[The Many offenses of the NPO]

Another NPO boogeyman topic. Nothing better to talk about I guess.

[Any interest in bracket challenges? (NCAA/Stanley Cup Playoffs)]

I'm down for an NHL bracket

[Enjoying CN?]

Been around the game about 5 years now and still enjoying the game. Nice to see a reverse in player count recently even if the gains are negligible.

[Judgements Pt. 4 (31-40)]

A very accurate description of the STA.

[How to Save Our Beloved CN]

The war mechanics should be the next item to be updated. Finding the right balance so we have less time between wars. Quicker post war rebuilding or less damaging wars, not sure which way to go.

But what it really comes down to is retaining new players and the best way to do that I believe is to get them in an active alliance where members bond and become friends and CN almost becomes secondary to thier alliance community.

We have many longtime members in the STA who keep playing the game simply because of friendships made over the years. Many have friendships outside the game. Should our alliance go the way of the dodo I would guess 60% of our members would call it a day.

I could never get behind his policies, he seemed like a decent guy outside of politics and I really do feel for his family and friends.

[CN is losing players!]

I would like admin to ban or cap reps as a consequence of losing a war(The precedent is there with viceroys). This is the single biggest factor that is choking the life out of the game. The lenth of time it takes to pay off reps and rebuilding time after reps are paid is staggering. Remove the reps and perhaps alliances would be less concerned about the consequences of stirring up some drama.

At the very least it is a starting point without any major changes to the game.

[If you think my litterbox is full of crap...]

Is this me? I want to check before going off on one.

Don't know if Tyga meant you or not Bob, but you immediately came to mind after reading that sentence.
