I feel like coming back.

any news on the reset front?

Skanky Burns · April 29, 2003, 20:33

There hasn't been any news on the reset, but there hasn't been any sign of the reset being implemented yet either.
It would be great to have you back playing.

Wow, me = post # 542 in this thread. Unthinkable in the OT.

I gave up on this "game" 'cause no matter how close I got to having a balanced budget, even just, the numbers would always swing back into the mega-red. After the seventh time, I'd had enough. Sorry, but I won't be back.

Az · April 30, 2003, 03:16

I might just do it. Sort of a rough patch at school, though.

Skanky Burns · May 1, 2003, 07:29

Sorry to see you go, Rose.

DRoseDARs · May 1, 2003, 16:39

I kept managing to get to within paying off one final loan each time - only once did I pay them ALL off - and then suddenly I'd start having negative income and subsequently have to take out new loans. I really skimped on my budget, cutting the fat AND many services to get more immediate income to kiil the loans off sooner. I'd let the AutoBudget feature show me where to start, then I'd either cut a few hundred or a few billion of its numbers. Each time the swing-back seemed to put me in a little deeper. Worse, I couldn't build new industries. I had the resources, I had the workforce, but except for the first few weeks I'd played this game I could never get even one of the factory-things to build my industries. BLOODY HELL, considering I managed to build one in early on and was telling it to reserve some for in-country use.

Doesn't matter anyway. I hadn't accessed my account in a few months. Tried the other day and was told SeaSide View didn't exist. I feel no loss...

Sorry Skanky, but the SimCountry economics code is too unpleasant and evil for my tastes. Clearly you are having a better time of it, so good luck to you and others.

2$ trillion.

$5 trillion

Colon™ · May 5, 2003, 14:40

Still, I'm making progress.

Skanky Burns · May 5, 2003, 19:18

$7 trillion

I'm planning on invading someone again soon, have built up a massive stockpile of many different weapon systems and even more ammo.

dudemanjack · May 5, 2003, 22:12

Managing five countries has proven to be a pain, so basically I'm just using the smaller countries to pump up Mentop and my new country "Dell" to get it up to 10m people so it can take over more countries. I don't really care what happens to the smaller ones, just as long as they aren't losing money.

There are only two countries bordering me. One is a player country that is inactive, and the other is a computer controlled country with a defense index of 160! I'm going to concentrate on defense and the economy for now.

Skanky Burns · May 6, 2003, 00:38

The computer-controlled country should pretty quickly get itself into debt - by the time you are ready to strike again, it should be dismantling its army.

Damn, thats a lot of military though.

Phuh! That's just because you are an usurer.

Our corporation values are about the same.

Datajack Franit · May 6, 2003, 07:34

I'm (almost) back! Can I join Apolyton?

Datajack Franit · May 6, 2003, 07:35

Oh yes, after a month of forced neglect I have 500 B of cash to invest in weapons

Skanky Burns · May 6, 2003, 08:17

Nice.

PM me with your country name, or message me in-game at "The Empire of Drunken Macaque NoCEOs".

Az · May 6, 2003, 08:45

1.2 Trillion. 9+ Mil people. Time to fix up stuff.

dudemanjack · May 13, 2003, 00:07

Update: the computer controlled country next to mine now has a defense index of 210!

dudemanjack · May 13, 2003, 00:08

What's the record for the largest running thread?

Skanky Burns · May 13, 2003, 00:22

The Picture thread in the Community forum is at 700 posts started on 24-07-2002. This thread has a way to go before catching up with that one.

Az · May 13, 2003, 04:12

yo, skanky, invite me. I am still "The Republic of Azazelia"

Datajack Franit · May 19, 2003, 10:54

Let's revive this thread! Let's start a new competition!

Find a country close enough to Franit Empire so he can declare war, get the money and become the new chairman of Apolyton- or conquer a financially dead one and destroy the economy of Franit Empire, just as it happened two months ago

Az · May 19, 2003, 13:46

I think I'll just buy some corps, instead.

Skanky Burns · May 19, 2003, 19:12

I have lost interest in this game, so the position of Federation Chairman is up for grabs. I have put the vote up for Datajack Franit as he was the previous Chairman.

Oh, and I finally invited Azazel too.

Datajack Franit · May 20, 2003, 11:50

Ohh what a shame Skanky (yikes- I can rule the world again!)

Welcome back David

dudemanjack · May 22, 2003, 01:37

I'm losing interest in the game as well...I don't feel like conquering anymore nations because it is just more micromanagement. Even fighting the war is a pain in the neck...I'll try and login every few days to upgrade my corporations, but I wouldn't expect me to be doing much more.

Az · May 22, 2003, 02:30

Try to build enterprises people. That's more fun.

My enterprise is currently #183!

Colon™ · May 29, 2003, 10:24

Franit, if you want us to start a war against Commonwealth of Shahzamin, you might also want to explain why.
