not sure how this is inferior to a country whose only point is to maximize net worth.


as to the point that no one hits a land thin dictator
if temple and i ever went to war with each other we would both end up with over 100k acres

you are talking about your 100k acres but no one is seeing them.

And if you just netgained a little better a few sets back you could have made a huge landgrab, Ebert could have done that, but you fell short 250k NW or something.

So, yeah your country was inferior that time too. And I broke 70k and 80k acres on my first try while you failed a second or third time in a row. All because I netgained a little too well for you to retal me.

Just saying, maybe thats the skill you should work on, then perhaps you will reach your goal some day. I never bombed any banks on my land record runs, yet all were successful. Yet you still claim I copied your strat. Well there is obviously a difference somewhere as the success rate shows. :)

Am I the only guy that's going to point out that Gerdler can't spell?

yes.

I thought it ungentlemanly.

Actually, I consider the record to be Ashe's not yours.
Ashe polices the site and when I get close, he takes a quick 20k acres, when you get close, nada.
Does that make you better than me?
Not at Express, I do not play the lesser servers and make friends who help me.
You have friends who didn't hit your 81k and the record before that was obtained by hitting a ton of humans not a single one of whom retaliated. I do not have people who lay down for me on my record attempts like you guys do.
Congrats.

Just to be clear, I harbor no ill will towards Ashe for his conduct the last few times I tried for the record, and I told him so.
He will die early one of these Spring sets though. Play the game however you want just don't whine like you love to do and you really shouldn't boast about tainted records.

If you don't realize that 100k is possible if you used your friends even better that just shows what a noob you are.

There are plenty of industrial strength whiners in this thread Clint, but Gerdler isn't one of them

I did not touch anyone I knew in any of my NW attempts nor did I ask anyone to not retal. I did spy most of them and saw that they could not retal though.

So your cheating allogations are just a noobs way out. You farmed ashe one set and got retalled, you farmed relax another set and he retalled. I'm sure they would have retalled me too, which is why I didn't hit them.

I did not farm players who I know to be capable of retalling me. I didn't need to risk that. I also didnt feel the need to piss anyone I respect off just for a stupid land record that no one but you cares about.

As for the 100k acres, yeah I could probably have gotten that if I cared enough not to overflow and not to play all-xp to 10k acres. But I didn't, I don't need to, I used a set when I could not be active to stick it to you once again, as you really need it considering how you bragged over your cute little luck-out a few months ago.

The lesson doesnt seem to stick. You are just blaming everyone else.

But yeah, it's cute, keep blaming everyone else for your failiures. Thats how everyone succeeds at everything. hah.

the specific examples of his whining which I recall are his numerous plaints about the bots being down and how hard it is to play when you have to think on the fly.

I've said time and time again that if the bots were removed altogether, the same players would still win express over and over again, just with different strategies. Just like I just won Primary without bots and have won it twice in the last four resets, how I've won tournament, also without bots, 3 times in like 7 attempts last year, etc.

Ebert and Elliot are equally successful on other servers.

Ebert just won team with a CI, first time CI won in years, I think. No bots.

Elliot is the first guy who ever got 200k+ acres in a solo game in E2025 when he bullied an entire game of lesser players (no bots there either) for 2.5 months. This was at a time when average land in those games were like 15k acres.

So yeah we would still beat you.

well no game provided bots but most likely players made bots.

so you are saying there are bots in primary, tournament or team now or in random circa 2001?

i'm saying that some players probably had bot countries on soloservers during mehukl's era.

Its kind of like rule 34.

Only instead of porn its bots.

"If it exists on the internet, there are bots for it."

Spell Dead again Gerdler...

lol yeah I ended up the fattest fish that week

Lmao! I just saw this. I like you Clint but you are pretty full of fluff lol. I don't police the server. A lot of the time i don't even retal single grabs on me. And i certainly could care less about land records.

You grabbed me then left a message that if i retalled there would be a "pissing competition". That didn't really sit well with me but i would rather finish well than war any day. I had almost forgotten about it until i saw you bouncing ops on me during your late set attempt for massive land. So i hit you before you hit me.

Don't try to spin this like i was in cahoots with gerdy. Like i said i don't care about land records, missile records or any other bullfluff record you can fabricate. I get lot's of acres because i like to play farmer and indy and that's what it takes to compete against the techers. Not just to have land for no reason. Networth is all that matters to me and how well i finish in the ranks.
