Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: threefingeredguy on March 22, 2007, 10:58:00 pm
I play a game with some members of a forum called Genmay (short for General Mayhem). The game is http://cybernations.net/
It's a browser game where you form nations and you can trade and fight other nations. Right now a huge war (so big in fact that it's the third global war in the history of the game) has erupted, and our alliance is under attack by a much stronger one. Unfortunately my squad is comprised of mostly inactive members and we need more people to help. If any of you could join up and send me a PM, that'd be great. My name in the game is threefingeredguy. For your own safety DON'T join our alliance until you're told to. We're being attacked daily by new enemies.
After the war is won (we're allied with one of the strongest alliances in the game so we're bound to win eventually) there will be lots of wartime spoils to distribute. If you don't want to participate in the war, feel free to join up anyway and set your nation to peaceful. However if you do that, you're not likely to get foreign aid until after the war is over since it's a fairly pressing matter. It's a fun game, give it a try :)smile.gif

It looks fun, but:

"The Cyber Nations register screen is down for maintenance. Please try again later."

Yeah, the war got so big they decided to close registration. It's the biggest war in the history of the game.

I was able to register right now too.

3fg:  What is your nation called?

rivereye:  What are you going to call your nation?

I'm not sure what I'm going to call my nation, yet.

EDIT:  Also, what nation team are you on?

Be on black team. That way we can get trade bonuses.

My name is threefingeredguy of Craggy Island. PM me for info in getting into my alliance. Be very careful that you don't get attacked.

I tried to login today, but:

QUOTE

Since the Cyber Nations forums have been disabled to give everyone a break from things due to the misbehavior of numerous individuals getting out of control recently I wanted to come here and give everyone an update on the status of the game. Along with the misbehavior in the forums over the past week Cyber Nations was also the victim of numerous denial of service attacks in an attempt to bring the sever down by increasing bandwidth beyond capacity. I worked for much of the night on 3/30 and felt confident that I had successfully stopped the attacks against the game. This morning, however, I received a report that something more serious had happened, that the source code for the game had been stolen. I have a good idea when and how this happened based on the date stamp of the stolen files and I do believe that the game databases have not been tampered with but since I cannot be certain of this at this time I have shut down the game to ensure the security of the site.



All of this has occurred during a time that was suppose to be the most joyous and wonderful time for my family. My wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Emily Michelle, on Thursday 3/29/2007. She is our firstborn daughter and we have been anxiously awaiting her arrival for quite some time. Unfortunately I have been unable to enjoy her arrival because of recent attacks against the game and other distractions surrounding it. I ask for everyone?s patience and kind thoughts as I work to deal with the threats against the game and enjoy the arrival of our daughter.



Sincerely,

Kevin (admin)





Update 4/1/2007: Cyber Nations will resume game play in a couple of days. The databases are secure and as soon as some updates are made in an effort to reduce update lag the game will be turned back online. Those who wish to continue to attack the game once it is brought back online and those who wish to use stolen source code from the game will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

yeah, I noticed that.

Also, I have yet to be accepted into Genmay alliance. If I do not get a response soon on that, I may start looking into another alliance.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: trevmeister66 on April 02, 2007, 04:39:00 pm
yeah, saw that too, sad thing.
I haven't chosen an alliance yet, maybe we could create like an Omnimaga one!

Post by: dinhotheone on April 12, 2007, 02:09:00 pm
i think you broke the game with your war, it still wont let me create a name...
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 12, 2007, 02:30:00 pm
nah, it is just the war is getting large, trying to prevent multiple nations from one person.

Btw, I joined the Commonwealth of International Nations alliance, and I like it there . I recommend you join there (just for reference of how much they can help, I am already 3 times stronger than 3fg is now).
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: threefingeredguy on April 12, 2007, 03:37:00 pm
You're stronger than me because I got ZI'd and anarchied. Plus I haven't recieved any AIDS (about to get $3mil though) and you have.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 13, 2007, 12:40:00 am
yeah, and the aids were from alliance members. I guess the attacking things would hurt. Ah well, stay where you want.

CIN ftw!!!

Post by: threefingeredguy on April 13, 2007, 01:23:00 pm
I had 2000 NS before I got attacked by 5 people. >.<
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 13, 2007, 01:55:00 pm
ok then, but how long have you been playing by chance?
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: threefingeredguy on April 13, 2007, 06:39:00 pm
Exactly one month. I got to 2000 NS in 10 days, then I lost it from the 23rd to the 1st. From the 2nd until now I've been slowly rebuilding. Once I get my AIDS I should hit around 1.5k NS, putting me even with you.

WTF you got 2.5million in AIDS. That's a ridiculous amount.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 14, 2007, 03:10:00 pm
it was a tech deal, that is why.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: threefingeredguy on April 15, 2007, 02:35:00 am
Aha, tech is very expensive.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 15, 2007, 10:38:00 am
it can be anyways, but it is helpful (I have about 21 tech, and my population is happy, even though I have a high tax rate).
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: threefingeredguy on April 15, 2007, 08:32:00 pm
I have the highest tax rate possible and my population adores me. There's no reason to have that much tech at your NS. Wait until your NS is 16k+ then worry about tech.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 16, 2007, 08:45:00 am
ok, I will keep that in mind on the tech (my rate is 28% atm also).

Also, I need a tech trade middleman, if you are interested, let me know (PM me at CN or here, there is money involved (bfr, this would really help you out, collect your taxes with the tech in your posession, then send it to the guy who I request).
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: threefingeredguy on April 16, 2007, 03:02:00 pm
Nah, I'm about to recieve 3 million in AIDS for war reparations and I need to have all 4 slots open.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 16, 2007, 03:06:00 pm
ok, that is a good amount (though I go 3mil for a 100 tech deal).
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: threefingeredguy on April 16, 2007, 05:12:00 pm
I just get to spend it on whatever, probably not on tech.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 17, 2007, 08:29:00 am
yeah, that is helpful. Right now, I am going to hold onto the tech, as I am in war now.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: threefingeredguy on April 17, 2007, 09:43:00 am
Yeesh, yeah. THAT'S when you want a tech surplus. I lost like 15 tech during my wars with FARK.

Just CM the crap out of them, you'll do just fine.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on April 17, 2007, 02:03:00 pm
well, so far, but after I declared war, I use some of my money to build up resources, so I had a very high strength. Hopefully things go ok.
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: dinhotheone on May 22, 2007, 12:52:00 pm
well i finally was able to make a name, umm i dont see either of your alliances on here though, just FAN | GOLD | GGA | GOONS | GPA | IRON
Legion | NPO | NpO | ODN | ONOS | VE   <-- those

im Areign and my nation is the Aiel Waste
Title: Cybernations, a fun game
Post by: rivereye on May 22, 2007, 04:18:00 pm
those are the top alliances in the game. You could join NADC (the north atlantic defense coalition), as we will make sure that you make the right decisions in growing your nation, plus after you reach a certain level, you can receive a bonus package from us, which can help your nation significantly right now. If you are interested, go to http://forum.nadc-alliance.com and sign up, and if you choose to, make sure you let them know that rivereye sent you.

Also, please note that the CIN alliance has disbanded because of some issues with the New Polar Order (NpO). I hope that none of the Omnimaga memers ever join them.
