If you continue to gouge the price on oil the way you have been, we will cease fire and grab all of your rigs. Pacted tags are not safe, we are angry you have limited our pewpew time. If you netters think this is funny....you will be furious when we destroy your finish for the set and cry to the admins to change the rules....again.... So for the sake of not having to buy more tissues, we suggest you cap your oil prices at $175.

Sincerely,
Sublime

Are you against Capitalism, Sublime? If you are, that means you HATE AMERICA!

Why do you hate your country??

lol. they're just rich because the socialists keep throwing money at them. the socialists think they're being Robin Hood. they just don't know how to steal from the rich, so they do it to anybody that they can.

Qz....we demand "green" troops that are not reliant on fossil fuels. How long do you expect the earth community to rely on these fossil fuels before we consume all of our limited resources?

Oh yeah....people don't drink oil, except in earth empires!!!!

Us netters happily contribute to the war effort by buying up cheap oil and reselling it for a higher price to the waring countries :)

it's value added oil. if they didn't add value to it then the warrers would be stuck with buying cheap oil.

Well, in that case stockpile more oil beforehand, or have the foresight to build a few hundred/thousand rigs so you don't have to purchase it.

In my defense: Last time I played this game, only jets and tanks used oil (to my knowledge).

No...we don't understand the concept of one troop using as much oil as one tank or one jet. Unless of course they are refusing to carpool like us Americans!

I was in the infantry for 5 years and we did in fact hoof it just about everywhere. Troops operate on far less oil.

look at the bright side. i assumed that US troops can walk on water. are we talking about different nationalities of troops now? meh, they should just switch all the military units to drones. why spend money on training when you can just mold a solar powered smart bomb? hmmm, 3D printers are getting cheaper... maybe it'll become to expensive to mold plastics soon.

If you're talking deployment to AOs, then YES troops will use oil in that they ride in something to get there. But the tanks, jets, weapons, ammo, water all come in on the same rig.

Once you're on the ground and operational, say from a mission direct deployment (from the FOB to objective rally points, targets, FOB's, etc.) troops spend about 80% of their time walking.

Furthermore, when I think "guerrilla strike" I think guys on the ground, sneaking around (no engine noise/support vehicles in earshot to giveaway someone might be coming in) killing all tactical like...Now, I have this vision of 24 guys killing fluff and another guy hauling around an oil barrel on a dolly for no apparent reason...
