So, despite having my dumpers set, and more coming for dumping later in the month. I don't really like the new update too much. Myself like a few others, by which few others I only know of Zal, Angelo and me, while others want old energy system, others want updates to current. So sign, leave nudes, nipples slips, or that lame +1 to show you'd like cs brought back to hopefully persuade our Lord Ender, to make the change.

I agree that there are problems with the current system, but I don't think this is the way to solve it. Please see here for my thoughts: http://bots4.net/forum/8/3725

Why is it that petitions are always made in game forums to try and change stuff? Don't people realize that if you present a valid argument and solution that will get a lot more mileage than a bunch of dumb /signed posts?

I disagree easy, it gives the devs an idea about the depth of feeling.

I preferred cs to the current energy system, but sorry Angelo I'm not sure that replacing one flawed system with another is the way to go :P

All systems will be flawed rose simply because anything that a human can make can be undone by another human of similar or superior intelligence on a subject. Or even dumb luck lol. Now to help Chapo here: it is true that I enjoyed the cs system. Why? In some respect it was to do with the feeling of accomplishment of playing for hour on end with friends and all of us having something to show for our efforts. In some respect it is due to having a whole month of human activity mean something versus the current "build 5000 level 20s and wait for the last few days of the month". In some respect it was because there was variety and fun in meeting people or making clans or making bots. I used to want to spend 8 hours looking for a manic cranium because it was the only way to keep scoring really. It was a challenge because there was always something to do and a clan or person always gaining on you.

Now there is nothing. Just nothingness. If I want to score I freak my bot. Then I try to gain whatever energy is around the last 2-3 days of the month and hope somebody doesn't rape me and take all that energy. Doesn't even need to be a similar bot. Hell a good int whore has a chance of winning those few battles. I could reset but that's like saying "f my accomplishments, this is the only way to help my clan". I'd rather gain 500k wins one time on one bot then reset 10 times and get 50k wins on the same bot or something. But that is the way the system is set up.

Just my two cents. Its just a bunch of bitching on my part but I don't care anymore. I'll even end with a comment from Ender's Game:

Anderson handed him the hook. Ender unfroze everyone at once. To hell with protocol. To hell with everything. "Hey!" he shouted as Anderson moved away. "What is it next time? My army in a cage without guns, with the rest of the Battle Room against them? How about a little equality?"

And yes, I actually read Ender's Game. What I learned from it is that the Ender on here is such a teacher now XD

The problem with the old system has been fixed. the man in charge of this game is active. See what your saying though, im just a creature of habit.

Fixed indeed :D

Our petition has worked! What was all this shit about what was it...petitions not working? Oh yes, I think this one just did.

Score one for democracy!

@zal, wtb tl;dr

My speech for dummies:

All systems will be flawed.

Making a bunch of lvl 20 clans is lulz.

Resetting is stupid.

A quote about futility from Ender's Game.

100% agree with all that. Tho' I do feel bad for neps.

It's okay. Live and adapt, I always do. :)
