I can't speak for this round, but last round I got so p*ssed off with it I went out after the first hour of constant crap weather. And the round before, actually.

Ehh, complaining about the weather is a bit pointless, yeah it impacts starts, but it impacts everyones pretty much equally :p

But yeah, did appear to be one of the worst in a while.

wasn't the clouds that bothered me really. just the rain. wasn't complaining, just noticing.

I quite like bad weather. It adds a more tactical element to the start rather than everyone just planting over and over again. Do you gamble and plant and hope that you gain an advantage? Or wait and keep your seeds until the weather improves?

The weather is the same for everyone, but at least you can use bad weather to gain an edge, whereas in good weather everyone just does the same thing.

Always plant. Unless heavy rain then plant a tiny bit for more gards in the future.

Clearly this round has a powerblock, and they're just all idiots that want to make a bot farm together to touch one another in. This round is gay 4 lyf 2k12.

was there a post deleted? continuity in this thread doesn't track. and why do people think there is a power block? my brief glance through alliances pages looks like everyone has lost land to someone and that two peoples are pulling ahead.

aroo?
