[quote name='Sandwich Controversy' timestamp='1282840299' post='2431807']
-admin could add something to the game for the first time in years (not something like space wonders, I saw Crymson say recently that people buying effectively useless wonders despite their ridiculous cost just reminded people how bored they were. I agree completely)
-the game could be advertised elsewhere using banner ads or something (maybe it is already, I don't know, adblock supremacy)
-deleting TE which just splits the memberbase and makes people less likely to fight here
[/quote]
ALl of these ideas would be great. TE reminds me of that moon place. Something happens here, people take it out somewhere else without having to fear of consaquences. Because be honest, TE doesnt mean anything.
[quote]We are also loosing a lot of old time established players, new players are reluctant to really get involved and often loose interest and delete if they do, and I think part of it is for the following reason. The game has become whiny, and in a way that has nothing to do with sides because it permeates almost every corner of this forum and can be seen from almost every alliance. Words, titles, names, history, he said she said, alliance of origin, everything is used to aggressively draw people into arguments and berate them for almost every reason imaginable. Instead of giving a good old fashioned "$%&@ you, buddy", people try and vindicate every little sentence in hopes of making someone else look bad. Because of constant crying for a whole host of different reasons, no one can move, no one can breathe. In short, minutia has taken over, and the "game" has become one concerned with squabbling over details for page after page. The political intrigue that made this place what it is is dwindling, even from what it was a couple of months ago.

Huge. Point. Here.
I would be lying if I said I havent thought of leaving lately. The commmunity has turned into nothing but a bunch of immature 10 year olds. Any good arguement is instantly covered with immature replies and idiotic posts. The good arguements go away while the idiotic and immature ones are what people focus on.
Good posters are less inclined to post because they know the responses they will get ahead of time. Why bother making a good post if all you will get in return is "lol u mad" or "do something about it"?
People can argue that its the game mechanics killing the game all they want but they dont realize that the mechanics are the same now as they were in the "golden era of CN". Its the community thats killing the game, not the mechanics. -

It's like these guys get together and pass around cookie cutter topics to speak on.

no kidding.
Here Ill save everyone the trouble of what this topic is going to turn into.
"Im bored!"
"Im bored to, you go do something to make it interesting."
"no u"
"no u"
"im bored"
Topic over lets take a 1 day break and make another one then. -
Sad to see you go. One of the few good players remaining IMO.
Big loss, and not the last one I fear.
GL with that whole "life" thing. -
haha Gotta love it.
Congrats TIO and SOS. This is obviously the best treaty that Bob has ever seen signed. -
How I missed this when I knew it was coming I will never know.
Congrats on this. Good luck and happy growing guys. -

To be completely honest, my favorite time in all of CN was the space between the Unjust War and the NoCB War. Despite the lack of wars, the simple promise, the coming conflict, served to quench my thirst for action. Because I knew something crazy was brewing in the back channels, despite not knowing that it'd be Polar on the receiving end, was exciting in its own right.
Seriously, everyone complains that the game is stagnating. Look at how the world is set up!
There's no possible way out of a massive, game-splitting war between two major sides in the future. C&G and Superfriends have successfully set the game up for another polarized war (with or without Polar), the trick is being patient enough to wait. Stop allying both sides and start picking what you predict will be one side or the other, because it's bound to happen eventually, and when it does, it will be one hell of a war.
Likewise, when it does happen, the world will once again be set up for the former hegemony to at least compete, thus lending itself to more drama. C'mon people, use some foresight for once!

End of thread.
You said it best, right now the world is setting up for what could be the biggest war ever. It is only a matter of time before SF and C&G go at each other. People can say all they want about how they will never do it because they are friends and love each other and blah blah blah. The same thing has been said every single time in history when there are two major blocs or alliances.
The biggest difference is that this time there could be a 3rd side that decided the outcome of the war.
Anyone who has been around long enough knows what’s coming and knows that the next war could last for 6 months easily. With war chests in the billions people are just stacking up for the most destructive event that Bob has ever seen. -
Just look at the MDP web to understand why there are not more wars. You can’t attack a single alliance without 10 hitting you back.
Throw in the insane amount of reps and you just wont see many wars.
To many people are willing to sit around screaming “IM BORED!” while others scream “DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!” The amusing thing in that is the people screaming do something about it are just as bad as the people saying they are bored. Neither help the game and both detract from it. -
Congrats guys!
Good to see Valhalla finding new friends and NOR are good people. -

Can you give the BTA something in the South Pacific? Were turtles so Islands are out thing
We have 300k NS >.>
Edit: A Bluish Green color please -
Sad to see Skippy leave but Sup should be......decent....to replace him.
Good luck IRL Skippy and if anyone needs anything of the BTA, you know we are always willing to help our friends out. -
For the love of god IRON, why did you not do the world a favor and just destroy them?
Congrats on a well fought Victory IRON and DAWN.
Gramlins……..just disband already. -
GGA, this was long overdue but still sad. Even with the best efforts of some people GGA was too far over the cliff to bring the alliance back to what it once was. I still remember when we had that treaty in the GW era.
Good luck to you all finding a new home. -
This is BS
You were always fun to talk to, back when we did that lol, and you were a good player. A rare quality of player indeed. The game will be worse off for your departure.
Good luck IRL. -
You will regret destroying our treaty when we burn you to the ground...........wait
>.>
Wrong reply
Congrats guys. On to the 4th million and even more nukes! -
If you dont un-do this right now im going to go find a helpless Butterfree and light it on fire.
It was fun while it lasted guys(Except Tarikmo I still hate you).
Good luck whereever you land next. -
This is turning out to be priceless.
Penkala jumped on a soapbox screaming about how IAA is evil for spying and then refuses to show any proof that it was spying. Every account so far shows that they joked around…..and as was stated someone even yelled “SEX CHANGE” after the name swap. Oooooo so evil. Time and time again people are asking for proof and Penkala won’t give it. After he jumped on the soapbox to scream to the “peanut gallery” about the evil deeds he refuses to give that same peanut gallery any proof. Its just priceless.
The only evil thing that has come out of this topic is we all paid attention to Penkala again. -
If you have proof show it.
Otherwise this one is going to be put in my “some crazy guy rambling about someone he doesn’t like” folder. -

He's just bitter because he can't take credit for creating yet another a fine alliance...and subsequently running it into the ground. Sorry pal, but you had nothing to do with the TAB glory years. I am proud to call myself Original TAB and I always will.
[/quote]
I’m sorry what was that?
Which alliance is gone and which is standing?
Yeaaaa that’s kind of what I thought. -
When I was told of this a while ago I thought it was just my friends trying to cheer me up.
Guess they were really right.
Great way to come back after a little vacation. -
Congrats TCU. You have done a great job.
Its been fun being your allies. -
From all I have heard about NPO being evil on the forums and IRC I can tell paranoia runs deep in CN.
Even if NPO wanted to they couldnt do a thing to upset the power ballance right now. Its amusing to watch how many people are saying "NPO is out to get us" and then show no proof of them doing so.
No NPO isnt evil. They are just better at this game than most people. -
This means Legion is getting rolled right?
Right?? -
Thats no Moon.......thats Voodoo's ego........
Congrats Voodoo. GL with the new job. -
Your gov scares me
Congrats on 500k! On to 1 mill!

I agree with this.
There is no reason for me to advertise this game (ok, some small in-game cash bonuses).
But, there is PLENTY reason for me to NOT advertise it. Any person I know in RL who I get to play this game can very easily get us BOTH deleted which provides strong incentive to not recommend CN to other people I know in RL.
[/quote]
Exactly.
I have friends that are interested but I have flat out told them to not play this game on any network. Its not worth the risk of losing a nation because there are multiple people playing from the same university. Its only been luck thats saved me so far, and eventually that runs out.
The risk of having a friend play far outweighs the benifits of them joining.
