    Gawd. Talking about never watching it. Regardless. You're probably right about the analogy.

    Never understood this need or want for a catch up mechanic, Why should someone who has played 300 days be the same size as someone who has played 1500 days?

    Oh did you not read the text that you quoted?

  3. I think baseball fills the "catch up" mechanic that every multiplayer game requires or it will die. New players need to be able to catch up to the players that have been around for 5 years, or there's really no reason for new players to play this game over another.

    That said, this mechanic is available to everyone, not just new players, and it's always been here.

    Most baseballers don't cap out, it's usually around 5 mil. If we could drop the max games to 200 games, and cap it at 5 mil, it would make it alot more accessible for everyone.

    Or have one game per turn, and have the winning split between both players evenly.

    Furthermore, now that we are looking at the data, it seems obvious that at least 3 nations have abused baseball using bots.

    In the 1,998 days the game has existed, these nations have each played around 1,000,000 games of baseball. That's, on average, ~500 games / day (a lot to do manually.) Realistically, they did not play 500 everyday, and must have had periods of playing more games at one time.

    But, these baseball teams haven't been around since the beginning of the game. The top revenue generating team (~$14.5 trillion in-game) has only been around for 947 days. That's averaging 1,040 games per day. Has someone really dedicated hours every day for the past 3 years to playing baseball?

    No, not a mistake, and yes, both can be true (Blighty and Who Me have generated enourmous amounts of money playing baseball and very likely ran bots. Also birdsonwheels5, although they got less money out of it. See my above post.)

    are the red strike throughs the ones that got banned for botting?

    Well, in my opinion, this seems to be more of a political issue than anything. Some alliances rely on baseball to be competitive, and some don't, and I think this data shows how impactful baseball can be on gameplay.

    3 alliances (NPO, GPWC, GOONS) have generated ~$24 trillion in-game currency. For reference, there is currently only ~$650 billion in-game. To be clear, those 3 alliances have generated an amount of money that is 37x the total amount of money currently in the game.

    you mean 24 billion. That graph shows billions.

    Actually, I did. NPO blitzed their own allies plenty of times this war, directly attacked their allies in T$, you broke your NAP with TLE and with TI. That's four right there.

    There's more than even that, so yes, you're constant pactbreakers.

    uh no, we did not break our NAP with TLE. They blitzed us.

    NPO broke a hell of a lot more than that on multiple occasions, slotting and beiging their own allies this war alone. You're also neglecting the fact that Goons attacked TLE, not the other way around, TI never actually broke their pact which means that you actively did, undercutting your point entirely. I'm not familiar with the specifics regarding #1 or #3 so I'll not comment on those, but there's zero way around the fact that NPO, Goons and BK 100% violated their active alliance with T$.

    Thus, I'd say that pacts no longer have validity. Anyone is free game for anyone else, since that is the environment IQ has deliberately created with their bad faith agreements with basically everyone. It's entirely on you that we're at this point.

    and you literally can't name three times they've broken NAPs

    I really don't see any point in you trying to make any promises at this juncture, they mean less than nothing. I have every confidence that you will violate any or all NAPs for no reason, as you and yours have done, constantly.

    name three
