Is this a xing joke? lol

Please make a calender so that we know when this happens, and can avoid playing during these times... Or I will quit this game permanently. I was joking about someone would make this buildrate thing happen yesterday. And now the profecy somehow came to live :S

RT - it is MUCH different, as otherwise I couldn`t see how you would be at 700-800 mil PR building not even a day.

Besides, you really can`t resist using a few BTC in times like this when you know you`re getting a "4 for the price of 1" deal. You just sort of run with it at times like these. =P

Also, anybody notice how all of this happens right after the latest batch of UWs in december (starting with grantweep and my UW)? And then 4 more UW happened and it`s like Stephen took that as atonement for the crimes of Maraudian and started doing more events.

But I fear that with the latest flaming, those sacrifices will be for naught :(

No, this is more like how those who are outnumbered and can`t build more than 10-14m pr worth of fleet (if it`s spam) are able to kill thousands of turns of strafez from people who are otherwise unreachable. It`s also a way to force those same people to start paying for the privilege of holding those ranks. ^_^

Ya, it`s a pretty terrible event for turnbased.
RT on the other hand it doesn`t change much...
The same stuff happens just at 4x the powers/cost.
O Omegian
so this is like how those who cant hold ranks get them back right? allow them to use btcs then vm etc.

God i love useless events.

Well ST, whenever you need a couple million minerals, and there aren`t any on the market, shoot me a PM, I`ll almost always post minerals (at max price :P) If I have them. This is on RT of course, on the other servers I`m posting minerals pretty much as soon as I make them.

Hmm, Dinner, I knew I forgot something....actually....when was the last time I ate??? *thinks about it* uhh, Friday night? (Monday 2:10am right now) I must have eaten something inbetween, I just don`t remember what at the moment. hmm. *goes to get a snack*

US, Africa, Asia, Australia or america.

no offensive here PP but isn`t America and US the same thing or are you talking about south and north america just a thought ==ppp

lol ender... yeah you`re body needs that many calories after a run like that... though not so sure about McDonalds... and what the h.ell are you thinking Oreo McFlurry FTW !

Just had a second dinner... cooked up some filet mignon with asparagus and now time for my thin mint ice cream desert again tonight =)
E EnderWiggin
I just ate 2300 calories of McDonalds.... mmmm mmm delish! lol. In case anyones wondering thats 3 doubles, a mcChicken, and a McFlurry (M&M of course). Although thats not really as excessive as most of you are prolly thinking right about now because i went out to eat after finishing up a 10 mile run. And running for long periods ata time when its below freezing requires a ton of energy....
B Blazed
I always order in. I dropped my phone in the toilet at work last night and it doesn`t work anymore so it looks like I`m not eating toinight =(
H HoneyBucket{HH}
eating two bean burritos right now... could be better but they are pretty tasty =)
R Raistilin
so guys, i had a spicy chicken sandwich for dinner. was superb. how was everyone`s dinner ?

I`m not talking about where he lives... i`m talking about his personal calendar that is different from any else in the world. Kind of like Stephen`s math, there`s Stephen`s calendar. He is special in so many special ways.

I have some ideas... since some of my fed mates were bot checked by PS himself, including myself. And other talk. I have no intel from staff, but doesn`t mean I don`t have a dang good idea.
P PistolPeteOP
1. Stephen should be able to schedule 14 days before the event sets in that it will set in. No matter if he lives in US, Africa, Asia, Australia or america.

2. I believe you have no intel about who is reported and who reports it. At least you should not have?
H HoneyBucket{HH}
It is hard for stephen... he runs on a different calendar and clock than the rest of us.

And yes it is fair and good for the game to report and punish cheating. However, when you report anyone and everyone for cheating it gets old and is useless, the admins cannot punish everyone in the game, it`s not reasonable. Many of the people reported are not cheating. Plus only reporting your enemies for cheating, seems suspicious to me, which seems to often be the case.

Founders: I think you misunderstood this a little :P That fast server has been dead the last 3 months, and if this will make you active again, then fine with me. I don`t really care about it.

But I was very much unsatisfied that we have now taken the ranks two times in a row, an each time this 4x event sets in. In my mind there is no doubt that these events will not make RT a better server. I don`t really see why it should!? If 4x buildrate is better, then make it permanent, and make the max PR 4 times higher as well... All this event does is adding unwanted randomness to the game. :/ Stephen should put his effort some of all the places that needs hes attention instead, now that he is doing something for the game.

And Raven. I know this is probably not the place to discuss not-smart market transfers. I regret that i drew this into the discussion. sorry. But posting such big stacks several hundred billions for free at the market will not bring anything good to game, even though it is legal. All it will do, is that it will also give someone an unfair advantage. In this case your allies bought it from you, which is a problem i think, but i do believe you did not sell it to them on purpose. So everyone, CC or not CC, please don`t post things at price 0 at the market. Especially not 150mil in one stack, as there is nothing the admins can do to reverse this. It destroyes the game.

HB: As mentioned on top. I never mentioned fast server. And to comment on what you said to Posterus. We should all praise those people who are aware of what happens. People who PT or use bots are a disgrace to the game, and I am really happy that some of them are caught and restarted. Hopefully this will make these persons raise their standards - but i somehow doubt it. :S

And as I started out saying. If I had been told that these two events would have set in 14 days before they did, we would all be able to prepare it equally. That is all I am asking for. Can`t be that hard?!
H HoneyBucket{HH}
But there is respectable hatred and flaming and then there is what this thread produced... all the accusations and assumptions are just not necessary. Have some respect for your opponents and yourself, and show it in your posts. And I am speaking to people on both sides of the field.
