Coronavirus (yeah yeah, it's a strain of the flu) - 3k deaths/year so far and flu season is almost over.

Do I want to catch either? Nope. Am I freaking out about either? Still nope. And I have a daughter with a compromised immune system that forces me to pull her out of school if another child in her class is brought in sick or if her temp rises as much as a degree.

Relax. We'll get over it. Just like bird flu and swine flu and... etc.

I think you are underestimating how much you should be panicking right now. I suggest you start allocating the appropriate level of doom and gloom and prepare yourself to take on the Coronazombie hordes like I am.

Discord's API is limited to 120 events per 60 seconds, or about 2 per second.

During attacks, newsbots will far exceed this volume.

The way to get around this is to put the messages going to the channel into a queue and send the request to Discord every 0.5s if the queue has > 0 messages.

I haven't had time to add that logic into either a game-related bot or the IRC <-> Discord bot that we're using.
If someone else codes it into the IRC <-> Discord bot I'll see about setting it up, though!

There's still the obvious downside of potentially not having hits make it to the channel for 0.5s, which might upset some people who want their information to be instant (like IRC is).

We have a few people around who work on Discord so I think this could be achieved.

I don't think a fraction of a second will matter much in terms of news delivery.

President - Xyle
Vice President - MauricXe
Head/Advisor - GarryOwen
Head FA - Mobster
Head IA - Class

http://sof.earthgraphs.com
http://rage.earthgraphs.com

All pacting for our tags will be primarily handled by Mobster, our new Head FA.

To clarify for everyone, SoF and Rage are 2 Alliances that operate separately but are lead by 1 united leadership group.

It didn't end up a great war, but obviously the restart changes posed some serious challenges for both sides. SoF came out with the victory this time around, but who knows what else is around the corner.

To Elders and Mercs... We know you guys are great competitors and respect the hell out of you. Looking forward to seeing you guys bounce back next set. I've known Spaced, Symbolic and Ironx forever and you guys are awesome. Don't quit Spaced!

To Stones... We have not had much contact or dealings with you guys, but you are always seem to be great sports and I like how you guys just do your thing without making too much of a scene. Props to Groot for having a nice country.

Good walling efforts from Derrick, Requiem and Celphi. We enjoyed the challenge!

Much love to Azn. Sorry for killing you first... forgive me? :p

Just to correct you regarding those switching tags, Rage is a SoF tag. We shifted anyone who *preferred* to netgain this set out to Rage, and anyone who wanted to fight in to the SoF tag. Amongst the players who shifted to Rage are Ninong, Class, Trilogy and Milla... all of whom are some of our best performers. In fact I'd argue that those 4 are stronger than those who changed in. Ninong is one of SoF's best and always has a monster country as you would have seen last set. It just came down to who wanted to fight and who wanted to netgain.

Unfortunately this set we learned that restarts came out with zero turns which really damaged the impact restarts had on the war (and also reflected badly on the restart rate of both sides). With the restart changes there was a lot less attacks being made from both sides and as a result a lot less kills. What we are finding is that those who have died are going inactive while sitting on the sidelines for a few days after being unable to participate.

Actually SoF had a dominant war display last set alongside Elders in our win against SOL/Stones.

SoF still has higher stock. Elders/Mercs/Stones were production heavy countries. We rotated nuke targets to nerf production.

But the war is far from over and is a bit of an arm wrestle. Not even close to a winner being determined as yet.

Without nukes it would be no contest. You overrate Russia. Russia’s military budget is a fraction of the USA.

It is obvious then that you did not watch the testimonies in full. Watch them unedited and not part of a news report.

There is a reason why the charge was not of bribery which is what they were all talking about before impeachment. They went for “abuse of power” instead because there was no solid evidence to warrant the bribery charge which they really really wanted.

The thing is the aid was not withheld nor was the aid even mentioned in the phone call. The witnesses are pure heresay and secondhand information.

The only thing I will say about the UI is that it is vastly different to the current UI. It is sleek and it looks good, but it also looks like a totally different game. This new UI may appeal to new players or it may not, I certainly hope that it does, but we need to be careful not to eliminate the nostalgic factor which gives the game appeal to old players.
