Speaking of, I'm considering ending this round on the 15th at midnight.

Any objections?

OBJECTION.

Josh and I are still in the middle of developing the next round. The changes are drastic (for instance, percentage troop gains are an unfixable imbalance, so we're going with static gains) but since the official reset date was still weeks away there was time to work on it. Plus, we were going to post the game changes on the open forum a week in advance so players would have time to review it and make their choices before zero hour.

Besides that, there are some problems with the game itself that we suspect will take more effort to fix. For instance, at the very start of this round Josh stumbled into a glitch that allows excessive gains (he did it for troops, but i assume it can be done for cash as well). We've been avoiding it ever since, because this round was supposed to be for collecting hard data to give directions to our changes for the next round, although we suspect other players may be abusing it as part of their normal play. I need to talk to someone who can make changes to the game interface (waff?) about some ideas to curb the abuse, though. It should be rather simple, at least in theory.

In short: moar time.
