The only thing I read, here. tmac owns.

I mean, I guess the win by TC was ok. 2nd highest nw of all time is good. I bet with a few new recruits from reddit and some reunion set emails you might be able to get the 50 people needed to beat our 5.

Dude. You are missing the point.

Not 20% of what your current explore rate is. 20% of the original explore rate. I am not thinking of it as it works today, but as in simple terms as far as how to implement it with little to no work. So, if they put in code a starting amount and just take the percentage based on that. Should be rather easy to implement in code.

Don't over complicate it with booms. If 45 acres is the 100% mark, then percentage can always be based on that. I.E. 20% bonus in the column would equal 9 additional acres per turn.

Weedy gets it. That was my intent. The explore rate increases or at least reduces slower based on the percentage.

I know it's tied to total land now, but it would hopefully just check the percentage of the bonus as it goes down. In my head it is an easy equation and add, but might not be.

Increase explore land amount by a percentage. Ideally this is meant for any non-bot server but might be fine in other servers too. Haven't really thought this through other than the all x servers get boring half way through. Might give people more incentive to hit other players. Might not.

Hey Mark....

I often find that people don't quite understand what irony means.

Irony would be LaF being forced into a war based solely on changes made to the game to prevent them from getting into war.

I think maybe you are thinking hypocrisy.

I know you are new-ish, so I will forgive the ignorance. LaF has been the cause of multiple people leaving this game due to over farming, warring, etc over the years. A lot of small alliances and new players especially. It might seem like they are being picked on, but it's like you just walked in to the end of WW2 and were upset because everyone was teaming up on the poor Germans. "Can't we all just leave poor Third Reich alone"

I am not "griefing" them either. I have a lot of old alliance mates who play in LaF. I am not in the camp that they are ruining the game or paid QZ off (but it is fun to make jokes about it). The game has been dead due to a number of reasons. Most likely the largest reason is because everyone who plays it whines so damn much no one wants to deal with us or the game anymore.

All in all. It's pretty funny. All of it. LaF being the victim. QZ being blamed for catering to them. The once little guys now being accused of being the bullies. And Sweeds only being the 3rd best at this game.

I came back recently just to be a part of a new networth record. Playing this round, but my heart isn't really in it.

Kind of a long list over the past 27 years. Lots of breaks in between. I did like 10 years without a break, but then I was single for a few years and had to slay dragons.

Early days when Axis, RoCK, HAN, etc ran the roost.

LoF/OOA/Bullocks/SoC

Then it was the LaF, PDM, SoL, SoF, UCN, Arrow, Rage, MD & IX era. Golden Age.

FBI/Armada/IX/TIE/Rage/SoF/RD/PDM (promised Tisya) and maybe MD for a stint

New Age

LCN/LaF/TheBOMB

FFA I only played in LoC for a handful of rounds. Lots of work.

Perfect. LaF has the money to keep it alive then. If they buy enough Patron money to get self interest beneficial changes to the game implemented, they can for sure afford a mere $24 a month.

Thanks Gains for taking on this financial burden!

I second this. I'd say we could scrounge out another 5 years. Like today.

Also. Bonus.

Floyd shows up and they all come out to play.

Doug. I don't know you. Well at least. But this is gross. I get so mad at posts like this it makes me want to just hate kiss you. Then hate jerk you off.

I mean come on. Just stop it already. Be gay all you want, but stop with the happy.

I needs brooding.

Hello my friend. I just came back too ha.

IX reunion set. You heard it here first. I think I still have Mega and Someone's phone number somewhere. Ill get them and Xerg. You get scar.

Nvm. Too much work already. I retire again.

Wait. Why do you have a comma between your lol and lmao. You're fluffing dead to me.

I've never met this person before. I feel like I'm being personally attacked. All I want to do is play this game without prejudice from people like you. I bet you're even straight. Probably say "y'all" and wear a collared shirt. Let me guess, you have a steady job? Next thing you'll tell me you use to work in insurance or something, but then decided to get into programming. Now if you drink seltzers, i want reps. I've never felt so oppressed.

Great to see you back in the game, Rokkie!

I'll take my 100% Asian and shove it up your Caucasian.

I know we haven't spoken officially yet since "the return". But I do miss you. I have to find a way to chat that doesn't involve the disc. I shall ponder on this while I continue to pick fights with people I've never heard of or met.

Hey black butthole - I just came back. We don't know each other. I just get bored. Plus if I can say something about Gerd, I try to take that opportunity as often as I can. Never apologize to anyone in this game unless you're doing it to stab them in the back later. Some games you meet people and they are decent humans. This is not one of them. All of the trolls and queens of drama have gathered here in this game over the past 27 years to make it truly the last great fluff show. No one is safe. Have mental health issues? It gets exploited. Have life threatening diseases? You get targeted day one. Have never kissed a girl and live in Sweden? Then you get promoted to mod.

Some people have been plotting and planning so long, I don't think they even realize they do it anymore. It's truly great. The game is ok, but the medieval style GoT backstabbing that goes on this game is the true gem.

So, stay. Enjoy it. Plot your revenge. Hide in other names or tags or servers until its time. Then destroy with impunity and revel in the salty tears of your enemies. Just don't do it for hours on end. It takes like 3 min to play the actual game. Spend pockets of 5-10 min throughout the day on the rest. I'd say I spend a total of 15 min on this game every day. Most of the time less.

I hope I've encouraged you to stay. If not, I could try talking trash your loved female family members. Hate is just as good as love here.

This is the real question here. Thanks for bringing this critical issue up. This kind of discrimination is really uncalled for. This is just a game. No need to make it personal.

Coalie is the voice of the people!

Wow. Harsh words man. I'm 100% Asian and you treat me this poorly. Kind of messed up. I even said no offense.

I've heard that people who have to say they work really hard, usually don't work that hard though. Also, if you're spending a lot of time on this game then you might be doing it wrong.

No offense.

Kind of a long post. I skimmed it, but basically in summary:

"Hi. So sorry, like really sorry. Sorry. Gerd and I make out. I played the game for a blip and no one will remember me. I got beat and I'm leaving because it's too hard. I'm going to go wait for Google to accept my application in being their new CEO. They need me. I deserve it and no i wont accept anything less. Until then i wont work hard or try to earn anything in life"

So, what's it going to be? Be better.

Oh. Um no offense.

Kind of a weird post and code word for growing Marijuana....hippies

Elves!! Got dragged back too I see.

For some reason I remember a Maz.

And since no one else will answer your question.

There is a debate about when this game died. Some people think it was when mehul closed it. This being a replica of earth2025. However, I believe it died well before that. We may have had more players, but the ratio of bots and multies to real players is probably the same as it is now.

So when did it die.....When most of us became adults, found real jobs, had sex for the first time, the multitude of online games came out, or when readily available porn became available? Who knows really. But from the looks of this forum, it was LaF's fault whatever it was.

Previous Owner of Left, Hook, Your and Tit.
There are 10 kinds of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.

I said "know and like".....know coming from the biblical sense of copulation. So until you give it up, we are just acquaintances.

It would be an interesting dynamic in war times. If the changes go through and alliances dec war on each other or DNH on each other. Untags do 90% less damage. Why not? We can't anticipate how much a missile is going to be worth on a public market. Chances are a lot of people will net it out and missiles can be worth nothing. But if there are two alliances at war, then who cares about the acres lost or the chem snipe kill. It also makes warfare tech worth getting for netters if the missile market is booming. You can also have NPC's flood it at times. Also like Bug was saying, you can max the sell price if needed.

As an adverse to your example. You have a war alliance that has been pumping up for war all set to hit a netting alliance. Netting alliance is caught off guard and loses half their countries. They have a shot at getting back into the game if the missile market is healthy. Maybe their allies sell all of their missiles. Maybe they do restart with 5 low acre countries to help their bigger alliance members do more damage.

I don't know if it will work, but that is why I was thinking a test server.

The future missile idea, while good, sounds like a lot of programming to make work right.

This is more for after the changes are made in the alliance servers. Would bring a relatively unique option for netters in the clan servers. Also add a weird dynamic for buy/sell. Could spice it up. Maybe do it in whatever the Team server turns into.

Reference - this was in an early rendition of E2025. It didnt go over too well due to suiciders and the like and mehul never wanted to adapt. Just add or remove.

I mean....its like 20 vs 2. Or is it.

Not involving myself in this thread. However, this is the single greatest common sense statement I've seen on this forum in years.

Carry on.

haha I hope that wasnt you we killed....i didnt actually think ICD was the same as the FFA one.

the only guy I know and like over there....would be about right.



We will find someone to kill in your name then! How dare they!

We also dec on Soviet. For missing us. I am pretty sure that is what Galleri was referring to.

Also, we declare a one way FDP with Superfly. Not sure where he is at, but he's our guy and we will attack anyone to keep him safe.

Ok I got it all out i think.

If they ever open up the ability to hit your own tag, we will probably dec on FBI too. But until then, be afraid!

Also - taking applications. Especially from our enemies who are dying in droves.

Hello Team, My Old Friend

So.....I think we are declaring on ICD? Yes. In defense of our long standing ally....knn? Yes, KNN. The brother we've known forever.

Also, we declare war on KNN. For hitting weedylar.

Lastly, XxLoCxXx. For a lot of reasons. But mainly for the fact that he only has (2) x's in the beginning of his tag name and (3) x's in the end.

We like sex? Yes. We like sex.

P.S: Also we declare peace on xUISx (this is a one way peace only, so we do not accept their declaration of peace on us in any way).

I consider myself a decent human being. I love all races, sexes, species, etc. I will always listen to someone's opinion on the way the perceive things in the world should be. Even if I disagree, I have enough respect for another opinion to really read it. I even enjoy a good argument from time to time.

However, they say there are a few things in the world that should never be tolerated. Regardless of culture, country, society, etc. Universally wrong. Even little tribes in the middle of the Amazon rainforest know the difference.

Having said that, the drinking of Truly or any other seltzers should be added to this list. Do I think Truly is on par with that of incest? Ya. I freaking do. In fact, I would consider it worse because you then convince others its ok. You might think to yourself. That seems rather far fetched or brash of me to say. Here are all the things I can think of off hand that they have in common:

1. They both require YEARS of therapy after
2. Most likely result in the deformity of your children
3. Both excuses like "well it was all that was around" or "I didn't want to, but it did the job" seem to be common between them
4. Often connected with unstable households
5. Even a small taste or sip is super offensive
6. Though this may not be scientifically backed, I am pretty sure they both rot your teeth (having no teeth seems to be the end result at least)
7. There seems to be an emotional connection to them and can result in jealousy or anger at seeing someone else take "whats yours, i reckon"
8. Both really require a deep down loathing of ones self to accomplish

So you tell me. Join me in not allowing this to spread. I've already seen it taken over a few of our community here and I for one am disgusted.

I think it would be measured in DAYS

I am pretty sure they think that we measure success in kills or hits or how many times we can report them because they are being big meanies.

We measure success in humor, wasting their time, and being overall awesome. Now if they measure success in being overly obsessed with finding us (even if it means cheating), seeing a lot of digitized boobs, or the record for the longest time having their mothers cook dinner for them. Maybe its a tie?

So I guess thats it. We end in a tie. Or do we?

is it true that you are 100% French?

It's ok, we can still have those secret meetings about how we are going to trick laf (again).

Have you heard? It's true - King of current clan named "xSOLx"

While we are in our war against the true blue, always have been, Monsters and Evo players. Like the real long standing vets that have been there for YEARS. We seem to be getting attacked by some scrubs in two clans called "LaF" and "Mercs" (both are case sensitive from in game so you know who it is). Not sure what they are doing and don't really have the time to reach out to them directly.

Could you please help them? They seem to be doing a rather poor job killing off just a few players. It's hard to watch. Maybe a long standing alliance like SoF could show them the ropes?

You know where to find us.

Thanks,

Last Known Emperor of clan named "xSOLx"

one time this truly evil genius in FFA was out to get me and bought all of my $2000 stocked oil. He might tell you he did it on accident and maybe even warned everyone in the chat first, but I know the truth. I finished the game with over a trillion dollars and nothing to spend it on.

love SF or hate him, boy has style

Sup SF!

I don't see how this applies. Like, do you need confirmation?

Fine. Yes, Gains. That is what Req said. Well done.

Success in understanding goes to you (we probably share that view on success, but feel free to contradict). Failure, in my view, of trolling also goes to you.

And trust me Derrick, Req care level is pretty low. Everything he does and says has nothing to do with self gratification in any way. He measures self gratification, like a fool, outside of this game. While drinking Truly and wearing dresses no doubt.

Lastly (and yes he's my man and I back him always).....when you say "I think the way he feels about things only applies to himself" that is a well put together, irrelevant statement. I would say rarely is the case that it isn't true. If you want to call him a hypocrite, just do it. No need to present it in the following format (summarization of your post):

1. Pre-cursor to statement, include bitterness
2. Overly descriptive definition of statement
3. Empathetic stance on view of person, possible mixture of self view
4. Solidarity of (perceived) view of statement but clear line of distinction on emulation to own self view

I can post it better, feel free to use it.

"Hi Req. Big fan. You and I are the same in that I see us both as hypocrites. People are mean, right? I'm great though. I do it on purpose. You want to be me. AT is a crazy place. Ok bye now"

Success.

is anyone else offended by the assumption of only two genders?!

Failure? How so? We successfully helped Gerd be motivated enough to take risks, overcome adversity, and ultimately win the server. Not only did he win, but he also achieved a greater satisfaction. Because that's what it's all about. Look at what he has accomplished.
