Join Us in Encouraging Andy to be more active and Improve the game.

Show you support with the others in boycotting andy nation on LU to force him to be more active and improve the game. You can do this by going under trades and voting to boycott him.

You don't really need to boycott Andy to "force him to be more active and improve the game" He already works to improve the game. If you, like me+probably many more think he and the other dev's are focusing on the wrong areas of the game, tell him in the suggestions and see if it gets traction from the community. I think he will listen to that more than this protest.

On the activity front, do you mean active on the forums? or active in improving the game? (Both I suppose) either way again, the suggestions forum and voting.

Umm, yes...boycotting the people who run the game is not really helpful.

Think about it... every time you make a purchase, sell an item, input a figure...all of that is being processed by the game. This stuff doesn't just go into a black box. It's real people who run it. If Andy's country is not really being maintained very actively, that effect on the total game is of no real significance.

But Jay, I love Andy. I don't want to hurt his feelings.

lol i guess someone deleted my previous comment. but anyway. the stuff is managed by coding which i understand is admin work. however the guides are outdated several new gamers told me they dont understand how to play because of it. We have older members now leaving the game because of problems. The game is decreasing in membership and activity do to related issues. Eventually theres only going to be 100 people playing the game. and i remember when SC was always active. Also im not intending to hurt andy's feelings. but doing whatever i can to get him to improve the game in the right areas. My next step is dowing his nation has 54 trillion. his nation is doing great.

well all this being said I hope hes working on the game, im not sure if you guys do but I spend money on the game I like it. its my kinda game. mostly on nukes lol but I ve heard they don't do the full potential of destruction in the game but yes from time to time I throw in 30 or so bucks just to show some appreciation on atleast maintaining the game ive been hearing a lot about old players leaving , not sure of the cause, and yes maybe they are cause of the bugs, ive seen some myself, and for the new players well a lot of people join thinking they going to be a 'world power' in a week..... yeahhhh no! don't think so this game is on going, takes awhile and if you don't know a clue about it prolly never gonna get it unless you ask someone,, also I think that when u get to the point of a stable country all there is to do is bring in money and wait for a cocky newbie to attack.... on KB maybe that's why they take a break its pretty

SC Should have more people.... there are similar games however much worse then SC that have thousands of players though I'm not sure what would happen if there were thousands of SC players i feel like it would break the game..... we need to invade these sites and advertise all we can to attract new players ourselves since the Gm isn't going to do it

Regarding Nukes: They aren't the absolute end of a war if they are dropped (we couldn't make them so strong because they would be used to simply end things regardless of other military forces), but they do a lot of damage. A single nuke can destroy the capital city, result in hundreds of thousands of deaths and reduce the war index very significantly. It also leaves a major disaster after the war which is highly expensive to fix, continues damaging the population, affects bordering counties and really leaves a big mess.

In a war a while back, I was hit by several nukes. It was what really did the most damage.

yeah i lost a war because i got nuked about 5 times and then got painted when i wasn't paying attention

Well as far as nukes you either love them or hate them as for myself I build them. Jay you sound like a good guy do you play on Fb?

Nukes dont do any of that that craigwilliamson described anymore. Nukes will only kill around 30-40,000 in a city population with 1 million. I used 5 nukes recently, on KB. And there was no disaster, no effect on bordering countries, hell there wasnt even a newspaper article for it, if it wasnt the final move people would have no idea.. And i noticed they reduce the index no faster than regular weapons. I believe the power of nukes has been seriously way to downplayed. I even made a previous forum post about it.

Well, it does of course depend upon which type of nuke. Tactical nuclear weapons for example, do not cause a disaster. But, not that long ago...maybe 6 months real time, I lost about a million in total. I was hit by several strategic bombers I think.

But, my counter attack (in which I was able to hit with several nuclear sub missiles) did not cause a fallout.

I used one of each kind in my most recent exercise. Tactical, regular, sub, and strategic bomber. I did this solely to test that theory. And there was no fallout or disaster or anything except the initial causalities and damage from the strike. And my main countries are right next to the one i nuked. Its very disappointing. Seems like Nukes serve no purpose but as bragging rights and to intimidate players that dont know any better.

Nah, I'd prefer him to be fixing problems and improving the game than playing it.

The quality of the nuke also matters.

Very true Smokes

Indeed.

What quality causes a disaster then? The nukes i used all had a Q over 270.

You must not be doing it right. All indications are that stategic bombers still cause a fallout. It could be that the target had nuclear missile batteries.

i like your spirit Jay Booker. keep up the fine work. if you really want to know what happened to many of the vet players i can only say that the game transformed into something they didn't want. war players faced high cost of weapons and road blocks at each corner. econ players suffered major hits and were pretty much forced out. i can't blame them for an exit of the game. i do blame gamemaster for the stupid changes. my advise to gamemaster is open the game back up and allow us to have fun. drop war levels to 3 for protection and get rid of rest. also return coin trade like it was with the auction style.

And ADD PINK TANKS!!!! Shoe and Handbag Corporations!!! Hint! Hint :P

Now in defense of my adorable and brilliant adopted child, Andrew. He programs and develops the game as he is instructed to do. You can't blame HIM for changes you don't like. I am a strong advocate for Simcountry past, but we are in a new era of the game. The game is still a great one, and I believe the GMs are trying to make it fair and equitable for all players, whether new or long-time veteran players.

As for veteran players leaving, they are STILL here in some shape or form. Also, Andy was in Sim Chat for many hours the other day, I'm glad I had him ALL to myself!!!! :P

Support your game chat and forum! Speak up, be seen, be active.

Yours truly!

I did everything right, the bombs hit and caused NO fallout. Once again during the war exercise i successfully used Tactical, regular, sub, and strategic bomb, and NONE caused fallout. Perhaps its cause Im on KB.

Prezzy, forget nukes. Try shoes! I've brought down entire empires just with shoes!!!

Still sucking up to the boss shame full

Lol...
