Evolution vs Rounds

^^Thumbs up smiley ^^

JaM, the idea is briliant, the mix of both. But why make them take turns? 1st six months - 2 rounds, 2nd six months - one, neverending.

and there's something the neverending round lacks - the feeling of the inevitable end.
you know you have one week, maybe in that week you can *using teeth and nails* jump 100 points above that bastard who's 2000 ahead and who's also scoring and he's like a day from the closest ally to him, and then, when it all ends, that effort will stay in the Hall of Fame (the ROUND-based hall of fame )

And now what's the point of doing that on 93% evolution? Put that much effort... for what? In the new hall of fame, WHAT exactly is the point of being 100 points ahead of him

So many idea's ... Nice ....lol
I, too, have an idea...
Let's leave it the way it is...
because you wanna know what...
if Admin changes the system, or adjusts it...
after a few months, we gonna say...
but hey...
the respawning thing, now that was so wonderful...
admin, can we have that back lol
so we can do ourselves a big favour...
and when our percentage is reached...
we ought to be creative and act as if "my round" has ended...
and make new moves...new alliances....new this and new that...
cept of course for the odd few...
Now that was my idea...

Yeah, but having 2 rounds and then 2 evolutions pretty much takes care of those wishes

the explanations why rounds have benefits are not working, because most of the stuff is also working.

the only thing is to define a date where a winner is declared , anything else is just the same !

*black hole - you gave no expanation
*competition - as i said .. no difference
*alliances - the same for round modus... if you do not know the right people you cannot join cool allainces ...


the advantages of evolution style are clear:

a dynamic and full developed universe all the time , much more like the real world. When you are born you will find yourself in a full developed world with avatars that reached any imaginable evolution state

so this structure is intuitively the right structure... it looks good with its time-flow ...

You are good in telling it is not working and we are not right are you

i think wars are a waste of time because one team will win then the over team will launch an attack and so on [img]http://[/img]

I think I should respond to Spacetrace, the question is, which post.

[Spyder]

Instead I will post a fable based on the snafu principle

In the beginning was the plan,
and then the specification;
And the plan was without form,
and the specification was void.
And darkness
was on the faces of the implementors thereof;
And they spake unto their leader,
saying:
"It is a crock of shit,
and smells as of a sewer."
And the leader took pity on them,
and spoke to the project leader:
"It is a crock of excrement,
and none may abide the odor thereof."
And the project leader
spake unto his section head, saying:
"It is a container of excrement,
and it is very strong, such that none may abide it."
The section head then hurried to his department manager,
and informed him thus:
"It is a vessel of fertilizer,
and none may abide its strength."
The department manager carried these words
to his general manager,
and spoke unto him
saying:
"It containeth that which aideth the growth of plants,
and it is very strong."
And so it was that the general manager rejoiced
and delivered the good news unto the Vice President.
"It promoteth growth,
and it is very powerful."
The Vice President rushed to the President's side,
and joyously exclaimed:
"This powerful new software product
will promote the growth of the company!"
And the President looked upon the product,
and saw that it was very good.

I still want rounds back.

Never ending rounds makes admin less nessecerry because it will never end.
Never ending rounds are attrative to newbies, that is n00bs and multies included. Because in newbies there is relatively more n00bs and multies then in other people.

i believe u should be able to play at all times, and not on a schedule, cause mine might not work with those and then the alliances will also fall down which i i think is ur reason to post this, but there won't be rounds, admin answered already

Well, this is very first time i play this game, so this is my first respawn, im at 40% now, and who say there is no real competition is wrong...Becouse every player can respawn again and again, every alliance have same possibilitys to became stronger and stronger. Stronger is better, better is an winning position, so competition is all over there. Rounds sounds nice, but after 1-2 rounds everyone will have the feeling like....i saw it all i have nothing here to do anymore. System like its running now have no real start (except for individual players) and an kind of middle line in research, and most important, you dont have to be afraid of being overrun by several fleets at the end of time, game is better balanced like this, becouse even best(experienced) players will be weaker from time to time. So they have challenge to keep name of alliance high, and newbies who form own alliance have chance against them.

[JaM]

I didn't post it because of alliances fall down, most alliance fall down after 2 evolution periods anyway. And the feeling you describe is more likely to come up after 3 evolution rounds with me. Yes the competition is now, but not always. And the common practise is that n00b alliances mostly trying to be friends with the No 1 alliance. But with rounds you have an end to the game, something that declares you as winner, which is not now. And to join in half way is not nessecerily bad for newbies. Because that (half) round can be their practise round and the next round they can play SpaceTrace as every other player and try to join cool alliances. The purpose of a game is to see who is best in it in a given period. Now you have only something as who is best, and you can't actually compare it because how much score you get depends on other factors except strategy and tactics.
