My next race will probably be collective, if that makes you feel any better tiki.

For right now 0% members are collective, however 2 UWs were collective in the fed. So we are just rotating I guess for now.

Maybe assimilation will come when the new M|K operating system comes out in 2011.

Plenty fair, but I couldn`t help notice M|K has 0% members as Collective.
The 50% of my fed that ISN`T Collective simply hasn`t been assimilated yet :D
/me gives a shoutout to fellow hives sharkrider and Conquers

So I thought after playing so long and awesome as a Terran, it might be enjoyable for our recent overmind to go with a race that stands out more than Aspha Miner. (And then if things go according to plan, the assimilation process will spread through M|K from the inside......erm, forget I said that.)

Tiki:
1) Collective isn`t really that challenging. The only challenging part is getting good planets.
2) MK works much more like a collective than any collective. We work as a team.

Rag: If masta was around back then he wasn`t a major force. There were a bunch of collectives like me running the show until you hit the jackpot. And yes, I wanted to intentionally crash the market to cause people to go tax. Unfortunately, I didn`t account for the sheer level of apathy on fast. Nobody went tax. :P

@Deiloche: I do farm for the most part, but right now plundering helps speed things along after UWs. :-)

I just thought Infernal would like a challenge now, since he`s beaten the game he should try farming with the rest of us, and see if he can do anywhere near as good by being Collective!

Of course you can thank drunkenmasters for me coming along with land. I managed to get like 2 20k c2s off him cuz he was inactive, and then i got another 20k a few days later off someone else. Pretty much hit the jackpot with that one. Then i got another c3 from someone else. =P

Oh yea, I remember now. Although if memory serves me right I remember you making some sort of thread of how you were intentionally crashing prices to promote an increase in tax empires (although I suppose you did it cuz you knew it would happen anyways).

Was mastakilla around with a lot of land back then? Kinda crazy that our 2 empires account for over 90% of the food produced nowadays (the other 10% sells at 7 so you never see it most of the time =P).

Ragnarok: Since you seem to have forgotten, I was a five c.4 collective at the time. You crashed it on me, not the other way around. :P I was comfy for quite a while `till you came along with land, lol.

Uber: Not really. They complain that we dominate and most of them do nothing about it. So we continue to dominate.

Hearing the word "unbalanced" might have set you off, but I`m saying there is more to the argument.
Omegian

Uhm, I don`t understand, I thought we were talking about Arrland`s post.

You complain that people aren`t fighting you, then you ridicule those who would war with you? In such an environment, stagnation is inevitable.
Omegian

excuse me, your right:

Hostile Federations:-
Brotherhood Of NOD
Havina Alliance
Cosmos Heroes
The Art of Warfare
Devils Touch!
FireStorm

maybe 1 play of each faction is trying ...

I don`t think there is a "they". From what I gather there are a few empires fighting against M|K, with the general population carrying on as they always have.
Omegian

apparently they are trying that Uber and complaining about it.

I think it`s unbalanced for those that are trying to bring about some competition, Omegian. You can`t expect that an entire server will unite against you, people just don`t play that seriously.

im tempted to click on Loof`s This is the answer...but that would close the thread :P

the skill level is unbalanced....
Omegian

What i find what you call unbalanced is totally skewed. You just don`t understand the strategy behind it. You guys have more empires than we do, more turns in overall and more research in your empires than about half of us.

so yea ... in a nutshell its unbalanced. *wait ... how?*
Infernal
99+ day(s) ago
there were about 28 hits during the entire period between like 14 people.
you guys can continue to complain about the unbalance, or try to do something cohesive.
its a fact that i could have been easily been taken out but there were a lot of mistakes being made. in fact you could see just how surprised loof was when he saw i was still alive after he went out for 24 hours and got dung as$ drunk. he`s still kinda pissed that he didnt hit a single person throughout that entire 48 hours :P

but anyway, thanks for the congrats
