Either by ruthlessly grabbing the land from small people who can not retal or by grabbing countries with lots of acres, but near you in networth, so that way even after they take their land back from you in retaliation you still have some left over from ghost acres.

if you're looking at RD then: landtrading (abusing game mechanics) and running intag landfarms

10k or so including ghost acres, but being that you're in "alliance" it's likely to result in one of the following scenerios

1. Your alliance has relations with them, and you will end up owing 20,000 acres in reps or more.. which since you're unable to give likely your alliance buddies will have to make it up. and will all likely hate you for messing up thier finishes

2. If you're not allied, they will retal you anywhere from land to land to 125% land:land depending on thier policy to neutral countries and topfeeds.

3. They might kill your country for giggles


basically there's not many plus's

This is just the free land that you got (ie excluding retals on hits on you and landtrading). 30291 acres. Add on c. 35k from your landtrading... Congrats, you're such a good netgainer. No wonder noone takes your finishes seriously. Ever wonder why even with RD's 3 consecutive ANW titles, the "best negainer" discussion always focuses on Evo and LaF+

Yep, on FFA. I had 60m networth with 70k acres and got grabbed by an 18k acre country. Some people will spent 8b cash just to topfeed you. In primary, they only had to buy 40m jets to topfeed me. But they still did it there, too.

People will dump their stockpiles on jets just to make grabs. Not everyone can do it, but enough will do it to be a major annoyance.

Although the one time I played express, that didn't happen. But it apparently does happen a lot there.

edit: I'm actually doing the math here. 7800 acres INTERNALLY farmed, a weighted average of 1.5 weeks before the hits you said cost Titanium 50mnw. I'd say probably 75m nw of internal farming there?

I didn't know your pact was 3:1. But probably shouldn't let that take away from the actual intag landfarming that you did.

internally wasn't really internal. As a bunch of people know both inside and outside of RD. That country was run by someone who was paying back Reps for something they did a few resets back.


you just seem to like to whine about it. The reps were all owed to me but I decided to spread them around a bunch.. Tits got some of that yes. but I dont see the point in whining that he got it.

I lost about 200mil networth one reset that got us those reps this reset. I'd venture to say we gained less I lost.

given that by extension from bug03's calculations Mr Tit benefited 75m nw from that and he wasn't even the main beneficiary, you gained a lot more than 200m nw? and it was pretty internally given the boost it's giving you in ANW...

besides, last set you internally farmed and said your member lost motivation and was going to quit. basically you do this crap every set and have some sort of crappy excuse for it every time. this is despite the fact that your massive landtrading already makes everyone think of your finishes as illegitimate. why not just own up it instead of doing the whole "we're not cheating THAT much" constantly?

That's funny because you've won avg net 3 times in a row, about to be a 4th and yet when people talk about top netgainers it's all about Evo and LaF. When people talk about best players it's never about you. You'd think with as many top 10s as you RD guys have managed to landtrade your way into you'd have some players who are considered good players. In a way I consider my "mission" a success in that if I point out how many free acres (in your case, about 65k) RD receives per set, people will consider to treat you as subpar netgainers.

And every alliance I "troll" says I troll them exclusively. PDM, SoF, iMag... The fact is I point out poor game play.

like you may question the point of just suiciding on people every set but I'd say it's a lot more rewarding than winning a set by playing by a different set of rules than every one else.
