Most of us old!@#$s have been hanging around our forum for four or five years waiting for another game to come along. I'd also like to clarify that not all of Mensa are from the USA. I'm Irish, living in Brazil.

Agreed, the issue was not an alliance one, but purely a mechanical one its effect on player retention.

Of course you could kill me because my entire military has been destroyed. Every time I try to rebuild it, it gets destroyed instantly, so what's the point? My alliance are good guys, and they are my friends, I'm not going to leave them for an alliance full of people I don't know.

I'm in a top ten alliance with several of my friends, but it isn't enough. We're being attacked by people with pure military builds, who are just using their dad's credit card to buy in-game money.

I'm currently being pummeled into the ground for absolutely no reason, and I've already lost about a month of work on my nation and I expect my nation will be reduced to zero before they give up. What's the point? It seems impossible to actually get anywhere in this game when I am consistently being hit. I imagine others feel the same way and just give up. Perhaps if the war system were limited in some way, it might lead to better player retention. Here are some ideas for fixing it. Not all of them need to be implemented. - War does less damage, simple enough. - Wars last for a shorter time. Perhaps a shorter time limit on how long one nation can attack a defenceless one. - Longer beige periods for rebuilding. - A longer time period between wars before a nation can re-attack. Any other suggestions? I'm just getting tired of having to rebuild and never actually being able to shape my nation into the utopia I want it to be.

Greetings PiZ, from an old friend!

OOC: I had a very turbulent history in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) and would be a familiar name to most who played c.2007.

Excellent! We are glad you arrived.

BREAKING NEWS: After much deliberation, the people of Kringam have deemed that an autocratic style government is more suitable for our nation in these early stages.

Oh wow, this is a new which I haven't heard in a long time. It has been a long and silent winter for us in Kringam, and it's wonderful to see that some of the Old World still remains.

My full title is Judge Andrassy and I have ascended to leader of a new nation, a new beginning. Unfortunately due to local circumstances we have been cut off by an oppressive government and no freedom of information. It is our intention to bring peace and prosperity to our people. We would like to greet our fellow nations as a gesture of peace, and ask that those around us extend a helping hand in these times of need. OOC: I'm brand new to this game, but I've played Nationstates, Cybernations, and eRepublik, each for at least a few years and I in fact recognise many names that I have seen on this forum. Some of you are even old friends. So, how do I play this game?
