    Polar-Fark side? They're allies but the wars have yet to cross paths. I'm not going to argue whether they're separate wars or the same war but there are not enough DoWs yet to officially make a coalition out of the Polar and Fark.

    For the sake of convenience I think everyone's sort of boxing them off into those categories.

  2. Community is where the game lies. "Relevance" is a bit of a weak argument. If a new player is swept up into a good alliance and taught right, then they'll be told to forget about the likes of Hime Themis who has been donating and getting aid since forever. To be relevant, you need to have a nation. To fight opponents, you need to be about 10k NS for it to start being fun. Tech dealing gets you there in a few weeks, not 2-3 years.

    Honestly, if we're teaching players that they're irrelevant until they're 100k NS+, then they'll feel that way. They don't know the game, so don't draw their attention to the flaws. Tell them how to tech deal, introduce them to the community and let them have fun. Involve them in an alliance. There's half the work already. There's literally [b]no[/b] argument against a good community.

    Well that particular fellow broke some rules. Then there's the difference between confidence and belief in an abstract concept based on pre-determinism. Then there's the fact that it's not our alliance's motto. Then there's the fact that it's a paraphrase from some song lyrics. Take your pick.

    Hope you didn't spend too long looking that one up!

    Do you feel better now that you've forced some intellect in there? Stick to the race.

    Why even bother?

    Good question. Same could be said about your post :P

    GPA being neutral. Big surprises in this thread. But kudos on doing what you do.

    Uh, no. How about you don't respond unless you have an actual, useful response. First of all, what does the USSR have to do with this? Most of its members aren't even in the EU and it was mostly in Asia. Secondly, the UN is nothing like the EU, the world compared to one continent? And lastly, I asked how to add a flag, I didn't say "which flag should I use."

    And I answered. Or would you rather stamp your feet?

    Grämlins had a nation join as part of that tech gain right? right?!?
    [/quote]

    True, most of the gain was from [url="http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=185224"]this guy[/url], but I like to think they actually just have 10 aid slots each.

    There's your problem, you don't know who Rick Perry is. Google Him! And to answer your question?!!? What on earth are you talking about??

    I never said anything directly on the matter of "Screw the game". In fact that's not at all in my statement. I'm just saying that addressing the game's problem using a Political presentation format is not going to work. After giving this some thought I really can't see anything more we could do to improve the game without changing what make Cyber Nation unique. We can only add more for the noobie. Maybe make it easier for them to grow fast at first, but to every game that is out there has a design of challenges that make the game worth wild. Change to much of the game and it becomes too easy to play.

    But Dude really!? I know there are grammar issue within most of my posting, and a lot of people have a hard time reading them, but my statement was very clear. I don't know how could you come up with your comment, but really, I don't care. Just can be annoying sometimes :smug:

    Someone is actively taking a role in revitalising the game. You flamed it because it had Rick Perry associated with it. That's dumb. It doesn't matter who he is, it's just the political beliefs of the guy doing something for the game.

    It's not your grammar that needs help, it's your comprehension.
