I think people should be limited to 1 forum post ever 10-30 minutes. It would cause people to think before they type, and maybe stop the useless flaming/spamming that happens to every decent post thats made. "/me tries to find a new alliance" Get me away from these flamers.
I'd really like to see a round where no one puts up their phone numbers. It used to be so rare that someone would offer up their number to be called, but now it is such commonplace. Sure, the majority of those people turn their phones off at night, but still.
There's no controlling the way society acts, but I really think it was a lot more fun having only a few people on at certain times. It definitely brought in a whole other aspect to the game, which, with the way technology is now days, can no longer be matched. If we somehow all decided, on a sort of honor system, to not use contact numbers for a round, I really think it would benefit the game as a whole. Unfortunately there's no way to effectively police that. But it would be fun to see how the game used to be.
need JJ back imho.
Some of the dead-wood needs to leave.
You know, the players that have played FTW every round for the past 30 rounds?
Getting stagnant. Give somebody else a chance.

Its that dead-wood that kept the forums alive.
Perhaps, however its not as black and white as you make it out to be. Without any activity at all, i doubt alot of newbies would have found the game atractive at all. Saying that these people should've stoped playing ages ago and we'd have more people playing the game is, lacking a better expression, stupid beyond belief (no offence).
mind you, that alot of the dead-wood you're talking about DID stop playing, yet here we (you) are.

The problem is, the "respectable" people of the game have left.
Back in the olden days of Bush you'd be having a war with the likes of Welshie, Tim, BW, Angela (Although I never would admit to it), Melnibone, Ryu-- etc etc
Nowadays it's just a bunch of strangers with no personality that take things too seriously. 8/10 people I've spoken to in-game this round have been abusive about their attacks on you, or your attacks on them...
Way back when, you could atleast have a laugh about it because people realised that at the end of the day it was just a game.
Please for the love of god don't take this as a personal dig as you said about your posts this is just some light hearted banter

You know, if you put less effort into expressing your collosal ego on the forums, and more effort into RL, you might actually get somewhere
I stress "might" as the key word.

It's funny how BlackWolf keeps getting dragged into these kind of discussions. Back when he played, he got flamed to death on these forums by just about everyone, and now that he has quit, he's suddenly indispensable, one of the best on the forums, a beacon of light from the past who's departure left the forums to rot...
I've said this before, people romanticise the past way too much...
edit: and people taking attacks on them personally has been around for as long as I have, again that is since r10...
