fwiw, the opening shots were meant in the terminology of liquor shots...we'll be raising our glasses to honor the lost and the survivors in France. o/ Fark o/ Rose o/ Bacon o/ Booze o/ France

The idea of alliance benefits (i.e. controls) is good...as is the idea of giving a percentage income bonus. As nations grow the value of $1,000,000 becomes almost inconsequential. However the idea of resetting the city / project timer is too overpowered in my opinion, and genuinely moves to a pay-to-win model.

This may be a game mechanic, but it seems counter-intuitive. If Beige is a time for a nation to rebuild, I can understand allowing passive espionage (gather intel), but why would attack espionage (kill spies / military be allowed)??? If it isn't...then it is a bug as this happened on the test server today... I've been on beige since last night, so all 4 of these were run against my test nation under beige 'protection'. If it is by design, I'd contend that at the least espionage should be limited to gather intel while a nation is being allowed to rebuild.

I agree...ideally it could have the following options: 1) Receive an e-mail with each message 2) Receive a digest once per turn 3) Receive a digest once per day 4) Receive a digest once per week 5) Don't receive e-mails

The city list screen is fine, but when you click into a specific city, it would be great if there was an arrow to go to the next city without exiting and going to the list again. Something like this...

Umm...content anyone? Fark thread titles include: Musty Poptart's Boob Emporium (NSFW) Glorious Camel Toe (NSFW) Farkistan Bargain Booty Basement (NSFW) Wheeling's Next Top Call Girl Just Bacon Tell Us About Your First-World Problems.... ...and yeah somewhere on the forums we have game-related threads... **edited to remove links...I don't want to get myself banned around these parts.

How do you say /Facepalm in Pirate?

It is automated from the policies as discussed above, and Sheepy has stated that it is designed to be irrelevant to revenue calculations. As tax rates go up, income goes down to make the calculation constant.

This...with just 8 cities I run a significant negative run on a few resources. It will be a while, but at some point 99,999 won't be a large enough stock to withstand a war effort which may/may not involve blockades. This should be fixed before it becomes a significant problem. Also, for those nations (not me) that are playing the trade market for profit the artificial limit of 99,999 would be a problem for them as well.

Interesting...and as with just about any other event, as a good Farker... I'll drink to that!!

First...the latin translates (approximately) to "It is sweet and glorious to die for one's country." As for the rules of international war, etc I'm not sure how well established and/or standardized those are. Best bet if the guy joined an alliance is to peace out. If the other alliance then threatens to attack, they would be an aggressor, and if I were you I would hope you and your alliance have friends and treaties that will discourage such action. Standardizing rules of engagement, etc would be a 'pipe dream'. There is little agreement on the virtues of raiding in the first place, then you get into the definition of an alliance, and at the end of the discussion very few points would get universal agreement. Good luck.

Yeah, this would be a good feature to have...

Mad? Let's see... We corner the market on booze, boobs & bacon... We don't take much seriously... No anger here... Back to my popcorn and watching you (Marcus, Christopher, whoever you are next) make an ASS out of yourself.

I think he got rejected from InGen without being accepted...they at least get credit for smelling his shit from a distance.

Land currently lowers pop density and (if you have waste improvement slots on food, you get more food)...correct? I would argue that the impact of land on farms could be enhanced (maybe change the multiplier slightly??)...also crossing over a certain amount of land should release space for additional mines / farms / military improvements. While this wouldn't directly impact score, it would create more strategy. Maybe something where every 2K land would release +1 more of each type of these improvements. Otherwise there comes a point where your build becomes pre-determined by the limitations of each improvement type. While this wouldn't directly impact score, the increased possibility of raw resources / military could have an indirect impact on score and growth.

...and give this jackass the pleasure of having actually accomplished something. Normally I'd say any DoW is a good DoW as war is good. However in this case, just no.

Not even worth popcorn this time.... FAIL

He's applied to Arrgh! now...should we just merge this thread with the Jefferson Davis III one? Or keep both for additional entertainment value??? ...going to pop more popcorn...it will be needed tonight I think.

Hmmm...not sure where to put myself. I generally have conservative values, but I believe the government should stay the hell out of most religious social issues completely. I'm a far right fiscal capitalist...but when it comes to social issues I'd generally prefer to have issues not be mandated by government, and allow churches and local governments to govern themselves in these areas. So somewhere between a Libertarian and an Anarchist I guess?

Ummmm...where'd the damn popcorn go? This thread delivers. Seriously though: Left UPN to go it alone No official protectorate??? Surprised by raids How do those windows taste on the short bus???

Meh...I would raid that...unfortunately the defensive slots are all full.

Christopher, I'd give you decent advice and tell you to shut your pie-hole...but this thread is comical. Please...continue!!!!

Umm...to celebrate such an event isn't there usually a cocktail party? Escorts? Beer? Etc. lol...seriously though congrats to all involved. /Heads back to the bar.

If all you seek is Bacon, Boobs and Beer then we'd be a great fit. If your ideas would interfere with the consumption of any of those three, then you'd not like how we operate.

Beers and cheers!
