your ATTACK button

your RANKING BY RELATIONS button

and you are led to a list (in my case a very very long list) of those enemies upon whom you have declared WAR.

I use this list for farming and raiding, and I suspect many others do too

At the bottom of each page are TWO BUTTONS

one says [SET ALL RELATIONS TO NEUTRAL (BE SURE)]
and the other is worse, as it sets all officer relations to Neutral as well

On several occasions and particularly whilst using this laptop with its stupid pressure mouse and its insane double touch = left click feature, one of these hideously dangerous buttons is clicked accidentally, inadvertently, or incompetently... or as with this laptop, automatically

On the Market screen, there is a little tick box, an ARE YOU SURE box. I suggest that both these dangerous buttons, although protected by TEXT need the addition of these tick boxes to prevent unintentional usage

Been there, done that before :lol:

Great idea, we really need the second chance. Its damn annoying after putting hours into a real good farm list to see it go soo easily with one false click

all the work i do is off a laptop man, i share the pain >.<

although, i have never pressed the relation button accidently till last week, when i lost my 19 pages of A grade farming... went through the logs for AGES, got 7 pages back and the very next day done it again :?

now im down to a 5 page farm list... it sucks :(

I'd love to see some stories about people who have accidentally upgraded planets, (1 click, fool!)...

and maybe some people who have set war with all members of an alliance, or Total War on someone like Jedi...
(1 clicky... :P)

Delete All Messages?
also 1 click...
I'm thinking of too many mean and angry smilies to pick any single one... :lol:

see the middle of post... :mrgreen:

Delete All from User X?
still 1 clicky...
not cool...
esp. if User X = Commander Big-X or AboutToMassU-X

All Covert and AntiCovert Levels... meh...
Levels costing weeks worth of naq... not cool.

MS Tech Levels... ever hit the button when you didn't mean to?
It's a great way to sabotage your bank with one click... :P

Oh, and the Mother Lode:

Market Special Functions
1) Use ALL market turns (3 quantities) to make a planet. The outcome is always a suprise...

2) Use 1 market turns (1 quantities) to generate 3 days worth of power for your Merlins Planetary Dimensional Shifting Device (MPDSD).

3) Use ALL market turns (3 quantities) to acquire a name change. Identities are not cheap...

4) Use ALL market turns (3 quantities) in exchange for 1,360 non-transferrable turns...

5) Use ONE market turn in exchange for an increase of 10 percent of your natural 'bank' size. For you, as of last turn, this is:


yea, that's the way to mess up your weekend, or your war...
lose even 1 market turn, and your would only have two special functions left, of 5... might even cost you a PPT...

and with just 1 CLiCKY!!

GRRR...

and now for some of my favorite smilies... that demonstrate how I feel...
:evil: :twisted: #-o [-X [-( ](*,) :smt011 :smt012 :smt013 :smt017 :smt018 :smt019 :smt021 :smt067 :smt075 :smt076 :smt092 :smt093 :smt084 :smt096 :smt099


Just some of several reasons that I have suspended direct purchases to Kingdom Games...
it takes too long to fix the obvious stuff. :P

:: goes off muttering about the messed up and antiquated private message system>> autodelete inbox messages with no warning, losing my Saved Mail on ascension, a block pm sender feature that don't work, Sent Mail with bogus characters all over the place...

the inability to communicate with my own officers or Commander while I am in perg... (screw the so-called storyline. nobody ever liked being cut off from their friends who don't have a messenger with offline messages),

the still-messed up personal logs,

AND the inability to send ingame resources to certain people living in Hawaii and Europe, because I, never having been west of Kansas or east of Maine, managed to share the same IP address with these friends...

then we get to the Main Forums...
the inability of the Main Forums staff to even understand that I want access to my old Forums account, let alone understand that I can prove I'm the owner... after several lengthy attempts... GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

the messed up mail system on the Main Forums...
My 2 ever-pending Usergroup memberships...
the inability of most players to get mad without getting vulgar...
and the caving of Kingdom Games, on letting them, in the GC, etc.

only vulgarity here is miniature masking that is found within KG's own smilies... :mrgreen:

ends muttering... ::

As a security option: A check BOX would be imperative.
I've did it twice, set all to neutral and had a lot to work. And had over 40 pages. :(
Now it's empty again. A lot of work to do tomorrow.
So pls take this in ur minds when U make the update.
Well i felt stupid when it happens the 1st time. But, now the 2nd time. :( I was doing this before I go to sleep. So this can be also an attention issue. But for more security put that Box pls.

Also, this list shouldn't reset If U Ascend. :)

definitely a good idea to make it hard to accidentaly set relations to neutral. happened to me and it sucks. a conformation (tick box) would be ideal.

I to no the pain of a clumpsy CO, why does a CO need such a horrid and useless power, my relations are mine and my nosy CO needs not touch them, the second button should just be wiped from existence
