[quote name='Mada Vopahsolog' timestamp='1319962142' post='2834938']
1. What doesn't make sense to you?
2. To implement this idea, players can't their Team Colour during war. The game mechanic still stays the same. Getting more use out of Team Colours and the added realism is still there.

Well the whole idea that one can only attack someone on their team colour makes no sense. Why would we want to attack our colour team-mates? If, say, NpO goes to war with Viridian Entente, it won't work because one is on blue and the other on green. VE would only be able to attack green alliances, the types of alliances they're in the UJA with. How does that make a realistic situation? -
Unfortunately it stands at one IP address and that's that. No exemptions. The no interaction part comes about if you unknowingly log in from the same place as someone else; the game alerts you if you're trading with someone from the same IP.
Otherwise, you can't have two nations on the same IP. -
Well it doesn't make sense to me but anyway are you considering the fact that players can choose whatever colour they want any time?

Le sigh.
Post provided for people who understood Davian overstatement as a good natured poke-joke and didn't feel ill-willed towards our members, I presume?
Seriously guys, math for this is on our very board. Look up my posts in embassies, it's one of more recent. Not to mention that some basic fact checking (it took me under 5 min to gather figures for aforementioned summary and comparison of MHA and our ghost-related data) contradicts this decisively.
I'm not going to paste it here, because MHA seemed focused on prolonging the life of this urban legend (and Halloween is coming, so it's all the more fitting misconception), but for all those who dare not check simple facts: that ghost-mha bit is simply not true.
[/quote]
So for the record, what if ghosts also equates to members who do nothing for the alliance even during war? Now I'm no MHA hater, quite the opposite, but it's sadly the way things are in most recruiting alliances. I find it hard to believe MHA has 500 productive members. Hence why people immediately jump the "but during war..." argument. -

That smiley just doesn't work as a thing. It looks like a badly shaven African who thought blond hair was just way too cool to pass up. -

I realize it would take a vanguard of nations that are going to have to take some serious pummeling in the beginning before enforcing non-proliferation can be possible. One day perhaps...

How would you enforce it? -
Congratulations, Colossus.

Oh you're still around.

Looking good. Congrats to two fine alliances.

I hope it never comes back.
Oh wait no, I have self control. It's all good. And it's up. May we all breathe a collective sigh of relief. -
It will be a Tuesday, which is one day after Monday and two days before Thursday 13th.
That's how I'm going to look at it, anyway. -
Third time lucky?

Is ShinRa still breathing at this point?

No one is winning yet, just shut up and war. This cyber &#$@ waving is getting a little tiresome
Do it in a different thread, at the very least. -

[quote name='JohnHancock' timestamp='1318298189' post='2822600']
If you got to the CN top right hand corner you will see a facebook like button, next to it will be a 4k ticker.
what does that 4k ticker mean? Is that how many people like CN, or is it money if someone likes CN but the developers never activate it.
Just a simple question. I'm sure it's a counter ticket number thingy.
[/quote]
It counts how many people have "liked" Cyber Nations through their Facebook account. You can see the same thing on the alliance stats pages. -
[quote name='Ch33kY' timestamp='1318236181' post='2822068']
I don't think the problem is in the interalliance relations. I think it is entirely in the game play.
There is currently no incentive for playing daily and there are no updates in the game structure. Until these two factors change, numbers will continue to decline.
The Admin wants you to pay donations but doesn't want to add anything to the game. The option of changing your resources was a suggestion from 2006/07.
[/quote]
So Admin changes something but it's not good enough because it's an old suggestion? That doesn't really make a good argument for his doing [u]nothing[/u]. I think any addition is worthy of thanks. The fact that this game has been running since 2006 is probably a good enough reason to pack up and stop altogether, but he's kept at it and even now is at least putting in some effort to maintain the interest. You can cry about how it's not enough all you like, but any effort at all is more than we deserve after all the constant !@#$%*ing and moaning.
But for the record, my only thought reading the entire OP (and I did) was "no, it's my turn to say what's wrong with the game". I'm not even going to bother; I'd just like to see people accept the game for what it is and stop saying it's dying. What constitutes dying? Players leaving? I say good riddance; it'll leave a core group of interested CN'ers and that's good enough. When the game is ended, not by people deciding not to play, but rather by Admin saying enough is enough, then we should all be thankful we experienced what is actually a pretty cool game (politically), and do something else.
If you'd like to save something that can't be saved, making threads honestly won't help. Every man and his dog has an opinion on what could better this game/environment. That means literally nothing, only that people by nature are complaining about things they can't control as per usual. -
[quote name='The Big Bad' timestamp='1318204251' post='2821775']
I am not throwing a tantrum over it I am laughing at it and you. Legion is winning a war. That just does not happen. Your ally is going to be far far far worse off for this war, that is if they even stay together. Legions allies are also laughing because if Legion had been attacked by alliances that were not completely failing at warfare they would have had to enter. Now they do not. You have sent an ally to its death, failed to draw in Polar, handed Legion a PR victory, a military victory and made yourself look like complete fools. Yeah its that bad. One of Planet Bobs biggest cluster $%&@ alliances has made you look like idiots. Way to reach out and grab that Worst Alliance Ever crown right back from Legion.

Just from an outside point of view, you might like to read the topic title. Luckily it's at the top of each page so you don't even need to read the OP. You see, it's a joint GATO-TLR announcement.

You're proving there's no substance to your argument. Just a deep hatred for GATO. Join the queue. -

Of course, never said I didnt see it coming
He served his purpose, so it's whatever.

Temporary score inflator? Unfortunately, people like that will only ever be such to a community. If he wants to be neutral, he should remain in a neutral alliance. Dancing around to avoid war is pretty pathetic.

But the game cuts off at two decimal places, so it will actually get dropped to zero before too long
[/quote]
Well of course. Two decimal places are a bit arbitrary though. After awhile, the amount of decimal places would be impossible to conceive. But it certainly wouldn't be in 9 days. -

Theres plenty of instances when MDPs aren't activated because they aren't necessary. If NpO doesn't need to go to war, it doesn't. There should be no negative PR from it.
Like when you were in VE and Kerberos Nexus declared war on you guys. All your MDP+ treaties didn't need to declare war. NSO+Tetris are about as effective as Methrages alliance was anyways.
[/quote]
I didn't say I agree with it, I just said that's how it is. NpO will likely be looked upon as not honoring their treaty, whether it's justified or not. Like in UPN's case. There were still people who thought UPN's allies were cowards even though UPN openly said "we asked them to stay out of it". Welcome to the peanut gallery.
And I'm not sure if you're referring to me or to Symphony, but I personally was never in VE, so I'm not really sure what you're getting at.
EDIT: And I don't know that it's wise to say NSO and Tetris are ineffective. I gather you're saying that because you're at war with them but there's PR and then there's blatant naivety.
Has there ever been....

Your question is akin to asking why there aren't any rainbow M&Ms in this packet I hold right now. There just aren't.
Mind you I have no idea if there have been, there's just never been a major one that I can remember. Plus coups are far different. They involve one or a small group of people getting kicked out of leadership/the alliance; a "civil war" is an all out attack on our own members which would serve no real purpose and would make one's alliance look like a joke.
I remember there being something that was considered a sort of civil war on the orange team. But you'd have to look that up on Wikipedia or ask someone that isn't holding M&Ms at the moment.
