Evo has never done a buyout as far as I remember; I think we attempted one in RED but it failed due to lack of member interest... who want's to boost somebody else's country when you could boost your own ;)

Finally did the signature thing.

very very nice Evo :) but sadly your avg nw is not legit as well.

you farmed countries in your tag then detagged them , if u kept them in ur tag , your anw would be lower :)

still a very good job!

just turn off detagging the same time that you turn off vacation mode, then they wouldn't be able to legitimately raise their avg nw by dropping countries.

...you mean like what pretty much every alliance does with inactive countries? Methinks you're grasping at straws here.

Also, we don't detag countries after 2 weeks before a reset ends. Being that ANW is the main crown we go for, dropping countries in that fashion cheapens the achievement.

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

I added the bit about not dropping countries close to the end of a reset in my last post, probably right after you posted last, dibs.

Also, I'm not very sure why market buyouts are suddenly considered 'legitimate' by people who not only aren't very familiar with netting, but who also chastised Llaar and others for doing the exact same thing back in Earth:2025.

To each his/her own, I guess...

it doesn't cheapen it anymore than convincing somebody to join your tag would heighten it. the game is too dynamic for it to actually have any value.

Dynamic? Only because the admins are changing stuff around...

And it only takes one person to detag a bunch of low-net countries, and that person can do them all simultaneously, very easily, with no input from anyone else. It takes more than one person to tag a bunch of countries to a specific alliance. Hence, the cheapness of dropping countries just to get an ANW crown.

lol @ SMz

As what Nuke said... what will you do to a country that is inactive and is still a month away till the end of set? Detag them right? But before you detag them, you don't want those precious acres gone to waste or go to the other alliances right?

There is no way to describe this post other than fluffING STUPID. I'm gonna make bold claims that diez and Slagpit could outwall anyone in SOF they just choose not to every set (meanwhile diez has put up the #1 nonaided NW in EC two sets in a row and has to listen to stupid fluff like other people could beat him every set they just choose not to?)

That said EVO does have problems. Namely, I don't like EVO interfarming. I also didn't like EVO having "friendly" relations with certain untaggeds. Thats why I left and severed ties. I'm drunk enough tonight to admit that heh...

And I know that I've been trolling the boards recently a lot just for fluffs and giggles but this post is actually serious FWIW heh...

Some recent laffers would have had good competitions with diez or beaten him if they didnt end up dead :P Not saying theyd win every set or anything. But I very much doubt the retards from sof in this thread could do anything.

locket the point is that on any given set to guarantee that anyone would beat diez is stupid. Its a much much much bolder claim than so and so is better at netting than diez, and I'm on a mini campaign (with Slagpit it seems based on previous threads) to make this distinction.

That said with back to back EC "wins" even if LaF wasn't given the chance to net this set (As a member of SOL this set, your welcome for that beat down btw) I would support diez as the best "netter" in these netting conditions. That said these netting conditions absolutely suck and being good at netting really equates to a basic competenecy in the game (which ok true very very few people have but more than just diez) and an ability to be online alot...

Yah i agree that them saying that is dumb :P war clan people dont tend to make much sense so meh. And i'd put Son Goku enshula or solid snake up there at the top. Plenty who could win any given set anyways...SS's techer was killer last set when sol killed it. Unless that was this set..they blend together :P

And yah just to ensure u dont think im dissing diez I said could win and at the top :P i'd say unless they all netted against eachother its hard to pick. A pity goku isnt played now

to be honest there are a few honest netters whom I rate very highly. These elite few plays honestly and has a true netters pride - unlike a select few who think of themselves really highly (but actually suck in netting and had to get FA packages/help from buyouts)

Slagpit, solid snake, son goku, enshula, afaik, and samxz would rise the t10 NW bar by a mile.

I can't wait for the set when laf and evo finally nets in the same set.

Without any stupid buyouts and FAs of course.

oh right, i forgot we're dealing with an idiot namely SMz. i see these boards are still swarming with trolls who could do this and could do that, but don't because they've done it all before in some fantasy world.

Too bad your point holds no water, mostly due to the fact that most netting alliances have agreed that farming inactive countries before detagging is considered a legitimate form of netting, due to reasons already posted in this thread ("would you want acres your alliance has worked so hard to get and keep just going to other alliances?")

I'm hoping sanct nets more in the future then!

Just because we don't LG certain untaggeds doesn't necessarily mean we're bring friendly with them. For example, if an untagged country is LGing other alliances and/or retalling hits made by other alliances on that country, don't you think that, to preserve your land and netting set, you may not want to hit that untagged country as well?

I believe it was the reset before last, that there was a group of players, playing untagged, and coordinating hits with each other, and I believe most of them ended with a pretty respectable networth. I believe someone even said something about them being suiciders (and I do believe they were put on suicide watch as well). Do you really think that we'd want to risk our netting set for a couple thousand free acres at the risk of having far more land taken back from us? Really?

The issue was the untags not hitting EvO, and not retaliating EvO's farming while aggressively going after the other tags that farmed them.

If someone could remind me of the correct reset, and the untagged countries involved, I'd appreciate it. Because I just did a search over the past few resets, and I can't seem to find which countries were involved.

I would add Jofel to the list of top netters.

He has a good number of top 10's, in his history. And I can only imagine what he could do if he wasn't doing all explore's.

Z is #1

Both of them are excellent netters and this set was another less-than-ideal netting set for us due to alert statuses etc etc.
