Yeah, but EE takes 5 mins to play so this gives you something fun to do after =D or in between war chats! Thats what I do.

Hey, just thought i'd post on here to spike interest or see if anyone is already playing this game Galaxy Life on Facebook... We started an Alliance for Earthers =D It's a fun game to do with your spare time.

that was boring reading all 17 pages..

Understandable? I think not. This is just a game, and its relevant to the real world. People with that mentality are what cause many of the real world problems. To have that understanding in just a game scares me if you were part of legislation or politics, etc. People shouldn't go be these expectations of well it's in our nature so why not. It just gives them an excuse to act the way they did.

@makinso that's where I was lacking in my history of this game, I don't know all the past endevours and situations that led things to the way they are now.
Essentially I was just trying to help the community if I could... obviously there are strong feelings and opinions on the whole matter which I haven't been around to learn - this leading into the assumption of me being an old member... I can honestly say that I am an "old" member, I played when I was like 14 or something when utopia was around. It must be around 10 years since then that I came to discover EE. So I am new to this with this being my first nick since the days of swirve - which if I remember correctly I used the name Zenxrush.

Haha well thank you ZEN for the informative post! =D I'll try to keep these things in mind.

@DeerHunter Fair enough, but I don't think that this post hurts anyone and like I said take it with a grain of salt if you don't like or disagree.

In hoping that posting this will give some members a different perspective or different view of that of a new player. You can take it with a grain of salt or maybe (and hopefully) there will be other solutions or discussions. I would like you to know that being a few weeks into this game, I have no knowledge of the politics or the history of all the alliances.(minus the bit that I read over this whole debate) As well as little knowledge of game itself.

So obviously LaF is in quite the dilemma, there leadership fell apart and I would suspect the alliance as a whole is having a rough time. Cheating in a game like this is pretty sad and those who took part in it should be ashamed. But I don't think putting all of LaF up for target fire is the best solution. What if there was a cease fire against LaF as well as for them against others for the duration of this set (or next set if need be) to allow them to catch their breathe, work out their kinks in leadership and to allow further investigation against any others who may have been knowledgeably cheating. For those who gained without knowledge or thought something was fishy and didn't take the challenge of confronting it should not take the heat of this, we should all accept that this can not be undone and take it in stride... I think there was a lesson learned (probably ones that go way over my head).

From what I understand, players are leaving the game over all of this which isn't good for the community of a small player base as is. So I don't believe that putting most of Alliance EE against LaF or to drive them out of the game will help. Maybe I am wrong but I don't think there is anonymous poll that decides who the leader of the alliance is and punishing all, I think would be unfair.

As far as the cheating goes... to that extent I would hope that neither of those two would be welcomed back to this game. All others who may have been involved and uncaught (if there are any), rethink your actions and choose to play the game to have fun and not take advantage of the hard work people put into this game to keep it running.

So looking back maybe there's a little defending for LaF which wasn't my intention but they are my thoughts. Maybe this will spark some discussion, or different ideas or maybe it wont or maybe this is all just worthless but, I figured I'd add my two sense for what its worth to the community.
And may this be my introduction to all of you =D
