Alternatives

Do you think I should find someone else to host, or do you people rather just have it the way it is? (really really slow updates)

or some other option

I was just talking to bacon about this.

The UUU is really slowing everything down. I'm pretty sure most people just want to blow shit up. Instead of diplomacy, why can't we just invade and not have to mass trade with independents?

Not really. There's events going on in many areas. Manchuria, Caribbean, and Australia to name a few.

I think we should just go on as is, to much has happened at this point and we should just hold out until you are done with school, or start over from scratch......... jk

I meant taking areas by force instead of diplomacy to take those areas. It seems battles are just stats, while diplomacy takes a while.

...so wait, so you think that, from an OoC standpoint, having BB run like five or six battles at once would be faster than having BB post a few times in the UUU now and again?

Anyway, my previous offer stands.

No. It would save him time from having to make tons of flavors for independent conversion posts. The charter is preventing that because anyone who did that would be punished.

Not only would military expansion take longer than diplomacy, but it would require consistently more effort per update for BB.

How so? Battles are rolls of the dice. Diplomacy requires RP and flavoring. Diplo can last far longer than battles.

Diplomacies are easier than battles because I don't have to determine ranges and placements of units, in addition to determining casualties.


That is beside the point of the subject of this thread though. What I meant to say is that I'm not really interested in everything that happens, and those things are therefore tendious to update, but i ahve to cause it's fair

Are you kidding me? Battles aren't just rolling dice. Battles are determining if a tactic is viable, rolling to see just how well it is executed, and then making flavor for the post and deciding losses on both sides. The battle in Thailand went on literally started on March 29 and is still going on right now. That's over a month and a half.

Hm. Well, what would make it interesting?

I doubt production is ever going to be very interesting.

If BB gets a co-mod it could help greatly but said mod needs to be trustworthy and not currently be playing.

i still think a mod for all diplo/annexing exc. would take a load off you back, but it would have to be someone not bias...

or a current player can drop out

I think you should hire someone else to do battles only (since they seem to be the problem). If you give it to someone else, I foresee a ton of problems that will likely end the game.

I believe a second or maybe a third mod is needed(to put where you want) since as of now you have a very heavy load to handle

I'm in favor of a new mod to handle battles and events and the like. simply because this game is getting stagnant. i hate to say it, but i agree with lax. ...it hurts to say.

I think you should add two mods, make them handle aspects such as WU votes or diplomacy.

Now the thing is, who's going to help him?
