Owned is mixed with Legendary as GOO, SS won't mess with this affair...and what do we have left then...Elysian...not like they could do anything...that's pretty much all the Quantum alliances at this moment?...
Any other suggestions...or is she planning to X-server?
What does S_S stand for btw?

SS and Elysian arent exactly big alliances... I wouldnt call 8 members and 9 members a big alliance.
Owned has 23 and and Legendary has 25...
Thats not to count that 67 of my members are skipping this wave and 25 of Legendarys members are skipping this wave...
They may hold some power, but she said big not powerfull...

Kikaz...I don't say they are big...I just say they are the only Quantum alliances out there...to point out to the fact that there really aren't any quantum alliances going to help her..and you really don't need to say Legendary and Owned are big...I know.

Yeah this wave is really quiet lol. Have all of them been like this recently?
I remember back in the good old days of quantum, there were hundreds of active people trying hard to win. What happened to the good old days?

The big dogs started trying hard to mass everyone 3 waves ago, and anyone who couldn't handle it basically started quitting...

I've said it before and i'll say it again, game went downhill after trading got removed and we lost our 5 MT's per week. Not enough turns to go to war nowadays, every time i mass someone this wave i'm effectively throwing away 700AT's, that's about 45 attacks, even at 10 mill per hit that's 450 million naq wasted, then there's the repairs and new mercs on top of that. So you tell me how many massings you'd be willing to dish out when you're looking at those losses?

A lot of the big players of the past are gone now. I remember when I joined there was a huge group of extremely good players, nowadays it seems like there's only a handful of those left. Granted there are some new guys who've grown to power, myself included, but it doesn't make up for those who have since disappeared.

Depends on ur massing passion

No it doesn't Jack, when we had trading and 5 MT's i could mass almost repeatedly and still have unlimited AT's for farming. Now we have a fixed pool of AT's for the wave which means any used massing are wasted compared to someone using them for farming. Meh, i used to use 20k a day quite often, that's not far off the entire AT's for this wave used every 24 hrs.
Oh well, at least main still has unlimited AT's, which is why my time is being spent on main far more of late.

Borek...that's the point of going back in time eh?... This has been my first wave of Quantum, and I'd say I'm doing fairly well...
I'm already looking forward to next wave, hopefully it'll turn out even better then this one, also can't wait to see how the 20k AT's a day is going to work out ;P

To be honest i doubt i'll play quantum anymore, for all the good changes, and there have been many, jason just doesn't seem to understand how much fun it was when we had trading. Maybe it's deliberate and designed to get more people playing Main, whatever the reason is for the changes the net result is much less active players in Q.
As for the 20k AT's working out then it seems obvious to me that those days will never return, if they do then i might give it another try, otherwise i'll just play to help out some friends, assuming any of them keep playing
All that banning trading has done is let the cheaters prosper. I mean people had feeders back in the good old days also, but since you could trade then it didn't matter, they got fed, rest of us could easily make up for it with some trading and farming. Can't keep up with feeders atm and i'm not the sort of person who likes to abuse other players good intentions for my own personal benefit...

The crux of your argument, that feeders are impossible to keep up with, is 100% true, and is the most antagonizing aspect of this game. If you haven't checked out my suggestion for next wave, I suggest you do. It's got basically everything good about quantum and nothing bad. I can't possibly see it being a bad wave and I really wish admin would use it. The best part is that all the code is there, it's just a matter of time-activating it, so it'll be really easy to code up!
