PS - Did you do any programming on the Intellivision?
Sorry to say this, as I am sure it will give a lot of negative feedback, but the tagging thing was a programming error that should have been fixed and the game is still paying for it. It gives resources for no effort, created an area where there are issues because of unsupportable trading, and created a situation where players use many times the amount of resources on a single adventure than was anticipated, for less reward. It should not be that complex of a system - if you kill 3x as many people, you should get 3x the loot. Patching up the broken concept has just led to more problems, but there is too much inertia to stop it without upsetting people.Quote:

My only complaint on them is I think the loot is a little lacking in regards to the losses taken.Quote:

Historically, shunning is an effective form of social control. Hopefully, it never needs to be taken that far, but the adage about not feeding trolls is commonly ignored, and people are permitted to disrupt the social network of the game. As leaders, the CL's can only do so much. We are not moderators, but do attempt to help players when there are problems. But our solutions should be to find ways for people to continue to play, rather than have players removed.Quote:

lol still no answer to my questions on page 5 and 7, so ask again.
#1 If you where to visit a foreign country which one would you want to visit, and why?
#2 if they add PVP to the game how would you want it to be, raiding other people's islands or and adventure type map where you could fight random people and have something like last army standing or capture the flag?
what womans shoes do you like to where for a night on the town?
do you and the other CL's chat on skype about who is the biggest brony?
Every so often I toy with the idea of politics, but recall that I am not good at it. It takes a level of compromise for which I am not always prepared. It also puts you in the position, when you try to be honest at the job, of doing what you think is ultimately best for your constituents, even though it may be what they want at the moment.
I really enjoy this game as I can play at my own pace. It is addicting. what is your favorite aspect of the game? What are you looking forward to?
who is you favorite backstreet boy?
From my experience, being sure is not an option that I get many times. In my professional work, you don't have the luxury about being sure about most things, and have to make due with good enough right now. One aphorism that we commonly look to is 'better is the enemy of good'. Given time and more information, it may be possible to come up with better answers / solutions. However, things can't always wait for the best answer, and no answer is rarely the best one.Quote:

The CL's tend to work together to find solutions to game problems, which is what our discussions mostly focus on. With our current group, we have a large amount of game experience and experience helping people in the game, and keeping communication allows us to share that experience between us, to the benefit of whomever we are helping. While there is social chat at times, needed as a lubricant, it is exceedingly rare for players to be topics of conversation.Quote:

The Major General allows larger attacks (270 men), which will ultimately save resources; there is no real replacement that will do the same feature. The quartermaster general acts as transport, and can be replaced with enough other generals or with time. I would go with the Major first, as that would fit with my playing style, as an additional 30-60 minute of transporting people is not a significant game changer for me.Quote:

I have been playing on Ares for about 15 months or so, and have reached level 50 for that character. I have been playing test for the last half a year. I only started on Zeus when starting as a CL a couple of months ago.Quote:

I have been doing a lot of Surprise Attacks, as they are obtainable with map fragments and give a good return for the troop loss. I like the complex blocks on it as well, as it brings it a higher level than the simple attacks. It is long enough to use a good number of people but short enough to finish in a reasonable amount of time.Quote:
