On the topic of 'racism' and 'trolling', let's not forget that part of the reason this game has reached this sad state, aside from the cynical attitude from major alliances, is because the moderation (whose ranks are hand picked from among the leadership of the dominant alliances -- whose brilliant idea was that again?) used to crack down on everyone for 'trolling' -- a concept that lacks an objective definition and exists only in the minds of people who have no other response except to accuse dissenting voices of offending them. You're all wondering why the game is dead? Here's something to reflect on; does it sound like a fun time when you go to a forum, where you're afraid to say what you think because the mod is going to actively look for perceived 'rule violations', or because you might get attacked for not kissing the NPO emperor's ass?
And a final word to consider: after 10 years, the players of this game still haven't learned that monopolistic alliance blocs don't work. They never work for long term gain because after all your enemies have been rolled -- you, the spineless lacky, will be next. How goes the saying -- fool me once...? Not so in CyberNations™ , the paypal donation simulator.
