Our farms look like Chernoble and the blood of the peasants cries out from the ground: REVENGE! Ask Delphinus and Sons of Alberta if communism pays. Anarchy is coming for you up there!

Looks like the #1 techer started jumping.

I haven't logged on yet but that likely means military prices increased and maybe a huge bushel dump just happened lol.

I didn't see any food dump really... no food crash... military prices budged up by like $10.

Like I called it, crazy low prices on military does that lol.

But I don't think his NW will win this set given the 70k + farmers and high food prices lol.
But then again he might not be done jumpin'

He probably bought up tons of that cheap military and will now start reselling, I wonder how much of his pvt has he touched.

He hasn't touched any of it I'm sure, lots of resell potential although it probably costs $35m for him to take a turn.

only 1 turn is needed to place goods on the market each time.

Closing in on the end of the round. Some more people starting to move up, either doing full jumps or partial jumps.

2 farmers 1 techer will be there, but I can't tell if the other top 5 players will be both cashers or casher and a commie, or if the already 100m farmer will keep rising up.

Discussion: Why did MacXGee (#180) switch to Theo for his jump?

I think he would have finished far far higher as a Fascist farmer.

He switched to Monarchy for a few minutes before going to Theo. People do that sometimes, do they sell the food on private as monarchy and then switch to theo?

Also why do you say far higher? Switch only lost 8m net. well, see:
Lost 8m
Jumped 60m net
60m / 1.2 = 50m net, if not theo
So gained 10m net and lost 8m net

Now there may have been some things like he lost some cash on hand, or some military tech, or whatever to make it break about even. But it doesn't seem to have been bad

Yes you sell your food as monarchy and switch to theo for free to destock on your private.

The bad thing about doing a theo switch destock is not only the nw loss u get from switching at that high nw(at 21m I think you lose about 27% of everything, plus you dont get to run turns after switching because your production will be badly affected with those empty acres and you lose alot to corruption due to selling all your bushels and holding alot of cash.

Its only viable in 1a because you can run so low defence due to tag protection on the server that switching between governments is only 14% loss. Plus, you dont want to be grabbed/retalled on primary for holding large amount of cash and low defence because of the military loss u got from the switch

Because now you have 27% of your land empty, which you either need to build up, or leave empty. That is a significant production loss, on top of losing the Fascist food bonus of 15% for his final 3 days of the reset. That income loss likely more than lost him any possible gains, particularly if he has to stop running turns as a consequence whereas staying Fascist would have allowed him to run turns all the way to the last turn of the reset.

On top of this, you also lose part of your permanent bonuses, which could be -Expenses% or -Decay%, further exacerbating the problem. (Wouldn't be relevant if it was -buildcost%.)

The loss of income also means spending bonuses on Food Booms is also affected; likely the only possible bonus you can go is PM regen bonus on a crippled income source for the last 3 days.

It's going to be a pretty good set.
Now of course if one of the fat farmers goes crazy and hits 130-135M then it's going to be a close race for second third and fourth etc... hahah
