about the length of pa rounds

what about implementing a poll for lets say all paid accounts when pa crew feels round may end now and let ppl vote 3 days and decide then whether to keep the round alive or end it

last round was first i play that was good until the end, with always good wars, one side winning this time loosing next time

this round, in case flttv beats wenxcat round is over...

flttv has nearly every gal shared with 3-5 flttv alliances and cant just split up

and wenxcat is the only enemy

though in case wenxcat wins it can be wenxflttv against cat or wenx against catflttv

i know runds should last around same time all because u pay same money etc

but to be honest i´d prefer to pay 5 times a year 7,5 Euro than only 3 times and have rounds that just are boring for the last 1/3

comments pls?

Yes rounds are too long now as it is, this wouldn't be a bad feature.

No i dont think something like that should come.
Once an alliance(or more) are on top.
Most ppl do want it to end.
This already could happen after 6 weeks or sooner.
But it shouldnt go on and on then.
maybe stop it a bit sooner and give a nice havoc ;-)

havoc is by far the worst part of pa imo

better make rounds at least "a bit" shorter and forget havoc but directly strt new rounds payment and start new round 2 weeks after last one got ended

I like the vacation and rest (also during havoc) hehe

Still i dont think making rounds weeks and weeks shorter is a good idea.
Maybe it's easy to pay for you but for many it might be hard.

random planets

a long round

= sucess

lots of wars will break out

alliances will split and remake

cos everyone will be with everyone, they will have to

it will split the whole place apart, perhaps make a few new dominant alliances, liek from many of the current ones, developed from cluster alliances


then there would be making parallels as well

interparallell war

i think they should make 2 versions of PA running side by side, one random one not.

perhaps something for round 8 or 9

Just right in my opinion.

i disagree.
i'd prefer having the players improving it..
that'd mean longer rounds, more stabbing or let's say more ally changes etc ..
every Alliance should base their Galaxys on their own, not sharing too much...
It on us to make it better, not always the creators ..

Cool

I can't resist the temptation to point to my related suggestion to breathe new life into a round that is "over" too soon:

There are already so few players around in the universe....more players is just more fun.
And random should be forced to bring something new again, if after one roun it seems no one likes it, we can go to private again.
Plz give it a try for one round at least...but on a way inactives can't screw your round.

Ahh, how I long for the totally random galaxies....

The only problem with it, is the free players of course.
But we could do something like this:

When a galaxy is created, it is either reserved for free or paying people. It will hold 15 people no matter what.

Then free inactives will not interfere with paid people in their random galaxies.

Then we can all go nuts in alliance politics, break up the mighty fortresses of power-balance and have a go at eachother.
I am not blind to the idea!

people will only claim that due to the lenght of time that it takes to authorize paying accounts people will get bored and leave their planet idle, resulting in lots of idle paid accounts.
As many did this round.


Randoms galaxies should be brought back though.

it seems so


i think it would be much more wiser a "pure random" universe. no distinction of any kind. that way newbies and freebies could learn more, and the alliance stuff would get interesting again.

I would guess one of the following reasons.
a) He thinks hes on GD where spam is ok
b) He want the thread deleted
c) He wants to be my test subject for the ability to ban that us PD mods now have

oh and I wont bother locking the thead yet as i'm intrested to hear his actual reason

He might have posted since then, Karmulian did do a pruning job, not sure how that may have affected his posts
