Interesting comments about a mobile app. Unless there is pro-bono work offered, how do you propose it gets paid for on a free game? Not sure if its relative the the gaming world, but I am working on a app for one of my products at work. The cost for development, thus far is over $50k US. Again, I'm not a computer person, just one who manages development people and the associated finances.

In agreement with Namineff's vision, just not his or her approach :). The majority of us playing the game have no financial investment in the growth of the game as a business. So the suiciding either drives us away or forces us to adapt. In the end, who is writing that big check to lure new and younger players to the game? No one imo. But.. here i am, 15+ years later and the game is still around; so wtf do I know; we just all continue being fluffs; some of us gaining, and some of us warring and.. some of us restarting every other day.

p.s.
I dont really try to net anymore as breaking the nw record is pretty well impossible with the current environment. I went for the all explore challenge this round. I wont win that because i did a kr and switched governments lol. it was fun anyway.

I was in range! thats my point bud. I couldnt hit them, so they hit me again. build up my military, then they hit again. 1st hit, they were 2x above, 2nd, they were 4x above. I dont see any option to declare war, cant drop GDI.. I think your right in my country is broken.

You two fluffes are lucky GDI is preventing me from hitting you and I cant get out of it. I suggest you kill off my country now. Because if I am left alone enough to get to you, I am messing you both up something serious.


Last time I play primary using GDI.. fix that crap already!

Personally, idgaf. While I do not agree with what they did, I will admit I had fun with it. Fortunately, some of us prefer to wargain :) Mrcuban is correct, people will just adjust and others will welcome clicking the attack button repeatedly. For those of us who like that attack button, it means nothing if you get killed and your restart is ready to attack with substance 100 turns later (hate the game, not the player, or change the game). While that is occurring, those experienced at gaining and controlling the top ten will continue, while us wargainers are down below swinging fly swatters at these pests. So yea, idgaf... looking forward to next set.

Much has changed within the last 10 years. The last time I was in there, it was 2014. There was a group that started a strategy game similar to EE whereas, you actually had land, military, etc that you could physically see, but also an interface similar to EE to control it from. So when your country grew, you saw things added and when attacked, etc, you saw things disappear. I often wondered if whoever started that was originally from E2025 or EE. This came to mind when reading other posts about updating this game with some sort of GUI to attract new players in today's world...

Force the alliance server to be just that, an alliance server. Create the rule and code to support: “You must be in an alliance to play on the alliance server.” When creating an account, you would need to enter the alliance / clan or whatever you are affiliated with in order for the country to be created. Should someone decide to tag jump and suicide, etc, the issue would be managed by the alliances, as they were managed in the past ( diplomacy or a war between alliances). If you decide to leave the alliance you are affiliated with to join another, perhaps that could be changed in a preferences menu. However, entering no alliance affiliation would not let you progess further into the game or access your country. In addition, the bots in game should also be tagged with some sort of identifying. The intent of this suggestion is to force the alliance server to be what I believe the intent and spirit was; to allow groups of identified people play as one unit against eachother. Would this not solve the suicide issue in the alliance server?

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday..things you can say at Thanksgiving and get away with it...

1. Wow, that's one terrific spread!
2. I'm in the mood for a little dark meat
3. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist
4. Talk about a huge breast!
5. It's Cool Whip time!
6. If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!
7. Are you ready for seconds yet?
8. Are you going to come again next time?
9. It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?
10. Just wait your turn; you'll get some!
11. Don't play with your meat
12. Just open the legs open and stuff it in
13. Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once?
14. I didn't expect everyone to come at once!
15. You still have a little bit on your chin
16. Use a nice smooth stroke when you whip it
17. How long will it take when you stick it in?
18. You'll know it's ready when it pops up
19. Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that
20. How many are coming?
21. That's the biggest one I've ever seen
22. Just lay back and take it easy.. I'll do the rest
23. How long do I beat it before it's ready?
24. Damn that was some good pie!
25. I want extra gravy on my breast!

Bonus.. what NOT to say

Can I finish watching football first?

He ain't wrong. But we forgive you Tommy. You are old as crap.

Though, to give him the benefit of the doubt....he could of played on the BBS servers. Those went on for a few years before solaria was launched. Goooey Kablooie?


I know I started playing before it was called Earth2015 and yea, I think it was called BBS.. Regardless, Earth2025, playing with a 3 month old on my lap back in 1995-1996 I met Cerb.. So yea, he has been around for a while. I just thought he was my age, not older. TIE, Cerb, Patience.. good ol' days.


The original game was called BRE. Barren Realms Elite! I know Mehul got the idea off another game, but I dont remember what it was called. Solar Realms or Solar Planet. I never played it, just BRE. It was quite different from Earth in that there was no individual players/countries. Everyone was part of a team of 20 or 25. It was all done on the BBS servers, which is similar to DOS in how it looks.

I know I dated myself when no one was like "OMG Gooey Kablooie!". Like some of these people who started Earth at like 10, I started BRE at like 12. Which was in 93'. Then played one or two of the Beta tests in Earth2025 and then finally the first official game started in Sept of 96'.

I have said this similar speech probably two dozen times. So feel free to look at my archives. The one thing consistent is the mention of Gooey Kablooie and Sept of 96 was the first official game start. It was a single server game and at the time there was just over 250 players.

So feel free to use the info above to prove other people are wrong and or lying about their start dates. I probably should start a Wiki at some point as my memory fades and my peepee stops being hard 24/7.



Gooey Kablooie... I immediately thought of Calvin and Hobbes (my favorite) when you mentioned it.. if that was what you were referring to....
