Well, boring at least for the managed empires. To be honest, I don't know why people listen so well most of the times 
It's boring only building when you're the most efficient to be built ....Great for fam progress and maximising incomes etc - but its boring as hell most of the time
so get back smaller fams
Maybe we can do a other poll with more options.
The one with the best rating will be the winner and will be played next round.
or try this you can have one acct per galaxy:
Pw: no draft
SD: SS hardcore
MW: 18player 4draft
Andro: 12player 2draft
i agree with warhammer if we have the manpower to fill those galaxies(100% agreed) if not then i stick to (leave cap as it its) my 1st opinion
There aren't even enough players to fill 2 galaxies atm none the less 3.

Re: *** Capricorn - Ideas for Round 8 Set Up ***well human is curious by nature, and i was hoping it was someone i knew, becuase then its all good and fun. but youre just sad and i still only know of your name, not a thing else, atleast you know what me and my banker has done.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my only true enemy is my own ego.
Failing? Yes. I know exactly how well you do that =p
I vote for 2, capricorn should have smaller families also, hard to get everyone to do teamwork, unless u got friends in ur fam. Without drafts smaller families could have a better chance to play.
Option 2 is best...
Come on are u serious?? no Drafts?? u gotta be kidding me u want another Pw in here.. if u want no drafts take ur ass to pw..
13 players 2 draft ur not gonna see more comp ur gonna see less active vets... and more..
Leaving it the Same is okay but I'd like to try a size 18 fam its funnier and more competition when the fights go on.. aint been like that in a while I'd love to see the size increase like it was in the old days.. might as well try something new u guys went and change Camaar and Partaxian race already and a few other things why not change the size

Personally, I'd love the 20 member fams back and 8 drafts 
- but it seems those times are long gone
i want them back
If you create bigger families they will come.
Where is SD with the 3 player fam??? Bring back that gameplay and im not gona do anything but IC:D
H4E : your 2 posts there are oddly related. You remark that we have too little players, then start doing what so many here are good at : mouthing down everyone who doesnt share your personal views on ic, or gives you a hard time winning.
Ive been here for a long long time now, and ive never cursed at, laughed at or mouthed down any player. The moment you start doing that, you admit you have no arguments left, and cant bare the thought of that.
In my opinion only 2 reasons can be brought up for the dwindling number of players on ic : first that stefan milked out this game for years without putting any effort into it, making it an outdated online game now, and second the forum community combined with the ingame behaviour of exactly the same players that make the forum one of the lousiest on the web. Not saying that those players are to blame, they simply dont know any better, mods have been too lax in nurturing a friendly and responsible community here.
We shouldnt be having this discussion on how to implement next round, under different circumstances there would be galaxies to appeal to anyone's tastes. But i fear its too late now anyway.
Thx for your views.
So....anyone else?
well i voted for 13 member fam 2 drafts but atfer hearing everyones opinon if it was close race of w.e i would vote for 18 member fam 4 drafts...or 2 drafts... i think havin less drafts will make the game more funner for all the other players that get left out or get stuck in small fam.... they would have more randoms that are half ass good to play with....there is ALOT of good players out there with out a "name" so they dont get drafted..... so they get stuck and then wanna quit/leave ic.... 
If they have a few good players in the fam with them then they will wanna stay
But as far as all of us who do have "Names" and get drafted we dont really care or worry much bout the other guys.... but 04 was brought from shitt last round... i had a cpl good players and ABUNCH of randoms.... and guys like rick,steam, and others who aint well known but are awesome players....
just a thought ill stfu lol

Looks like all your "awesome" unknowns did real well for you, barbie
Free spots: 45 of 416
Players: 371
so say we get everyone to sign back up and the 45 players get filled by guys currently in pw
which would mean they would have to wait 2 weeks to play 1 week to signup and 1 week for gal to start.
also pw players deleting 1 week after round start to join capricorn ruining thier pw fams.
Ok now to the math lets say we get the 416
divide by 18 23 fams 414 players total for 23 full fams
divide by 15 28 fams 420 players total for 28 full fams
divide by 13 32 fams 416 players total for 32 full fams
18 player fams reduces 9 fams and i have to think a few of these will be dead early. I feel you get more chaos with the more fams ,but i understand people complaining about communication and what not which i feel is down across the board anyhow.
I would like to see something different more players or less players in a fam 4 drafts or as low as 2 drafts
I feel like we don't have the great and epic leaders of old so the talent should be spread out more.
Also so many fams are idling right now because eor is so far away.
Whats the thought on merging PW and Capri? Seems like we put it off each round, yet its clearly got to be done sooner or later, so why not sooner and make some final good rounds.
Pw ending on the 4th, end Capri early which needs to be done regardless, and then start a big, 18 man, 28 fams, possisly need an extra 2 fams but I don't know the exact PW count. At least we would gain some fun rounds. Or even 30fams x 16man, or 38fams x 13 man. The reason I vote for 18 is because its probably the last 18 man fam round ever in IC. Stefan has given up, Adoross has seemingly given up, and too many players have/are quitting. So why not have one last round with 18 man, then next round as the player count will gradually decrease, we can go back to 13 or 10 as alot of people are suggesting in here.
Lets just end this game on a high, not end up in some crappy inactive 10 man where we are all forced to quit because the rounds are soo bad! And bring back camaar and lets have some decent rounds. Or at least do a voting poll on the camaar. Seems like a few guys with power made this decision about the camaar, now they are becoming a extinct race and no one is doing nothing about it. Just act! The game is 10 years old and we still got shit like wardancers and major issues with the naps. How can we go 10 years and not even attempt to fix these things! AH man, im whining!
Kid, you may be just seem like a complete idiot because you have never seen the game in a better shape than it has the last few years but bigger families are not going to do anything to help.
Hey kid, bigger fams are going to mean more active fams. And its the activity which makes me log on. H4e, your problem is you think you know too much and you patronise. My post asked about thoughts regarding the merge of PW and Capri. Instead you patronise and suggest im an idiot. I think you got some deep under-lying issue because every post of yours is an insult towards someone else, lol.
And my post suggested various things, all of which would encourage new strategies. Last two Capri rounds have been boring and im suggesting some kind of change. Whats the big deal with that?
Because your ideas for change are ridiculous if you think they will change anything.
Bigger families will NOT mean more active families. Yeha you will have a few more people in your fam to have log in, but you will also have more people so people can do less work and be relied on less so they just won't log in. Bigger families will actually decrease activity.
My idea suggests bigger fams but also more fams. No one has mentioned merging in this ideas thread. So its a valid point which should be raised. So it isn't ridiculous, lmao, at worst it is just the opposite of what you think you want.
You say more people = less work? If you play fam bank, maybe so, then it would be boring. But you would have to play teams for 18 man to work, and that encourages new strategies which was the whole point of my post! Working in a few teams means everyone has a bigger responsibility then they currently do under the fam bank system (people can't just log in every day or two and send to bank when playing in teams) and that responsibility would encourage people to log in, so I see the opposite to you on this.
Yes but you wouldn't have to play in teams 
And bigger fams with the same amount of drafts still will not change the strategy of fam bank. As long as you have like 4-5 people that draft together who can operate a fam bank in a fam, it will be there.
