Thank you Josey. Earth 2025 began mostly as a war game and all players knew it. There was a lot of trash talk back in the day. Mostly in fun.
Over the past 20+ years, many original players made "friends". I call them net friends.
As the game progressed, most net friends no longer wanted to war their other net friends and the game lost its intent.
Over time, more and more "friendly wars" were arranged which are sooo overrated.
I don't personally use a lot of social media.....I log into just to play the game. There are a lot of Alliances that communicate with their friends outside of the game through different social media and friends, across alliances, do the same.
Over the past 20+ years, although they won't admit it, many players have made this game their life.
They actually care what other players think about them. I don't.
My only alliance communications come the the game site inbox, in-game messages, and WC conversations.
There is always AT, which was originally used a lot for game smack. AT now has evolved to folks sharing their feelings through a LOT of "outside the game" conversations. Again, mostly by folks who have made it their real life vs. game life.
The player count has shrunk to a point where Multi-players no longer get banned. It has come to the point that outside social media comments can get you banned ingame.
Once again, I say thank you Josey. You folks have brought back the AT smack. My smack expert opinion would suggest that you folks make your point and move on. Repeating the same smack, over and over across multiple AT threads, tends to lose its effect. Your statement "None Of You Will Net In Peace Again" reminds me of how it was in the old days.
The game has evolved where only those expecting to "Net in peace" are bot hitting netters. How sad. Playing 1A, with a bunch of Bot hitters, is like watch paint dry.
Those netters that get hit by real players are crying because they were not war prepped.....how stupid! If folks want to play without defence, then they better be tough and stop whining. I don't consider it being war prepped when i build a country that makes the risk of hitting me not worth the overall gain. Worst case, my country gets killed. Restarting is also part of the game.
As the year 2025 approaches, it is good to see the AT smack and seeing bot hitters thinking about defence as some may call it being war prepped.
Thanks Josey.
