assuming Maestro doesn't work the bar at the local Karaoke place and has his trusty laptop on the counter.

Meastro = greedy. He's war level 0 on all worlds, pays for no war protection and wants even more from the game. Right.

When I'm done... they'll remove war levels. Sooner hopefully more than later. Then Maestro will learn to play the game instead of crab off it.

No I'm looking at you.

You have war level zero on every world, two ceos on every world, and you make decent money. The only incentive and motivation for you to push for more spins on all worlds is you get paid more rollover in a day. Duuh Losing!

Now when I look at myself I see that I do many things you could but won't ever do.

I have paid for War protection on LU for at least 6-8 countries every single month for more than a year. You don't. Did the same on GR last year.

I buy weapons for random purposes. You don't. Even if you do, it is to make a dollar, not to defend anything.

See I make money, and I spend a lot of it and put it back into the game. You just crab, PERIOD.

I don't cry for cheaper war protection like you do, even though hands down, I have paid for more war protection than maybe any other player in this game, possibly ever. If not the most, the first player place couldn't be far away at this point.

You try manipulating different aspects of the game especially on the war side, but you don't fight war. So it is either for you, or whoever you are financing to fight. You ask for cheaper war protection because with all those countries and your big mouth, if war levels ever dropped, you'd sure need it.


Long story short, you make all income, and no expense, yet you want more? Greedy is an understatement.

Did you have any other questions?

Maestro,

Pertaining to your statement,
"War levels are good for the game. We just need more players....New players."

I, also, who have played the eco side of the game, disagree. War levels are stupid and prohibitive, especially on the war world. The ability to play a friendly economic game was put in place to those who didn't want to be bothered by war. So if you want no war, play peaceful. Simple as that.

This game in my opinion to sustain and offer full advantages needs to lift the war level restrictions. I think you will see that most players do not like the war levels in place. I have paid my share of WP over the years, and have never complained.

I like the 'federation' concept. You want protection, you want unification, you want to learn.... join a fed. If you don't want to fight, then just set up air defense to contribute and help your fed in boosting their economies. The war levels even make it impossible to be a decent fed in times of war.

I'm so sick of changes. Leave the time clocks alone in the various countries. Leave EVERYTHING alone. I have heard over and over of players being sick of pouring money into the game, and then change upon change screws everything up.

As far as new players, yes we do need new good players. Sadly, because of multi account abuse, it deters players from wanting to invest their time and energy in teaching new players. It's gotten to where every new player that comes into chat, you question.

I say this with all due respect.

If they removed wp then would that count for free players to or just ones that pay? I play for free and am part of a fed. If Wp is taken off I should be allowed to fight with my fed aganist other presidents what is the point if I am forced to sit on the sodelines and watch my fed lose if it comes to that . For people that pay the GC you get should be advantage enough.

On FB world, the war world they have unrestricted war. War Level 3 and above.

how does e1 sat at under war lvl 3 allow a war game to be played? regardless of the world.

more ppl = more sat at war lvl 0

Simple answer.. do away with war restriction and re introduce WP as it used to be.
Those that dont want war buy WP.

War lvls i have no problem with them, ppl can learn basic war.

Do a better job of talking to new players and they will join the ranks of war level 3 players on FB world and other worlds.

Send them the links for player simcountry websites.
Send them free advice on how to better their econ.
Send them advice on how to take a C3.
Send them advice on basic warfare.

Pointing a finger at me is a waste of time.

We are all here for our imagine time.

Start imagining a strategy to add 50 new war level 3 players every month on each world. Them implement the plan. You can do it.

And there you go, when you did it was keeping your GC stash at bay wasn't it? And then you screamed for cheaper War Protection. A self serving request. Which points us back at your request for more spins on ALL worlds.

If people loved more spins more people would go to LU. if LU filled up, you'd have a realistic expectation to speed another world to 6 months per day. Until then, a blanket move for all worlds is unwarranted when there are some people want to play slower.

Maestro, this game isn't just about you. You did a nice job of trying to make this look like an everyone issue. No duuh, people do like playing 6 months that is why LU is so popular. But if everyone liked it, that world would be at capacity, and the other worlds empty.

I fail to see why free's shouldn't be allowed to engage in PVP combat. The free countries already don't have nukes so we are behind the eight ball in that regard. There are more effective ways to ensure that free players aren't just flooding in to create war. Like having a mandortory active period (2-3 months realtime) before being able to declare war on another player this would ensure that the player would have at least somewhat a good understanding of the game and the politics that play into his or her world. A second option would be to give the SC some "teeth" and actually make them a threat to rouge countries.

I would change my mind, if this particularly kind of diversity isn't valued by others.

Seeing as faster worlds still have vacant countries, they either prefer the slow pace or don't value the higher pace of other worlds enough to move.



This is the indicator to follow and it says no.

Why didn't this continue in the previous thread?

More people than ever have, played this game when it was free to all, and there were no GCs and cash accounts.

There were no restrictions on war because nobody could go whining about the loss of their real world assets, when somebody took all there countries.

But noooo!?! W3C wanted more money?!?. So came GR and resets. People left, and people whined, and people made stupid polls. The participation in the game declined each and every time W3C tried to make a smaller and smaller active player base happy. The number of players registered may improve, but the number players actually engaging in the game has been in freefall for a long time.

W3C, needs to hire a consultant to help them come up with a profit model that actually works.

Also historically the number of spins, has depended on the speed of the server, If your good you don't need to log in every month to keep your country running.

And on a side note: In the olden days, everyone one of you would have been eliminated by the endless Whack-a-Tard game, that we played. Well except Parsifal(and Laguna who was posting while I was)..... However perhaps that game was a part of the problem.

Agreed with Hymy. This game is suppossed to be a sim in the real world in theory every country could attack every other one. So why is not every single country involved in perpetual warfare? because of economic concerns,and the threat of U.N. action. For this game to call itself "sim" it needs to incorparate these real world elements into gameplay. If you have money invested in the game and don't want to be invaded simply join a fed or appeal to the (hopefully) stronger SC. There are no artificial barriers to keep some players pride intact at the expense of the game as a whole.

I'm only talking about how this pretains to the war game. OF course thier are other unrealistic elements in this game due to the inclusion of the GC and cash market. So are you saying that the point of this game isn't to mimic real world countries in a Sim format? Hence the word theory that I used.

I thought the point of a game was to enjoy it, and to be successful at it if you're a competitive type of person.

Any other game I've ever played has a rule book or set of rules and those are what you play by. (excluding me making up rules on my little brother when we were about 10 :) ).

If there's an issue, highlight it, but otherwise keep your daft suggestions to a minimum. Careful what you ask for, you can all see the results of the much asked for but badly implemented war levels.
