Well, this degenerated again. Oh well. You're the one who often makes the blanket statement of more turns means more activity, when it is simply not true. Too many turns and most people cannot actually spend them and hence give up trying and so have turns but do not/can not use them, there needs to ...

Just because a select couple of people here think that slow is better doesn't mean the entire playerbase will follow suit. JJ, just because the members of your alliance all like having small galaxies with too many turns doesn't mean other players benefit from it. I would bet that my play style woul...

JJ, all games are about sportsmanship. Games are no fun to play with sore winners/losers. That's a fact of life. Again, I'm trying to draw this away from game mechanics, but everyone seems to be rolling back around to it. For the moment, JJ, I'll roll with you on this one: Let's assume traders are l...

JJ, If Sergei was on his own, he wouldn't be a problem. Nor would Orca, or any of them. Do you really think Sergei would be at 36 kills or what not if he was playing by himself? Sergei is not the problem. No player is the problem by themselves. The problem is the overall elitist attitude that has ca...

I want a discussion to take place that involves as many people as possible in a productive and useful process. I'd like to see if it's possible for us to discuss ways f...

This isn't my version of occupy SMR. Sure, I used language like that because I felt like it had contextual meaning that coincided with the point. Comparing this to that important NBA game is silly. A more apt analogy would be pitting the Knicks versus a high school basketball team and then not inter...

I don't have much time at the moment, but I wanted to address the few responses we have. Jester, I appreciate your input, but I specifically asked that this thread remain devoid of that discussion. There are other places where it is acceptable. This thread's purpose is to enter into an open discussi...

Hello Everyone, I've come to address the activity issue, and hopefully provide an interesting perspective on it. Some of you may have seen me pop up every once in a while over the years, and just recently I've started moving around again. I originally told myself I would only trade by myself; just a...

I liked that feature too.
