You can't do that. You can't join GDI if you've attacked in that last 24 hours (I think it's 24 hours at least). What they're likely doing is attacking when they're NW is so much larger that the attacks lower your country to the point where GDI simply won't allow any further attacks without declaring war.

Is this post count better? No, I'm not a troll; nor has anyone been able to explain how exactly I'm wrong. Your post, in fact, supports when I said that this isn't new and has been going on for quite awhile.

Something that's unconstitutional is illegal.

It doesn't matter whether you trust the court or not; it still exists. I already pointed out it's a yes-man court that never says no and that such a thing is, in part, how they loosened the restrictions so much as to do what they want legally.

This thread takes on a new light with all the recent scandals. In truth I think it's hard to say which president was better and which was worse. A lot of the things both get praise for and a lot of the things both get heck for are things that were a long time coming.

The financial collapse gets blamed on Bush; but it came about as a result of deregulation and oversight that started back with Presidents like Reagan and even Clinton. The Stimulus package is generally credited to Obama but Bush was the one who first got it rolling and passed the first portions. Meanwhile Obama gets blamed for the lack of oversight on the bailout, but that again was started by Bush.


What I will say is that some of that list was utter BS (the list of Obama's accomplishments). Some of it was fine, but some of it was just BS. Yes, you're out of Iraq; but you're out because of a deal that was signed with the Iraqi government requiring you to leave by then, and that was signed by President Bush. And you do not get credit for Libya. The response to Libya was overseen and managed by Canada; we get credit for that. You get credit for Iraq and Afghanistan which you managed; but we managed Libya. So no, Obama doesn't get credit that.

So the guys you funded, armed, and trained; attack you killing a few thousand. And you want to slaughter millions indiscriminately? You know I'm sure there's probably a few Russian and Chinese over there; you'd be cool with them nuking you off the face of the earth and leaving America a giant crater for killing some of their citizens right?

Or maybe you could take the alternative option and not train, fund, and arm terrorists in the future.

So the PS4 won't require you to log in everyday, won't have always online DRM, won't have restrictions on lending, trading, or selling; and won't require you to ever check in with an internet connection.

Oh, and the price has been announced as $399.99

So if Microsoft does get their acts together then it looks like Sony has won the console wars.

It's totally different with PC gaming though. You can't really rent PC games either, there's no market for it and hasn't been. There has been for the consoles. There's also no real offline multiplayer for PC games; where as games like Halo are huge for that. In the past you could take your game to your friends house for a game night without having to lug your entire console over. In addition to that PC games are still more accessible than the console ones will be. It's not true that you can't lend or sell your games, you can. The key restricts multiple people from playing under the same key at the same time and it does that through the internet. Multiple people could play it offline. Part of the reason for that is so that you can play your game when you buy a new computer. Steam has a similar setup where you can play offline on multiple computers at once, and you can lend a friend your account if you wanted to so they could play online while you're not. The X-Box model doesn't even allow those. The games are tied to your gamer account. That's similar to Steam, but I can back up my steam games (and have) on an external hard-drive so if something happens to my account I still have access to my games and proof that I bought them. If your X-Box account gets hacked and banned though, then you're screwed. The always online DRM means even if they exist on your console, if you can't get on your account back in 24 hours with everything still there; then your stuff is blocked and you can't play it.

Plus steam mitigates it by giving you the workshop to help build a massive modding community, so you get way more than you paid for, and by constantly giving you steam sales so instead of paying $60 for a game that you have to be online everyday to play; you instead pay $15 for a game you can play offline at anytime and that has massive amounts of community involved modding supported by steam. It's leagues different.

Not necessarily. Sony's first party games should be without the always online DRM. The independents should as well. So there's some games right there. But the big trump card is Nintendo. I think what we might see is a lot of big games being without the always online-DRM so that they can put them on all three systems. Nintendo I don't believe has said they'll go always online DRM and I think it's highly unlikely that they will. Their base isn't the hardcore console gamers who will end up paying anyways, it's the families; and they're less likely to accept always online DRM because it costs money, it takes time, and many parents won't want their young children online. Nintendo is smart enough no to alienate their base like that; so I think there's a good chance that Nintendo's business model will end up being the unlikely savior for PS4 gamers.

Confirmed, LaE is now at war with Starcraft 2

6 grabs in two weeks? How dare you? That's like saying your countries each attacked them .001 times per day. Why that's practically a killrun.

I'm thinking a bad break up. No longer lovers maybe?

Because the other option is that it's our fault, and obviously it's never our fault so it must be yours. :)

To be fair, everything's fun when you're drunk and naked.

?

Why would you bother bringing this up again?

Nope, it equals 4.998 :P

Apparently. Guess that tells you how much a flop it was.

Huh, alright.

It's news to me, but I'm just a member, I wouldn't deal with that sort of thing.

Huh, well I'll have to risk it I guess. The other two movies playing here are Scott Pilgrim and The Expendables, and I know those are good.

Wait, what?

Do you happen to remember which countries farmed Legion?

I'm being serious here. I don't recall that, though I only checked on others attacks when I was attacking so I could have missed it.
I remember not attacking Legion at all because I'd seen on the boards what was going on and didn't want to farm a tag after it just got out of a war.

I'm just wondering who exactly would have farmed Legion then because I don't really remember too many other people grabbing other clans besides myself, and I didn't attack Legion.

That's true.
I remember when I went to see Avatar 3D, the only 3D I really noticed was the beginning and end of the movie when I thought about it. The rest of the movie I was actually watching it and didn't really notice the 3D.

That said I don't go see 3D movies too often. I generally watch movies like Scott Pilgrim instead, and as good as I thought it was; that's not popular enough to both making 3D.

Oh, well in that case.

I don't know, I live 3D movies, but not enough to make a bad movie good.

See, that's what I'm hoping for though.

I'm taking a girl to the movies, and I know she loves horror movies, so my hope is to head to Piranha 3D and for it to suck so there's no reason to actually watch the movie.

I've just never seen any of the Piranha movies so I wasn't sure it if was a good series.

Yep, see where I said twice to him that I don't care and originally tried to change the thread to being about Pirahna 3D?

I'm not angry. If I was, then I would have argued about Dynasty being gutless, but I don't care enough. I'm simply pointing out that his assertion is ridiculous.

I'm not.

I'm trying to point out the sillyness of his assertion that it's okay to war TKO because they have a pact so they could just get one again after. There's a pact there for a reason.


Did you not get that? I mean that's why I put in: "like you claim would be easy with TKO."

I also dais I don't really care if they're bored and want to war so why would I want to try and organize them against LaE?
Or do you think I'm that new here that I don't realize that's not going to happen?

I mean seriously, if you're going to get angry then get angry over something that actually makes sense. Me pointing out how ridiculous the notion is, that warring a friend is a good thing, isn't something to get your knickers in a bunch.

And if they're your friend and ally then obviously you could arrange a war for the set then go back to normal next set, like you claim would be easy with TKO.

If you want to war so badly, why not just war LaE?

DM's already up for a battle it seems. There ya go, problem solved.

He was killed for being one of the allotropes of carbon?

Wait, since when am I a representative of Dynasty? Did someone make me HFA when I wasn't looking?


Also, not so much gutless, as just not really caring at all. What do you want, a congratulation?

Well then congratulations, you've grabbed a clan 3 times smaller than you. Good job on going public on how you like to attack clans 3 times smaller than you.


I get it. You're bored, you'd planned to war this set but the war didn't last long. You guys have tried going on without the war, but it's boring you. I get it, I just don't really care.

And no, I do not represent Dynasty; I represent myself, that's it.

There's land exchange in Piranha 3D?

Wait, There's clans and war in Piranha 3D?

Wow, that movie is getting better by the minute.

Right....



So anyone see Piranha 3D? Headed to the movies tomorrow and I'm wondering if it's worth it.

A bat in the hand is worth two in the belfry.

Ah, okay.

It makes me wonder if any of them played the old Earth 2025. Figure that would've given them a heart attack.

0.0

You do realize it was a joke right...?

Remove his admin access, boot him from the clan, get a new site that he has no access to, have his ip address permablock from the game,send viruses to his comp, track his home address, hunt him down, break his fingers and hands, capture him, and tie him up in a dungeon for all eternity.

Cause, you know, the internet is serious business.

Why?

Do you really want Biden running the show?

Besides, there were attempts. Problem is that racist rednecks, (the one's who'd try to kill him) also tend to be utter morons, and thus tend to get pulled over by the police for stupid things like speeding, busted tail light, parking illegally, etc.

But that shows him as being above the others on the list, and has having the special color of orange, meaning admin. So that doesn't really prove that he doesn't have access.

I'm not positive, but here's what I think:

It shows that on the site he's only listed as having 16 countries, so obviously he only has 16 and thus obviously can't be cheating...

It doesn't really work that way though. First off nobody really cares anymore, save a few.
Secondly, all it proves is that on that list, he's only reported as having 16, which doesn't mean he can't have more under aliases.


Again, I'm not positive that that's what he meant by the shot, just my guess (considering someguy did all that ttt crap to the old cheating threads)

Yes.

Against 1 person, attacked once, it should work.

But retalling practically non-stop all set because they're smaller and constantly attacked by bigger alliances, and you're not going to be able to retal every attack (especially double or triple taps).
And you didn't address the fact that the land is not going to the original country, which hurts that country and will drive players away.

Still doesn't always work though. With only a few people in the alliance, you're basically saying everyone had to run a retal strat for a certain part of the set, and then be completely active during that part of the set.
You're not always going to be able to swing that, especially with newer players, and it means the person hit isn't always going to have the chance to get their land back. A retal isn't just about the clan, it's also the country. Nobody wants to lose thousands of acres every weekend that they can't get back because they have to drive home from college, work, then drive back during that time.

Penis Mole Fire

Problem is that won't really work.

Back in the old days, when we had tons of members per clan, we could create retal teams and have them take care of it easily.

But when you have a clan of say 17 people, it's not so easy. You're going to have probably 1 leader and 1 FA, monitoring such things.
Day 1, they would wait for the country to get on.
Day 2, with random attack times and log in times, there's a good chance you're looking at hour 33-36 before they check again, they're finally deciding to take the retal for you. That gives a few hours to take the retal. Given the strats and times of set, there's a good chance the FA won't be able to take the retal, which means they need to find someone else who is on, with enough mil to take the retal.

That in itself could cause lost retals, but then add into effect something like a triple tap, and you're trying to organize quite a few retals within the span of a few hours.
That's going to be hard to do against a clan twice your size, or more, since you'll suffer quite a few more attacks.

The point is that it's a lot more difficult to co-ordinate a retal for someone else when you've only got a few hours, your clan is hit quite often, and you've only got a dozen or so members, with some of them likely inactive.
It's not impossible, but it's more difficult and could cause the loss of retals.

RL issues.

Wild college parties, internet crash, computer crash, family drive for vacation, business meeting on anouther continent, drive home from school, major study weekend, marriage issues, hospitalization, family member hospitalization, child ran away from home, weekend in the slammer, power outage, work emergency, waking up in the desert after a wild party, blowing your cash in vegas and having to bus it home, etc.

72 hours gives more time for someone to take retals when they have a real life emergency. It's not just about the ability to retal with the country, it's with RL issues as well. A lot of people get busy on the weekend and won't always be logging on.
With the site just starting up again, and with the facebook part starting up to recruit new players, the site's going to have a lot of players who aren't as dedicated as the ones here now. Rather than imposing harsher, smaller retal periods, we should be ensuring that the new players will be able to balance their real life with the game, and thus ensure that they will continue to play rather than quit out of frustration.

Godwin.

Yes they do, but they also cause Lime Disease.

Which is definitely good.

But my point is that a vast number of EE players cheated (mainly back at Earth2025). Complaining about how RD used to cheat, or how there's so many former cheaters in this thread really doesn't mean much when so many people use to cheat.

Can I join?

Must resist temptation...

Okay, I'm good now.
