I'm willing to buy you a keg if you teach me how to landgrab effectively in this new landgrabbing era.

I used to pick on bots and bottomfeed when I could, but for the last umteenth sets I've pretty much been all-x.

Any takers?

I live in edmonton!


Landgrabbing 204: LGing in EE

Bottomfeeding -> works, but is not that effective; farm the fluff out of small countries, get medium returns over time

Midfeeding -> gets excellent returns, high retal rate; should add up faster than bottomfeeding; hit a mid-sized alliance you have L:L or 1:1 (or even 2:1 if they're fat) at the right networth ratio, get a fluff-ton of land+ghosties, and then try to mitigate losses by adjusting your nw relative to likely retallers

Topfeeding -> lower returns, you *will* get retalled; massive ghost acres sometimes pay off; topfeeding (hitting a target with more land than you...) if you can get away with it, effectively increases your land, even if you get hit back for L:L, as the ghost acres from a big PS really really help elevate a country; if they're clever and hit back for 70% L:L first hit and equal second hit, you can break even after ghost acres, but this is rare.




Bottom line: best bet is to explore or land-exchange with a mainline alliance, imho, despite the fact that nobody really does this much...

LT lives in Toronto, he tends to grab well.

So after LT teaches him to grab, in a month, we'll see a "Live in Toronto? Know how to destock?" thread?

Ahahaha..

Stocking I do just fine. Destocking I do just fine. But grabbing is making me ill. I need immediate help.

good one... lol

I have no Destocking issues now that the 2b cap is gone ;-)

How is land-exchange with a mainline alliance different from land-exchanging with a member of your own alliance?

midfeed just under losing side's topfeed rules to avoid land:land retalling so gains after retalling are somewhat good.

rick, what alliance do you play in?

just watch me and LAF for the rest of the set, i'll show you how to be effective.

am going to be 1 god damn point over nw every grab on laf so they can shove their L:L up their ass.

who else does L:L these days if you are under, just by 1 point?

i wonder what way they would go if i was the same nw?
1:1 or L:L

That's not how it works. We will retal you l:l for any hit you do on us.

double post

triple post. L:L now and forever.

from laf's retal policies:

"Topfeeds. A topfeed is defined as a landgrab more than 400A in which the retaliation attack will obtain less than 80% of the lost land back."

so if a retaller deliberately chooses to use SS on a retal he could easily make the landgrab on him considered a "topfeed"
this is the most retarded definition of a topfeed i have ever read.

Because you have a chance of "getting away with it" on another alliance, not so much on your own I'd suspect.

I'm in buffalo if you like border hopping. I, however, will never LG in 1A due to laziness. So it's gonna be more of a keg to buy my friendship

no one accepts SS retals for land:land unless authorized by an FA...

I live in Toronto.
Is this the same rick that keeps hiding from us at earth meets?:P

I live in Toronto as well!
But I don't know how to landgrab :D

could still be very easily manipulated to make your returns just under 80% on the first retal.

Again... Clans don't like it when you do that. The only practice I ever see from laffers is maximizing their retals.

Hiding?

A long long long time ago I came in uniform, saw you guys, and left.. but I got pulled out. It wasn't my doing. Ever since, I've only said I'd go if LD shows up again.

:P

Rick ask your alliance to help you. You have 3 members that live in the GTA that I know of. Also i am sure there is more in WOF.

Kill4Free and I live just mins from toronto.

there are *lots* of earthers that live/lived in the GTA. Many of whom were leaders/high positions in tags at one point or another.

LET THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES BEGIN!:P

Toronto is the new Winnipeg!

lol that sounds so wrong.

lives in the outskirts of toronto as well =P!

yes.. on so many levels:P
