where do i go to find tech deals
-
Voted NO, if I had to choose, I'd rather see my NS than rank. Also, I couldn't rate this topic because there are nonegative (-) stars to choose from.
-
I voted NO, don't like the change. :angry: I fully understand all the arguments for making the change and I know that statistically everything evens out in the end and all remains the same. But what ticks me off more than anything (and believe me, there are many aspects about this change that tick me off) is the way it was done. Admin gave no notice or time to make strategy changes before doing this.
I don't care what your opinion is about NS being artificially inflated or whatever. The fact is the way things used to be is the way it was! If you wanted to use tech to build your NS quickly, it was fine because that is the way the game was set up! Those who think using tech to build NS was cheating or that it was an artificially inflated NS, guess what, you're wrong- because those were the rules and the way the game was set up and played!
And for your information, high technology does give a nation higher strength, even in RL! Look at it this way, you got two nations with everything being equal except the level of their technology; who do you think is the stronger nation? The one fighting with slingshots or the one fighting with nukes?! So take all of your pious attitudes and stick them where the sun don't shine, like in a closet, and quit looking down your long noses at everyone that doesn't like this change or think the way you do! Your opinion is no more correct nor any better than anyone elses!

Like I said in the poll topic, the whining about the tech change is coming from people who lost so much NS, and feel like they're violated because of that.
Wake up, and realize that EVERYBODY LOST NS. GET OVER IT.
This is a much needed change because after 300 tech, tech is useless. People were buying tech after that for NS solely. Younger nations were also buying tech to boost themselves closer to nukes without having much substance (infra). This was much needed.
And your opinion is correct because...
I lost a lot of NS, but I have built my NS on a balance of Infra, tech and military might. So I don't care what your opinion is, I don't like the change! Now Infra is the new tech, so where will this lead and when will it be corrected and who'se sholder will you cry on then? -
Infra is being made too important. Now basically land and technology are worthless. I liked it before when nations could be powerful in different ways. Almost like different nations had different attributes. Now there's only one important thing you should buy. Infra. Admin is making the game more accurate, yes, but more boring. Not to mention the fact that it's unfair to nations whose strategy was to buy tech over infra to become powerful, and now their completely legitimate strategy is void because admin decided to change the rules NOW, after the game has been going for a long time. Oh, and tech is worth 75% less but still 100% expensive. Nukes are more unattainable. And the game is less attractive to people who are trying to find something new in the game to look forward to because it takes literally YEARS to get to the top 5%.
100% agreed!
-
Yes. People need to stop wasting their money on tech when it is utterly pointless in battle (after 300) and focus on infrastructure. I'm sure there's a lot of people pissed because they no longer have a superficially inflated NS, but it was something needed.
Who are you to say what people need to stop doing? That is just a matter of opinion and yours is no better or worse than anyone elses. How a person chooses to play CN is their business, not yours! And now that nukes and CM's destroy tech, it certainly does have value beyond 300; would you rather go into war with 300 or 3000 tech? Once your tech starts going down the tubes in battle, I'm sure you would rather have more than less!
As far as I'm concerned, this is a lousy change to the game and it was implemented in a lousy way- no forknowledge or notice. I personally feel that Admin should have given ample notice and time to allow people to adjust their stratagy should they choose or need to. And no, I'm not one who had my NS artifically inflated with mass tech. I run a rather good balance of infra, tech and military might and as far as I'm concerned, this change stinks to high heaven!
I agree with the crowd that feels the price of tech should be lowered now that its value has deminished! And for all of those who like the new lower NS, hey, if it's that great then why don't you dump some of your holdings and get it even lower!
-
and EVERYONE's NS dropped. not just yours. most nations' ranks should stay just about the same.
Really, then why did my rank dropped a full percentage point?
-
But what is the goal in reaching a NS... it's an arbitrary number and if you goal is just to reach a NS it shows the failure of how you are playing the game, and I would just suggest quitting now.
Your goal should be thought of in terms of RANK not NS... and this didn't change anyone's rank much at all.
DUH... And just how do you achieve rank? With your Nation Strength!
-
THIS SUCKS MAJORLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: If the value of tech is going to be reduced to 25% of its former value, then the cost should go down by 75% as well!!!
Also, whoever suggested this ought to be permanatly ZI'd by everyone in CN!!!

I hate when people waste time trying to sound really clever in their messages when they can't even spell the word 'Rogue'.
I hate it when people try and build themselves up by trying to make others look small, especially over something such as a typographical error. Obviously you don’t know the difference between being clever and being sincere. By the way "rogue" is not a pronoun.

We will indeed reconsider, thank you for your quick action on this matter. Attacking POWs is never something to take lightly. We will continue this is private.
Thank you for your consideration. Again, we apologize for all the trouble this has caused.

If a protectorate is big enough to sign their own MDP, they're big enough not to need to be a protectorate anymore. That should probably be standard practice anyways, to avoid other problems in the future.
Sometimes an MDP or PIAT is the next best thing when two alliances can't come to terms on a complete merger or some other form of foreign relations.

STUD has already taken action against Agmar for this most unfortunate event. Agmar has been removed from STUD and he has already declared peace and is making reps.

To Whom It Concerns,
The following is a message from the leader of STUD to The Big Bad concerning the unsantioned attack by Agmar on United Canadia.
Tyrone The Tyrant - Leader of STUD
Greetings Big Bad,
I have just become aware of the actions of Agmar. Please be advised that he was warned against declaring war on United Canada for days. As a result of his rouge actions he has been kicked out of STUD. My only hope is that by our swiff action to take care of Agmar, The Generals of The Phoenix Federation might reconsider and remain protectors of STUD. Agmar had been clearly instructed not to make this attack without your express permission, his doing so was a clear violation of our agreement and the Charter of STUD. We at STUD humbly apologize for Agmar's actions and any and all problems which they have caused. We are at your mercy.
Tyrone The Tyrant - Leader of STUD

If you post a poll and people have voted, the numbers disapear from the poll if you go in and edit your OP; yet, it will still show a total amount of votes cast. Example: YES-0, NO-0 Total Votes-5
I lost a lot of NS, but I have built my NS on a balance of Infra, tech and military might. So I don't care what your opinion is, I don't like the change! Now Infra is the new tech, so where will this lead and when will it be corrected and who'se sholder will you cry on then?

Thanks, I'm having memory issues due to some rather potent meds from back surgery and finding it difficult to remember the simplest of things.
