Ardus Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 The game ended years ago, just nobody turned out the lights and played the "go home" music. Roll IRON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Buscemi Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I knew that losing GWII would ruin this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzog Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 As I've posted elsewhere, the game died for me when, working with FAN, I obtained information on a massive cheating ring, reported it, provided multiple screenshots, and nothing happened. That was in 2009. Completely unrelated to the above, congratulations to the NPO on winning the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll IRON. Pretty much. I'm just here because of all the memories of drama. I've actually spent most of my time in this game in RIA even though I mostly don't associate my history with RIA, that's just the last place I landed before everything died. There's so much awesome history that we all collectively just made up and went along with, in a game with an admin who didn't really care maybe even at all to be honest. It's pretty amazing to look back and see what we, the players, did here to make it fun. I'll see y'all again when we hit 1k.

Joseph Black Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 It took effort to build the game from nothing and it will take effort to bring it back. There are just to few willing to put in the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what effort would that entail? As far as the game's statistics and treaty webs go, your very alliance is part of the 95/5 problem, is it not?

Joseph Black Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) No question we're part of the problem. Our political connections have been established to maintain security. And we dont engage in any kind of political roleplay that would delve deeper or pose unnecessary risk to the global peace. Collectively new alliance arent viable as a means of shifting culture or discourses. I'm not leaving my alliance and neither is anyone else that has established connections and community. Without growth in the community there is only decay. And with most alliances either completely inactive or socially removed from the world thats all that is left.

So you acknowledge your AA is part of the problem, but won't initiate any community effort because you wish to maintain the very security that is causing stagnation. You also claim that new alliances don't have the clout to have a forceful enough impact. You can't call for 'community effort' if you expect others to do it for you and you aren't going to at least try and lead a charge. You are the dog in the house that is on fire saying "This is fine" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can any kind of security have any value when everything is dead? What do you think you're securing? Don't get me wrong, I am not implying that you should change your play in any way (I have totally no freaking clue about it, and neither about you, by the way) I am just baffled that anyone can still have anything they wish to preserve in CN. (In case anyone is wondering why I am here and why I post, then: I haven't been really playing since 2015 and my nation is still around just as a courtesy towards its trade partners.

We still subscribe to the notion of engagement and in the spirit if that engagement mantain relations with those who will have us. All that is required for the game to be brought back is for the players to engage again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
