Hi im Angelo_Barbieri. Gonna try to make it short (I couldnt), i got bored and realized that this game without people trying to kill you is pointless. Also that if I was going to die this run, it was going to be in the hands of someone currently playing, etc etc. So why not, go out with a bang or two? Well yeah I missed both of those bangs 😂😭 While doing that I realized how impossible was for our little enemies to do damage to the current regime with these changes that only worked when there were actual people playing it. How did I even miss those shots with 2k+ gun before 120 days? Degrade is a good mechanic but it punishes fast builders and it punishes busy rl people. Maybe i took heavy hits since, i had 1k kills at 48 days of age or maybe I just suck at the game and math? 😂. Degrade fucks you even more with the distance mechanic, and dont get me started on the HQ move penalty. Nice changes, sure. When there is a healthy population. So yeah, nice little suggestions for future proof (tweak it). The game gets stale, not everybody is a retiree or is 40+ years old lol

Now, apologies to K_W, Striphe, Marie. You are good people outside of the game. It was nice meeting you all, hope you have a nice life. 

My last run shitty "milestones", to whoever is interested: https://mafiareturns.com/comm/thread/2258890/tpass/da9a0eb5b8babfae9c836ef899f7b481#341394613

Respect to everybody else i talked to, this is just a game for me, dont take it personal, goodbye!

Hi. I'm The Dump Truck! I want to make certain I understood you correctly. You got bored because the game is not a game any more. You had a cannon for a gun and landed two missed shots. (The tapering had nothing to do with your missed shots) Did I sum his up right?

If you are missing the fun of it all, why retire? It seems to me that was a selfish move on your part. You had the golden opportunity to bring a little jingle back on these shores. 

Yes, it's stale for all sides. Even with all the things heavily sided against rogues (opinion) we tried multiple times to make the correct moves to change the current leadership. It no longer can be done because of the following game mechanics:

• [Game Code] Tapering (Compounded with the 120 day gun stat rule this is a harsher consequence to deal with)
• [Game Code] City Distance Wack (Compounded with HQ cooldowns this makes it too hard to get enough guns through to make a strong enough attack) you need 3 instead of one
• [Player Controlled] Shooting own members before they have cap killer at specific intervals
• [Attrition - Player + Game Shared] With the years of doing the same exact things it became boring, demoralizing and lack of opposing force left
• [Player Controlled] Unwritten rule (belief) is if you talk in main a lot, whether you get rogues or not you get killed later unless you are trusted
• [Game Controlled Statistics] You can't hide how many rogue/ttes you get because the game reports which Crew has Top 10 and by how much. It's too easy to find the "liability".

All of the above combined is why leadership change can not currently happen.

If you think the player base would get so upset they would try to cause rebuild mode by not joining families and constantly attacking from attempting 1%'s then you don't realise how many days that would take. Plus people can just leave and get their addiction elsewhere so instead of doing that they would take the path of least resistance and silently leave the game.

At least the conversations with the people that do still talk is nice.
