WalkerNinja Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I've heard it often said, "The only reason that I play this game anymore is for this community. I love alliance X!" If that's the case, why get upset about a reset? Personally, I'm for it. I can get my 7k tech back, and the chance of having a level playing field again (if only for a little while) is too irresistible to me.

Delta1212 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I wouldn't mind a reset except for the fact that I know a lot of people that I like would leave if one happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred von Tirpitz Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Go for it!!! Do eet, nao! I will reroll into TOP or the NPO, just to see how the elite or the Francoists live. Not much chance of that happening without a reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogaden Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 A reset isn't really necessary as every few months the good people of planet Bob do a thermonuclear reset of their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogeWilliam Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 We have CN-TE. I would like to see a second server for plain CN opened. That way people don't lose what they have here but you can have the level playing field you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I seem to remember this question from somewhere That said, nope. It'd be completely awesome just to see what happens. TE doesn't really count, as the whole thing gets blown up every two months. If we could just reset the main thing, it would be Hilarious, since we'd be redoing the first few months of CN, only this time we know about LC cycling and such. Fun times.

Kevin McDonald Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I don't believe a reset is required. I would also bet that in 6 months time you would see about the same rankings as we do now (not same NS wise, obviously, but the nations that are on top now would still be on top then.) I also think it woul drive the less active nations that only check their nations once a week away. They wouldn't know what happened and would just be frustrated by the entire thing.

shilo Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I think the result would be more dissapointing than some might expect. Even though the numbers (nukes, tech, infra and land) would be much lower, the rankings wouldn't look much different after a couple months. Ultimately, it won't have changed the dynamics of the game, which would be the logical motivation behind a reset, unless the reset were accompanied by a complete change of game rules, which would force alliances to once again start figuring out how things work and have something of a challenge again for a couple months. A blank reset would do nothing but put people who cared to invest a little brain and time into their nation on the same level with those that never bothered, or failed.

Shodemofi-NPO Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I am opposed. CN would lose lots of people and it wouldn't really make it more fun, alliances like TOP and Gramlins would just spend all day crying in a corner.

thaone Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I don't like a reset, the strongest point of CN is the fact that it has this much history. Although most people probably hate the NPO won/lost GWI discussion, I think those and others discussions like that make CN unique. I'm very afraid we'll loose all that history when CN would be reset.

xoindotnler Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Nope, that way we will lose a large number of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some-Guy Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'll take a reset anytime. Nothing more reinvigorating for this game could happen, short of a huge amount of development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenderek Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I guess I wouldn't mind the reset as much as I would mind all the people who would leave because of one. Also, why do people keep bring this topic up every year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heracles the Great Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'd be interested in a global reset - but it'll never happen... I was pushign for it after the GRL went up to 40+ during Karma War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selmy Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I lost my nation to 20 days inactivity in July, and just rerolled last week...if we got a reset now I would be ticked. I don't think that most of CN's population would enjoy one. I would mind losing people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilien Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I don't think I'd give up all of the history for a shot at "what if?". Well, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anenu Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 a reset is a terrible idea because it will accomplish nothing and set back the political world by some time. Its not like a reset would make alliances stop hating each other it would just mean that the ones with the most members would be in power and the ones with organization and skill at nation building would be put at a disadvantage for a couple months before rising to the top again. In short all that would happen would be many people leaving the game and several months of building up with nearly no political action or drama that keeps CN alive.

PhysicsJunky Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 You're going to lose more people than you'd imagine. Those more likely to quit are highly underrepresented on the OWF. At lot of time has been sunk into nations but more importantly a lot of money has been sunk into donations. You're either going to have to carry over donations in a big way or lose almost all chance in people investing in more of them. And if you carry over donations at the rate they're worth to a small nation ($12 million = $20 RL seems to be market value) what's the point in resetting? To make it worse most people buy donations from other people. Those other people lose out on all their previous donations completely. You'd literally be pissing in the face of some of the people donating the most money to the game even if you do carry donations over.

The AUT Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm just afraid, if we do get a reset, what was this all for? I mean I like stability, the face of this game constantly changes. Of course a fear could be nations growing too big and being almost unconquerable but that's for the bold to decide when to go in for the kill. I just don't like the idea of resetting, some things should just remain constant. And if you want to change the landscape of this game? Well, do it yourselves.
