Good evening friends and family,

We have recently seen a spike in new handles being made, a lot of them are humorous and utilize chat gpt to create some very interesting posts. I see the adjustments made to the Rules and they are clear. The forums are designed to enhance the enjoyment of the game.

We have a lot of devoted players that have a lot of skin in the game; with the relationships they have nurtured and established over 2 plus decades of gameplay. Lots of players have met their significant others on this game, not many are currently playing but who knows. We all have grabbed a beer (s)with or have had long conversations with our clan mates and goes alike.

What makes this game special is we all play it a little different. We all have our unique backgrounds and skill sets that we can leverage to have the most fun possible. No one is the same, our diversity of mindsets is a strength. We do have a small group of players that Role-playing our game; they are completely different outside of this game than in it. Sometimes they things they say and do does cross a line, it can be viewed as breaking some of the rules. Rules that had been non-enforced or changed without awareness become a stress point to the players when they become enforced.

Our Alliances and the Players in the alliances have seen the toxicity on the AT as a form of entertainment and frustration since its inception. It's not always politically correct, which is good because it's a worldwide game. The rules and updates are designed to quell some of the more triggering topics so that more people can have a great time here.

We all want more activity here, more players and more fun. It should be focused on Gameplay and Alliance. I'd like to see two things, 1. A Monthly Email sent out to all accounts ever created, to draw players back. 2. Amnesty and 1 on 1 conversations for all players banned since EE's inception, unless it's a criminal issue.

Let's return this place to where friends become family. Thank you for your consideration.

It’s a grand idea but unfortunately some folks are too far gone to change. We have seen normal nice guys turn rotten to the core and there ain’t no turning them around.

I sincerely hope that for next years 2025 bash will see some old faces and that people will be “nicer” but who knows.

Nearly all game accounts that are permanently banned from the game engaged in botting or some other kind of criminal activity.

Amnesty has already been tried in the past regarding forum accounts. My understanding is that it didn't go well.

I need a TLDR.

Now, let’s be honest, this post right here, this belongs in the suggestion box thread. If you’re bringing up an issue or an idea that needs some attention, there’s a right way to do it, and that’s by putting it where it can actually be seen and acted on. Just like in life, if you want to solve a problem, you’ve got to go to the right place.

When we misplace our concerns or suggestions, it’s a bit like trying to fix a car by bringing it into a grocery store. You’re not going to get what you need, and neither is anyone else. So if you’ve got a suggestion or feedback, let’s make sure it lands where it can make a difference. It’s not about shutting down the conversation, it’s about moving it to where it’s more productive. And in this case, that’s the suggestion box thread.

Gud lawd man!! You got too much time on your hands. Total number of players VS. players that post on AT clearly indicates that, for most, this is just a game.
Some have made a simple game their whole life.

Just email your old clan mates. As many as possible
Jesus it's not that hard.

Whine if he grows the game for M4D.
Or whine if he tells you all what we're doing and you should do it too.

Its easy. IT TAKES 10 minutes to copy and paste 150 email addresses and tell your old friends to come back.

Let me just explain this to you people so you understand.

I once had to fight superman. We made a bet. The bet was that the loser has to wear his underwear over his pants.

That is all.

I have a really old email list with hundreds of former players. Last time I bombed it I had no less than 10 people ask me to never message them about Earth again lol. And the rest may have went to dead emails?!?

I don't think it's as simple as you put it.

I will say though it can work so you might as well try.

One of them was me
And for good reason

It's simple. Superman lost.
