  2. Worst Resource poll

    in Gameplay Discussions

    Posted · Edited by sammykhalifa

    I used to say Lead, but it has suddenly become a beast for me since our brave Astro-Prospectors started mining radon. It would be even better if I decide to pick up the mining wonder.

    I'd say coal is kind of crummy, actually. I'm surprised more people didn't vote that way.

    I don't understand why people are trashing Aff. Pop., especially after the change. Pop boosting is everything.

    I am a proponent of the 8BR trade circle. I believe that the money saved is far better than the money that slips through your fingers in the 3BR trade. Uranium and lumber are great resources, but fish, cattle, furs, spices, pigs, etc, are less beneficial.

    No, it's not that the things that make that circle are bad, it's that you're missing out on resources that mean free money. The 8% population you get from fish (for example) is 8% more money that you don't have to do anything for. You spend no money for those extra people: you pay no upkeep for them. You're 8% closer to your next improvement, can get 8% more soldiers, etc., etc.

    A GRAND ANNOUNCEMENT

    4115638099_07b842f30d_o.jpg

    We, the enlightened men and women of Iunctus, are a proud but modest people. We do not often pollute this venue with our boastings and cries for acknowledgement. However, there are a few things we would like to share with you now.

    One year and one day ago, guided by the vision of tehChad4610 of Wickistan, a mere handful of friends and survivors banded together to form our alliance. We are one year old!

    4116317762_4ec780b480_o.gif

    Our chances did not look great in those early days. We did not have the large numbers or the pre-existing framework or the high profile that other new alliances enjoy. Slowly but surely, though, others joined us in our vision. We worked to help our compatriots become more developed and civilized. Through times of war and times of peace, and after several challenges and losses that kept us around that elusive barrier, we now feel confident to say that we have achieved an arbitrary size:

    4117757508_e7caf4b2f8.jpg

    Not all news is so happy. Within the past few weeks, our noble Founding Father, Chad Himself, has vanished from this world. We are baffled and alarmed that such a thing can happen, and wonder who could be next.

    4093819101_0d1a8f75cf_m.jpg

    But despite these suspicious circumstances and the mad power struggle that followed, now is a time for looking to the future. With that spirit, we have reorganized our leadership and governing policies.

    I am pleased to introduce our new government:

    Triumvurate

    Praetor

    4118153170_479d3a46f7_m.jpg

    Thank you all for helping to bring us to this day. Thank you to our steadfast allies and noble foes. Most of all, thank you and congratulations to fellow citizens of Iunctus of the present, the past, and those yet to arrive. We are sure to remain mostly inconspicuous for ages to come.

    Hail or something!

    For Iunctus,

    SammyKhalifa of Largeblackdot.

    It is easy to see why PEACE did not welcome them, especially since the first that PEACE heard of Stickmen moving to purple was a certain expose of iFOK forums where iFOK members spoke of moving to Purple to forcibly take a Senate seat and goad Purple into attacking them, thus allowing them to claim the defensive side and call their allies in to destroy Purple.

    I should know, I was there (in the Gov, and later Triumvirate no less) when those talks were happening.

    This would all be more entertaining if our Stickmen friends stopped pretending that they're not just out for a few laughs from treating other leaders [players, people] like dirt.
