Re: State of the game!
I think these are all fair complaints(!?)

Auto war: I'm not sure what this feature was ever meant to accomplish. If someone could explain it to me, I'd be glad to listen. Otherwise, I have no objection to removing it.

XP: Agreed, XP was overnerfed. I'm hoping it'll be buffed for next round. More offensive stats would help too (he said, foreshadowing).

Quests: 100% agreed. Game mechanics should be useful for their own sake. I'd rather see an underused feature with its own point than a feature that's propped up by another feature.

Stats: I'm offering (one of?) the stats for next round. They'll be pretty offensive. Everyone I've spoken to in the stats TG seems to agree that's the right direction.

Buddy packs: moving to 5 [edit]6-man BPs was a bad idea. Everyone and their dog could tell you that larger BPs means fewer BPs, fewer BPs means fewer galaxies, fewer galaxies means more random planets per galaxy. I'm strongly in favour of moving to 4-planet BPs, maybe even 3-planet. 3-planet plus late signup is a middle road, but late signing has its own problems, as we all know.

Cheating: I'm not sure how the game mechanics can make cheating less strong. This is a game of cooperation, after all. Cooperation is messy and communication is hard, so anyone who manages 2 planets is going to do better than 2 people working together. I will say that I'm disappointed by how little the MHs seem to be doing about it, as well as at the complete lack of repercussions from the community.


P.S. I hope this doesn't unleash the forces of AD, but... what happened to CT?
