i've always thought that as the community shrunk a higher percentage of the more serious (i.e., angrier) people kept playing and drove out others. this would be compared to back in e2025 when there were a lot more n00bs and people who enjoyed the game casually or as a time waster to balance out the super competitive people.

my comment was a bit harsh though and probably not the best thing to say as an admin regardless so I apologize. it was intended to come from me as a long-time player rather than an admin but I can understand how it looks. the admin stuff is a whole different ballgame with like 99.9% supporting what's going on so we can't really complain about that. We love the community. I work on the game to support the community; I'd rather code a new game if I cared about mechanics/gameplay more than the community. Or restart National Interests (Jiman will know that one :p).

Eclisod was always fun though, I hope he starts playing again. the game is actually a LOT better now, but with the turn structure FS's are really powerful on this server. I would recommend trying out express with the advanced GDI to get used to the mechanics. :)
