Re: XDemonX's Desert Oasis

I do not have time to lead. I vote xdx vs. azn. I was also the one who called you out for killing Leesus. Whatever you want to say, he hasn't returned to the game because of you. That's a fact. Since no one wants to actually take time to read what I have to say, as apparently long, well written post...

Re: XDemonX's Desert Oasis

Holti has not only developed the player base through her "casual" alliance but also brought back returning vets and catered to the euro-friendly crowd that has been frustrated for a long time. Red Rocket only ops for you or Azn and a 12 hour time difference is very different from a 5-6 hou...

Re: XDemonX's Desert Oasis

A good start, I think, to a possibly interesting map. Here are some suggestions/feedback I'd offer: 1) Possibly increase the connectivity between racials. This will promote more peace and also foster some early game hunting. Clustering the warps in the desert galaxies would also address this issue. ...

Jouldax' Concept Evolution Map

I came up with an idea for a future round (maybe next). I know there were mixed opinions on my racial evolution map. So, I'd like to offer a combination solution: Start with a fixed map BUT let the alliance leaders make 1 change to the map every day or few days. The changes would be limited in scope...

Re: Winter Solstice

We've been pushing for more player input for years. I'd like to see us migrate to a simpler webboard solution, for example, but that's not my area of expertise. None of us are "power-hungry" at all but there needs to be a decision making hierarchy. I think most people believe this map is f...

Re: Winter Solstice

There is nothing to do in the game That's because this game is old and stale. Amazingly, however, there isn't any less to do now than there ever was. Turns are limited. Alliance sizes are limited. It's the player base that's the problem. I'd love to get Sergei and Orca to come back. Guess what? Get...

Re: Winter Solstice

Let's try a different angle here. Why did guys like Sergei and Orca quit the game? Because there wasn't enough activity. The maps weren't the problem then and they aren't now. The problem is the player base. Other than you and Azn, there are maybe a handful of "hardcore" players at most. L...

Re: Winter Solstice

Honestly, I didn't even want to bring up last game or this game, for that matter, which has us (casual) against pretty much all of the active hunters in the game. You know what we did last game? We took several new players, including Kenny in an NMV, and let them have FUN! I understand that our infr...

Re: Winter Solstice

The map should have been posted for discussion beforehand (I'll take the blame for that), but in reviewing the map, there are at least a couple of pgals that are fairly defensible, especially if you have people online, and, by and large, the map layout is fine with decent routes. We also have an adm...
