    It's actually up to both of you. Both of you seem to be paranoid enough to expect the other one to attack you first.

    It's silly. Better to worry about wars that are actually going on than to worry about someone who might attack you sometime in the future.

    We've wrapped up all our wars. All we have now is gameplanning for the future.

    How many legs should the ideal citizen have, two or four?

    Indeed, people finding that they are unable to play due to IP restrictions because a family member is playing, or someone at their local high school is playing, is keeping the number of players artificially lower. Handheld, Internet-capable devices may actually turn the tide somewhat as they become increasingly capable of navigating the CN web site and the cost of their use continues to plummet.

    Except I shouldn't have to be restricted to just using my phone to play a browser-based game. The IP restriction does more harm in preventing word of mouth advertising than anything else. I understand it's in place to prevent a flood of multi-accounts, but surely there's got to be another way to keep multis in check.

    In addition, it's how much of the game takes place outside of the game. These forums, alliance websites, IRC, etc. Someone new to the game isn't going to have a clue about any of that stuff unless they're keyed in beforehand.

    Also, when was the last time there was anything new to spend money on? Once you have all the improvements/wonders, all that's left is stockpiling land/infra/tech for a race to the top you're already far, far behind in. If we've got Moon/Mars colonies then let's go ahead and be unrealistic. Let's have alien tech. Let's add mechs to soldiers and tanks.

    There doesn't have to be broad, sweeping strokes and updates. Little things every now and then give us something to figure out and play around with. Yeah, the hivemind is strong and will have new stuff figured out to the decimal point eventually, but a constant flow of new things and additions will prevent stagnation. Take some risks; if it doesn't work then fix it. Something is always better than nothing.

    Maybe you guys should be worrying more about all those GOONS nations I've crushed that need aid to rebuild and I'll focus on keeping my own members active and able to continue.

    You might wanna go do that, by the way. All those new guys who you sucked into joining your death spiral? They ain't lookin' too hot right now.

    If you manage to get up to my range again I'll knock you back down again, but until then have fun feeling good about your minor victory while you're still out of my range.

    Me me me me me. It's all about Methy, folks.

    But hey, you could have prevented this. You got cocky and didn't want to land the knockout blow. Two of your underlings are suffering because of it. But as long as you get what you want, everything is gravy.

    I'd say you're a terrible leader but that would be a compliment.
