After the bad news about the speed slots some good news, BNW have been denied gold star status for another month!
Events unfolded about 0400 server time Tuesday 12 June when xmen_oz took Tokyo:
One of the biggest single battles in a while for sure.
This was followed by an assault on Mumbai by our own kerithp and bringing up the rear was yours truely with an invasion of Kolkata.
Reaching for the stars is not as easy as it looks ;)
Apparently you can no longer load "multiple tabs" in your browser to do the slots. The reason cited was load on the server. This was our main tactic to bring down shields so a set back there for us. Queries have been made as to what constitutes "multi tabbed" browsing. But we are not holding our breath.
Another new feature, a score system has been introduced, Luke and his team have been busy, well done!
It will be reset in a few days then expect all sorts of activity! Will this silence the whiners? I doubt it, a new generation of said people will pop up no doubt.
A new industry feature has been added. Hopefully this will develop so that attackers can get a percentage of the industry as loot? Also maybe armies could be bought more cheaply the more industry you have?
In other news the cost of nukes has gone down to 3000 geos.
Well the much talked about new feature has been implemented. This will indeed open up new tactical interest and could not have come at a better time for Ronin.
Leaving your city will cause shields to be dropped, this will mean even more careful scrutinising of the latest activity page!

Another Bloody Sunday somewhere in a distant land:
Is it wise to confide in an Internet gaming forum about personal issues? One brave soul did that recently when he decided to write about a doomed love affair. Obviously such a salacious bit of news in the otherwise staid atmosphere of a gaming forum drew much attention.
To what extent writing about the experience was cathartic and whether that justified the publication is very debatable. I for one would never open up as the author did even if it was very much related to GEWar. However I think he did the community a great service by alerting people to the issues involved.
Inevitably comments were made that upset the author and may have led to his recent decision to quit the game? All I can say is that though I do not know the guy I wish to say that what he did was a brave thing (ignoring the moral aspects of the story) and I applaud his decision.
