Why didn't you introduce yourself?

It was a lot of fun. It was cool meeting Russic and kermitology (iPad tries to convert that to dermatology).

Got some good ideas for improving the game and making some new ones.

All-in-all a good night.

[kermitology]

No.. I'm sure I don't mean dermatology!

Hey KTrain, really enjoying the game. I'll throw my suggestion in. I haven't read all of the pages so it may have been posted before.

What about a "Troop Movement" option on the territories. I assume most people amass troops in their home quadrant, so it would be cool if you could start an advance of the Misterpants Royal Dragoons through the city of Calgary, stomping all who get in their way. The flip side is that it would temporarily weaken your home territory leaving you somewhat vulnerable. I think this might add a cool Risk-like strategy to the game.

Unfortunately that Bus-Turd Lithium lives around me and has his barracks pumping out poorly trained paper soldiers all night, preventing me from restoring the glory of Marda Loop to the motherland.

If you type Kermitology into Google and do a search, according to this it will stop auto-correcting it...

Actually, my iPhone previously learned how to spell kermitology before I upgraded to 4.0 beta firmware.

It has been brought up in the past and we feel it would take away from what is unique about the game. The fact that you have to be in a specific territory to use your troops makes the game different.

We're always looking for ways to improve the game though so keep throwing your suggestions our way.

Yeah, taking away the location component of a location based game defeats the purpose.

You could try and come up with a way to implement that though that's still location enabled.. i.e. you'd load troops up and then they'd travel with you as you moved until you deployed them. That raises other problems though (what happens if the app quits while carrying troops? Lose location? etc), and might be too complicated.

I see what you're saying. Photon has a good idea about carrying troops with you. Just a suggestion to add some strategy to the game and capitalize on what seems to be happening in the game (with people having a "home base" they load up on).

Hi Ktrain. I'm a long-time player, first time suggestion giver.

Anyway, my suggestion is for those people dumb enough to play this while driving. When you're attacking somebody...let's use thneed as an example because I just kamikaze attacked him to see the message...it would be nice to have an option to "attack again" in the intel report. Right now, you have to hit "okay" then launch your attack again. I would like to keep my thumb in one spot and attack over and over without having to tap twice, in two different locations.

Maybe even offer that as a $0.99 upgrade or in a $1.99 deluxe version.

Another option for the deluxe version would be a multi-attack feature. For example with kamikze, you could select "launch X attacks" (then pick 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.) and with just two clicks, you're executing what is currently a multiple click process. I often use propaganda as well...so say I can launch a propaganda multi-attack 5 times with just a couple of clicks, then a poison food multi-attack, etc.

Anyway, keep it up and everybody stay the "f" off my turf.

[KTrain]

First off, don't you mean "slivers first time suggestion b!tches"? OTW inside joke.

I'll talk with the code monkeys about the difficulty of adding multiple attacks. Attack again should be easy enough. I think the difficulty would be in distinguishing between the two options so people aren't accidentally pressing attack again.

haha awesome.

Lets see how long I can keep this one territory in NYC. Someone already took back one from there that I had stolen.

I find the term "Bus-Turd" rather offensive, perhaps a moderator would agree with me.

Second of all, Marda Loop will always be mine, it's best just to give up on that and focus on Altadore.

wooo...wooo... You've been to a Democamp before? Damn, Photon I wish I would have known or I would have introduced myself.

P.S. Congrats guys on the presentation at Democamp. I really wish I would have been there to see you guys present. I wouldn't have even heckled from the back for you guys.

I think if you open a new note and type the word in there 3 or so times in a row your phone should from then on recognize that word.

Surprised there hasn't been a write up in Techvibes yet.

lol I can't tell if you're kidding but if not it sounds pretty harmless to me.

I think I am showing the correct amount of diplomacy for Lithium. If he wanted to improve relations, he could turn his phone off for one g.d. second to allow me to ruleMisterpants Loop.

You want to be my queen?
Um... awkward...
