I'm not sure which side Slayer is arguing, so I don't know if I really have the heart to respond to him:
its already hard enough to get cash as it is growth is already slowed down because no 1 can find segs fast enough and now if we put doomsday in and some 1 in the top 20 is sucked dry of his cash hes giong to get hit so hard he will have nothing left because every 1 will board him and board him till he has nothing left.
Very next post
yeah the game might speed up 2 much and we might max out in 5 years instead of 10.
and inside that very post
even if i take a vacation for a month nothing would have changed but the fact that im 300tril richer and no 1 attacked me. the server is just to slow.
So I'll leave him to argue with his other half.
On the other hand, Chrys, if the people who gave you your masters heard you using your masters for the reason why you must be correct; they would take it away for that is not a very educated thing to do. Someone with a masters should be able to argue logically without flaunting a masters or saying "Your idea hasnt been thought out properly and critically flawed. If you do not see it after this post, I wont bother to try anymore." without giving supporting facts.
Allow me to quote my favorite author, Ken Follet, on this matter.
"The monastery's senior physician, Brother Joseph, stood beside the patient. Joseph wasin his thirties, a small man with a big nose and bad teeth. He said: 'the wound should be kept open and treated with an oitment to bring on pus. That way, evil humors will be expelled and the wound will heal from the inside out."
...
" Matthew spoke up with surprising confidence, apparently undeterred by Anthony's scorn. 'I've seen many wounds like this on the battlefield, Father Prior,' he said. 'The best treatment is the simplest: wash the wound with warm wine, then stitch it closed and bandage it.' He was not as deferential as he looked.
Mother Cecilia interrupted. 'I wonder if our two young monks have opinions on the question?' she asked.
Anthony looked impatient, but Godwyn realized what she was up to. This was a test. Perhaps Saul was the rival for her money.
The answer was easy, so Godwyn got in first. "Brother Joseph has studied the ancient masters,' he said. 'He must know best. I don't suppose Matthew can even read.'
'I can, Brother Godwyn,' Matther protested. 'And I have a book.'
Anthony laughed. The idea of a barber with a book was silly, like a horse with a hat. 'What book?'
'The
Canon of Avicenna, the great Islamic physician. Translated from Arabic into Latin. I have read it all, slowly.'
'And is your remedy proposed by Avicenna?'
'No, but-'
'Well, then.'
Matthew persisted. 'but I learned more about healing by traveling with armies and treating the wounded than I ever did from the book.'
Mother Cecillia said: 'Saul, what's your view?'
Godwyn expected Saul to give the same answer, so that the contest would be indecisive. But, although he looked nervous and shy, Saul contradicted Godwyn. 'The barber may be right,' he said. Godwyn was delighted. Saul went on arguing for the wrong side. 'The treatment proposed by Brother Joseph might be more suitable for crushing or hammering injuries, such as we get on building sites, where the skin and flesh all around the cut is damaged, and to close the wound prematurely might seal evil humors inside the body. This is a clean cut, and the sooner it is closed the faster it will heal.'
'Nonsense,' said Prior Anthony. 'How could a town barber be right and an eucated monk be wrong?'
Godwyn smothered a triumphant grin."
Now I don't want to hear a Prior Anthony or a Brother Godwyn; however, I would love to hear your opinions as to why my system wouldn't work. Allow me to repeat the original so Slayer might have a chance to observe it:
No nebula; New technology called line of Sight Blocker allows you to be "nebbed" from an/the individual who has attacked you three times in the last 24 hour
New money mission. Reward is the same for everyone, but mission difficulty and power is determined by wealth
New DDay that once activated and developed will destroy half the wealth of the top twenty! Top twenty can attack anyone at this time, but using within 0-120% of the defenders power. When top twenty player gets halved he loses random 1/3 of CP and level. After DDay, half the top twenties stolen wealth is distributed evenly to all other players.
Now Chrys, we might be arguing because we have different values. I believe the War Server should be about constant war. Growth does not matter./ I believe that you believe the wars server is about holding rank and not fighting.
That is a very juvenile kinda way to even the playing field...heck, take the wealth from the wealthy to arm the poor so that they can shoot you better. It beyond silly. We need to look at other options. Slayers idea is viable however, the pace of the game may get too fast and you have people maxing out to early.
I don't know whether a game can have a juvenile opinion about it, but then again perhaps you are better at seeing sides as you were able to see which side Slayer was on. ;)
Allowing the newer people who did not have the chance to be in the game since the beginning to get all of the experience some of the others have will allow them to join the big fights even quicker.
As for maxing out too early, I believe loosing 2 digits of your power every three days and some of your CP that give you special abilities because you've been around longer than newer players, will not allow you to max out. In fact, I believe this should keep everyone around the level at which you are allowed to start research- default 200!
The set credit reward for everyone, I had suggested will allow the lower players to pull themselves into the fight, too.
Please, present which points you don't like and why, specifically, you don't like them. And sure I will be graduating HS with an Associates and you might not like that, but that has nothing to do with SO Wars.
