[quote]There is only a few corporations owning all the media and Rupert is by far not the largest. People would use this "owning to much media" argument to dismantle Rupert's empire and put the media into even fewer hands. Dumbest argument yet IMHO.[/quote] How so? its only a dumb argument if in fact the consolidation of the media continues. Personally I hope that all his children would fight to tear his empire apart so that it is in many more hands, the more difficulty lega

[quote who="Mecha-Lenin" reply="12" id="2966773"]Really bad film... Hey, didn't they all die in the end? No wait, protagonist runs away with bunch of peasants. [/quote] Great film! I enjoyed it because it was something different, hollywood usually puts out a lot of crap, fast and the furious, transformers...anything advertising cars/military excessively...the new tron movie...most of the harry potter movies, spiderman... The ideals espoused in that movie
its all hearsay, the devs should just ban the CD key of the person who did it. what a lowlife! lol.
na i'm perfectly sane, so go right on ahead and label me. Look, i'm still here. Anyways, you can't face the argument so backing down this way makes you seem like you haven't lost any face. Nothing nutty about it, just learn some law. Murdoch wants to come to the US for whatever reason, and destroy our freedom of press via centralizing our news media, directly hurting our republic. Perhaps you need to read some more history instead of become
don't refer to yourself in the 3rd person, its creepy
No confusion whatsoever. I am quite clear, you seem to be the one who has a problem with what i'm stating. You seem to think that everything i state is intended to be a fact, which is untrue. I have an opinion which can be backed up with common sense, truth, and some facts if you want to get into the fact game. but in all reality facts can be changed, altered, covered up, and manipulated, so I take many facts with a grain of salt unless I have some first hand knowl
i don't think its the game's internal clock at all, and there are plenty of ways to create time lags in networks. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are a few hacker's who are screwing with the game and its network infrastructure using it to their advantage. What annoying lil pieces of shit.
well the thing is I consider anyone not born in the USA not a US citizen. Our country has been too kind to immigrants in the past, and that kindness is being repaid with subversive attempts on our sovereignty. I have no problem with foreigners visiting the US, but if they want to live here they should have to deal with hard conditions. I can't stand the new type of complaining immigrant that is complaining themselves into power via minority protections. The

[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="14" id="2967604"]So far you're the only person to have ever reported a problem like this as far as I know. Did you guys try a fresh install?[/quote] I have had the same issue on ICO, speed settings are going crazy in some games. I am going to watch to see if I can find a culprit.
Does Murdoch have enough money to buy of the infallible police, to hire a hit on a guy that is a serious threat to him? Yes. He is guilty by circumstance. Given his reputation and career, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he was behind it. But hes got enough cash to hide any evidence that turns up as well. People with the power tend to use that power. People can hope but I don't think there will be a "Murdoch behind bars" headline anytime
[quote who="Pbhead" reply="3" id="2970513"]Pbhead feels stupid.[/quote] its okay man we aren't all perfect....i screwed up X-rebirth and typed X-reunion as a fanboy thread instead...man did I feel like an ass! lol
I noticed this as well, this is a bug, and I for one hate it. Everything else about the game seems to be going faster as well. I can't even retreat my halcyon the moment an enemy force enters the grav well before it dies. I have always been able to do this...and now its all screwed up. I never asked for this type of increased speed, and we got our "requests" answered when the speeds were increased in diplomacy. Personally I believe the ICO serve
Oh i've looked, when he chats it looks exactly like the real kbroke, except hes not on my friends list. hes screwing the game up. Only way to tell the difference is that the real KB has 2k + games played, the imposter has 3
There are now 2 kbrokes on ICO, and i think that might have something to do with why it is going all to hell. Fix this soon if you can! the game is unplayable online at the moment. Thanks, Carpetbomb Later addition: I also cannot log onto ironclad anymore, perpetually disconnected. I hope its because the server has been taken offline and the guy who made the fake kbroke is being permanently banned.
Can't wait to test the new pacts, thank you for making diplomacy more tactically accessible! Also, expect some lum spamming, i've gotta test out how effective they are now :)
On the join games screen on ICO it would be extremely helpful to add a feature that would allow you to join that game's chat easily without having to type it in. If you can't join the game, just select the game of interest and click the "join chat" option. I don't know if this was meant to hinder spammers, but it is annoying having to type in manually every game's chat room. another small fixes i can think of at the moment is: Making passwords and
I agree with CoBBQ, advent need SOME sort of early economic advantage. I would think that a new low tier research technology that would enhance crystal production, or tweak it so that advent upgrades for crystal are more effective then any other race. The illuminator still is a good ship when used properly, but allowing it to focus fire would be a great advantage. Tech 4 illum upgrade to allow them to turn side beams off and do full damage through the front of the ship and
I would give advent earlier and more effective healing capability, and perhaps a small economic tweak to give advent SOME economic advantage in the early game....maybe a research that gives them better crystal production then other races, since TEC is great at getting creds, vasari never seem to run out of metal (usually) and everyone currently needs crystal. Decent, earlier healers would add a lot to the early-mid game of attrition, ANYTHING to allow advent caps to stay in an enemy g
the private sector is taking over because space is becoming profitable. As usual, the people take the lumps and then after the tech has been proven and cost effective the companies take over to capitalize on the new profits to be made. The profits belong to the people, but since our representatives don't do their jobs correctly we won't ever realize that profit.
My strategy for advent is simple. The only ship worth having is the halcyon. Build one, or two. I prefer one, as a higher level halcyon early on is a very strong advantage, and it minimizes the micro you have to do to keep it alive. Since I began this strategy I have only had my halcyon sniped once in a year due to an early LRM spam. You then use the rest of your cash to spam disciples and defense vessels, along with some illuminators. You have to plan for
[quote who="Qu4r" reply="76" id="2961010"]Ogrovos are overpowered. Tec is very spammable race, and generaly game developed in spamm direction, when devs listened to the mob and nerfed all high-macro , high resources , high skill croud control tactiks. It was a stupid move sice engine cant handle 8x lv 5+ fleets. Tec is also best race, so its time to return the balance. The solution for ogrovos is simple. increse their tactical cost x2.[/quote]
Here is an easy idea. Make advanced thrusters for the races and allow them to purchase an upgrade that allows their ships to have a facing command. In this way you can allow for an even tighter set of maneuvers, while still retaining the early game movement penalties. In the late game things get more intense, and having to deal with a player that can move very precisely would be another addition to the micro in large battles.
the legal definition of citizen has also evolved over the years, check it out to confirm the police state theory. :)
ah so they are a new clan. I just thought they couldn't spell.
