Sort of like The United Arab Republic of 1958 - 1972?

Just because we don't have implants, that doesn't mean we are not excelled in logic.

FlameFlash · July 1, 2003, 00:07

Yes, let's see who has the biggest private forum...

Drogue · July 1, 2003, 15:09

I'm more concerned that the PUT is the most powerful faction than anything to do with forums. However it is interesting that the Hive have admitted that most of their posts and members are concerned primarily with Pravda and RPing, so that not so much actual game discussion is getting done there. Since this is not the case here in the CyCon (we have one thread for 3D, and the rest all On Topic) so it begs the question what are we discussing that others aren't? Are we overprepared, or are the others underprepared...

~~Nah, we just bicker about every little detail.~~

Err yes I mean we plan everything efficiently ahead!

Drogue · July 1, 2003, 15:53

True, but that is useful. We know exactly our faction opinion on everything, and we discuss everything, so we get the best idea from each

And dammit: I was trying to scare the other factions

We are evil I tell you! We are!

Snowflake · July 1, 2003, 23:06

So you are the true poll-lovers, aren't you?

It's just all the ~~spammers~~very active hive members are very friendly and will willingly discuss any subject under the sun in the private forums.

~~Merge you faction~~Join the hive today, the friendliest faction in the ACDG!

Beat you (anybody who wanted to claim that there's no sun in the Hive)

How about we set up a sixth approach to victory. You can win if you have the maximum amount of threads, average post per member, and matters covered in the private forum in the term when somebody wants to declare victory. This way you can win even you were eliminated before the end term.

(Just kidding. We wouldn't want to encourage spamming would we.

)

Kody · July 3, 2003, 04:13

It's like 80% of the people have disappeared, and then another 18% are only doing just enough to keep the game running

.

I come on looking for an excuse to post, but find nothing's really changed since the last 9 times I came here looking to post.

So spill it where is everyone? Did a new p*** site open up or something which is keeping everyone occupied?

Kody

Snowflake · July 3, 2003, 09:32

My guess is that everybody's out enjoy the sunshine and the long weekend but us the cave lovers.

Be watching out those mindworms everybody!

Drogue · July 3, 2003, 15:43

I'm still here and active. Most of us have retired to our private forums, partly because we can discuss the game there, and partly due to the problems with contact before we should have I think. Will liven up when we have met each other IMHO.

Vev · July 3, 2003, 23:15

The lack of activity is frustrating.

Corellion · July 4, 2003, 01:50

I think this is largely a cascading effect... few people are posting, therefore few interesting conversations are developed. I view the main forum every day, but there is rarely anything worth posting about going on, so I generally don't post, which means there are fewer interesting conversations (I'm not being vain, I'm talking in a general sense... vanity is illogical), which means fewer people post, etc..

How do you go about deleting your old posts? I tried, but it said that I needed to login as someone else.

Kody

Mr. President · July 4, 2003, 06:08

You can't delete your own posts. There's some convoluted rationale, but I forget what it is right now.

Method · July 4, 2003, 09:56

the theory is that if you could delete your own posts, you could just go to some little-used forum, spam 50000 posts, delete them all, and make deity overnight.

or something..

Maniac · July 4, 2003, 10:58

I thought deleted posts were no longer counted towards your post count?

I think I've heard stories of people's PCs reducing after Ming deleted a thread.

Method · July 4, 2003, 11:03

oh right, that's true too. ah well, nevermind then

positive feedback! how evil

Vev · July 5, 2003, 08:13

a vicious cycle!

Drogue · July 5, 2003, 20:02

Isn't that negative feedback Zero?

When a situation being bad makes it worse?

Snowflake · July 5, 2003, 23:33

Here's the spirit! Always think positive.

Kody · July 9, 2003, 10:06

Ever since the hive figured out that our faction was heading downhill we've doubled our post count. Since we now have to post on IC and on making our turns. Since we're now probably producing more posts than any of the other clans combined can we get a 2nd forum so we can neatly have IC seperate from turn stuff?

Kody

Vev · July 9, 2003, 10:19

I quite enjoy trawling through all the lovely Hive posts.

Snowflake · July 9, 2003, 11:50

I refuse to take part in the trolling for more spam.

Drogue · July 9, 2003, 14:50

Kody: No. We had one forum for a whole DG before, as is usual. There is no way you will get 2 just for one faction. Look at the post rate in OTF. When you reach that, you might get a second

What's IC?

Snowflake · July 9, 2003, 18:06

In Charator. Remember the movie that was advertised in Pravda? That was a glimpse of the IC story.
