Yes but then again USSs gave way bigger advantage than me selling naq does now. And I don't recall USS buyers being massed for it? True it was fixed, but by then it was already too late. At least for most people. But I am giving a chance for those people who couldn't afford USS to be able to compete with those players who did buy a few USSs with a lot less money being spent for it. You surely can't deny those who bought USSs at the beginning have been, since then, in a significant lead.
I don't really bother about whether or not you really do have some important stuff to do, that's your thing.
Some might not, but one can only do one's best to resolve them So you never know
It does create some unbalance to $$ vs non $$ players (but then again there were three lucky people last week, and who knows how much more naq I'll be giving out to lucky people?), but a lot smaller than it used to with USSs at the beginning of the era. Furthermore if money stops going to admin's pocket at a rate as it was at the beginning he'll see he's doing something wrong. Then when he does, he'll try to get more money and he'll realize he has to fix a lot of game's mechanics first. That's when the game will be better for all of us, hence in the long term this contributes to the game wellbeing.

Re: Actual feeding
Jack, usually I respect your views. Your posts are coherent and make logical sense to me. So, out of respect for you, I wanted to post two corrections.
Remember this thread from the beginning of the era?
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=190775
All of the players listed on there who got massed/sabbed were SS/USS buyers. And all but one (Draza was massed by Hippy) were done by me, a non $$-paying player.
Umm, actually no. If you were to spy those players now, you would see what I mean. 3 out of the 4 are in top 20, but only one in top 10. And Draza quit his account.
Some of the non-massed buyers are nowhere near the top: Kikaz stopped playing, Hippy is meditating (though I wouldn't bet against him), and the only reason Akhal passed everyone is that he continued to buy naq and then made a deal with some of the people who mass naq buyers that he would stop and so was spared. By then the damage had been done already.
And right now, even if he were to massed this very moment, he will still win the era because he knows how to play.
For that matter, I wouldn't bet against Kikaz coming in the last 48 hours or even you with your turns and decent UP to make a top finish.

Re: Actual feeding
Yes Abhi, I stand corrected on the first part of your post. You know I don't really pay much attention to what's been going on, but yeah I was in the wrong.
About the second part - I wasn't specific enough so yes, I was wrong in what I said but not so much in what I really meant. What I meant is those that bought USSs/FSSs and have actually utilized them to their full extent (in other words knew what to actually do with such a huge amount of naq to actually benefit from it in the long term, not just to boost their ranks for a short-while) have or would have a huge lead over the others, with which I am sure you'll agree.
Hey you never know what I might do at the end, I doubt anyone counted on me as one of the top finishers last era as I was also selling resources, but I then made a run for it. My priorities, however, still lie with getting me a brand new Fender electric guitar. But then again I am launching Android apps with my friends soon and these things do tend to get you a lot of money

If I had time to play at all I wouldn't have quit with 3x the next highest army.
I'm truly gone gone until probably January now.

Meanwhile in MaYHeM
I rise up at night
I live just inside you
And give you a terrible fright
I walk through the darkness
I lurk under your bed
I live in your wardrobe
I creep up in the shed.
I tiptoe through the corridor
I follow you anywhere
I rip your braveness apart
And never ever care
I am fear so don't come near..
