Hi I'm jem6502

And I'm tunneling in from the other side of the matrix on planet Glox 9.  Follow the white rabbit.

Your earth model is quaint I shall play your 'hacker' game and roleplay it as a novice.  'N00b' as you would say.

Kick it.

Hahah. Thanks for deigning to favor us with your presence :P

My first take is that the high rollers soviet pride et al were able to spread rapidly onto 'virgin' territory.  They were the 'first wave'.

Now for a new person there is greater competition and already higher level wares in place which you have to work against so you can't spread as rapidly as they did.

Personally I like to play this as a learning experience so competition is fine but I would like to see a new player have the time to learn what various things do before getting completely owned by higher level players.  Also even only after a couple days playing I see a potential for the game turning into a lot of 'scurrying around repetitively covering your tracks'.  I would like to see the game evolve in a direction that de-emphasizes this as after you get the gist of log files it can become unfun fast.

lol welcome, and I see you've formed an opinion which (I think) alot of people (partly) support.

I hope you have fun anyway :D
