Is it just me...or?

After the zombie apocalypse (if it can be called that), it seems like activity has drastically gone down, especially in the econ. forums. In my opinion, if this slowdown actually occurred b/c of the apocalypse...something needs to be done. We shouldn't have a complete market shutdown in our RPs because of this. Thoughts anyone else?

That does sound rather alarming. Perhaps something could be done to address this.

Hmmmm, maybe you are right!

If you notice, most posts date to oct. 30, and even then, the amount of posting in general has been scarce, at least based on what I've seen....

Maybe some uninterested people decided to skip the whole thing.

Agreed. I've talked to people who decided not to log on till the whole crisis blew over. Others were simply too preoccupied with clickin cure buttons every twenty seconds to return to the forums.

Indeed I have noticed the forums have been less active, with the notable exception of the Command Center (Obviously). I think people who usually spend their time in General and ignore their nation have been more or less forced to deal with the problem. Some of them might not have liked that.

Perhaps in the future the fight should be less involved...as in WAY LESS CLICKING...

I don't see why the forums slowing down for a few days is such a bad thing. It just means everyone is enjoying the event. And it picks up afterwards anyway

It's just a little holiday from all those intense RPs and debates. I found clicking cure bombs oddly therapeutic

by **NerdCubedGaming** » Thu Oct 31, 2013 12:51 am

I've noticed it since July!

Each to his or her own I guess!

But the econ shutting down was more than a bit alarming.

I did find myself after about an hour of just clicking thinking. The gameplay right now is clicking a button every 20 seconds. I could be playing Skyrim, LoL, Tf2, anything, and I'm here.... Clicking this button. And then I did it for several more hours

Nationstates does that sometimes...

they should have put a better version in which it can't rape your fingers

But NationStates is finger rape. They are one and the same.

Agreed, either ways, there are some things that need to be changed in the future.

by **The National Socialist Philippines** » Thu Oct 31, 2013 1:03 am

What would you change? How would the event run if you were in charge? (Asked in curiosity not in OH YEA BET YOU COULDN'T DO BETTER)
