Careful, Romeo.
Muldoon was rather quick to see you.
I'm certain there are others equally perspicacious.
Again, as if the sunrise were a surprise, you don't see what is evident and you don't hesitate to deviate the subject to your opponent's character and insult him in the way.
Can't you speak in anyother manner?
And are you crying about me? Again!? What I am doing to you is the same you do all others, but a lighter, gentler way. Even in this tune, you cannot endure what I say.
I'm quite certain that Dollard's explanation for aggression is in serious disuse, as it fails to explain many situations of aggression. If you are unaware, he explains aggression as the expression of frustration.
I am being... well, what you are to others... not because of frustration, quite far from it, but because... read the post above.
I too remember Muldoon. She spread more life around

Thanks for your more constructive mail although not everything you say is clear to me. Might be my English.
On Maldoon and more than that we will differ. I tried to answer her and nothing helped. She was able to confuse much faster than any of us could set straight.
I have seen much better players leave for all the wrong reasons and they could play.
Some returned.
I don't think it is bad if people leave. After some time, many are not interested in the game anymore but just in attention and for that, you have to kick dirt.
I will stay. Sometimes my job is too demanding. Sometimes I have lots of free time.
You for one were very constructive once. In the past months however, when I looked, you were not.
Fed up maybe and just joining the noises and unreasonable clatter.
This is where communication broke. Not blaming you alone. These Simcountry guys are now gone from the forum and we lost any possibil

Lots of empty phrases and emotions instead of rational arguments everywhere.
Romeo Vicardi = Ginger? one of the first of the so called credit card warriors? Romeo Vicardi, Sliver - the fist SC terrorist fought back in 2004?
I agree that restricting many because of (actions of) few is giving up to the dictate of minority, while democracy is the exact opposite. It's also clear to me that such measures are often taken because those who use them are not able to come up with anything else, and/or are unwilling/unable to solve the issues minorities have.
Few blow up themselves, because this and that, so we will do anal search to everyone to prevent those few from smuggling explosives in their ass. Great!

In the short time I've been here (1 year) I've seen some measurable improvements with accessing the parts of the game and the way the war engine works. I'm sure that without pressure from players these changes might not have been thought of or implemented as quick as they were, but I seen no point in bad mouthing the game in public. Criticize it and voice new ideas. But don't bad mouth it.
117000. I think thats Romeo's war ranking? If it is it looks like he's been making some money

Any change can be called improvement. Measurable is matter of point of view.
Would you mind to give examples nix001? Which feature or improvement in particular made the game more fun for you in the past year. Which feature of improvement to the game you believe could have positive influence on making current players happier or/and gaining new players?
The bottom line, to me, based on my observations as I do not have any data, is the game stagnates or grows very slowly at best.
How is that evolution of a game I do not understand. Any game, any business should have prime goal to grow. This is not to be questioned.
One can have the best game in the world, the most sophisticated, refined, efficient, innovative, insert superlative of choice, business, but if it does not have customers, in this case players, it's good for nothing.
Bad mouthing does not help anything I agree, but so do not help empty phrases of a

eh if your rank is less than 100 i hope its because u just started or that you claimed a gc prize and are thus not ranked properly or have the wrong country as leader...but i dont think ranking means much other than you have relative high welfare related indexes like EI HI TI etc etc
why do good threads get side tracked into a personal beef between guys anyway im not even bothering to read all that

Excellent.
You have all observed that I am very low in the ranks. If I am not mistaken, I have put my rank here for everyone to see, last night.
We will talk again in a while. Obviously, I was not very active.
As to improvements, I have seen many, including a whole new war game and you may want to look at the 100 to 150 pages of game news, partly cleaned up and see what exactly happened.
But all this is not helping us.
we need to take the issues one for one, without bad language and without pretending we own it, and present these points to W3C.
I hope they will answer the two questions from yesterday.

3. Wars against C3 Countries [ top ]
The number of wars a country could start against countries with no president used to be unlimited. This was recently misused by some players who tried to be destructive. The number was reduced to 2 wars per country and the problems was solved.
Several players now requested the number to be increased. Two is very limiting while even a larger number will not allow for any destructive action. We have now increased the number to 5. This is sufficient for now. These wars are short and thus end quickly and new ones can be started.

I am sorry to hear you had a health problem.
I hope that this is not getting to you.
It remains a game and we should enjoy and not stress about it.
get it out of your system. punishing them, you are punishing yourself too. if you think they are stupid, this is no reason to get upset. Its a game and I think you do hope for the best.
What W3C is doing or not, they will decide. I would like to see some problems solved and we have some.
I did get an answer from Tom on the contracts. he said that he already promised to look into it. He did and it seems that there is a problem.
They want to finish something on the home page next week and he said this will be one of the first things they will fix after that.
FarmerBob had an angry message to me where he listed some limitations. I don't really know why he waved them in my face but there are valid issues in that message.

Till today I cannot figure where the game is going, whats the goal of the developers.
If anything is to be accomplished, be it in business, personal life or any other activity, goal is set first, then means of achieving it determined.
Since the goal does not seem to me to be pleasing players, nor its to grow and prosper, I am left with nothing else but to come up with hypothesis of the weird kind that this project is a personal "toy" to someone.
