One I've never seen till today, read it on ring.. Have a safe holiday!

Dear neighbors,
I don’t mean to be a Grinch, however....to those of you who are placing Christmas lights/decorations in your yards, would you please avoid anything that has Red or Blue flashing lights together!! Every time I come around the corner, I think it's the police and I have a panic attack. I have to brake hard, toss my beer out the window, fasten my seat belt, throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, and push the gun under the seat. All while trying to drive. It's just too much drama, even for Christmas. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

maybe if advertisers were charged more we could pay people to play....🤑

Ya, Express is great, and yes the game was a different beast with 1000s of players.

When I first started my favorite were the "random games" that would have like 80-120 players each.

Eclectic mix there Cathankins. I kept waiting for the Bad Omens clip to start screaming, but they didn't. I liked it The bluegrass sound of Red Rocking Chair was cool, lady had a hell of a voice.

I wish I had a time machine. Because man! playing this game with 1000's of players was some crazy good times.

Update: This person has claimed country #64 on the EE Discord

Mr Titanium is that you?

I think the purpled players are Ratski and AMJ2, this other guy whoever he is did not pull his shenanigans in such a way as to allow him to jump out of range of retals pointing to something other than the type of cheating smlandau was doing.

I wonder if it's Cerberus.

ETA - if my verbiage is unclear above, I'm saying that #64 doesn't look like he's cheating, just trying to set a land record and/or be a giant douche to everyone.

HAWK,

It's real simple.

The delay was explained. It was a delay due to the actions of the banned. We all had to wait, as a result of the actions of MOST of the banned players. The ones who, for about a year now, attacked players personally and publicly, then turned their relentless toxicity on the volunteer game staff for enforcing the staff's definition of the game rules. Instead of accepting their short term fate, they went to war against the volunteer game staff. Should some of those folks get another go? Yes. But there are many of em that deserve the time they got. They acted almost criminally, and in one case, DEFINTALLY broke a couple laws.

I see the "a-hole" thing from both sides. The country name was a mash up of "ban all and dissent", referencing a political figure and certain talk show hosts, and taken from some show or movie or something. From cyref's side, I can see his reasoning for the name, and how it was shocking to get called on it, I can also see the game staff side, where for like a year, they have been relentlessly publicly attacked, insulted, and accused of stuff, that normal adults would have resolved privately in some sort of conversation or legal type of mediated situation or something. So i get it. It could have been seen as a dig at the staff. I myself have been banned 3 times for getting wrapped up in the scandals and toxic behavior. I hated it. It's not the Empy that played in 99 to 2000 whatever year. We are in our 50's, 60's and 70s around here. Why are we acting like children? JUST PLAY and engage and WAR. That's how we keep alliance. Otherwise we'll be netting with the girls on coop.

With that said, through a short discussion, and a couple of thank you's, and perhaps didn't even impact it at all, showing some appreciation for keeping this game and SERVER open for whatever amount of years for us to act like toxic 13 year olds hopped up on snorted pixie sticks before gym class, we got the november start date we want, and we get to keep alliance.

Now you wanna show up here and F it up?

We got the explanation. We got an analogy to explain for those of us who don't understand.
We got the date we wanted. So start a country.

JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME. Cue the bootlicker comments. I could care less.
We get to play something that should have died A LONG TIME ago.
Wanna trash me for supporting the volunteer staff? Go ahead, no affect on my life WHAT- SO - EVER.

You should look into buying spy tech as a casher.

I knew my DH on 76 to begin was a bad omen xD

Congrats to the winner and gg everyone!

Glhf next

I do love an arbitrary 20:1 retal policy 😂

he is playing again? Didnt the mods already ban and disable new accounts per the facebook / mod chat post about a guy not being able to make a country?
