Inspector Gadget Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 'Robotman'? Really? Is that really necessary? I too have been playing Victory since early 90's. 1992 to be exact, and I think we can both agree that gaming, and more specifically, the gaming market/landscape is vastly different than it was over twenty years ago. It seems you are under the impression that I am somehow attempting to malign Russ or RTG with my comments. My comments were no different than any other person that has offered up ideas or voiced concern, complaints, or a desire for change to one or more facets of the game whether it be it's mechanics, accessibility, etc. Please tell me what I said that is actually wrong? If Victory was just fine the way it is, this thread and many others like it on the RTG forum would not exist. Also, if the people that took the time to post their concerns, including me, didn't genuinely care about Victory's future longevity and dare I dream growth, none of us including me would bother to take the time to offer ideas on multiple occasions, voice our concerns or communicate our heartfelt hopes for RTG's and yes, Russ's future success. We all love this game and we all like and respect Russ's great efforts to run and maintain a game we all love, but we also all see that it is slowly losing active members. That affects not only we the players, but it obviously affects Russ as well. The game is indeed still running after your 10 year absence, but the number of returning players has shrunk significantly and the pool of potential new players has all but disappeared. Now, while the source of any change that takes place, big or small, does lie ultimately with Russ, the reality is that it is not based purely on Russ's 'desire' to make changes. It would also take time, knowledge and money. Depending on the changes desired, one or more of those things may be keeping him from making those changes and we all have to be sensitive to that. Maybe Russ has already run the numbers and done the research on what it would take to make the kinds of changes many of us are requesting. Maybe he's come to the conclusion it's simply not feasible. I don't know. But no matter the situation facing Russ, it's up to him in the end whether such changes are made. So 'LordPatton', I'll ask again. Where am I wrong in my assessment of where the genesis of any change must come from if it is really going to happen? That, and the futility of endlessly talking about what we'd like to see change without Russ as an active or able participant was the whole point of my post. Not a knock on Russ at all. Just a dose of reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordPatton Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just Heard From Russ, he says 98 is about %80 to the start number. So we need about 6 more players and we can get this party started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Leader Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Maybe I should try something new and dangerous- signing up for a game WITHOUT established allies. It will be a challenge to finish this game as I plan to be homeless in 2 1/2 years. Of course that's assuming I make it that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'm also getting into this game all alone this time. No pre-arranged alliances whatsoever.... Anyone want to make one? I have no problems with total allies on the other end of the map. Better than none at all..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
