I'm curious, why was that site worth 4 bonus points and the others 2?

Ho ho, you sure showed me!

I know it's 4x private market price or something like that, the point is that's exactly the sort of thing the wiki should have and I couldn't find it there when I looked.

I wonder how many people don't know that all number fields recognize 'k' and 'm' for thousands and millions of units.

There's a big difference between being a victim of a hack, e.g. having your CC stolen from some big corporation, and being the specific target of a hack.

-take off every sig.

This can lead to a waste of a turn 3 ways:

1) The sell price of the unit is over the max
- where is the max price even published?
2) The quantity to be sold is over the max
- e.g. trying to sell max jets while an OA is making hits
3) A non-integer is entered in either field
- trailing spaces etc. can be common on mobiles

This is a 100% "dumb down the game" request, because it turns out I'm quite dumb myself.

Would it be possible to show the number of bonus points you have available to spend on the main menu page? Often times I'll do the bonus links while still waiting for a 12/18 hour login bonus, and completely forget about it by the time I log in. There's already a field there showing how long until your next bonus is available, this seems like a good place to show what's already been earned.

I had to leave it disabled back when it worked, the constant updates were battery killers when viewing the site from a mobile.

Psst, I supported and contributed to the Roemer campaign. But I must still be an irrational idiot for daring to call out hyperbole, right? And since it was Republican-branded hyperbole, I surely must be the strongest type of Obama supporter there is!

I'll respond to your clever insults with some questions -- where do I say that the overall debt or remaining deficit doesn't worry me? Does anything short of full-throated denouncement make me an 'Obama supporter'? Isn't it even remotely possible that both sides are guilty of hyperbole and numbers-twisting to make their respective points as I was trying to point out?

This is exactly why I try to stay out of political discussions. Most of the time, people would rather think of new and creative ways of insulting each other and/or declaring how much they dislike the other side, rather than having a rational discussion.

Yes, what a deceitful liar I am for using projected numbers for a fiscal year that hasn't even started yet!

But you raise a valid point. 2012 revenue was 94% requested, and expenditures 102% requested. Derating the 2013 numbers this same amount yields a reduction more like 20%. My points stand: it isn't the 50% promised, but it isn't increasing out of control as some would have you believe.

Still happening, both allies definitely had turrets and definitely dropped more combined NW than indicated in the summary:

They took:
nnnn Acres(nnnn Gained)
nnnn Buildings(nnnn Destroyed)
nnnn Bushels
$nnnn
nnnn Technology Points
Your military lost:
nnnn Jets
Your offence allies lost:
nnnn Troops
nnnn Jets
nnnn Tanks
Your enemy lost:
nnnn Troops
nnnn Turrets
nnnn Tanks
Their defence allies lost:
nnnn Troops
nnnn Tanks

There are plenty of things the President has done wrong, but I'm amazed how persistent the spending/debt claim is. Of course the debt is still rising, but the deficit is down about 35% from when Obama took office. This is well short of the 50% reduction promised in his campaign, but implying that the needle is still moving in the wrong direction is silly.

When grabbing another country, the defender's allies' troop and tank losses show up in the summary, but not turrets. Is this working as intended?

The only advantage by strategy goes to CI, since they're already typically loaded up on units and reducing expenses via bonus. They'd still need to pay attention to SDI like everybody else, at higher cost than say a techer. It'd balance out one way or another.
