3 tiny aid packages for a total of about 2.5-3m NW worth of stuff. I think thats not unreasonable after giving 3 people tech leech all set for probably around $5-6.5 Billion worth of tech, hehe. :)

I think anyone can read whatever they want into the purpose of them. I always liked the player vs player competition aspect to be intact on tagged servers as well. But a lone techer on a team/alliance giving leeches is certainly due at least some mild AIDS. :)

The highest NWs all-time on this server had landfarms in several tags. Its still not cheating to do that, but then its not necessarily an impressive solo performance.

Hellrush did everything right, and got lucky with the market as well. Not gonna lie, when I did 80m+ NW(Techer) in express or 1173m NW(techer) in alliance I had amazing markets working for me. Does that render the accomplishment(s) moot?

That's what i thought, tbh i thought it would be 4 countries FA'in 1 for the win each set when i first made a country here, how wrong i was seems that's frowned upon o_O

If he paid for the tech ally costs per turn I might agree.

No doubt he kicked the fluff out of all of us, and handily so so good on him but we all kinda agreed as a server not to spend countries to fa to win top. If he'd won he won and I don't doubt he did but I was kinda just hoping he'd done it pure because it had looked so finely done with tech prices.

He won. But his 2.5-3m nw aid I can't help but say we don't call titanium all time winner for that same reason.

I think more could be done in spirit of cooperation within the team to synergize together without just trying to FA/market transfer/give landfarms to one person. Most of the time people dont really think about that as strategy but may like share market timers and stuff to buy each others goods and such at most. It would take a lot of effort to do more and the more effort you put into it the more happy the suiciders will feel when they ruin all that effort. So I just don't.

That said it would be very fun to work out and perfect actual team based strategies.

Actually he would have probably gotten higher NW if he didnt research ally his teammates and didnt get aid as it would force those ZigZaggers to spend more on tech on the market which would drive up the tech prices. For ZZ as a whole it would be a loss of maybe 20m NW to do so but Hellrush would be better off.

Every time a techer lets his tagmates leech the leechers get "aided" far more than those 3 aid packages, yet we dont ask teams to run with no research allies on their techers.

As a team you're foolish if you don't share tech.

As a server we agreed we all kinda consider aid no bueno. Take away the 3m in aid and he's still 10 million past second, his team mate, and ya'll won total and and without a doubt.

Ya'll did great. But food or money aid can't help but lessen slightly how impressed I was with a 92mil nw finish. My best ever being like 65 maybe.

Every decent techer supplies his team with 3-5B worth of tech on normal resets, more on sets with high tech prices. That is done at a steep cost to the that techer. Fact of the matter is that the tech you supply your allies will either be sold or make the ally buy less tech. So it will impact the market negatively for you as a techer.

So its a net benefit to the team but the benefit is on the leechers and its negative to the techer, noticeably.

Just like Ebert lost NW on aiding Hellrush and Hellrush gained from it; Every leech Hellrush had gained resources and therefore NW from it at the expense of Hellrush.
I just want to get that across. Tech leech with no compensation is not unlike FA in terms of boosting someone at the expense of another.

Yeah I think it was Relax, you and I who leeched from Ebert the set we took the NW record together. But because no aid was exchanged I got 2nd, relax won and ebert got 3rd. But if we had compensated him fairly for the leech, Ebert would have gotten 1st.

I think he might also have gotten 1st if he didnt let anyone leech from him, but we also wouldn't get the NW record then. :)

FA and/or Market Aid is not against rules on the server yes but there generally is a gentlemen agreement on it. How would you feel if I played and had people aid me to the NW record? You would probable feel cheated, no?

It makes total sense except you can get 3 techers on your team to leech to you and it would give tech worth at least 15-20m nw. You can do that without aid and it will accomplish the same thing, yet somehow its considered fair according to everyone.

Humbly and respectfully:

1) I don't believe or have faith in anything that is informal and/or legally non-binding e.g. Gentleman's agreements, Social contracts etc.

2) I didn't agree or consent to any Gentleman's agreements, Social contracts etc.

3) All is fair when legal.

4) I didn't t feel cheated when players work together legally.

Getting FA to win is like cheating at golf. Your playing partners may let you get away with Mulligans, moving your ball to a better lie, and so on, but your score would be a fake. To brag about how you won or how low your handicap is would be pathetic.

If you always leech tech and never give back I guess that is about as bad. At least you should be a good leech and make it easy for the person sending you free tech. It doesn't cost anything to send tech to an RA, unlike sending FA, and it makes the team stronger. I'm usually happy to send tech to leeches if they are team players who help the team in other ways, like sending FA when you are in a fight and need it for example, to help wall. But if its someone who doesn't give back ever, or who doesn't buy some tech to make it easy for them to receive, or who doesn't bother to try and runs a pathetic badly built country because they don't care, then I wouldn't want them to leech or even be on my team.

So FA is pretty clear. Forget it unless you are dying. RA's on the other hand are complicated. When I give out tech, I expect something in return , but its a judgement call on whats enough. I personally have pretty high expectations of my teammates, especially on the Team server.

Now that is true. I might receive more fun from those four than I offer by myself so I guess my finishes are tainted also.
