Despite winning games, and even though it's ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS A DEV WRONGLY SUICIDED ON ME AND RAGE QUIT [ask him yourself prime], there's no point continuing to play. If one can, they all can. I can never beat someone with a literal get out of jail free card, and retribution would never be worth the effort.

Z was kind, but I have no reason to be. You are all literal trash and I hope you all keep playing. I'd rather keep getting listless handies from your wife than continue to interact with a community more toxic and thoughtless than Lol's.

Gg, bye Felicia, go fk yourselves, whatever. Your dead game is minus another one, and I get the rest of the set off.

Played half of PSs resets, including first 2/last 2, and never played with a trumpoz. But what does it matter now?

Game is still the toxic trash heap it was when I quit a decade ago, but with far fewer lols. Gg

He took 6k acres from me and he was dead before i could retal... YAY

The current set is tough for land targets, I was averaging 2k per day stopped at 60k. But a 6k hit is 3 days worth of work for me. No chance to retal.

Yayness.


2k/day is not even trying
Plus your post should be deleted because it tells us your break and assets onhand.

Agree. The idea would need some nuance around it.
There are 2 things that immediately come to mind

1a) The reference point should not be current land, but land from say 24 hrs prior. Otherwise, someone through sheer volume could be up to grabbing massive amounts per grab by the end of their run.

1b) On the receiving side, if someone get smashed by someone, the should have the opportunity to return the favor. Less alliance driven, but if someone gets farmed down by 50% in express, it would be devastating to have your returns limited by this kind of rule.

2) Bottomfeeding retals would get ugly fast if the mechanic was overly complex. My first thought is there being an available window to retaliate any aggressor. But if someone gets quad tapped in a bottom feed, what's the appropriate window?

[quote poster=Requiem; 47946; 919347][quote poster=AtticusRex; 47946; 919345][quote poster=Requiem; 47946; 919340]The word like has developed several non-traditional uses in informal speech. Especially since the late 20th century onward, it has appeared, in addition to its traditional uses, as a colloquialism across all dialects of spoken English, serving as a discourse particle, filler, hedge, speech disfluency, or other metalinguistic unit.[3] Although these particular colloquial uses of like appear to have become widespread rather recently, its use as a filler is a fairly old regional practice in Welsh English and, in Scotland, it was used similarly at least as early as the 19th century. It may also be used in a systemic format to allow individuals to introduce what they say, how they say and think.[4]

Despite such prevalence in modern-day spoken English, these colloquial usages of like rarely appear in writing (unless the writer is deliberately trying to replicate colloquial dialogue) and they have long been stigmatized in formal speech or in high cultural or high social settings. Furthermore, this use of like seems to appear most commonly, in particular, among natively English-speaking children and adolescents, while less so, or not at all, among middle-aged or elderly adults. One suggested explanation for this phenomenon is the argument that younger English speakers are still developing their linguistic competence, and, metalinguistically wishing to express ideas without sounding too confident, certain, or assertive, use like to fulfill this purpose.[3]

In pop culture, such colloquial applications of like (especially in verbal excess) are commonly and often comedically associated with Valley girls, as made famous through the song "Valley Girl" by Frank Zappa, released in 1982, and the film of the same name, released in the following year. The stereotyped "valley girl" language is an exaggeration of the variants of California English spoken by younger generations.

This non-traditional usage of the word has been around at least since the 1950s, introduced through beat and jazz culture. The beatnik character Maynard G. Krebs (Bob Denver) in the popular Dobie Gillis TV series of 1959-1963 brought the expression to prominence; this was reinforced in later decades by the character of Shaggy on Scooby-Doo (who was based on Krebs).

A very early use of this locution[citation needed] can be seen in a New Yorker cartoon of 15 September 1928, in which two young ladies are discussing a man's workplace: "What's he got - an awfice?" "No, he's got like a loft."

It is also used in the 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange by the narrator as part of his teenage slang and in the Top Cat cartoon series from 1961 to 1962 by the jazz beatnik type characters.

A common eye dialect spelling is lyk.

Examples
Like can be used in much the same way as "um..." or "er..." as a discourse particle. It has become common especially among North American teenagers to use the word "like" in this way; see Valspeak, discourse marker, and speech disfluency:

I, like, don't know what to do.
It is also becoming more often used (Northern England English, Hiberno-English and Welsh English in particular) at the end of a sentence, as an alternative to you know. This usage is sometimes considered to be a colloquial interjection and it implies a desire to remain calm and defuse tension:

I didn't say anything, like.
Just be cool, like.
Use of like as a filler has a long history in Scots English, as in Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novel Kidnapped:

'What'll like be your business, mannie?'
'What's like wrong with him?' said she at last.

Like can be used as hedge to indicate that the following phrase will be an approximation or exaggeration, or that the following words may not be quite right, but are close enough. It may indicate that the phrase in which it appears is to be taken metaphorically or as a hyperbole. This use of like is sometimes regarded as adverbial, as like is often synonymous here with adverbial phrases of approximation, such as "almost" or "more or less." Examples:

I have, like, no money.
The restaurant is only, like, five miles from here.
I, like, died!
They, like, hate you!
In the UK Reality Television Series Love Island the word ‘Like’ has been used an average of 300 times per episode, much to the annoyance of viewers. [5] [/quote]

Im sure he was hoping id retal his double retal on me so he could unload those. Thats why i waited till 180 seconds left to send an extra 5ps his way, to find out i couldnt.

I ll war you or C....I would net on express but everytime I try I get to fighting or suicided or ABed idk why but I do... Remember also youre critizing my country after your ABed me so ya..I really dont feel like netting after this set but I ll try.


I generally try not to notice the 'help'. Dipshiits get defensive when they're told they're terrible at the things I don't want to do.

But please, continue to tell me how much of a badass you are IRL. Im super interested in your perception of yourself, and how it translates to your being nothing but a cumrag in this game.

I'll save us both the effort now, express war is just punishment. We don't need to punish since CX already did. You need enlightenment, and the only thing left is to prove you are incompetent at netting. It'll be hard for you to not be a dumbass, but if you try, you might be able to prove you're a failure at everything.

My ass is kinda lackluster lately, but I swing a pretty decent stick. Its been a while since I tried, so my shot might be pretty big. You think you could take it all?

I may be tempted to play. Vs 2 people you could surely out net one of them?
