Oops, looks like I managed to disrespect MrFord without meaning to.

What I ment was that it is very difficult to get in-depth advice in an open forum. Hard to get past the basics - and Legion has the basics already. And this kind of forum does not lend itself to that kind of discussion.

That is not to say that there have not been good comments and advice here. Just that he will need much more to make such a big decision.

Well, this is surely the place to get good advice!!

I would be glad to answer any questions you have about the Army. and I know a fair bit about the other services too.

I have almost 3 decades experience in uniform so you can expect something a bit more than "duh! navy is teh suk!!"

See your private message. :)

Well the double-edged sword is that FS's can be awesomely powerful (for those who do it right) but also that with fewer players / smaller clans you have to have those turns in order to actually have a war.

But instead of making KILLING HARDER, what if we made RESTARTING EASIER?

FS's dominate because restarts have to go back to 100 acres / 100 troops. So all your great netgaining/wargaining goes to waste with sub-min kills. And you cannot recover because the restarts are so weak.

So leave the turns / readiness alone. Killing is fun and it needs to be there to prove alliance warfighting skills and to kill off suiciders/idiots.

Make a 'resurrection' option. If you country is killed and you login within 24 hours you can salvage civilization from the wreckage. Your country is 2/3ds the acres and half of that is barren acres. Your population and military are devestated. But you have 100 turns of protection to put it all back together - or at least together enough to help your alliance in the war!!

So now an FS still has a major advantage - but an active and skillful alliance can recover.

Also: the police were still wearing their bike patrol gear -- they were probably only there because someone (most likely several people) called to complain about the ongoing protest.

I agree - I have been to the memorials on The Mall several times - as well as tons of other public memorials / museums etc... - and find it very disturbing when people are acting out and being inappropriate / distracting / disrespectful. Many of the people visiting the memorial that day would only have one chance in a lifetime to see these great sights. Having their time poisoned by some asshats provoking an incident is not right.

They were asked to not be disruptive. They were warned not to continue demonstrating. When the first violators started getting arrested others joined in an started deliberate civil disobedience tactics to disrupt the police. There were only 2 officers to start - not good odds. And the protesters might know they intend to stay peaceful, but the police spend a lot of time studying the incidents that DONT stay peaceful -- and they start with the same kind of tactics these guys were using.

Note the 'Code Pink' and 'Disobey' t-shirts. This was a planned provocation of the police. Had they really wanted to demonstrate then permits for demonstrations on The Mall are readily available. They could even have demonstrated at the Jefferson Memorial if that was important to them. No one is preventing them from peaceable assembly and the lengthy presentation of whatever they feel wronged for. But it would have been done in a way that would not have stolen other peoples enjoyment and visit to the memorial.

LOL

I always liked clowns....

And guns are cool....

CWG ROCK!!!

:)

you cannot say Ninja Vanish unless you lived and played the Ninja Vanish set!!

Confirmed.

RAGE will be back as an independent tag next set.

Pacting has begun and RAGE will re-emerge.

And legion - Rage has a LOT of Rage. What did you say your country number was?

:)

So Riddler & family are OK, but the house is not.

This just in on the RAGE site:

=======================
Riddler
Alliance: RAGE
May 31, 2011 2:59 AM
Alive and kicking. I live only about 12 blocks from the hospital and 5 from the high school. Both gone. My house took a beating and 6 family members lost everything. What the twister didn't take the looters did. This was an ef-5 and 8th deadliest in u.s. history. Thank you all for the prayers. We still have no power and even when we get it back I may not have net due to my phone lines and box on the house being crushed. When I look out my door there used to be homes only 2 houses away and now nothing. I will post pictures later. Check out YouTube and see the monster that took the lives of many and 4 co workers. God bless you all and I look forward to my full return

===============================================

For a look at where his house WAS check out this picture:

http://www.latimes.com/...,2395484.htmlstory?tumblr

Thats the high school he lives near.

Please keep him, and all those hurt by the recent plague of tornados (alabama, missouri, arkansas), in your thoughts and prayers.

:(

Hope and Pray that he and his family are well. However, it can be expected that getting online is not his highest priority.

quit talking about me

Always knew those people who played that earth game were crazy.

Now we have legal proof.

I dont play Earth. Never have. Silly game, not really worth the time.

I have, however, played Rage for more years than I can rightly count. :)

The point is to see what the activity / fighting ability of the alliance is.

SoF killed off some vermin and still had activity and turns remaining. Seems pretty reasonable to pick some other targets to show how many actual hits could be cranked out.

And, for the record, the untags had a huge number of jets with very little else.... kinda looks like they were sons of suiciders and we did the game a service by eliminating them before they could trash on some poor netgainer.

ROFL @ that article.

The most laughable was the comment that with the creation of Africa command the US has suddenly gained control over the whole continent.

Written with a lot of bias and very weak understanding of international military affairs, let alone diplomatic situations.

Barrels actually.

But you need to filter it before you drink it (inside of the barrels staves are chared - that gets the mellow taste and color) so lets just get a lot of bottles. :)

Abortion
Scrapping the long Gun Registry
Scrapping the Canadian Wheat Board
Major refugee system reforms.


Actually sounds like a very reasonable start. :)

Allah Ahkbar!

yea

Very cool idea.

I also hate planned 'friendly' wars.... this would make it more interesting.

Maybe add in a planned stop time... either say 5 days from start time, or a random time in a 4-8 day window.

All netgaining should be outlawed.

Only war strats, all set, every set.

Then no one would have these really emotional jags about landgrabs.

:)
