I can guess who most of the 10 no votes where. |
| Maestro2000 (White Giant) | Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 02:10 pm
I hope the gamemaster offers this discount to stimulate game activity and growth. |
| Blueserpent (Golden Rainbow) | Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 04:07 pm
How would pop at 3gc's stimulate activity?
your doin what u always do...want something for nothing |
| Maestro2000 (Fearless Blue) | Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 04:11 pm
Yoda,
You are an active population trader.
Is it safe to say you are one of the 10? |
| Blueserpent (Golden Rainbow) | Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 04:18 pm
i didnt vote,lol. i looked it up after ur post.
i fail to see how pop at 3gc will help the game.
while these new war lvl are in part good, the restriction on being able to war is killing activity far more than pop value
the old school of thought was if u dont want attacking, pay for wp or learn to defend urself..that has been eliminated...thats whats killed the game
simcountry has always been a learning game and one that takes time,speeding up pop purchasing will change nothing
most of what i enjoyed about this game has either been nerphed or removed
looking at the amount of old players that are either inactive or have left....they dont enjoy its present format either |
| Psycho_Honey | Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 05:34 pm
This will encourage more raiding. As more people think it smart to expand before learning to defend. |
| Josias Jorvick (Little Upsilon) | Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 06:54 pm
if every one in the game voted that should I sell my pop for 3 gc, doesn't mean i will... |
| Spinner (Little Upsilon) | Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 09:18 pm
Where do you find the votes? |
| Maestro2000 | Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 10:19 pm
Wendy were you the second "no" vote? |
| Blueserpent | Monday, December 13, 2010 - 12:02 am
Does it really matter who the F*** voted? |
| Maestro2000 | Monday, December 13, 2010 - 12:51 am
Yoda,
Having a bad day, are you? |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Monday, December 13, 2010 - 12:57 am
I don't even look at voting. It doesn't mean anything except to whiny asshats like you.
Are you still upset that war protection is now cheaper too? |
| Maestro2000 (Golden Rainbow) | Monday, December 13, 2010 - 01:17 am
Oh, the #2 no vote speaks.
Perhaps #3 thru 10 will add their voice in the morning. (USA eastern standard time) |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Monday, December 13, 2010 - 03:28 am
doubt any of them care... |

whats to be known...we know...

Discounting population to 3 coin will encourage economic growth in simcountry and speed up the game.
* Create more countries 'of size' faster/cheaper that can support a war machine. (Or grow and be left alone)
With the cheaper cost players may be more willing to risk their empires in war. (Hey lose a tit, grow another one back.)
Will there be more raiding in the game? Maybe, but so what.
An alternative to the cheap population would be to increase the starting population for countries to 25 million people. |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 02:18 am
"Will there be more raiding in the game? Maybe, but so what."
I doubt your 'so what' attitude is the reason you have level zero on your empires on all worlds.
Raise your war level and drop protection so we can see how long 'so what' lasts. |
| Maestro2000 (White Giant) | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 02:39 am
I'm trying to help you war oriented players with this proposal.
You should embrace it. |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 03:17 am
You couldn't help yourself out of a wet paper bag. |
| SuperSoldierRCP (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 04:40 am
I voted yes
Personally i do think cheap pop from the GM would help but it needs to be offered so many at a time. Tommi and Laguna mass offered GC that killed the market. New players don't have GC so the price should have stayed the same if not increased instead it dropped from 460 per GC to 360. If the GM offers 3 offers 1M pop at a time that wouldn't hurt the market. 3-1M @ 3GC would keep bidding for GM pop small and the player rate would be a steady 3-4GC. Anything more like 6 or more offers would for sure decrease the rate as people would have to under cut the market. |
| Blueserpent | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 01:51 pm
The market price for gold coins hasnt been killed,lol. Just cos u see the price lowering doesnt mean its value has diminished.
@ maestro. How will cheap pop help war players? Big countries are really not the way to go,some of us that have high pop countries find it far harder than with our smaller pop ones to manage both corps and weapons.
If your looking at ways to expand economic growth, its already in place..corp sizes have been increased i dont know how many times lately. |
| Maestro2000 | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 04:44 pm
I'd like to see many players with a 50 million population secure main. (A cash cow)
Second, I'd like to see many players with an additional 2 to 4 countries in the 25+ million population range.
Empires that can support a sizeable military and not be afraid to lose their empire in war.
The key: Cheap population |
| Blueserpent (Golden Rainbow) | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 04:48 pm
Again, how will cheap pop stop someone being afraid of losing their empire?
some of us arent afraid.
econ is what makes u support a large army, not cheap pop.
THE KEY: LEARN ECON PAY FOR UR POP LIKE E1 ELSE |
| Maestro2000 (Golden Rainbow) | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 06:37 pm
Cheaper to replace (Loss a tit, grow another one back) |
| Maestro2000 (Golden Rainbow) | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 06:43 pm
"econ is what makes u support a large army, not cheap pop."
Econ needs people to run the factories. Lots of them. |
| Blueserpent | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 08:18 pm
i'll just shh, cos u have no intention of listening,lol |
| Scarlet | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 09:25 pm
One reason W3C will not lower the price of population is because such action decreases the economic impact of maintaining the population of large countries. |
| Psycho_Honey | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 10:51 pm
next he'll complain that the population market is ruled by 'the tommi'
with the lowered price of gc, population and war protection are now cheaper.
Seems you got your wish before you asked for it. |
| Maestro2000 (White Giant) | Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 11:16 pm
My proposal is targeted to new players in the game, though veterans will also receive the benefit.
My population growth days are mostly behind me now.
The population market is ruled by players like you Wendy. You'll still make coin in the population market in my proposal. |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 12:02 am
Ruled by me? LoL, I'm stripping a country with 9 million llws. That constitutes 'rule' to you? |
| Maestro2000 (Golden Rainbow) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 01:08 am
On average is there any player more active than you in the population market? (Sell side) |
| Blueserpent | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 03:00 am
i find ppl buyin and sellin coins better than the pop market
**CONSPIRACY** market being killed...what was that about tits,Maestro
|
| Maestro2000 (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 03:14 am
lol |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 03:43 am
On average?
I haven't sold pop in maybe 2 real life months before this week. One country? Wow, you are either dense or very misinformed. Your intel is faulty. |
| Scarlet (Golden Rainbow) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 04:21 am

| Maestro2000 | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 04:04 pm
Say what you will.
This could be the greatest game tweak of all time. |
| BaneslayerAngel (Little Upsilon) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 06:46 am
Maestro2000...
in response to the original post:
So now, with them already bottoming out GC and Cash in Direct Trading, now you want them to bottom out Population too?
I remember paying 480-500 and lucky to get 390 in cash per gc..
Now pop, I now even list pop @ 3 or 4..never 5, You should consider patience when adding pop, not buying GM pops for instant growth and waiting a few hrs wont kill you.
or come in chat and ask "anyone have any pop I could get for 3-4 gc 8 times out of 10, someone does. I always do somewhere.
2nd point:
Building an empire, and buying an empire, are two different things. I dont waste my credit card on SC, strip, consolidate, conquer, build econ, sure I have some countries that came pretty well stocked, but most built from scratch, or came with pop, stripped them down and start from scratch with just a decent pop start...
and respectively, It takes a LONG time naturally to get 1M pop growth, (alot less time then it used to a year ago with a few updates they made)
Lucky they dont make it 7 GC..
But yah know, if your tabs getting low, Get a Chase Blueprint card.... :P |
| Serpent (Little Upsilon) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 06:55 am
LOL... Chase Blueprint... at first I thought it said chase a Blueserpent card! |
| BaneslayerAngel (Little Upsilon) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 07:31 am
lmao
that'd come in handy too..but err, reading Blue's posts on this forum..
I think Maestro already pre-denied for that card.
:P |
| Maestro2000 (Fearless Blue) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 05:59 pm
Credit card comment - chuckle
The cheap population will speed the game up and be a great help for new players.
Have not personally bought any population since November 30th. My population growth days are over.(Total November population buy 11 million) |
