I had a COA guy with no planes in front of me. I feel like pres just stole my dinner. I took yesterday morning off work for this. If I knew it would be pointless I would have saved the leave for something good.

I predict that food will get extremely cheap going forward as Village will give Alex access to the important buttons. Alex will 'accidentally' spawn billions of food into the game and cause the price to crash.

UPN will always be allied to TCW. Even when TCW stops existing and merges with Fark, UPN will still be allied to TCW.

Unfortunately Hilbilly mistook him for a passenger pigeon and shot him.

We must discuss this technology on the weekly grumpy msn messenger call to see if we may finally retire the IRC. I can't imagine it's much better but everyone must keep their minds open.

Why is there no scope for new player-submitted categories? I feel (as part of) the current academy could handle them.

What we clearly need is a public service broadcaster, with one leaker from each of the major spheres.

To be completely honest if there is an alliance which expects news servers, radio shows and forum randos not to jump on every single leak that they can, they need to get their heads examined. You're not entitled to not have your opsec spread around the game, once it's out it's out and you no longer own it. Only people a leaky alliance has to blame is themselves.

And people wonder why we have a pensions crisis?

Literally all alliances that rise from pure micro-ness, get onto page 3 or 4 and try to do FA then?

I recognise that this isn't a particularly realistic game, but it has always struck me as a particularly easy change to make it slightly more so that could be introduced. It is significantly easier for Chile to fight Bolivia than it is for them to fight Austria for example.

Haven't you just spent a long while in a small alliance which did pretty much nothing for its entire existence despite having a bunch of well known players?

Sadly it can also lead to people leaving the game. I've seen that in a few micros I've been in, especially ones which initially seem to have a bit of momentum and then just fail to get over the hump as it were. There's no more toxic environment than a micro in its dying days, because that's when the blame starts to get handed out and tired and angry people say things they later live to regret. I know I've been on both the giving and receiving end of this during my time in micro politics, which is partially why you've got me forever because I'm not doing that one again. Three times is enough.

It would likely have a role in less urgent FA matters, right? It'd give me an outlet every time I have a new and wonderful FA idea whose brilliance isn't recognised by the leadership of the alliance I'm in at the time.
