i couldn't agree more with the title of this thread.

with the recent conflict our gang is involved with, i have enjoyed more excitement from this game than I have in a long time.

in fact, i reached a point of almost quitting because the game became like a bad episode of "lost" in that i had to check back every 30 minutes just to make sure i entered in the secret code just to make sure I was playing right (doing crimes/training the gym to increase my stats as much as possible).

now that I'm in this great conflict, stimming out at the right time when their leader is away for a few minutes so that i can maximize my thunder is way more exciting than doing crimes and training at the gym (ala mindlessly pushing the buttons on the computer to make sure the island doesn't explode). FINALLY THERE IS ACTUAL STRATEGY!

this sense of actual strategy has at some points has literally got my heart racing, making the game truly exciting!!!! it reminds me of when gang wars actually meant something and you really had to weigh the options of who is online, what my AP is, etc.

so i only hope that our current conflict and my gang continues to agree that we will not surrender to demands of terrorists and we can enjoy actually fighting each other in this game of fighting, and it doesn't go back to just mindlessly logging in, doing crimes, training at the gym, and then logging off. perhaps this game can be altered to capitalize on making changes that find a way to create this excitement b/w gangs and players outside of personal bickering and childishness that the 499ers find themselves in today.

good luck to you zen in upgrading the site to it's fullest potential to create a true environment of gang on gang and person on person feuding that isn't simply the product of who can donate more, or click the magic "lost" button the most!

SWEET RANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
