Making money from art is not vulgar. Art is a commodity. It makes people feel something. It raises the greater sum of human happiness. It increases the gaiety of the nation. It has a value. -John Allison

Cybernations
« on: November 10, 2006, 10:37:27 pm »
Out of interest and for my own personal gain, does anyone here play Cybernations? I know at least some of you here would be interested in this kind of thing.

Basically, you have your nation, collect taxes, and use the resulting money to improve it in myriad ways. But, you can make fight with other nations, trade, etc. which makes it quite fun, and most of the people aren't dicks about it, it seems. It takes a while to get going, but to start with just check in daily to manage the daily tax income and time will fly like it's gone out of fashion. Roll on huge armies and nuclear warfare with others!

If you join, I can trade you giraffe and Sugar. I'm sure the Achewood cookbook would have a recipe utilising both commodities.

Christ, I've never felt like more of a nerd in my life. This is what getting older is like.

I started a nation (Laclon) with an anti-nuclear weapons stance and a primarily Jewish population. Naturally, my randomly-selected natural resources are uranium and pigs.

Anyone want some radioactive bacon?

Oops, I should probably have mentioned: My nation is Poguemahone.

If we all choose to be the Black Team we can trade with each other and get happiness bonuses, so that might be an idea.

Anyway, I'll try and get you all at least £750 in aid by the end of the day. I'm not sure if there's a limit to how much I can aid people.

I am saying that I do not understand what you are saying.

I'm the nation of MoMoney, and i'm still figuring this shit out.  Basically, I want the drug trade to flourish, is there a button for that?

EDIT: Sweet, I set my drug policy to "Our leaders are aware of the situation but are too addicted to drugs themselves to do anything about it"

"Radioactive Bacon" would be a good name for a band.

Dude, I accidentally cancelled my trade agreement with you.  I resent it.

Hey, I've just joined the Black team, as Judy recommended, but my team bonuses on my trade agreements don't appear. Should I cancel trade agreements to start them up again? Would you guys (inevitable, auggie, and ben-san) reapprove them?

Also, Judy, I'd have offered a trade of my gold and iron for your giraffe and sugar, but I"m already getting sugar from inev, my nation's isolated and coastal (though somehow giraffe isn't a resource) and I want the lead and aluminum I'm trading for in the fourth spot.

Yeah, I was considering the cancel-and-reoffer thing too. It seems like you don't get a happiness bonus from same-team deals unless you were on the same team at the time the deal first went through or something.
