Proff, changes to keep the game fresh are always a great idea, I think the main prob has been that sometime we have had too many MAJOR strategic choices change at once. This is very unsettling to long term strats. Changes were made and then even more changes had to be made to try to keep balance, and frankly it was the rollercoaster to now that has upset so many. Some changes that have been catostropic have settled out a bit and I think with the next change, that we may be at or near a balancing point for now. Tweaking for a few months and minor additions would probably be fine with everyone as long as the major systems of Shields and Intrest would be left alone in the meantime. This pause would give you time to see how thing play out (and let Iiri get ahead).

Any way if you are going to use MoM's numbers then you are free to quote him my amounts to show him what another banker/builder has produced in the same time frame.

My Brain is hung like a horse :P
14th Sep

1. Cutting interest and making it higher for players with less resources definitely hurt me.
2. Reducing shields definitely hurts me, as I have more planets with known locations and surviving only due to defenses on the planet than any other player.
3. Limiting credit purchases hurt me more than any other player.

1. You did cut interest, but you made it so it can ber manipulated. So if a player has 50 planets he can pread out the recs and still gain the interst of 1mil T a day alone from interest, so all in all you are not really hurt as up until filas attacked you this morning noone touched you.

2. You reduced shields because you increased everything else. if you did not decrese shield strenth the game would be completely lopsided, it was nt really a matter of choice to you and as we can see did not result in ANY of you HWs being taken. When LTC decides that taking Prof HWs will be pointless because in 3 days they resssurect, doenst something go off in your head? I mean this is the first time that LTC, the most powerful clan with the best combination of players have unanimously decided that attacking Prof is a waste of assaults. Woiw, what does that to to the game? If the best clan wont even attack a playerr who are we as much weaker guys to even think of attacking you?

3.Limiting credit purchases, yes it probably has hurt you more than any other player and rightly so. You stated that you only wanted credits because you needed money to finance the game. BS. Who were you paying when you "bought" the credits yourself? Now I can understand that you may use yourr own money to finance the game and you want a little repayment for doing so, but you have noone monitoring you and we dont know how much "credits" which leads to trops that you bought. You also stated earlier that "noone buys more than 50 bucks a month in credits so what are you a liar now? If that was the caser than the 50 dollar limit hurt noone. Prof

Prrof stop playing games with SL players. First thing you should do to make this game better is become more truthful, stop trying to cover up lies or conceal truths, we are not stupid. And were you in our position and sitting in our shoes think how we should feel that all these things were supposed to go unqurestioned? We are supposed to just say well Prof is doing the right thing yet allthe changes he made either dont affect him in a negative way , unless he was doing things to seriously put others to a disadvantage ie buying masses of crediits or they flat out give him an advantage ie getting 1% interest everyday on 100mil T while noobs get 1% int on 10k T and then call it fair and equal. Then you say well I need to make it fair so i am going to cut int for people with under1milo recs on each planet but you spread out your own recs on your 50 planets that by the way no one will touch for thier obvious reasons and you still expect a noob to compete with that. I dont know if I am just gifted or your just blind or visa versa but all yourr changes look calculated to me, one after the other. Save recs when you join and dont spend. Then you buy the game and keep playing, then you increas shield strenght gradually overr the months and then you ad turrets and then you decrease ship exp and then you add int, and then you add buildings and then you say your are not exempt from winning any credits due to winning rounds and now you are winniing the round the day after you posted it. Yeah I bet that was just a huge coincidence Prof.

Neggy, he doesn't get rewarded for winning this round. And afaik, it really is a coincidence that he's winning this round -- he wants that planet, and it's defended.

i dont know if professor is cheating... and i dont really care cuz as of the end of this round i aint gonna b on skylords till august.... but as for the credits swimmerdude... when we send in our money to buy credits we send it to his email directly... meaning we pay him not the company... meaning he also pays himself... it could b that he is just takin the credits and not payin for em... but also he could have a budget that he uses... he works out a plan that when he buys $50 worth of credits he puts that $50 away aside from his daily financial expenses and uses that $50 only for marketing and developing... u can points fingers night n day cuz there are suspicous things n there r also solid facts... so its up to everyone to beleive wat they want... professor is the owner of the game period

wow you guys are lamzors. so you want the game to sit around wasting away while no changes are done and old players slowly leave and never come back. thast great ice. haha for someone who likes this game so much you might want to realize that soem people have the power to cheat but wouldn't. professor i think can give himself troops without buying credits. so why doesn't he jsut do that?

I dont know what the hell Prof does, I dont even know if he gives himself T all I can tell you is that since no one knows why the hell is he able to do everything like a regular player? Its like if you dont like Prof your HWs are as good as gone because he is an Admin. I am not saying that I want the game to sit around I am simply saygin put some f%$^ing checks to all his power. Thats what I am saying. Zygi did not need checks because he didnt play, if you are going to play then we as fellow players need some assurances that you are not taking advantages that we cannot also get ie paying yourself creds and getting T on the spot.

"professor i think can give himself troops without buying credits. so why doesn't he jsut do that?"

if indeed he is cheating the game then the reason why he would do it through credits is cuz it would make the path of fault more complicating... therefore making it not to obvious.... if he was straight out givin himself troops then ppl would know cuz he wouldnt have any proof that he got it another way... goin through credits gives him a scapegoat to fall back on if it is discovered.... this is "if" he is cheating the game.. which i doubt it

wow neggy(ice) its a game. you sound like a blobering idiot. i'll tell you one thing. i play in a game called ogame. professor also plays and is in my allaince. he is not the normal player there as also in here. there he has no admin powers. yet he still creams jsut about any people who try his own stragety... want to know why? becouse he calculates everything. i mean everything. He figures almsot any way to do soemthgin then figures out the cheapest way of doing it. if your so worried why don't you jsut leave?
to ros. yes i understand that but it would still be easy to trace back to. lets face it i bet you could ask professor or irri and find out where the money comes form and then where it goes. in fact lets ask him so we don't ahve to listen to this b.s.
