Letter to Santa (Gamemaster): Wishlist for 2010 (Little Upsilon)

Berand has a point: you spend a lot of time building stuff in this game, and it all gets destroyed fairly quickly if you're not actively maintaining it. Where are the monuments to the great players? It used to be that when you deregged a country it kept its name--there are still a handful of "Laguna Spanked Me" countries around on FB. What trace of their presence would remain of anyone if they were to quit now...maybe a few corp names would linger for a while?

I think it would be nice to have a region permanently named after you if you took all the countries in it.

Or, how about if you get into the Hall of Fame 3x, you get your name added to the naming protocol for corps, or for c3s. Hey, somehow Barney managed to get a series of c3s named after himself (The Grand State of Barnea, etc). I want to be able to get "The Independent State of JoJoland" into the rotation!

You said it, Manny

Oh, 2 Jo's posting within 15 minutes apart.
So much for the new identity of British Jo transformed in JoJo.

I guess there's two of you now.

P.S. I meant to his palace building is completely useless, not my idea of more logistics which will eventually include transit (ie. trains).

Logistics is not limited to trains, trains are part of the bigger picture. Jozi reckoned that.

Ok.

First of all spartacus, it's Berand, thank you. ; )

Secondly, I was quick, so I thought, to point out that this project might require outsized resources. This apparent self-deprication was designed to squash off-hand dismissals, like your own, but apparently, that was a fail.

Third, I would agree that the current city depiction is largely fluff and not particularly useful.

I would reiterate, however, that it would be both very useful, and very appealing to players to have some depiction of status in the game.

For instance, A Presidential Complex with:

A DOD, that could show how many countries were conqured(sure that may be clear from Empire size, but some may have been bought, or some let go at some point), how many wars fought, how many wars won/lost.

A Treasury, that could show (Empire)GDP, budget breakdowns per department, and the economic trends of the empire.

An Interior department that could depict population trends, social welfare, and the like.

Currently, I have seen folks amass scores from each world on Population, War Assets, Productivity per capita, etc. It seems folks do this on their own, and when they have the time. It also seems to me, that other folks really appreciate it when this is done. I know for myself, it gave a quick overview as to who is really experienced/active in playing the game, and what their play styles may be, which in turn, is a big help in assessing their advice here on the boards, and to see what they think is important for doing well at the game.

Now, wouldn't it be nice if the game did that for us, in a pleasing and gratifying way for all the players?

Sure, there may be other priorities, but I think most of us would appreciate this, quite a bit.

PS. I still want an Imperial Palace, but..thats negotiable.

Sorry BeraNd.
Your proposal is still completely and totally useless.

Hmmm is this thread popping up, because I am being inspired to write my letter to Sim Santa????

woah what the hell. Bump a good old thread why don't you lol

I don't remember how many C3s I conquered, but I know it was 90+ for sure, and probably ended at ~120.
I miss those days. It was kind of entertaining leaving my mark around.

Why did this thread come up, btw? The last post was January 2010 and it was like in the top 5 list....baiting me to post. ha ha ha ha

@ Laguna, I suppose you are a fan of doling out whoopin's. There is still a country KissiStrip 2 I think registered to my old name, KissOfDeath, while the account is gone. :P Coincidence? I THINK NOT! KissOfDeath was meant to live on!!! Crafty, does it still exist? I think it was a neighboring land of yours.

There are two ways of doing this, but the most likely one is that it was an authentication error that bumped the thread and it was subsequently deleted.

Well I was writing my letter to Santa....... until I realized that something was amiss!!!

Still no trains 3 years later?

And what happened to the space market? There is never any demand at all for any space related products, boosters, rockets, whatever...

City maps...does anyone use them, do newer players even know they are there?

Selenium. What was that all about?

Professional soldiers, I dont realy know about these, but I never hear of anyone using or discussing them. Are they a good addition? Will the mobile units go the same way?

Alot of effort on W3cs behalf has been put into some pretty useless functions.

All I ask for is a modern forum and chat system!

I am a strong advocate for the modern forum and chat system as well. Should I start a poll? :P

I only want it for an 'ignore' feature. You would be first on the list Jan :P

Been waiting for Tourney world for years...

Pfft, what would your day be like without my non-stop chatter about Shoes, Crafty? lol :P
