You Old folks are cooking your own Goose. You say that you want new players but how’s that going to work? LMAO.

Some new player signs up only to be raped down to 500k NW by the bullies of the game.

Then he tries to fight back. But he can’t.

You think that “New” player is going to stick around?

Good luck with that.

So it’s a safe retirement home. Where old gamers go to nibble on each other then fade away.

Could be my last set.

The game and community have built societal rules. Adapt, learn how to use them to win. Reach out and we can talk about your concerns.

I need your services then. I have zero societal rules.

Josey and crew have suicided every clan on the server and then blame others for uniting to fight them. How utterly ridiculous you look asking for development to support your bad behavior and sheer lack of diplomatic ability.

I think it would be a mid ground to allow clan admins to designate specific tags as friendly or do not hit. At the point of making an attack a warning to the attacker would show asking them to confirm the attack. Would prevent more accidental hits and fat fingerings and also be a moderate way to implement in game politics.

I disagree. It has great potential but the 4 hour time to market makes it extremely difficult to be effective at arbitrage. Name a demo that made top 10 other than switching to demo for destock.

But demo could be much more viable all set long if TTM was reduced.

Demo's have a reduce market cost but I think demo's could be a lot more effective as a strat if the time to market for goods and tech was reduced by half. If the goal is to increase market interaction for Demo techer it would be vastly more useful if they could respond more quickly with a 1-2 hour time to market for sales.

That's interesting. Perhaps the dead country could request being respawned and the clan leader could accept?

I didn't call anyone out. There was more than one. Let's just solve our problems in a way that doesn't drive people out of the game going forward. HMU if you need help resolving issues with anyone in our tag. To echo Doug, let's have a great set all.

Great round overall. Amazing to see what netting can look like nowaday compared to the olden days. Would like to see less shenanigan suiciding and more skilled competition to settle old debts but proud of those that persevered and put up solid finishes.

A few shoutouts:
-Mercs for being great allies and helping dispatch suiciders this round and still putting up some top 10s (several other tags did also)
-En4cer was our one LaF pickup last round and he was an absolute gentlemen, even after being suicided and help mentor some returning old-timers.
-Doug and PDM were fantastic to work with through several concerns and overall just being super inviting back to the community
-Monsters had a great set ruined by punks and stayed open and friendly in the face of adversity

Keep up the great work folks o/
Looking forward to connecting with more folks this round!

A whole year to plan the festivities? I do recommend having mini reunions now at the alliance level at least. Big reunions are a lot of work and some extra helping hands are effective.

I think it would be interesting to change the formula to curve rather than linear percentage. For example, when you have 200k land and get an earthquake and lose 0.5% of your buildings it's not the same as when you have 5k land.

Likewise for cash booms. A cash boom at 200k land might yield you 20-30m more cash on turn but you might lose a half billion in cash worth of building cost for an earthquake to put it in perspective.

So creating a curve of rewards and penalties would be potentially really valuable.

Anyone interested in working together on a global community reunion? Inviting all the retired folk back? It seems most of the hosting forums still exist so we should have a collective treasure trove of emails.

We had a lot of fun seeing Evo folks come back this set and there's tons more we'd love to see yet. I'm sure everyone else could use a dose of nostalgia. In fact it might even give the bored suiciders something constructive to do ;)

There's two weeks left in the set. If anyone is interested please reach out!

Just to clarify some confusion going on. This was my comeback/resurrection thread from last set and I initiated a reunion set this set thus the growth of Evo membership currently.

@LittleItaly I think bots have permission in discord to exceed the normal post speed limitations but I've also never built that sort of discord bot so I could be mistaken.

Probably going to be super unpopular with this one because of the many robust bots that exist. But I believe in another post Qz suggested that he would be "fixing" the game official IRC server. I'm curious if it would be a good time to consider moving to discord which is a much more robust platform with a great API.

Hate away but figured I would suggest considering it as a community.

(I say this but I still have my IRC scripts and logs saved in a file from when I played decades ago and I'm unwilling to delete them lol)

Been a few years since I played a round and just noticed the price cap on units (Ex. troops can be sold for a max of 3-400ish). Why are we capping this? If someone wants to sell troops for $999 why not let them? I forget the history on this mechanic.

En Route: xx Tanks on sale for $xx each (Arrive in 155.5 mins)
En Route: xx Jets on sale for $xx each (Arrive in 167.1 mins)
En Route: xx Troops on sale for $xx each (Arrive in 3.3 hours)

Just curious about the time to market. These three sale* orders were submitted all at the same click. Is there a mechanic that defines a different time to market by unit type or simply staggering by count of unit? Feels odd and wasn't sure if this was a bug.
