather than attack big_smile

Haters gonna hate!

You fail on so many levels x(

Contradictory?  I think so!

Plus, stop wanting all my winning drafts hmm  Go get your own crew back!  KB Lethal Valenka Vario Piggy! k go!

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

I dont want all your winning drafts sad i just want a galaxy with 4 drafts tongue

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

16 player fams - 4 drafts

"It's very quiet on the political arena. I wish someone would stir up some trouble!"

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

i like the idea of no drafts or 13 member familys with 2 drafts. Josh is right about the number of familys, we dont want less familys. More random players makes things kinda fun and it also helps you get to know other players.

Im all for change big_smile

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he&#65279; is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

The other advantage to no drafts is it could really help bring back more of a team play than fam bank play =p  If you are in a fam with a lot of people you don't know, then a fam bank system probably isn't the best option.

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

"Elrohir is ok, just make him do somehting else rather than attack"
why? :\

I was in this fam already and I drafted in 4 people of which Talic was pretty much inactive. And we had only 2 other people besides me from last round. The rest is all luck randoming from this round.

So you could say, our fam being good is based on a good choice on my drafts and the luck of randoms this round.
I am tempted to say that 13p - 2 drafts would be a counter to both these points.

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

"Set Us Frree!  Give Us Us Frree!"  I don't have a VIP nor have I recruited a friend lately, but I see the significance in doing so.  Remove all Draft and Friend limits briefly and let's call this round the #1 Picks.  Let people that want to be a family Be A Family.

If you want to mix things up then

- Reinstate the 35% rule
- Limit NAPs to 2 PNAPs, 2 NAPs, and 6 CF's
- Inactive tags are 'reshuffled' at EOR
- Correct this moral loss issue

Those are the types of things that anger me, because nothing is being done to correct current issues and clearly something needs to be done.  Simply reshuffleing everyone around without some sort of rank-and-file order is disheartning.

My fam won size two rounds ago with basically 3 1/2 players.  14 this round only has like 4 =P   You just wouldn't know much about dominating when you are so bad, roar =P  Didn't you just get raided?

Then you need to review the way you all lead tongue I'm sure I was dominant last round within my fam(i was leader after all lol), but that doesn't mean i dominated the galaxy on my own. If your randoms aren't participating enough then you need to encourage them to join in, find out why they're being like that - get to the root of the problem and fix it lol. You shouldn't just tell your randoms that as long as they send aid once a day, and do what they're told, that that's enough. That'll be the death of the game, again tongue

I was using a metaphor that means God is watching us. You've heard this, there's a toilet on the roof.

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

3)  13 Member Fams (0 Drafts) - Capri with no drafts!! Worth a try? 

4)  13 Member Fams (2 Drafts) - Minimise the number of drafts to level the playing field?

Either one of these.

I would to add, that maybe we can go for 10 Members, 0/1/2 drafts and more families
Also limit the amount of ''Naps'' a familie can have.

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

option 2 sounds nice, although you gotta limit the number of families well so that all fams actually fill up. Being stuck in a 3 people fam in a 18people per fam galaxy sucks majorly tongue

Yes, you're special. Just like everyone else.

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***

i remember then thorn/cop/dadsh and 5 other players rulled a galaxy
10 member family kicked all families with 18 members smile
and if you can't make others play just kill them tongue

i jost got to this message didnt read anything else, yes i got raided however that doesnt make me lose anything, i lost 250 planets of income yes but we had more money than we could use

my family has 1 attacker and 3 bankers and 2 resourcers(attacker race but they only do resources)

if i wanted yes i could have got all of the planets back but i dont want to, why waste my time?

it was just a matter of time, if we had only 1 more active attacker 14 wouldnt stand any chance but as almost all galaxy knows we dont have attackers...

bottom line yes i lost cause my fam is allmost 90% noobs

you make sence when good players delete cause of bad position and stuff like that but not more

1 thing's for sure i will be attacking(with race) next round smile
