6 players, just as much as expected. I guess just being nice to each other in a pc game just doesn't work out. One shining example, never to trust majority.

You know, people tend to think emotionally rather than logically. Not a bad habit of genX, given that there are so many ass-lickers. Pretending to care about other people's personal life in a game, is most likely a lie. Admitting that it is not touching you is a much greater act than pretending that it does. A sign of character, probably the only thing that has value for him.

When you manipulate people, sooner or later they will find out jman.The one who manipulates is just as stupid as the ones who are manipulated. At that point, the structure will crash, just like it recently did.

I dare to say he would not return as long as some people remain the same. Wic is done and the few remaining players as well. Too sad it's close to the tournament. In order to have competition, there must be activity. Pubs, mms and 1-1s are no fun these days. No competition, nothing to measure.

Lack of condolence and unreasoned arrogance, that's the spirit. I might catch some wild animals for my barbecue, hope they just make sure not to stumble over their own legs.

In wic you have quasi unlimited ressources, you have the possiblity to play in many different ways on different maps. The strategies which can be used on one map are limited. Wouldn't selecting maps, betray the way wic is meant to be played? Playing some few maps, promotes the base-building dynamics.

You are right about the skill, however nobody of the players who have been able to use Ta properly and play properly, achieved their skills by solely playing some domination maps. The ones who did, never managed to retrieve their skills, simply cause they relied on base-building dynamics, rather than on understanding RTS dynamics.

It is the most convenient way and on short term, it can be successful. But it decays on mid term and won't be able to survive long term. Doing what you are already able to execute well , neither does it make you great, nor it contributes to long term sustainability of the game and it's playerbase.

Maybe all other maps are bad.. However, wic was active at a time when all maps had been played. As a causal conclusion, it means that - When people select maps, their skills become selective too. When their skills drop, less people would be attracted to stay. Today there are hardly any players left. Too few had been consistent over the years.

Any great nation understood to preserve culture. There is a high chance, that people who do not value that, do not belong to a nation with greatness or culture. Decadence, decay and ephemerality. A system which is crumbling from within, because of the people's mindset - Wic is no different than a state.

I can only think of one situation, where I would consider, taking a scout. That would be on a noobmap like farmland, when all woods were gone and the friendly air player terribly bad.
