Another player from USIMP that i can't remember his game name and its killing me.


Young guy and his dad played. His father was a religious figure, priest or minister and got upset with rough language on the boards. The son couldn't ask his father about girls and what it meant when they said so and so. I believe it was his first ever GF and he was lost. lol

Fathers name started with an H and sons name started with a Q but that's all i can remember.

why I enjoyed this game so much.....

Just got a forum message from an old friend from the game.

Good to hear from you D

Also, hey RaTS, if your still here. Tell me about the game bug I told you about and you used to kill a crap load of countries.....

Also, what about a guy named bahde ahdz, I remembering passing back and forth good LG targets we came across even though we were in different tags. He ran a tag called Bod something, maybe just BOD.....

Between the medication and possible language difference, and if someone made her mad, I remember it was best to stay out of her way until she got over it.....

Actually wasn't her name Amazone?

I think Lag told me she was originally Queen, one of the founding members of USIMP. (before my time)

Guar was USIMP not HOMER I believe.

Laguardia

She was a regional manager for Walmart before they got all big and mighty.......she still with them and whats her current title?

Guar - He lived in massachusetts, good HOMER killer

Mystical Nightmare - Norwegian? Swedish? Pretty smart guy in school, engaged to marry. Maybe went to takers at some point.

Potomac / Randall - Quit game, did computer / software work in Washington DC, could do or get anything he wanted done in the game. The US version of llaar.... lol

Sully of MIA? quiet spoken but got stuff done.

There was a female killer from MIA, grouchie / moody as all hell but made countries disappear, i believe she was disabled / medical issues. Can't think of her site / game name. Amazon maybe.

OK

Had to ask, I never accused you, just having to explain to people we are not the same person is getting old.

Everyone I speak to seems to think it was you and you don't seem to have many fans here.

What the hell did you do?

Well, looks like its Vodka / OJ

Visited 5 customers and only one was open due to the storm.

Made an appearance with my boss so I won't have to take a vacation day and putting ice in a glass momentarily.

As long as we don't lose power.........its all good.

:-)

Well

Hate to say it but I'm gonna try to go to work.

Oh and whoever is using "Fiat", you suck.

Spending my time convincing people that I'm not Primeval is getting old.

Primeval

Rumor has it you were using "Fiat"

I need a vote

Dig out my truck and go to work

or

Stoke the fire, make a vodka / oj

or

Go back to bed?

(Oh and check your clan apps pls)

I hear and agree with you.

I remember the obligations as a clan leader. At times it was more like work than an online game.

Time is tough and putting it into an online game is probably harder for most.

I guess I just need to decide if this new version of the game is worth putting said limited time.

"ok we will do our 3300 grabs on all the new players, how long do you think they will play for????"


Most if not all new players experience this.

It's what drives them to be better players, join tags, learn from veterans, learn strats etc.

Think back to your early days playing the game.

I'd be surprised if this didn't happen to you as well.

"umm TKo doesnt use IRC at all as an alliance, our players log in, check the boards , play their countries ,log off and go and do other things

i'm the only TKO member that is active on the boards and IRC"

So you guys don't even talk to each other let alone other players in the game.

Sounds like a big part of the original game is gone here.

Yall have a pretty active board and I give you credit for that but the game side seems messed up.

"plus self farming is quicker then finding targets in other alliances"

Every computer comes with Free Cell or Solitaire.

Part of the enjoyment of the game is the interaction between players, both leaders and grunts.

If all you do is log in, self farm and AB for DR, spend 30 minutes talking in your IRC channel about how fat your countries are getting and log off.......

Why bother?

Whats in it for new players?

How do you sustain the game?

Yawn.......

"you say we do 160 hits is that per country?"

16 Countries, 10 per country........

Was just an example and I have not singled out TKO.....you did.

I also haven't spent any time analyzing how masturbators run their countries. From the news, I have just made a guess on the quantity of masturbation.

I am pretty sure that all players know right from wrong concerning self-farming.

Those that do and those that choose not to know its just wrong.

The only way to ultimately fix it is to get the owners of the server to make a coding change.

If everyone self-farmed, how dull of a game would this be?

No pissing contests, no skill, and who cares who wins?

"Fiat you just have shown you have no idea how self-farming works"

Uncle Fiat preferred as someone in IMP was using my old game name and want to keep our game identities separate.

You are correct. I have never self-farmed but I will admit to masturbating.

I also prefer calling it masturbation as the countries using it are playing with / against themselves on a "war" server.

I can also say I'll never be upset when someone accuses me of not knowing how self-farming or masturbating countries are run.

Warster

I don't recognize your name so you'll have to disregard my lack of respect for you.

Likely the same for you as I just got here not too long ago after a significant break from the old game to here.

I'm an older player that has no reason to lie or fib about what I see and have no problem expressing my opinion when I see something that is obviously messed up within the game.

I spied the country and it took all the restraint I could muster from grabbing it.

I figured their has to be a reason why no one else already hadn't taken their pokes at it.

That's why I started this thread.

I'm trying to figure out why countries like this are out there.

Assuming that people abide by the 16 country rule, 10 hits each within your countries makes it around 160 SS/PS's.



Telling me that I can only grab one of yours once or heaven forbid twice in a day after you masturbate 160 times is ridiculous.

Actually haven't touched a self farmer, just trying to figure out what happened to the game. Back in the day, if a country 2 ranks above you had more than 3 times the land with basically no defence & and an all jetter, people tripped over each other grabbing it.

Just trying to figure out the mindset of the server and trying to decide how I have to adapt my playing style on this server.

There has to be a reason why everyone has lost their balls here.

Oh and its very gracious of them to limit themselves to 50k acres. I suppose they would get sore from max turn masturbation.
<sarcasm intended>

What do they do with the rest of their turns, obviously they don't build up the acres.

Basically I'm trying to decide if this server is worth the effort if I'm not comfortable with the self-farming.

Where is the challenge? Even if I build some decent countries, I don't stand a chance in war or net worth against clans that self-farm. Is it worth playing turns?

Why not implement a rule limiting / eliminating self-farming to level the field or give the mastubators their own server so they can ........I better stop there.

Instead of calling this FFA, call it the masturbators server and make one without self-farming and bring back the challenge of building a decent country.

Why would TKO grab anyone else with all the land passing back and forth between their fat no defense countries and knowing the defense in their "targets"?

And what happens when a self farmer grabs an outside tag. Must get dicey when the target retals and the land has moved all over the tag.

Self Farmers getting annoyed doesn't concern me in the least. It's not a valid "strat" with minimal skill set.

What should annoy you is having to justify the masturbation.

Dragon

Back in the day you were the anti self-farming crusader.

What happened?

Or is this a different Dragon?

How much skill does self-farming take?

What enjoyment can be gained from the game self farming all your turns?

And if a country self farms, has no defence....

Why aren't people grabbing them? Is there some FA deal?

Why explore or sell mil when theirs a TKO country on your score sheet.

Self farming by proxy if I grab a self farmer?

No......not even close.

Is self farming considered netting?

I always thought it was a form of masturbation or playing with yourself.

For the heck of it, I just spy op'ed a self farming tags country on one of my score screens.

1.5 Bil Cash, Crap load of food on hand, 350 turrets and 25 troops on 19k land.

Do they agree to FA pacted alliances to keep from being farmed?

Why pact them if you know they are gonna run low mil fatties?

If they end up with the top country, do they still "win" or does everyone put an asterisk by their countries due to the self farming?

How boring is it to self farm all set? What is the challenge?

Is there any way to get news without the self farming clogging it up?

Whats your board name there?

Can anyone point me to a max tech per gov page? Looked briefly in the wiki but was a no-find.

If anyone needs to get in touch, I have an old email that still works. I use to use it for online games and such.

My current primary email is my last name & first initial at gmail if you know me well enough.

I don't recognize your board name, it's been a while. Did I know you under a different name?

not hiding.

What do you need?

Contact info or country #'s?

"Fiat"s Countries?

Thats true Crip. Ive never played this version of the game.

First time here, made 16 and can't believe how hard it is to get the initiative to run them.

I remember running a crap load back in the day (by hand) when it was allowed.

Now 16 is looking like a mistake lol

Are Bad Dana aka Stinky or Dallas still around?

Both were impressive killers I bumped into along the way.

UnGod / Angel

And it was on an IM program with El Mariachi, not in-country.

And DM, didn't you get banned for a bit? I don' remember the exact drama that caused it but i think I remember seeing a screen shot...lol

DM (or I Believe it was Dark Morbid)

I never had issues with players that I remember, as it was a game to me. I enjoyed the banter on the boards.

I remember a guy named Harry and the Harry clan that got me wound up for a bit.

Duel's UnGod and his girlfriend (?) both Mods if i remember correct, were tough adversaries but I respected their strength in the game. His FA skills pissed me off, lol.


I had fun fighting El Mariachi (?) as we chatted back an forth in-country as we killed each other when he ran / taught a group of spam tag newbies. Can't remember the tag name though.

If you hear from "Fiat", tell him I have a few questions for him.

I wonder how many accounts "fiat" is running in IMP?

Thunder loved killing IMP so for him to be there is kinda surprising.

My best imp story was a contest we had to get as many members into imp and the contest was who could get the highest rank as a spy in their site.

I remember the winner got to level 6 (of 12 levels) and we were half their membership at one point.

Imp was on the decline at that time so we never got to use it to our advantage.

Fake Fiat got awful quiet.......

This may be wrong but didn't a BSS player or leader use

~wiggle~

or

~wiggles butt~ in his signature?

I remember making a second name and stalking him or her with it.

I honestly don't remember what tag we were in together sorry but i remember chatting quite a bit with you.

Desperado

I'm 100% sure my contact info has all changed since I played Earth 2025 including email and I no longer have any IM programs.

My GMAIL address is my first initial and last name, but I won't post it here.

vern

Like I said, my memories of the game are fuzzy, but weren't you in BSS? (Blood Soaked Skulls?)

My name came from me being in the Auto Parts Business and my first string of countries were either car makers or large car parts makers. I remember ACDelco, Motorcraft, Chevrolet etc including Fiat. When I needed an in-site name in HOMER I went with the country name that finished the best or maybe had the highest rank at the time.

I don't need to prove to anyone that I am the player that went by Fiat and then added Uncle when my sister had kids.

I just stopped by, made 16 countries and checked out the forums.

My guess is its someone that wants to post under a different name to keep their primary name drama free?

I'll be the first to admit that a lot of my old game memories are fuzzy but I'm pretty sure that anyone that knew me would know I would never tag IMP except to spy on them from the inside.

Imposter

Hey "Fiat"

Did you make it clear that your not me and your just using my old game name?

Hey "Fiat"

Got any contact info?

What would happen if I stopped by to check out a game I used to play and found someone using my name?

Hey Fiat..........Why are you using my old game name?

Someone in IMP using my name? Why?
