I think I'm just going to rename "Alliance Talk" to "Alliance Trolling"
Same acronym, more accurate reflection of the typical content.
Will that change come before or after the much anticipated Facebook implementation that will breathe new life into the game?
Give us something new and I bet you wouldn't see the same trolling over and over
/end game dev troll
probably before, because changing a forum name takes 5 seconds and doing a proper facebook implementation requires a complete redesign and a big user experience exercise that takes would take a team of people working on it full time weeks to do.
right now the game does not do a good job of getting new users engaged in playing the game and that's been a big hurdle no one has had time to deal with properly. the community isn't stepping up to help to that effect either despite numerous attempts (some of which I tried to encourage, others were by other folks, a few were more organic). things like getting started guides, walkthroughs, basic strategy lessons, things like that would be beneficial to a new user to help get them from "ok... so I'm on the main page..." to actually building an effective country. that kind of stuff doesn't require a developer to work on nor any privileged access. this is not a new concept in this community :p
the bottom line is that the ppl who are committed to this game seem far more committed to killing others within the community and maintaining their close knit group rather than working toward the greater good for the benefit of the greater EE community.
but regardless, stfu, trife. :)
