GC Recruitment Idea

you only get ships sent from a slaver if you try to enslave the person who is enslaved already not by regular attacks so did you try enslaving him?

I`ll watch the next time, but you should also know that after the attack my empire started losing 20,000 + credits per turn with no valid reason why. I had to reset and start over to get it to stop. If he was not cheating it`s a big system bug.

he will have been enslaved at the time in question

nope. Independent with no protection. 50k PR with 32 planets. I had a 55K PR with 3 planets. I should have smoked him.

is he enslaved? because a slaver will send part of his fleet sometimes

I'm new to the game, but I can agree someone has found a cheat. I attacked an empire with a 50,000 PR and his defending fleet had over 250 cruisers and more than 300 destroyers. That's a PR well over 710,000. I got my a** handed to me in a battle I should have won.

/me deletes all comments and goes on thinking and saying what he want`s about CC

lol kelti, i wont argue "who cheats" with you, but i can assure you, bw hasn`t spent dung on this game until really recently, most of his paids came from me xDD

the only reason you wern`t banned was b/c you spent the most money on this game

sorry i would never recruit ppl to this game since "un-named" person has cheated repeatedly and has never been banned

is there a great amount of new players?
Did get 2 new players....

But is there a big list of new players?

Really? 1 million land single colonies? Wow! I had no idea! And I`m glad to know that there will be extreme circumstances to warrant a large colony as a prize.

I also agree that recruitment is a must!

well seems there are people with over 1m land single colonies nowadays blad through use of artifacts patience and money ( nothing illigal ) 50k land thrown randomly at a new player ( such land will never be thrown at anyone unless super extreemly worth it ) there isnt really much affect compaired. but yes i agree with alot in your post , but still , recruitment scheme is a must at this present time

Personally, I don`t think planets like this should be given out as prizes. As supportive of recruiting as I am, I`ve never liked the idea of planets/clusters being given for anything (except compensation). I`ll give you my reasons. First of all, giving someone a large amount of land (or in the case of the Spazial an extremely small amount) can distort the balance on the server. Most of you will scoff at this thought, but it`s true, especially if someone win`s several prizes. Secondly, when a player is given these prizes, where would they go in the players colony order? Will they be added as border colonies? If so, then they might easily be lost, especially by someone with a relatively high planet count who cannot explore borders. So someone who has 100 planets might have a hard time keeping his prize while someone who has 5 planets can easily explore for borders. This makes things unbalanced and unfair. On top of that, someone who nabs these large planets gains an unfair advantage for doing practically nothing.

I DO however, think that giving free paids is a great idea. I would think that it would generally hold true that most people making the attempt to recruit large numbers of players would not normally buy paids for themselves (this only holds for those recruiting specifically to win prizes rather that only for the good of the game. The latter type of person has probably been recruiting before now). I think that Stephen, should provide the "free" paid accounts as the prizes since it technically won`t hurt his income since the players receiving the awards probably wouldn`t be able to afford to pay for these accounts anyway. Secondly, wince this recruiting could ultimately INCREASE his overall income from GC then maybe he should have some sort of commitment to improving the numbers of players.

enslave link dosnt even work >.>"

as for paid status being given from players rather than staff , im more than happy to work with whoever donates a paid status to find and reward that new player.
