Liberals have been big fans of this since 76. Trump is following liberal socialists with this one.

go have a beer party with your babysitter and your stuffed animals, you fluffing girls, and come back when youre fluffing men.

If beer is for a 7 year old girl, mgd is for what a 6 week old baby?

I just remembered my other question.. And this one I really don't understand..

The "play-in" games for the tournament. How can two of these games be for an 11 seed. If two teams are good enough to be considered tied for 11th, then isn't the loser of that game being denied a spot in the tournament when there are 5 teams already in which weren't as good? (12th through 16th seeds?)

Nobody knows and it makes zero sense to every single person alive, but do remember officially this is an amateur league so it isn't like we're seeing the best of the product or even a good tournament.

This is a gloriously ignorant and simplistic summation. Many of the lower seeds are automatic bids. Winning your conference tourny is an automatic bid, even if your conference is weak as fluff. Back in he day, the only way to get into the tourny was to win your conference.

The 11 seeds are usually bubble teams. Those that are the last 4 in etc. It gives teams that were "on the bubble for getting in" based on RPI and other fluff a chance at proving their way in. Even though they didnt get an automatic bid by winning their conference, they are usually better than the teams that win low level conferences.

This implies there are 20 teams who won their conference but weren't good enough to get an 11 seed or better.

Regardless, all teams look for advantages. Not all teams act like elite picks like the Patriots when they are caught. That is my issue.

Oh those 3 only Arod ever had anyone saying he wasn't on some kind of PED's. It was just implied that Lance was using the same stuff anywhere I ever read, unless you're on some entertainment site like ESPN. Bonds honestly his biggest accomplishments as a player were when he was skinny, but again if you read the ESPN's of the world those power numbers are all that matter. Arod honestly had a pretty normal career arch so he was less clear. But how in the heck would using PED's hurt any of what they did? We're talking PED's, not corked bats or scuffed balls!

Ray Rice won an appeal with an independent arbitrator and has his suspension lifted. He missed a year. Not sure if he has a team.

Stop being ignorant. I agree the NFL has been all over the place for domestic violence but using that as ammo in this case is stupid as fluff. Period. This is cheating on an organisational level. Look at the falcons and the sound piping for comparison. Not ray rice.

If the public gets upset, they punish the players. If the public doesn't get upset, they don't. The NFL has no morals nor does it care beyond profits.

Actually let me put this way.

I want to see the bots used as a way for an alliance as a whole to grow large enough it can under the rules of the server to grab another alliance so we have less land:land 200% type agreements because the BEST players are able to actually out grow the good players. It makes the game more competitive and skilled and less of a spread sheet game. I think bots can help this and thus why I want there to be hard to hit bots and large net bots with hopefully more land.

It's not possible:

Basically the bots would have to make 1 1/2 turrets for every 1 jet a player makes.
Mostly everyone on ALLIANCE are jet heavy. Since the attacker gets 150% bonus for attacking, bots are not going to be able to defend against players attacking them. Until they can retal back, it makes no sense to have them buy more turrets. The viewpoint Mrford was making is that higher net players will want to have higher net bots to grab, and its his belief that can only be achieved by the bots buying more military. I disagree, in that the higher net players are mostly landtrading. Mostly the lower netting countries are hitting bots. Not a single player made top 30 by hitting only bots.

Techers and indy's are larger in net. The game isn't all about the casher and farmer.

Evo is weird, I offered a favor because I was in evo once and loved being there and they have great members and they wanted and asked me to ruin their set. Who knows maybe things have changed for them, are they not into netting anymore?

Having the bots buy turrets is not going to work. If you check every set, all the bots have at least 10+ DR. Not all the bots stockpile large amounts of cash. The ones which do, shouldn't even bother buying military.

The commie bots are not the ones stock piling cash. The reason you're pointing out the commie bots is because your net is simi-close to theirs and you're unable to LG them, and so you're reasoning that if the other bots had similiar militarys that they'd all have great defense. - NOT TRUE.

But what really happens: the top players become the only ones able to tap these free land farms,. and they'd just hit them multiple times creating an even larger gap between the weaker players and the stronger players. Esp on alliance when you can carry 90% jets, there's no bot ever going to stop an attack from happening.

I want there to be a bigger gap between the top players. That's the whole goal imo of adding more land. Having land allows skilled players to grow. RIght now there's a logic and a reason to actually stunt growth and hide behind tags. Giving players incentive to grow more is not a bad thing. I want bots that grow and are harder to hit which gives an incentive for players to run bigger countries.

Mind you a basically untagged country shouldn't be able to break top 10 countries as easily as they can right now, but that's another issue for another day. A bigger top 10 starts to move the needle.

Commie indy's get big to the point they can't hit these bots. Some bots do go turrets and are hard to hit for those not holding huge amounts of jets. The issue in the game is today you have commie huge countries, the middle class, and the untagged masses. What made the game more fun back in the day is having an upper class middle class, lower class, and untagged. I think bots can give us that again but a few game changes might be needed later.

Still more targets for the top 25 so they can get BIGGER is huge imo.

I'm not a fan. I'd much rather see the bots buy military to some level first. Part of the value of the bots will be to have viable countries to farm as you grow. Thus you have LARGE countries still able to get land vs the past where bottom feeders had to intentionally keep networth low.

So adding to the if statement perhaps an and so they buy turrets if < 1,250,000 sum of (jets, turrets, tanks, troops) < 3,000,000

Something like that.

I like the idea of letting alliances make alliance wide decisions that impact all countries. It would add some interesting strategy and perhaps give an alliance a strength in netting but at the risk of another declaring war. It would have to be well thought out and planned as an error here could really hurt game play as well.

Having a subset of attributes to apply to an alliance would be interesting but I think Vic's fears are legit.
