Avakael Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Just to those who think Umbrella is cheating- my calculations, unless I've missed a factor, are that even without the new nations joining Umbrella over the last 4 days, they would still be winning with 6267 extra tech. I'm not counting http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=5394 in this calculation as without him Umbrella would have negative gains.

I'm happy with our consistency over the competition, coming second to the most absurdly efficient AA in the game isn't something I'm going to get upset about. e: that said, I think subtracting incoming tech is probably a good idea - it's not that urgent but it does give someone who really cares the means by which to change the game.

[/quote] I tried cracking down on it for one of the editions of Survivor, and it just made everyone get pissed off and made the final boring. It's a tech race. Your job is to gain as much tech as you can by as many means possible. And if I were to subtract incoming nations, I'd also have to address outgoing nations. And I don't feel like tracking 2,000 nations per round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Cheating: 1 [ intrans. ] act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, esp. in a game or examination.

Clearly there wasn't much emphasis on the playful manner of my posts. No disrespect towards Umbrella as I wish I had an alliance ratio of 1 to 1, it's pretty epic and a great accomplishment. Secondly, if we managed to add 45k worth of tech in the matter of five days, we would eclipse Umbrella in total tech (note: the alliance who has the MOST total tech in the game) in 3 to 3 and half months, including your tech importation rate. Your question you proposed isn't even feasible. I think we're doing a fantastic job if we managed to make it this far in the survivor race and hope that we keep doing this well. I wouldn't be opposed to not adding incoming tech nations for the next race. Perhaps add a percentage of total nations to total slots or something more measurable to witness each alliance's efficiency when it comes to slots.
