I'm completely sure that 175m won't have a chance this set, unlike last set's flukishly low t10 cutoff.

Round 11 had a record high of 222m to make top 10. This set's tech prices and food prices have been similar to round 11, but the military prices are much higher this set. There's an awful lot of good looking countries this set, though. So I think that we'll top the 222m cutoff this set. The 175m I'm hoping to get won't even be good enough for top 25. I think the 321m networth record is safe, though.

I'm not good at NW predictions, but I'd say we'll see mostly techers in the T10, considering how long food prices stayed below 40.

Top 10 is FAKE with part of the involved players playing "land-trading" and the other part playing without it.

IF we would put this into RL sportsmanship - is like 2 boxers fighting while one of them being stuffed with cocaine and steroids.

you mean the other part ruthlessly farming anything that has not enough tag protecting and then killing it, if they dare to retal.
Both options are morally objectionable, so don't try to be holier than the others here.

And I agree with locket.

Tech has been abnormally high this set. I expect 220m at least, but probably closer to 240m.

I knew I shoulda run a damned techer like last set. I woulda made lots of monies.

And Rednose I am not sure all explore casher/farmer will cut it this set for top 50. Any techer has a huge advantage over them this set and then you add the grabbers... maybe the better run ones.

Wari it doesnt have to be all techers. I think there will be a couple non techers in the top ten too. The food prices right now are pretty sketchy though so who knows what will happen.

It's an easier market for techers to win in -because- there's so many big land traders that need vastly more tech than your standard all-ex countries. Any techer that managed to land trade to about 40k acres or more as of a week ago is likely to make it to the top 10- and given just how much extra land is appearing on the server, techers will continue to reign supreme until tech prices are driven down to exceptionally low levels once more by too many people jumping on that particular bandwagon at once.

You're forgetting one key part to netgaining. You have to buy the military to destock. Destocking isn't an instantaneous event.

Uh I doubt the cutoff will be as high as 220

The techers with huge stocks have to deal with high military prices and competition as demo destockers, food is going to surge again as high may r higher than it was before, and the landtraders are dealing with high food and tech prices

I think LT was right. Military market is very thin, and I don't see many techers jumping yet. There's way too many techers who either won't make 200m networth, or are counting on a significant part of their destock being funded by the public market.

For techers, their private market is woefully insufficient for that, even if they're significantly bigger than me.

I originally thought there would only be 6 LaF but some of the smaller guys have surprised me and jumped above the ones I assumed would be at the top. THere will be 6-8 LaF'ers, the rest is a toss up. I'd still say 2 PDM'ers and 1 RD'er.

Your estimate is about where I think it will fall, in the 240m-250m range so you may be right locket.
