I actually quite like it.

Because right now with 3 Offensive Allies, anyone worth two cents can break anyone.

Take out the borders, and when you choose a government from the drop list, on the side, show that government's adjustments on the side,

industry numbers, maybe have it show how many of that unit it would produce?

LaF is so good we'll win in a war against LaF.

LOGIC IS FUTILE, WE'LL FIND A WAY.

Now that's an old name.

as a sales person, internet spam ads do receive attention when it's in caps.



and the fonts EE forums uses are great, caps is fine

only if you add milk!

MOO

Moooooooooooooooooo

llaar lost track of which alias he was using.

TheORKINMan,

Honestly, man to man, you have issues.

If you want to keep the grudges, go to Team Server (Cause that's what 1A from E2025 became), and go harass RD there.

*hides from RD*

LaF does police who our members are allied to, and will definitely act accord to our internal rules.

What negative points for getting arrested?

Couple points

If #2 ABs #1 in a primary/express/tournament game, there's no way to track it, and that's smart playing to win the reset.

If #2 Tagged X ABs #1 Tagged Y (or X) to win the reset. Then that is considered an action of unprovoked special attack, and I'm pretty sure the rest of that is to be worked between both alliance's FR if pacted, and up to the players themselves if not.

If Tag X Special Attacks Tag Y to create a way to win a title, then I'm pretty sure even if pacted, the FRs won't have to do much, it's a definitive act of war and we can all see fire works the next reset.




The thing is, how many special attacks justify for a message?
One? Two? Three? Maybe some alliances will let that go.
Four? Five? Six?
Seven? Eight? Nine? Ten?
Twenty? Thirty?

Where's the line?
THERE IS NO LINE.

*PMs Patty instead with all the spam*

WIN! DING! WOOT

I should spam some more to make Patty's day.

If someone FFRs, then they should expect to be FFR retal'ed and killed.

Then the other alliance might consider FFR kill an act of war and go to war.

Mooo

BUMP

That's what AT is based upon.

If small groups of countries does it, they'll get killed.

Creating wars and what not, generates fun in the game.

I agree with you to an extent, if an untag that gets farmed to oblivion day in and day out does it, it's just and no one gets butt hurt.

If a tagged member of an alliance just suddenly got tried of being hit 4-5 times a day by different alliances, and decide to pick one at random and do a 'FFR' then like the old policies, said alliance should be responsible for the act and pay reps. Because they failed to control their own members.

If a tagged member of an alliance was farmed day in and day out by different countries of one alliance, and decide to pick a random country from that alliance, that was not involved in the farming, and do a 'FFR'. Then that's a problem, and said alliance should be held responsible and pay reps, because they failed to control their own members.

If an alliance as a whole was tired of being hit day in and day out by one alliance, and decide to do a 'FFR', that's just a war, and it might as well be an FS. There's no issue, both sides go to war, and the issue either is resolved or continued the next reset.

But, if an alliance as a whole decide to use special attacks as a 'FFR' on regular land grabs, then that should be considered an act of war and no one should complain when they log into a dead country.



Now, the real argument is where the line is. Some people can condone being hit 5 times a day, some people gets hit once and decide to launch a parking lot party.

Also, 'FFR' launching countries/alliances should expect more Farming coming their way as a retaliation method used against 'FFR'.


That's just my 2 cents.

nintendo has more letters!

introducing construction tech means lowering theo bonus (which then scales as they get construction tech)

Yup, and that's how achievements should be done.

But, we can always add super achievements. 5x T100 finishes. 5x Top10 finishes.

super achievements can give other benefits, forum avatar, title, country icon next to name, different colour country name (all optional, in game stuff can attract suiciders)

I mean, wouldn't a super title saying you have won Express 10 times be awsome? We have a Panda Express Medal in LaF for winning Express =p

Life time 1000 Kills in Alliance server, BLOODTHIRST title in forum.

This all would also mean that a super forum would be needed, which was LOOONG over due.

And super forums can have small flash games as well, separate page for those, addictive flash games, we all fight for high score, some achievements, but definitely lots of bragging rights.

those small flash games are all over the net, free to plug into, and definitely would help generate traffic.

Techers are so strong right now in the game, maybe introducing a few new techs would help curb it.

Construction Tech
Oil Tech (LONG OVER DUE)
Fix Medical Tech

llaar, we're recruiting, period.

I don't care if current RAGEnELY members wants to join LaF, but they better have a good reason to.

If you had read my thread, 100m bushels grand prize pay out is within this Calendar year and successful applicants would require a phase of monitoring and review.

And if you plan on leaving after, you are disqualified.

In short,

Gaming in the 85-95 was all about text based, or simple graphic games, or console.
95-2005 we saw a HUGE increase in graphics quality from Diablo to World of Warcraft, to some really nice FPS graphics.

Since 2006 there has been a push for achievements, every game out there is doing it.

It's time for EE to push on the new age.

qz, i think most of the people here in this thread's take is that, not limit it, EXPAND it, to everything and anything, it'll annoy the fluff out of a veteran, but a new player or a player that is learning, this will be 'exciting' and 'new'.

So what it'll annoy the fluff out of most of us that are still here. Most of the achievements will be done by us in a few sets anyways, and the ones that do come later, are usually the ones we don't work on. Like missiles for a netter or a networth / land achievement for a warmonger.

It'll definitely be something new, with achievement points, there's competition OVERALL, not just each set, which was what some people were asking for, a ranking system of finishes (which hurt warmongers). And cut off noobs because they lose out on points when they didn't even play.

But now an ACHIEVEMENT system, a new player would be able to catch up right away with non-point freaks in a few sets, and can work on different achievements.

We can have achievements for total land lost, amount of SS/PS defended, lots of weird things, and those can be for untag, give the untags a couple bones here and there.


I know it will be extremely hard to code, but it WILL be worth it. Achievements is the new thing in gaming.

From text based to graphic games like Diablo I, to games with stronger game play like WarCraft II, to expanded personal development in Diablo II, to introducing personal achievements in World of Warcraft. I mean, look at the biggest and most successful gaming company, Blizzard.

If you look at the GTA line, it's the same thing, even first person shooters is all about achievements now, look at Battle Field : Bad Company.

We're past the age of where graphic games can hold the crown, all of them are fighting for more ability to hold their gamers, and ACHIEVEMENTS is it. Literally will cause casual gamers into hard core games, I've seem moms in World of Warcraft doing casual leveling developing into a full blown 16 hour a day 'casual' gamer who works on achievements.

This could potentially turn Earth Empires from a text based browser based game into a Flash? or Silverlight based game. Maybe Java? I don't know, I don't program.

Non invasive pop up with Achievement title, points, short description and link to long description would be nice. Ability to close it with a simple ESC button would also be nice. So for Veterans who first start it, can just go through them right away.

Making them server based as well would mean multiple rankings on multiple servers, rankings would allow bragging rights, but not release of each person's country information.

Rankings with Alliance Tags would be even more bragging rights, top 10 all LaF members? BOOM! HEAD SHOT!

Alliance Rankings as well, Total Alliance achievement points and average alliance member achievement points.

potentially have a different set of achievements as well for each Alliance. Tags can then be registered with the Admins, and maybe have 5 tag holders and can be updated every reset.



Man, this can go far, seriously.
It's a lot of work, but I'm being totally honest, there are people out there that can help.

Well, this time it'll be different, because the prize is real, and she can win it!

Better ask your wife to join LaF then.

Funny how a thread started by me is your recruitment thread.

Which, does answer to what I promised to do, spam every single one of your recruitment threads.

Mine was posted a month ago.

And no matter what you say locket, my post is above yours. And again, no, your not qualified, and your getting pinked again

More like legality and ensuring the contest is legit.....

As of posting date of contest, you were a LaF member, thus, excludes you from this contest.

pang, if he's in the hall of fame, i can't draft him right?

and yes ben ' i like to party with underage girls' is out for 6 games.

i follow sports i don't follow NFL, but radio wouldn't shut up about Ben or the idiot who broke his arm playing flag football



And Pang, you really have to try better then that, of course i know who peyton manning is, he's eli manning's brother!

NOW3P, obviously we would love it if you stuck around for good.

But if you leave before the contest ends (when the drawing happens) you will be disqualified.

There is currently not a set time frame of when said draw would occur, but I expect it to be within this calendar year. Getting IN LaF, isn't the same as getting accepted, there's a training period involved. If a recruit was to fail graduation from our training period after one reset, they would be disqualified from the grand prize, but, they would be welcome to remain training in our training division and learn from us, and work on graduation the next reset. They would not be disqualified from the early bird prize, however.

And I will say it again, a winner will be declared before the end of this calendar year.

If you have clear intentions of leaving LaF after said contest is over, then you would have broken one of the contest's rules and thus, be disqualified.



@ DL, make your own recruitment posts, edit your post or I'm making sure I'm spamming every single one of your future recruitment posts, till the end of time.

Only one recruit receives this prize because it is a prize, not a give away to buy members. We're looking for people who wants to join LaF, not people after in game resource.

I eat ketchup.

Carrot isn't tied to a stick, the carrot is at the end of tunnel, and there's an infinite amount of entrances, it's up to the new applicant to pick one, and if their lucky, they win. But if they don't walk to the end of the tunnel, they won't find out if they won or not.

No, I am not buying members, like I said, if I was, I would offer it to every member.

We're just looking to recruit, I'm just having fun while I'm doing it. Help out a new recruit that may never have had a good finish, and 100mil could help them a lot, or a greasy vet of the game that is looking for an excuse to leave their current alliance and join one that could offer them a better place to play in.

We don't treat our members like an account in a book. Even though we are a mafia, we are also a family. We take care of our members, as long as you return the favor to the family, treat your family well, protect your family, and don't hurt our family.

Early bird special, first five accepted applicants under the rule set forth is also eligible for a one time bonus of five million bushels, and in addition to the final prize if one of them were to win it, another bonus million bushels will be given out to the other four accepted applicants.

See, now I'm buying members, or maybe not.

*Note : All prizes are to be paid out by Forgotten (Or a member that broke the spirit of the contest) and is in no way associated with Pangaea and Earth Empires Development and Administrative Team. *

i'll join.
i have no clue about football

effectiveness will need to be toned down,

else it will be even more powerful in an FS

Not buying, it's a contest.

If I was buying, I would offer it to EVERY new applicant.

With some renovations done in our department and some, uh, employees parties the last week or so, we had closed up our recruitment department.

But now, we are please to announce our GRAND RE-OPENING of our Recruitment Department, as an initiative for our potential recruits to apply, I have decided that from now until July 24th, 2010, ONE lucky applicant will receive a, one time prize pay out of 100 million bushels.

That's right. 100 million Bushels.

You can apply at http://www.lafamiglia.org.

Rules and regulations are as follow.
1) Prize is only awarded to an ACCEPTED applicant through a random draw, out of a virtual hat. Current LaF members, families and relatives of LaF, and pets of LaF are ineligible for this contest.

If a LaF member fakes a new partner, he is subjected to be paying out this said prize as a penalty.
2) Eligibility is for applicants who have applied and accepted by LaF Recruitment Department between June 24th and July 24th, 2010.
3) Contest and Prize pay out and applicant eligibility are subject to review and any changes may or may not be posted on AT.
4) Prize payout is dependent on the winner's correct answer to a basic skills testing question, potentially Earth Empires related.
5) Prize pay out date is to be determined AFTER the winner goes through a period of monitoring of eligibility and is subject to disqualification if found to be breaking any rules of Earth Empires and/or LaF internal rules. Disqualification penalty may or may not include removal from LaF and ineligibility towards future contests and re-application to LaF.
6) All accepted applicants must remain in LaF during the contest contributing positively and play their country to their very best ability while remaining in LaF.
7) The Don(s) ALWAYS has the final say.

Thanks for your time and good luck.
Have a very Pang'ed Day.

I really hope the dev team will at least take a peek at this,

Because this isn't for the crowd that is here right now, this is for the new players that will eventually show up.

@Nuk

usually it's the other alliance's FAs that avoids our FAs.

Honestly, I have enough trust in our FR department to do what's right for each situation.

Besides, this game could use a bit more mix up and create fun.

each earth term gets hyperlinked to wiki saying what it actually means?

moo

adding a bit here that can be related.

a production % in buildings just like readiness.

% effects everything. it lowers when you get attacked, but lowers even more if you declare war, and attacks repeatedly with SS/PS.

moo

How about just an email reminder that you have received a new message in game? Don't have to send out the actual content?

Make a lot of total noob achievements.

You have created a Missile!(Any)
You have created a Chemical Missile!
You have created a Nuclear Missile!
You have created a Cruise Missile!
Then add an achievement for 10, 25, 50, 100, and so on, goes on forever. (This would be by each account)

People are Hungry!! (Activated when you run a turn with out sufficient food) [This would serve as a hint / advising pop up as well!]

Achievements for finishing a reset with out dying.
Top 500, 200, 100, 50, 25, 10, 5, 1.
Networth Total, 500k, 1m, 5m, 10m, 20m, and so on.

Achievement for joining GDI, Achievement for building a building type, achievement for building a % of buildings, say, 90% Farms Achievement. Help promote / teach while giving achievements.

Bushels production, income, oil, just set a ton of levels, give out achievement points.

Achievement point rankings, max for one reset, and max total.

Make a lot of Locked ones with neat titles but doesn't say what it actually takes, so discovering it would be neat.

Rare ones and hard ones u can give them ability to change their country display name, or add an icon to their name, or something like unlimited government change while in protection.

Literally, there's a lot can be done if wanted, but I think it would take a crap ton of coding.

I guess as the community, we can work on a list of achievements and hope it gets implemented
