"because all the crew leaders had already been mailed directly several hours ago"

... were we?

If the mass mail that said "*Mass Mail to all Crew Leaders*" was to be believed, then yes.

Boaby, why do you see it{s down to game mechanics if people are getting stuck at 20? I agree with the communication breakdown, but if most people can get past 20 units, it's not the game, it's the players that are stuck.

You always cut me to the quick, Tallien.

Sometimes we all need some tough love.

I agree. However, as I said in my earlier post, Tallien has done more on this front than I would reasonably expect. If people still aren't getting it, well, I have nothing to add beyond what I said in my original post.

Given that the vast majority of families have at least a couple of people "stuck", then perhaps a bit of introspection into why such numbers are becoming stuck, may help. In the case of Tallien, I can say that he's definitely done more than you would reasonably expect with regards to this matter.

If people are still "stuck" beyond that, is it an issue with game mechanics? Who knows. You say there are 157 members "stuck". That must be pushing on 20% of all members? Even higher as a percentage when you consider the fact that many members won't be able to reach 20 yet I guess. If so, the issue is perhaps more than just "education".

The truth is more likely that it's a combination of all factors; lack of education by some CLs and game confusion in others. To use your analogy, there are some people who remain uneducated even after we have spent thousands on schooling them.

Weird, I didnt realize 20 was hard to get by. Ill make note of this.

Here is my problem with this....

I am still one of those "stuck" I pay my tribute to the FBN typically before a drug traffic etc. Sometimes a few times while in the same city. I still get nothing, unless I bury my account in a city paying just that one FBN agent for ever until my drug units go up I can't do anything more. THAT appears to be a part that will discourage some users. Personally I don't care how long it takes me to get my units up. I will tredge along flying and selling and doing my thing etc. Some people though will get frustrated after spending hundreds of thousands on these FBN to no avail. and simply pack it in.
