Have been collectively unbanned.  Ships table has been wiped due to fascinating bugs.  Apologies to folks who lost tokens due to this, but you;re not getting them back.  Expect to be mopping up for a while to come.

It has become painfully obvious that the vast majority of this alliance is a cheat.  I have just banned ALL of them.  People who are legitimate and want to be reenstated can pm me in the forums to discuss the process.

OK, some of you clearly can't handle freedom of speach.  Names and Descriptions should be no more than PG-13.  That means nothing with an F bomb, or the S word, no sexual terms or sex related body parts.  Nothing that is hate speech, racist, anti- a specifi group or religon.  Also this is not the be all end-all list, the Admins ALLWAYS reserve the right to make you change any names or descriptions that we do not like.

In the last several days I have found a very large number of totally innapropriate names & desdriptions consequently I will be changing the procedure that I use to deal with violators. From now on when I find a very innapropriate name or description I will change them, then I will put the user into pause for a week.  Your second offence will result in a month ban, the third offense will earn a permanent ban. I will give everyone until Monday morning to clean up your names after that, the banning will begin!

I'm seeing a lot of things I don't like on the forums.  Flaming, trolling, all kinds of cussing on a game played by kids.  Roll play is one thing, but there are limits to everything.  So consider this your collective warning to either start playing nice with each other or start getting banned from the forums and having game accounts reset to starting levels.

I realize that we Canadians are supposed to have a reputation for being peaceful and tolerant and understanding and all that other fun stuff...but I've been watching a lot of American TV lately, so that's all gone out the window.

Good day to you all.

EDIT:  Also, I've reduced the defend limits somewhat.  You can now take 1 more attack per time period then you can make.

Hey Everyone. I'm Alpert, the new Admin on the block. If you ever need anything, please ask me. I am currently implementing the Masking / Sanction System.

The Top 5 Alliances every 2 months will become sanctioned, and have their own forum usergroup.

I have internet again, so work is indeed being done.  But because of the backend changes needed for the rewrite, I'm going to be performing a game reset within the very near future, since I've been informed that the game is rather badly in need of one.

update

Sell all your ref ships to keep your tokens.  I'm not replacing any tokens lost with your ships.

I have internet.  I fixed the site.  Go play.

OK, to devote more time to the very badly needed site upgrade I will be putting my island in pause mode. I will still be checking in and reading the forums, just won't eb playing.  It takes up too much of my already very thinly stretched time.  Once I get a bit further into the process I will decide if we will start another round soon or just wait for the rebuild.

The good news is that the Seapowers site should now be much faster and we should all have less problems with pages hanging.  The bad news is that in the process of fixing things all in game mail was deleted.  Sorry about that.  Also, in the future mail will be deleted once it is more than 3 weeks old.

OK Boys & Girls I am getting reallly tired of these duplicate accounts that you keep creating. So let's go over the rules again one more time. (please keep in mind that these rules apply to novapowers as well.)

Each individual real person may only have ONE (1) account, there are NO exceptions!

We understand that more than one person may have an account at the same IP address.

If you create muliple accounts and cooperate with me when you get caught you will lose all but one.

If you fail to cooperate or give me some garbage story that cannot possibly be believed you will lose all of your accounts!

I understand that some real players may be lost or inconvenienced by these rules but I can't stand the blatant cheating.  I deleted 10 accounts yesterday that were all bogus duplicate accounts from the same alliance (not a record though, I once deleted all 20+ accounts in an alliance b/c they were all the same A-hole).  Cheating this way ruins the game for everyone else and I am sick & tired of it.

If you believe that you know of someone who is running multiple accounts please PM me a list of accounts that you believe are connected and I will look into it at once.

If you currently have more than one account you can let me know now and save yourself the potential loss of your account and me a lot of trouble.
