Seems like a nice change to me, will increase security at little cost. I myself and I'm sure others don't want somebody sniffing my internet connections and using it to access my account, encrypting connections to the site will stop hackers from getting into peoples accounts. Can I make the suggestion you test things before adding them? I'm sure the links not working here has gone and effected quite a few people. Just make everything work and then add it...rather then adding something like this without fixing the other problems beforehand. Great addition otherwise, but I was just concerned about the problems with links. Not sure if we want a repeat of that, do we not?

I've never played Bloc, but when you're just stacking up on technology like (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways), it doesn't add strategy, it's just boring. (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways), fun as it was is just "Stack technology, war, stack technology", if technology like (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) is added, the game will just end up like it. PW is already close enough to (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) as it is, I don't think making it even closer would be a good idea what so ever. Firstly, it'd get boring and it'd be the same thing as (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways), secondly, people don't want to play a game that looks like a close. Adding tech would most certainly make it look like that, we don't want another (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways)...we want a new game with new mechanics. As for strategy, I agree with Sheepy. There is a lot of strategy involved as it is. For example "Do I go for nukes or missiles" or "Tanks or planes". Besides, the real strategy is planning the wars out with the alliance, if you want that, go and join an alliance and help them in their war department. Plan blitzes and regiments and attacking, rather then !@#$ing about it on here. I do certainly think the war system here could do with some serious improvement, but making it a complete clone of (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) with technology isn't going to help us or be good. It's just going to be boring old (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) over again. Stacking technology and then warring, then so on. All I'm going to say here, is that if you want a game like this, go and play (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways). Because that's what you're asking for and it isn't going to happen. If you want strategy, join an alliance and their military departments. Seems better to me then !@#$ing on here, does it not?

Doing it on your forums works better.

That would be utterly obnoxious and far to over the top for a text based video game. It's not like PW is a government site or something.

All this will means s that if the game is around a few years from now, bigger nations will end up with stupid amount of cities, resulting in them growing to silly size. Yep no, your suggestion will just make all nations larger, larger nations will be even larger, gaining the opposite effect from what you want here. In the long term, city costs will hit 0 at some point, which will brake the game. I concur there. It's the same with some of the people on here who !@#$ about being raided, if they want to avoid being raided, they should join an alliance.

Better question, who are you? D:

Am I the only one thinking a guy named after Marx reading Ayn Rand is quite amusing?

Jodo be a haxor? That's one naughty kitty.

I am reading this thread, if you want to know what I'm reading right now.

I'm not sure why this is really needed to be honest, search in "Death" or "The Reaper" and your avatar is one of the first things that comes up.

Define "We" here. Because if EVERYBODY worked to ensure that everybody else was happy and to help them, the world would be a utopia. No poverty, no war, no crime, they would be things of the past. But sadly for us, utopia is a dream, which I doubt will ever be achieved. I imagine the world will always be awful, it's just human nature to be as we are.

This thread makes me wonder if HIL stands for "Highly Incompetent Leadership". But seriously, make an actual effort in organizing yourself and playing the game HIL, my god...

The markets certainly are not.

You're certainly acting like a 5 year old if anything, by rage quiting.

Nazism is a form of fascism, merged with racism and anti Semitism. They are different things, but they still are similar in many ways. You're going to get crap for that here, as a large majority of the game is of the left.

A lot of leaders where bad people so to say and you could come up with arguments against allowing most leaders. But as Nazism is seen as particularly offensive, it's not allowed, which I can see why.

I personally support nationalism in the sense of patriotism, which I consider good. The nation you live in has effectively kept you alive and for that I believe it needs respect. What I do not agree with, is when it goes into Nazism, where you wish to exterminate the population of other countries due to a culture difference between your nation/people and there. Nationalism up to that level, where you're expressing hatred for people who are not your culture, simply leads into violence and genocide in my mind. But yes...you're going to do " very well indeed" here, looking at the mods and the community. Such ideas are generally disliked here and I'd suggest keeping your head down about them, if you have them...but that's a bit late now, is it not? To be honest, I'm surprised your nation name is even allowed, looking at the rules here. But I think we shall avoid derailing this thread into moderator discussion, shall we not?

Good this got sorted here. Piece of advice here, learn the ropes before attempting anything like this.

I imagine that prices will routinely drop due to supply and demand.So soon I imagine it'll start rising again. Of course, as Despartainian pointed out, war will also increase the prices greatly as well.

Rule 37.

Have both, have the power made from power plants be increased by maybe 50%, as Toxxikation stated. Also have it transfer excess power into new cities. Only problem where would be coding it, as I imagine something that transfers excess power would be incredibly hard to do, without just recoding the entire game. Which will obviously not happen.

Seems like a good idea to me. To avoid abusers, Sheepy just needs to check all peace outs, to see if people are abusing. There's not going to be many and abuse will be fairly obvious. As a result, it seems like a good idea to me.

Maybe if you want to be a good alliance, maybe you should discuss this in private, rather then having a hissy 14 year old fit on the forums and looking like complete tools. I'm going to suggest that you sit back and wait a bit, until you have some more experience of how these games work and probably some more life experience as well. Then you can try playing the game as leader, otherwise, things ain't going to end nice, like you've already seen this week. You simply ain't going to become skilled in the game overnight, try playing as a normal member in an alliance and get some skill and experience...before jumping straight to leader. Also, show some more emotional self control and don't have fits on the forums, use your head and not your heart and you should do better then you're currently doing now. But, if you carry on, you're just going to look like more and more of a fool and your chances of doing well in game are going to diminish fast. Chill and calm down or things will get worse.

Forcing anything on anybody is just going to get the opposite effect from what we want and dissuade from it. Forcing me to do something would just make me dislike that thing as a whole. So don't force politics on noobs, it's a bad idea. Politics will come anyway, politics is created by active non neutral players and alliances. If we get them active, we'll get politics alongside it. So not only is forcing it a bad idea, it's also a useless idea as well. Another idea would be getting them on IRC, as most alliances use it and we can direct them from there. Rather then by in game messaging or the forums here, which simply are not as effective. Have we got any alliances in mind though? I can't see many myself that would be good choices, as we want somebody that has an alliance that isn't a complete tool and alliance is active to some extent. And by tool I don't mean somebody who is clueless, as that would defeat the point. I'm referring to people who are just awful at the game as a whole. As we really don't want lots of them running alliances. Do we not?

Yourself? Everybody? Why exactly?
