Oh, and try not to colonize too near my isles.  It creeps me out.

Your smooth shell is so alluring :wub:

IK without making the server go down (could be the cause of all the crashes), we are currently tool-less.


I suspect that tools gone wild are the likely cause of this. To prevent this anyone working on a tool should have all page requests go through a function that follows this algorithm


$tread_softly = 2;
function page_request($url){
global $tread_softly;
sleep($tread_softly);
$page = whatever_func_you_use_to_get_page($url);
if($page is failure){
$tread_softly = $tread_softly * 2;
if($tread_softly>32){
//IK is suffering - kill the program
exit;
}else{
return page_request($url);
}
}
return $page;
}


I follow something vaguely similar to this, and IK has yet to go down midway through any of my scrapes (I have checked every time).

Without having a sleep in there, you can easily overwhelm the site with requests since you will be running them as fast as you can generate them. This will make the program run much slower and will take considerable time to complete, but the load from it is probably less than what a typical user generates.

Some people, on the other hand view you as more of a freeloader. You came into our alliance, colonized one of our inactive players with our permission and then just blatantly left.

They can view things however they like. I recognized A-team's potential shortly after I sent my col fleet and decided to switch (I realized it when I was making up the chart to show alliance trajectories). The two are unrelated. There were so many in-actives available at that time, that if I were planning on leaving mafia, I would have taken an unaligned one instead to avoid having bad blood since it would have been just as easy.

So, people can view things through whatever distorting glasses they like.

Well, we miss you. Good luck in all your future endevours. Sorry you can't be a part of both alliances. I think you were a good member of the Mafia, for the short stay you were one. Although I'm not so happy you just added to the ATeam members that now surround me.

Well its pretty clear there will be 2 ultra-dominate alliances soon, if not already. Cyc (and its babies) and A-teams scores are far outpacing everyone else.

Looks like theres really only 20-25 active alliances, speaking of is digg2 done?
Some folklores say Lü Dongbin was a womanizer and a heavy drinker, even after becoming immortal, while some other folklores say otherwise.

They are still doing pretty ok, and are in the top 10 alliances, so I wouldn't count them out. They did take a little bit of a score drop recently:

Mafia is in this for the long haul too. Don't count us out yet, we may not be "super" but we still can be a strong player. I'd say we're probably the third strongest alliance represented on this forum.

I know this is an old topic but I wanted to chime in.

As for the design of W2 it's fine, and so is W1 for that matter.
It is not image heavy and works great on my smart phone.

I don however agree with some of the things robkohr and some other players have mentioned in the past regarding gameplay upgrades.

But at the same time part of what makes IK so good is it's simple-complexity...if that makes any sense lol
