Re: A question for Admin
when it says "speaking as mod" it is when text is in that color... when it is regular white text, (or any other color, except chosen mod color) then it is spoken as a player and regular forum member...


"Great holy armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all who embrace evil. In the name of the gods, Browsers shall be changed to carry the internet out amongst the peoples and we will spread Firefox to all the unbelievers. The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."
Curious about our color? Feel free to ask...

Re: A question about rapid ascencion
it was put in to stop a bug. an abused bug that got 30+ banned...
since i had to put a timeframe in betwen ascensions (see above) i figured this amount was ok.
more ascensions are coming out now anyway, so the 'quick ascend' may not be --in the end -- the best approach.
times change. rules changes. the environment changes. it just does. it has to. sometimes you 'win' sometimes not... thats the down side of an admin/team that updates the game
i am ok with being shouted at - so that is ok too
and here is your answer... short form: "it was needed, so it was done".
as for why not announced, it is now (see game udpates).
and for the one person I talked to in chat, denied refunding UU lost to raid after preparing for ascension (that the icon DID appear for) then was told 'ascension not possible' -- to them I am every more sorry ...
yet the action was right in the long view... and that is what i must take, and accept the bumps on the way, smooth them out where i can, and accept the consequences where i cannot...
so say we all.
(ok - just me, but it is what it is, and so it is....)

Now I have another question directly to the man responsable for this "minor" update (btw i never bothered to get the acces to ascended server).
How come this happened? I mean it was good enough for all these years and now you suddenly cannot do it again. Everywhere there is talk about how somebody is to catch up with some of the players and on the other hand you limit our ascencion so you can reach lg almost half a year after your first ascencion?
Was this really neccesary? Maybe the PPT thing was abused but that is just how the game was designed. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but that is the point when you are accumulating 5 g&r when you are ranked among top players and 10 g&r when ranked 1.? To ascend quick... You could just require 1 market turn with 1 ppt left and the thing would be setteled. In these days you need minnimum 3mil disposable units and 2-3trill to get the neccesary rank. And not many of the players can afford that few times in a row.
This is my first shout to Admin and I appreciate if I get the response. Why this thing was implemented? Why was I, the player, not informed about this and wasted all this resources which I wouldn't have to? This bugs me alot and it is just a tip of the iceberg. I am sorry, but all these things that happened lately, all of it goes to the direction where old players profit the most. Sure they have the advantage becouse of their participation time, but squeezing the circle around newer players more and more is just lame. It just make me wanna quit....

Don't make me use this!!!
