Administrators Alex Posted February 1, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 1, 2016 Alright folks, it's pretty damn close to February 1st, and as far as I'm concerned, the month of January is over! So, what does that mean? No more Trump ads! Also, no more ads promoting any Presidential candidate, at least until the election is over. Donation caps have been reset, which means you can give me all of your money redeem up to 8 additional credits this month! Also of note, we're working on expanding the game and increasing our playerbase. You've probably saw the Outreach Program announcement, but we're looking for dedicated individuals who can help us target other communities and groups of players and get them to start playing Politics & War. In line with this, I've updated the Referrals page, and want to remind you again that you'll get $1,500,000 and 50 steel, aluminum, gasoline, and munitions once they've played for two weeks and have reached at least 30 score. Just think -- if you could get 10 people to start playing, that's $15,000,000 and 500 of each manufactured resource for your nation. Incentives! Thanks for an excellent January everyone, and forward we move towards a greater February! 5 Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Moon Man Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 would be easier to recruit new players if I could play with my friends without fear of being flagged for playing at college on occasion or playing on each other's wifi once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiadon Clevae Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You won't be flagged unless you are trading/banking/warring with those same nations. That's part of the problem though isn't it? If we invite people we know, we'll want to be able to help them build their nations faster, to take advantage of our own nation's success. Though if you happen to have ever shared a network, that takes the fun out of that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if you happen to have ever shared a network, that takes the fun out of that... Thank you for this post. I was going to complain that I can't get the referral bonus because I don't have so many friends that I can afford to alienate them by inviting them to online games. But if that means less risk of my nation going poof, maybe that's a good thing. If my nation ever does go poof for "multi-playing" when I know maybe 5 people in my entire neighborhood besides me (and I know DARN well my mom isn't playing), it won't be coming back, you can be sure of that.

If you want to hang with them, just invite them to your alliance, who will also be able to help build them up.

Mike Haggar Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I expect the rest of you ad buyers to up your game or you can expect me not to remember them. Admittedly, the funny Trump/BK rivalry was the only reason I even looked at any of the other ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Alex Posted February 1, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted February 1, 2016 I would think that you were making some ca$h off of Princess Bubblegum's advertisements. I don't think Princess Bubblegum ever actually purchased any credits directly with real currency, but buying them on the market certainly drives up demand and encourages other people to purchase and sell them. 1 Is there a bug?
