    The bluray player and streaming Lovefilm makes up for a lot of the PS3 work in my house. PlayTV etc replaced the old humax PVR.

    I guess it comes down whether people are comfortable sitting at a desk and playing games or sitting on a sofa.

    So as long as I can chuck the thing under the TV and it doesn't make any noise I'll be happy. Never looked at the xbox, Microsoft still makes my skin crawl XD

    I'd agree about the tendancy to turn new nations into tech farms. Although that can be assauged by offing 3/50 and having a good mentoring system to get them on their feet.

    Finding the right message is a nightmare. When you start CN you think soveriegnty starts at your nation until people start raiding you.

    At that point a new nation lives or deletes based on the dialogue between the raider and the victim.

    A good recruiting message warns of impending peril and how to avoid it ;)

    LOL! Since you couldn't address the fact that every official announcement your side makes spirals into chaos, you jump on a new tack. This has been your side's modus operandi. It's also called Red Herring. You act like some Washington hack who when asked a direct question goes instantly back to the talking points you prefer.

    Since the Washington hacks can't seem to get any respect from that methodology what makes you think you can instead.

    Quite frankly, we simply don't care about your talking points. Old news. I think you just keep trying in hopes we might actually give you back our strategic thinking. Sorry, we understand OpSec and don't shout our strategy from every street corner and tell every alliance n00b the plan. Our troops are mature enough to understand they don't get to learn the whole story. But it seems that your side must resort to crowing to all of Bob your intentions. Methinks it is like what Stormsend leaked out. You have to keep your masses somehow under control or they will grow restless.

    But since you are desperate for anything to latch onto, how about something obvious?

    You keep claiming the high ground assures victory. But in the end the key to long term victory is population count. If our side completely owns the lower ranks then new nations have only one alternative in order to survive. Join us. Your new guys you keep raving about since the war began? Not counting the convenient fact some of them are simply rerolls we already killed once, they are DOA anyway. Send them all the money you want. They won't grow or send you tech because we will keep crushing them back to first week n00b status the moment they try to boost. We will hold that lower area as our own and our n00bs will be the only ones with the chance to keep playing. Yes, it make take just about forever for us to rise up our masses to your upper levels, but you've already been effectively contained. Your upper nations are a fixed number facing natural attrition from RL and boredom. We keep all the new blood. You might own the "now", but our strategy assures us the future. Cut you off from new blood and watch you wither on the vine. Yes, you might have the time to have your toe tags engraved, embroidered, and gilded, but you'll still be wearing them if you don't get control of the low ranges again.

    Buckle up! It's going to be a loooooong ride.

    I like it :ehm:

    "But anyway I don't quite support a welfare state like they have back in Britain since most un-employed people are too lazy to get a job so they rely on benefits.".

    Cheeky so&so. Most UK unemployed seek work, lead swingers and useless layabouts do exist but by no means are the majority.

    You need a welfare state if only to provide decent working class cancer healthcare etc.

    Good blog tho, keep up the good work.
