Re: Small fix to the Game(MAIN and ASCENDED)
Should have been made that way from the beginning. This was pointed out to Jason in the beginning and he didnt do anything about it. It needs to be fixed/addressed, but I'd rather more urgent aspects be corrected first.

Hey TM. Give Jaosn time. He's trying to fix all the bugs in main. Hopefully he'll focus on ascended afterwards.

Far, Far to abusable
not to mention if Jason is going to refuse to give unascended accounts the chance to compete without being ascended its forcing you to play 2 seperate servers and many just dont want that because they don't have time, or dislike the game.

Total time i spend on ascended is 5 mins tops per day (login 2-3 times per day to change dmu to lf)
no one needs to spend any time on ascended if they want to be undescendable

Make deascention possible and I'll guarentee your ascention habits will change. Besides, I don't like the idea of "Educators" deciding to run out lonewolf accounts by deascending them repeatedly until they are no longer ascended, and yes we all know it will happen.

Re: Small fix to the Game(MAIN and ASCENDED)
Some strong to moderately strong alliances would also sharpen their teeth on some of the really weak alliances. I'm especially thinking on those who have one or two ascended players who are the cornerstones of their alliances.
There is a whole brutal game out there amongst <2mil army sizes. I remember a chat with a girl who was busy massing an enemy of hers - both accounts were smaller than 500k. They wouldn't have a chance to stay ascended if descension is permanent.

Doubtful
anyways for anyone who doesn't want to loose their status there's always vac mode, or turning to daimon (which is total crap but still an option)

This comes into the category of most unreasonable arguments concering these discussions.
For the alliances to expend effort on the really weak alliances means that the really weak alliance did something to annoy the big alliance (which would be the case in a normal game enviroment, not a broken one).
If said alliance did something to the big one to piss them off, then tough luck, maybe next time you won't pick a fight you cant win

I agree.
I still don't understand why he insists on try to force 2 servers. If people don't want to play, they will find a way not to. He could have just put in some techs, that were weaker, but comprable to ascended accounts. Daimons losses are far to high to be a valid choice.

I have my own opinion about jason's, and a number of other admins on other games, ability of creating balanced and acceptable game mechanics.
