    That's the key word you missed there imo. Basically depending on which resources you are arbitrarily assigned on day 1, when you can be fully expected to not really understand the benefits/disadvantages of having one resource or another, you can be permanently crippled or permanently on easy street just by chance. I have known many who have quit this game over trade-related conflicts and most had traditionally undesirable resources. I, on the other hand, got lucky with my first nation and had pigs/sugar and have been lucky with subsequent rerolling efforts so that I have never really had a problem.

    Yea, I can understand the benefits in that way, but I still don't think that the ability to change your resources is the answer. I just think that it would create more problems. Maybe some new BR's that make the 'less desirable' resources more desirable would be a better solution. I could be wrong and this new addition (if it comes to SE) could be the saving grace for what seems to be a slowly dying game. If this is the case I'd gladly eat my words.

    I guess I'm basically basing my opinion on my own experiences. My first nation had oil and sugar and I tried for months to find a trade circle without luck. However, those months of trying helped me to learn the game and to meet lots of cool people, and even piss off a few others with my constant PM's about trade circles. That nation got pounded during Karma. That along with my inablility to find a circle made me want to reroll. I got lucky with my reroll and got Fish and Uranium and have never had a problem finding trades since. I guess my point is that all the effort I had put into finding a trade set is really what turned me into the active CN'er that I am.

    CN doesn't take a whole lot of effort from the average player. Log on and pay your bills/collect taxes, buy some infra and tech, send a few aid offers and log off. Finding and maintaining a trade circle is one of the few things that takes some effort from players. I just think that removing that responsibility will make an already rather boring game just that much more boring. Of course, this is only my opinion.

    The Eagles did make the playoffs only to lose in the first round to the Packers. The Seahawks deserve to be in the playoffs because they won their division. It's not their fault that their division is garbage.

    The way things have shaped up in the playoffs this year is much better than having one or two teams winning every year. Now that the Jets have beat the Patriots, I like it even more.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're a Chargers fan. They traded away/cut loose all their good players (other than Phillip Rivers) so I wouldn't be expecting them to be any good for some time. :P
