Administrators Alex Posted September 10, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi guys! I wanted to post an announcement because things have been going really well lately. Since we launched on August 5th (remember we had 0 nations) our community has grown bigger and faster than I ever could have imagined! Before speed round we peaked at around 1,600 nations and ~850 logging in per week (I think 600-650 per day). Right now we're looking at almost 1,200 nations and 700 logging in per week and 500+/day! It's amazing that we've come this far in just 36 days or so. I wanted to remind everyone that if you haven't received your $50,000 nation bonus for having a forum account with at least 3 posts, that option is still available! Simply make a post in this thread. Development wise I've mostly been hammering out the few minor technical glitches with the game, and also working on some fancy new charts. My next major goal is to create another server for the game that will be a permanent speed round, with turns being every half an hour and nations starting with more money, etc. This server would automatically reset every 2 weeks or month or something, (some finite period of time) and awards would be handed out to the winners. I don't have an expected date for this yet, I haven't had time to start working on it yet. Lastly, I want to thank everyone for the donations they've made to the game. I know the $300,000 bonus for $15 USD isn't huge, but enough of you have donated that we're officially out of the red and into the black! Assuming things continue to go swimmingly I'll see about upgrading our servers and continuing to invest the money I get back into the game. I couldn't have done any of this without you guys, the players! And that's a perfect segway into the last thing I wanted to say, which is a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has played Politics & War! There wouldn't be a game without you guys. -Sheepy 1 Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Adama Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 What that guy said. Where would you be without us? 2 If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a roll. There is one you will follow. One who is the shining star, and he will lead you to beautiful places in the search of his own vanity. And when there is no more vanity to be found, he will leave you in darkness, as a fading memory of his own creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quelye Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It's about time you start to treat us as something other than cash cows, !@#$. Hasn't the game been out for like, a year now, and always been free to play? Also as far as I can tell there's just one advertisement at the bottom of each page of the game.
