LOL at vile's hypocrisy. You're saying that you don't want a spark change because it'll force you to do more logistics and I have to really laugh at that.
I agree with a lot of the post's I've read in here. Sparks were hugely overpowered when STC owned everything, and although they've been nerfed somewhat, they're still too easy to be everywhere at once.
I'm fine with how many sparks you can set, what I'm not fine with is that you can spark instantly to each one forever and ever till you run out of money(which would be a loooong time for most people). There's no commitment required. Which also ties in with the fact that you can have an alt at any of the 3 alpha II's to watch enemy movement so long as you have enough guys who're ready at a moment's notice to log in and spark wherever they have to. Effectively allows for an entire alliance to be off playing/doing something else and control everything with 1 guy and 3 screens. If that sounds right and good to you, you must be a cir member.
danger stranger "We don't want to own the game." Bull-f-ing-crap. Not only do you and your alliance-mates actively seek to do just that, you're also gleefully doing it, and whenever someone brings it up you try to make it seem like they're just too weak to do anything about it. You've had the opportunity to prove for months that you don't want to own all the outposts. You could have reset relations at any time.
The spy thing is the biggest detractor to games like this in my opinion. If you have to resort to using spies to achieve victory, what does that say about your ability to fight and win without them? It say's to me that you're not confident you have the ability to win if you don't - and that you're afraid you won't win without them. It's unfortunate, but pixels are srs bisness to some of you.
@ vile - the only places you pick and choose to defend is places you know you can win a fight.

^ Zoom, this is why your game has so few players. You've let this one ruin it for everyone else who isn't just like him (allied to him). It's your choice to let people like that be your voice to the community, and I'd be willing to bet that he'll laugh about it on TS with his little band of sycophants gleefully about how he's ruining your game. Just sayin, cause I've heard it straight from the horses mouth.
