I predict a casher will win (sorry bobby) (but nice current rank!)

Lets say 2 reps, 2 commies and one demo in top 5

You can count the demo out of that top 5 since there will be no stockpiling :)

At that size I think you may not need to stockpile to place top 5. Also I'm guessing you're casher, not converted to MBR?

My predictions:

March 17 2012
crown of the valley
Fat Burger
Happy New Year 2012
Chipotle makes you fat

I'm assuming tduong isn't going to try based on what he said 3 posts up.

Fat Burger seems pretty landthin to make top5. Even not trying to max NW I think Welcome Back can top 5, if he doesn't get retalled/hit. But he has multitapped a bunch of people and started to hit some pretty large countries so no guarantee of that.

The Coffee Palace is a pretty good country too this set, maybe just outside of t5 tho...

edit: Meant to say otherwise I agree w/ what you posted Xin.

I'm guessing that fat burger is teching and could be doing around 11k tpt for the past 10 days so he could have a decent amount of stock. But i think the following for top 5

Crown of the valley (really good grabbing)
welcome back (if he can play the markets well)
March 17 2012
Chipotle
happy new year 2012

I don't know how to finish as a casher so i'm hoping what i'm doing will work but i think the following will also beat me

Planetary
Incha
Shevchenko
Black magic women
so many choices
fat burger

If free lenny hadn't hit me i'd have had a chance at top 5. If i get top 10 i'll be happy

Theo can't cash as effectively but should have a very nice destock obviously. If Incha finishes top 5 or even top 10 it'll be a heroic feat.

I predict crown of the alley wins this. If he doesnt, welcome back will.
A casher just has to win this with cheap tech and military.

Techers are a long shot this round just because of the prices.

March 17 has been stocking for 5 days already.

Unfortunately I'm not having a very good round... would be a longshot to top 100m unless I get lucky.

I don't think any techers will be placing top 5 this set. Perhaps a top 10 finish for one of them, but prices are and were just fluff this set.

prices are below average but it's definitely not that bad. You guys are just expecting too much after last set.
Last set a 30k techer was making as much as a 60k casher. Ridiculous!

hey tduong.. i've been trying to tell you this ALL set.. techer's dont have a chance with these fluffty prices.. cheap jets/turrets gave a snow balls chance in hell this last week, but it benefits cashers more, i think.
but my tyranny's hangin in there. lol

with food at current prices I'm not convinced cashers have this set in the bag. What good does low tech/military prices do for a stocking casher? And I haven't seen a single techer with any reasonable stockpile so there won't be early destockers deflating food prices soon...Perhaps that fasc does have a chance at top 5 or even better.

Solution for cashers: like tduong, just don't stock!

I'd love to see that fascist do well. I enjoy oddities and when's the last time there's been a fascist that high?

I'd say #142 only has a chance if he's been pumping his bonuses into decay. By now he could be at 100% decay even if he's missed 2-3 days.

My guess is that in day or three he'll stop grabbing and growing in nw and he'll be selling as much food as possible to build up a corruption free cash pile.

I'm still making just over $20m even after food expenses. The reps should be making a little bit more than me... my guess is the #58 could be making nearer $27m after food.

Interesting thought regarding corruption, coffee. It's true to really take advantage of the food stockers he should be selling... although, stocking food he grows himself is still more efficient stocking than buying $55 food to resell at $35.

if i did that lol...
But you know i will. I will play smart and buy out all turrets and most jets on market though. I'll probably buy up most of the oil too. That way I can go back for a second hit :)

I have a feeling we will have 3 techers in t10 at the least.

Well, after doing a quick and dirty calc, #142 is currently making the same (ish) net revenue/turn as #58, ie about $27m... give or take a million here or there.

A non fascist country would not have 100% decay yet, so whilst #142 is doing pretty well now, if a big casher has been getting the decay bonus then in a few days time when food starts to drop, i think the casher will be better off.

I think oldmans tmbr well do alright also. He stocked early with the cheap bushels, and higher tech prices. Then dumped his stock at a high bushels price. I think a converted tmbr makes 6 mil net per billion. So I can see him jumbing to 85m then have around 5 days to resell and I think he will finish at 95m this set probably being the highest techer. I could be wrong but I don't think so, he played a smart game this set with the prices. A lot better then my fat burger who has been missing tech allies all set up untill recently.

And I think you will finish higher, herbs. And I say this because tech prices was fluff all the way. Bushels wise yes he would have profited, but no way he finishes ahead of you unless you really mess up. You should be the highest finishing techer this set.
