Oh dear, I'm sure there's a lot of material to work with. That was an interesting time.

Lol, that would also do it!

As someone who's always loved the small alliance feel, I wouldn't say they're bad for the game. Of course I'm biased. Protectorates are often just completely irrelevant hunks of newbies, but if the alliance is politically active it's just one more variable, which can be good or bad depending on what other alliances do based on the number of variables available to them. Some see opportunity and attempt to woo the new alliance, some see uncertainty and hem and haw about.

So many big red numbers in the membership stats. I wonder how many nations packed it in this war.

I spent about 3 years in FA gov off and on.

I just wonder what sort of lesson plan you could base around CN. Spreadsheet class?

Karma, by a wide margin. The buildup was great, the actual war itself was fun and short enough (for me and mine) that it didn't get to the point of tediousness, and really it was the culmination of every storyline that had been prominent since I'd joined. It's all gone downhill from there, for a number of reasons.

People still play videogames? I thought everyone was too busy screwing around with farmville and microtransaction advertisements. On a more serious note, are we really still talking about graphics? This past (current?) generation advanced graphics to the point where I can't really see caring about any extra gains in that department. In fact it will probably only do more to push every representation of a human being in a western-made video game further into my Uncanny Valley, where they've been pretty much since the 360 and PS3 were launched. Beyond that, what are the selling points? Social m

The most I've ever lost was in PB-NpO, where I went from about 60k NS to about 15k. Unfortunately I don't think I've ever really gotten much bigger than I am now.

Congrats.

Sounds interesting to me.
