This is an issue

I think Minus means exactly what he says.  Frightening eh?

Alliances prevent resets, and why should you "punish" the inevitable reset winner when the apparent "losers" start to log upon realizing their pending defeat.  IMHO, it would do more to stimulate gameplay if you were encouraged to fight to the bitter bloody end...perhaps a perk point multiplier based upon the current population difference between your country and the country of your kill.  This should encourage players from countries on the brink of reset to stick it out.

Another benefit would be that it would encourage members of the chronically overpopulated country to move so that they will not suffer constant a perk point disadvantage.  If they fail to even the numbers, it would only be a short matter of time until the find themselves attacked by an increasing number of perk planes, and reduced access to perk planes of their own.

Nucks, of course that assumes that people give a rats butt about perk points to begin with......


I don't, I suspect there may be quite a few that don't either....

I'm sure many don't, but I'm just as sure that many do.

I've discovered that hidden behind the country numbers is a message...

It's a pattern that I've only been able to decipher from my 20 years of studying numerology, astrology, mysticism, voodooism, and chroneyism.

The formula is complex.. but if you take a snapshot of the numbers every fifth minute on altnating tuesdays, and apply those numbers to the rosetta stone, using the first number as the paragraph, second number as the line, and third as the word in the sentence.

A message will appear. Here is what I have been able to decrypt so far:
"carbon units that dwell upon the 3rd planet, the solestis of your armageden is here, Dark moon rises..."

There is more, but I have not decrypted it yet, the algorithm changes and it is garbled.

I need more time!!
I need mroe time!!
The earth is in danger!

Exactly my point nucks...which means the idea might work for maybe 50% of the players.....

Whats with this lately, gamegangbang...

Sucks!

Warp,

And you make my point....If the objective is to balance the country populations, you need only effect enough players to balance the numbers...If it affects 50% of the players, that should affect about 3 to 5 times as many needed to balance the populations....an actual efect of only 15% or so should balance things out.
