a realization

[andrew]

 people get bored waiting for regular but cant handle the speed of turbo

as regular is now the only people left are active at least once every two days are the probably wouldn't be playing

[Peace Alliance]

 To be honest, i really think the idea that the speed of the game is whats causing the decline is stupid. regular has bever been considered too fast... in fact, it was just as slow before we even had turbo, and nobody complained...

like i siad, more people = more action. its the amount of turns in the entire game thats making it seem boring, and more people would = more turns.

[Deathclaw]

 Good idea, Peace. I never thought of it that way.

Total net in top 15: $591,396,097
Average net in top 15: 39,426,406.4666666666666666666667
Total land in top 15: 259,276
Average land in top 15: 17,285.066666666666666666666666667


We can conclude that the top ten is not land starved, nor is average net very low, and the game speed isn?t slow. The problem is that around ranks 13-8, the land is not being brought up so that ranks 7-1 can grab it, and the 14- people aren?t attacking people such as Swat (18M net, 24K land), who is landfat. This is due to the amount of people playing actively and wanting to grab the land and play for the top.  

[Peace Alliance]

 Well your kind of right. Because most of the time the game is land-starved, its because the land isn't being moved around properly.

However, i have no idea how posting those stats proves that point.... in fact, i don't think anyone was even saying it was land starved. they just wanted it faster to make it so they could run turns more often and make it so the game seems to be flowing more... so that more stuff is happening. but the more peopel there are, the more large clans there are, then the more the game will be moving, and the more stuff will be happening. so yes, its not a matter of low land or slow turns.

I've actually changed my mind on one thing though, i think there should be a land re-distribution system on reg, so that it doesn't go down in total land, and it keeps going up... but i still don't think it should be a land farm.

[RazorClaw]

 My posting the stats proves that there is not a lack of land, or a lack of speed. The runs are less exciting because nobody is bringing the land up. Plus, I was bored and wanted to see what the total and average net/land was for the top 15.  :D

 For me, the reason I stopped playing the game was because I didn't have any time to.  I hardly ever get a chance to get online for any significant amount of time, so I would always end up dying.

[RazorClaw]

 Well, the time period was prolonged to a week before death due to inactivity, so you only /have/ to play once a week, really. You've managed to find time for the forums now, wb, TEUFEL!

[Ruatine]

 Yeah, but I usually don't have the time, even just once a week, to get on the internet.  The only reason I have time this week is because my school has been hosting a music conference the past three days, so I haven't had classes.  That said, however, I will try to make time for the forums, even if it's just a pop in/pop out.

[Peace Alliance]

 I'm sorry but i honestly have a hard time imagining how somebody can't spare 15 minutes to go on the internet a week... let alont 15 minutes every 3 or 4 days. Maybe its because our canadian education system is more technologically advanced, but almost have a hard time NOT spending at least 15 minutes a week on the internet.

[RazorClaw]

 Well, she's in College, you're in High School.  

[Peace Alliance]

 I'll have MORE time when i get to university. And my brothers in collage right now and he's got more time then i do to spend online.

Plus, collage is even more technologically advanced  :huh:  

[RazorClaw]

 If you take 4 classes at a time, perhaps. My guess is that Teufel is doing her music stuff, a ton of classes, and 2+ jobs, and uses most of her spare time to eat and sleep and study.  

[Ruatine]

 *smiles* Thanks for sticking up for me RazorClaw.

I have 20 credits this semester, just like last semester.  That's 6 classes for me.  I'm going constantly from 7:30am to 2:30pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Tuesday and Thursday I get to sleep in until 8:30 and I have classes until 12, which is when lunch is served. I also work 15-20 hours a week. On Saturday, I do homework. On Sunday, I go to church twice, morning and night services. I'm also involved in the choir at my college, and we're recording a CD this year, so I'm busy with that. Most of my free time is spent with friends or catching an extra few minutes of sleep. If I get online, I'm usually checking my email or doing research for papers. Like I said, though, I'm going to try to jump online for a few minutes at least once a week to check out the forums.

 Me thinks people are tired of having peace, bloodwake, wolfbite always ruling the games.
