I just found out something very interesting. It seems the people who manage the game also play the game and are some of the highest ranking players in the game. And most of them are founding members, if not leaders, of most of the major alliances. And they are the ones who take the game into world war when donations start to fall off. It seems that people become complacent in their cyberspace gaming and need an occasional push. So they manufacture a war where a lot of players loose everything they have invested into the game. When the war is over those hard core players shell out $20.00 a pop and get other players to do the same in trade deals so that they can reconstruct their nations.
It is really quite a brilliant little scheme the owners of cybernation have going. And of course, they don't have to work at rebuilding their nations, they simply edit the data files and PRESTO they are back to full strength.
Ya, sounds like a really fun game to be a part of, that is if you enjoy being conned and manipulated.

I'm not sure where you got your information from. It was common knowledge that mods played the game, but as far as I know, none are involved in running alliances. Several of the largest alliances in the game are definitely not being run by admin or his mods. Admin has had a number of quote test nations, and I believe they are marked as such. His attempt to play like you or I ended in failure when he was attacked by \m/. That nation is was ZI'd and he deleted it. If you're suggesting the current GW3 is some sort of cash cow that he started to get money, why has the donation screen been down for most of the war? Further, today I learned that he will not being accepting donations from this point on. Doesn't sound like someone pulling strings from behind the curtain to me. May be a mute point anyway since someone hacked the game computers and the game is off-line, given all the trouble there has been with the CN forums which have been offline since yesterday and the hacking, I wouldn't blame him if he just shut it all down, or did a reset. Have to see how long it's down.
