[Resolved] Population Title promotion

Mission begun on 8 October 2013

To accomplish this:

"3. Exterminate port population" I have to reduce the population of Psaral by 16,484,150 Citizens. After two Black Death cards I have accomplished this:

Progress
Achieved: 1,241,354 Citizens Exterminated
Number required: 16,484,150 Citizens

At 1% per card, I will need to use about 31 cards total. This seems a bit disproportional not to mention the bad karma associated with this type of action.

are there any Jews playing this game? vaguely connected to the karma bit i guess... it does seem kinda strange that we've all committed multiple virtual holocausts, it's... unique to say the least.

now i comment on the pragmatics.... 31 cards does seem a bit steep. it would seem pragmatic to focus these missions only on the vastly overpopulated ports. Akrotiri has 69 million people as of this posting for example, and ive seen other ports with far more... i imagine this is actually the current intention of this mechanic (Psaral has 61), so it might make sense for the mission to change to the most populated port at any given time, or just make the black death card more lethal overall.

Or you can lower the mission requirement to reflect the card change, not punish those who have used their cards to increase the ports.

All mission requirements have been nerfed already. Existing missions have not been affected. It is not possible.

The reasons you see such a high difference are two:
1)Someone else has affected the port population after your mission start.
2)You took the mission before the change.

The best would be to cancel it and re-take it. If you would like, send a PM to #1 and I will help you out a bit as you are affected by the change.
