Just reminding you not to go too deep into these issues for the risk of violating game rules. But, war isn't about individuals fighting it. It hardly ever is. Are our soldiers fighting for freedom or democracy or any such idealistic thoughts? No! That's not what they're thinking when pulling the trigger. Their only objective is to eliminate the 'bad guys'. And, again, for each side the other one is bad. As I always say: try to step in the shoes of the other person. Why are they doing it? They are human too after, all. They were born innocent, just like me. What conditions could have led them to commit such actions? When you think deep enough, you'll realise that it's an eternal cycle. Each war has its sore losers who resist again and again. Why is it that even after millions of years of evolution, we still act like primitive organisms fighting over power. The only thing which has evolved, is the definition of that power. We fight for territory, resources, ideals, or pure simple baseless hatred. It is true that power corrupts. But what's even more true is that the mere thought of having power corrupts to a greater extent. Call me cynical but I don't think we'll ever learn. At least, not the way things are now. If two large scale wars and mass destruction weapons aren't enough to make us see the self-destructive path we've set upon, I don't know what will.

If I may say so, all wars are about one thing only. Power. Someone or the other wants more power and someone else doesn't like that idea. Sure, that comes out in various ways such as religion or geopolitics. But in the end, it's always fight for power. Quite ironical, really. When you think that the people actually fighting these wars are in no way concerned with the politics behind it.

Alright, alright.... I confess! I took the cookie.. Sorry. :(

I understand. Feel free to PM me with your views. I'd love to hear you out.

It is an interesting concept, wars. It changes human perception in highly twisted ways. Just as an example, I don't approve of murder. However, if I'm told that this soldier killed XYZ enemies in battle, I might, in fact, have respect for him. But, at the basic level, he did the same thing. Well, it can be argued that his intentions were good but then again, do intentions justify the action? Who knows? In any case, I believe in remembering wars. Let us all remember wars and tell the stories to our children and they, to theirs. Let is not allow anyone to forget these wars. No, I do not ask you to remember the heroic/evil actions of a few individuals. I don't ask you to remember who lost and who win. Because in a war, there are no winners. The only loser is life. Life is lost. Blood is shed. Let us remember that, above anything else. Let us relate the word 'war' with horror and tragedy and loss of life. Let those horrors make us think a hundred times before we venture out on war again. In the end, let us remember that as long as we cannot create life, destroying it is a mere sin.

Well, isn't this nice... I can go easy and focus on accuracy now... :D

Hey, Welcome back. One year, huh..Lemme see: 1. A big update hit us few weeks back which changed the stats of all Hull/Turrets. Also, all M3 equipment now unlocks at Marshall () so there has also been a change in equipment prices. You can find all the details here 2. A new format Dictator Railgun was added to the game. In this, all railguns are automatically equipped with a special Alteration. 3. Also, Alterations have been added (right now, one for each turret but more will be added soon) which allows you to tweak your turret in a way so as to suit your gameplay style. Alterations, however do not make your turret stronger or weaker overall. Well, Those are the major ones...You'll also find lots of minor ones added to make the game better and interesting. Again, welcome back and enjoy the game :D Closed

Inspect Element -_-.... Come on, there are far more interesting things you can do with that.

^Inifinite supplies is only a temporary feature as a part of Halloween Celebrations.

Topic for millennials, I see... :ph34r: Fortunately (Or Unfortunately?) I wasn't alive then... :p

Eh.. Well, I really don't think I would like this in game too much. After all, knowing that players would not want to kill each other is a huge advantage for someone like me who doesn't care about gambling on a small chance for a meagre amount of crystals. I can usually get more crystals from the battle fund itself. I mean, who's to say whether a temporary truce is right or not? I prefer to keep capping and kill anyone who comes in my way knowing I'll have an advantage due to the 'No-kill' psyche.

Forum candidate :P... And thanks.

As answered above, sales are on M-upgrades of equipment and not the Micro Upgrades. Closed

Overall fastest 10. Not the ones from each time zone or anything. Then there will be less than 50 winners like always. :D Top 10 will obviously win. And everyone in random 40 will win (but there will be less than 40 peeps there so everyone will win). But I doubt that situation will arise many times.
-
Same time as always. 18:00 UTC 0 on Tuesday.
-
Well, no. There will be 50 winners like before. Except:~10 winners will be the top 10 fastest players with right answer. ~40 winners shall be selected from rest of the lot. These 40 shall be selected randomly so everyone who didn't get the top 10 positions will have a fair chance regardless of when they entered.

Please understand that it's just a story. Different sets of people have different ideologies about it. Moreover, you clearly used the terms like 'evil' and such which are provocative in nature. Please don't do that here. Keep the topic only for wishing the best, not to make statements or impose your "facts"
-
Guys, I understand your feelings but please don't post any religious stuff which might provoke anyone. Let's just wish each respectfully and enjoy the celebrations. :)
