** QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: How into this game are you? Activity has dropped significantly over the past few weeks, with several players dropping out or just disappearing.

It is a lot of work to do updates for this game, and if the players are not all that into it, I’d rather not put in the hours it takes to do the updates. I know that there has been some time between updates, so this may be contributing to the malaise, but I feel that this game is sliding into inactivity.

Please give me your thoughts on this today, as it will let me know if I should even continue with the current update.

Thanks!

How into this game are you?

I am into but i cant RP very much, when nothing happens.

There is not a war or an evnt so i can RP. Only building factories. That is the reason i dont RP as much as i did before a few updates.

 

[spaceman98]

I am interested, but currently have little to RP as well. I forgot this existed, but it is good to have it back!

 

[Frozen In Ice]

I am still interested.

 

[kiwitt]

I am still interested. The big gaps between updates does not help.

 

[Gem Hound]

Still interested.

 

[mechaerik]

Still interested; i'm just kinda out of RP ideas. But new ones are being brewed, like coffee.

 

[Mosher]

Still interested

 

[BSmith1068]

I'm doing the update. Thanks guys.

 

[Optical]

Still interested, just waiting.

6 IC into Ganges
1 IC into science
5 IC into factories in Bengal

Two things on this: First, factories are 2IC each, so you miss-allocated 1IC. Second, you don’t fully own Bengal, so you can’t put factories there.

I hate to make an example of you, but I have to. You just lost your 5IC.

**EVERYONE: Please pay attention to your orders and the rules… kthxby**

Borjiginia
8 IC
4 IC to core Sinkiang
4 IC into a factory in Mongolia and one in Sinkiang

Another example I am afraid. You need 5 factories as well as the investment to make a province a core.

 

[Optical]

Oops.

Serves me right, I guess.

 

[SouthernKing]

Please NPC Byzantium. Sorry, I just dont have time for this anymore.

 

[BSmith1068]

Metis - 13 IC
6 IC to coring the Yukon Territory
2 IC to Expansion in Oregon
2 IC to a factory in the Midwest
2 IC to a factory in Saskatchewan
1 IC to NAFL Cup

Another example regarding coring (this one is not so bad). Technically the investment (50%) is 6.5 IC. Since you have allocated only 6 IC, I have banked it towards your total. No core this turn, but another smaller investment next turn will get you there.

Please note, that the total core cost is based on the turn you get the core, so next turn when you have 14 IC your total investment required would be 7IC. You’ll need to allocate 1IC to finish the job.

 

[Yoshiegg737]

Oh shoot, I probably did the same thing as Gem Hound, then

 

[BSmith1068]

Yup - I just saw that... you have 7 IC invested towards the core.

EDIT: 1IC more next turn will do it for you as well.

 

[DroopyTofu]

I'm interested, just really busy with finals, which end tomorrow. But when I do have time to RP, there's nothing going on in the thread so I don't feel motivated to write anything.

 

[spaceman98]

Wait, did I seriously write Bengal?! I ment bombay

Well, the IC loss will be something I can RP later...

 

[MaxaTheGreat]

I'm still interested, just not enough to write elaborate RP. Although it takes a lot to make me that interested.
