    So I got a response back from NateDog. The ban will definitely not be lifted. I guess I'm starting over again. My new account is "nhayden". It doesn't appear that creating a new account is a problem.

    Well screw him! I did a search for 'natedog' and got two hits. I say we nuke them both.

    You want to nuke the coder/main admin of this game. LOL. This is all I have to say about that (NSFW):

    I sent you an invite. And I hope you don't mind, but we're been pillaging your old account for cash and oil. Might as well get some use out of it.

    Don't want to post this in the Cartel chat or even a PM in the game, because who knows how the devs monitor stuff..

    There's a small chance that I might not be able to participate in the strike Sunday. If not, I will be willing to let someone else use my forces, BUT it needs to be from a different IP, because I think that's how they busted Darkhorse- his IP was signing onto different accounts. I don't think this is cheating, but Natedog may see it differently.

    I'll know more closer to the attack date/time.

    Just another reminder for people who don't read the in-game cartel message board. The attack on Roadkill Confederation is set for this Sunday 6pm est (5 pm Houston).

    The schedule of attack is below. I only assigned the people that sent me their distances from the targets. If I didn't list you down, but you want to participate, then just join one of the attack teams at the appropriate times (just make sure that you're close enough to the target, so you don't run out of oil).

    We'll all be in the Cartel Chat during the attack. And check the Cartel Message Board for all the news if you don't regularly do so:

    Go ahead and join in on the attack with everyone else attacking him. Sunday, 6:20 pm est (5:20 pm Houston). Come by the chat at 5:45-6:00 to watch everybody in action:

    http://oilempires.itch.com/chat.cfm?defaultToClan=1

    I think we're safe posting in this thread for now. Maybe not after this Sunday. But I was still wondering how many people just look and this thread, and don't read the in-game cartel message board:

    http://oilempires.itch.com/messagecenter.cfm?view=cartel

    So I posted some of the sensitive information here. Don't think it'll bite us yet.

    Yes.

    The cartel board is better to use for questions, since we check it regularly.

    DO NOT LOG INTO THE GAME UNTIL 9PM EASTERN on WEDNESDAY!

    Anyone still playing, please email me at xerobull@gmail.com . We have some changes brewing and I'd like to talk to everyone about it. The in-game PM system is disabled due to end of turn, and PMing folks on cf.net is a pain.

    If you see this message today or tomorrow before noon, one VERY important thing:

    DO NOT LOG INTO THE GAME UNTIL 9PM EASTERN on WEDNESDAY!

    It's the start of the new round at 1PM Eastern. The earlier you log on, the sooner you get spawned on the map. It goes from the inside out, and you will get put in the land rush of big cartels. That's not where we want to be. We want a buffer of a hundred miles or so between us and the heavy hitters to make the early round easier on new/inexperienced folks.

    Thanks!
    -Xerobull

    P.S.: DO NOT LOG INTO THE GAME UNTIL 9PM EASTERN on WEDNESDAY! :D

    I've gotten a few replies- thanks guys! We have to get coordinated before the start of the next round.

    Again: DO NOT LOG INTO THE GAME UNTIL 9PM EASTERN on WEDNESDAY!

    Email me if you have any questions! xerobull@gmail.com

    Thanks!

    I started an account last session and just as my empire started looking nice this new one takes me by surprise :mad:
    anyways since we're all back on the same level could somebody hook me up on an invite?
    also are you guys using the pro, or casual server now?

    ...I saw this after logging in. Ah well. 3 hours difference, I'll probably be isolated.

    Then again, think I can fend for myself, so we'll see.

    Hoping for a BIG next round :D
