I need input. Most of the game's problems are downstream from player count, so my focus is currently on recruiting and on boarding. Buffy had kindly offered to help with advertising, but sadly I belive that offer has been rescinded. I'm assuming the responsibility falls to me again, but I'm still hoping to get some feedback.The landing page is not welcoming, so I'm going to overhaul it. What does it need? I want the login parts to stay at the top so nobody has to scroll, but there should be something else. So far I'm got a short description of the game and a link to a quick start guide. Anything else?

To all of you who are attending Mare Fair, please take a moment to consider the Stasis option. Stasis exists for exactly this kind of eventuality. Your nation will be exempt from all ticks. It will neither produce nor consume resources. It will be safe. There is no cost, aside from the lost production. You can exit stasis any time after 24 hours, whenever you have time to play again. As an added bonus, your nation will stop your nation from aging, stretching out newbie protection. You probably don't want to be invaded while at Mare Fair.

Some of you are getting really ambitious with userscripts, so I'm adding a new rule.User scripts are permitted, unless they change the game state. Reading from the game is completely fine. Writing to it without actual player input is not. Don't automatically send armies, messages, deals etc.Also, don't poll the server too frequently. If you're running your script every second you're going to be flagged as malicious traffic. To stay on the safe side, don't poll more than once per minute.In case of a grey area, ask first.

Reminder to all nations that a gasoline combustion facility is less efficient at using oil than a normal oil combustion facility. It's 10 oil -> 8 gas -> 12 energy vs 8 oil -> 12 energy. I'd say only use GCFs if you REALLY wanted to minimize sat loss, or have reached the OCF cap of 5. Looking at you burros using gas combustion facilities for whatever reason (and subsequently demanding more oil)

I keep hearing the same criticisms about the game, and they're all downstream from player count. The market is dead? Yes, and having more players should fix that. Free Market is bad? Yes. If the market was alive it would be better, so we need more players. TNN has an unfair advantage from their preexisting connections and experience? Yes. And if there were enough players they'd have more opposition. My primary goal is to recruit more players. However, previous recruitment attempts, both mine and those of previous hosts, have gone poorly. The landing page is meant to be an attempt at making the game more appealing to outsiders. We'll have to have SOMETHING. Somebody has kindly offered to make one, and I hope they pull through. If not, we'll be revisiting it. In the meanwhile, quite a few people quit after making accounts. This is often attributed to confusion. We need a guide that holds your hand long enough to at least understand what you're looking at.https://4clop.org/gettingstarted.phpRevisions would be appreciated. They MUST be specific and actionable. If it's vague, it's useless. If you want to completely rewrite one, feel free! I'm more than willing to put good work in the game. Just remember the goal.It's telling a new player the absolute basics, and assuming they need their hand held.

You know it does come off pretty opportunistic that you're going after the one isolated vassal but ignoring an entire alliance of them. If it's your CB and all, why ignore them and only go after the weak and isolated? Are you scared to uphold your stance against an actual threat or are you just trying to justify profiting off weaker players with no support? Are you just trying to salvage your image by trying to make them attack you first so you can cry and say you're the victim even though TNN is the one aggressively pushing hostility and danger exclusively at newer, weaker, and more isolated players with activity checks?

I think DV genuinely has autism or something. Read the room bro, last time everyone was saying "TNN are oldfag niggers, they will warmonger against everyone with their advantage!" and you warmongered first tick. You can present as many excuses as you want, it doesn't help when you give an excuse every single time you wardec on tick 1, it's still wardecing on tick 1. Then you did "no further provocations" after killing 1TB because your stockpiles were drained and the others had gotten their shit together and started scaling, so you didn't have any easy wars left. It doesn't matter if you tooootally didn't have any other war plans. In fact I even believe you, but fact is that you had no other options anyway, so it's not some kind of point in your favor.Right now you're doing the exact same thing. Half the game still remembers TNN the warmongers that literally the entire game allied to kill afterwards (to the point that, may I remind everyone, you lot ragequit in a single tick after everyone finally pooled their prepared resources together into the army against you), the other half are new this iteration and had only heard stories. Well congratulations, you've just demonstrated to everyone that >TNN will wardec you tick 1 is not just a meme or propaganda.>oh but the solar vassal land was promised to us 2000 years ago if you read this ancient history-- Read the room you retard, nobody else knows or cares about that, all everybody knows is that you're an oldfag discord tranny cabal and don't hesitate to wardec on anyone you don't like.Everyone who played two years ago knows what a CEF unipolar world looks like. They buy DNA. For a good price, and without military intervention. I'm sure all the independents are quaking in their boots and scrambling to prevent that future, because TNN "we totally don't blob we promise except when we can pull out a convenient excuse for the invasion every single time" is so much nicer to have as a superpower.

I've been asked for clarification on rule 4, specifically if you can give your nation away when quitting the game. You may.The intended purpose of rule 4 is to prevent people from farming nations and building empires without conflict. Without it, the meta would be to let your alliance kill you the instant you turn 21 and spawn in more land until the empire penalties become intolerable.The intent is not to make players feel obligated to stick around after losing interest. Besides, it would be pretty hypocritical to prohibit that since Maresaw kept the land of some players who got bored.Please let me know before doing this so I know what's going on. And don't try to game the system by "quitting" repeatedly and coming back. That's just nation farming but slower.Rule 4 really needs a revision, I hate it so much.
