What's the point of that strat? Harassment? Because it's not placing anywhere

If you have low land, then you're still not outproducing the larger countries no matter how much you steal. And you run the risk of getting into a war.

You guys obviously haven't heard that losing 66k spies a pop to steal 15k tech, 3,750 of which you can only sell and for $900 each is the recipe for winning. Just wait till blid or Xin run the numbers, everyone will be playing that strat next set.

why can they only sell 3750 of it?

You can only sell 1/4 tech at a time. Now obviously, that is irrelevant, since if you steal everyday, you can also sell everyday. If you aren't selling max tech everyday to begin with, you can easily sell what you steal in one sale.

I think you can only sell 25% of tech at a go, or maybe it is 10%, I can't remember now. If it is 25%, you can sell 3750 for $900, then 2813 of the rest for $800 if you get it all to sell and so forth.

Don't sidetrack Bobby! This is still a winning strat.

well if you're stealing 8-10k/pop midway through the reset and selling at $2k it's not bad

You know Rob, everyone pretty much picked the same 10 countries (Except you picked Invisible Cities over Serenity in Stress). You might want to review your scoring system!

Change the scoring to give double points if you put them in the right place...ie. if AustAgder wins I get 2 pts if Promise Land is 4th I get 2 pts for that as well.

Yeah! 1 point for placing top 10, -1 for not. 1 point for placing correctly in position.

2. Promise Land
3. Quarantine
4. Happy New Year 2013
5. Keep Calm and Press Cash
6. Eevil War Machine

If my chosen order is:

Maybe he wanted to see how my war was going. But you're definitely not stockhunting a landthin dictator that's fighting a war.

There are fluffs like Sublime who would farm a country that's at war, and it appears that #130 is of that type of cowardice.

Well with only 50 turns left that's only a couple hundred k net. But yeah, keep gathering signatures to bring to qz to eliminate earthquakes! Xin, Karim, Serp, sign the petition! Haha :) Tbh I do think he should remove them but o-allies and tech leeches are the most pressing issues.

You'd really think the leechers would have learned their lessons by now though. I don't know how many rounds I've seen leechers taken down by other players now.
