Correct, I asked what’s the best finish with F.

Get as much land in as little amount of turns as possible. A good starting goal is 20k acres fully built by turn 1000. Try improving every reset from that starting point. Max out Indy tech first, then it’s beneficial to get bus/res tech to help with curbing $$ loss. Military tech is also important. The reason why Andrew suggested building jets vs any other unit is because it yields the most Networth per turn while also minimizing expenses. Turrets yield the same NW but are much more expensive to maintain. Thus costing you more $.

Haven’t played in weeks, made an account today and get a message that I’m banned on this server.

Seems like an odd move in a game where we’re struggling for players.

Anyone have a logical explanation?

Quit making personal attacks on people. THIS IS A GAME. It’s a game. It’s a game. It’s a game man. Relax.

Secondly. I’m a full time father of young twin girls. Their mom is a junky. Im as sensitive as a 260lb man can get for these reasons. You’re making blind PERSONAL attacks because you’re reaching for straws. Just stop. It’s a game. Just stop.



Interesting how even when describing the mother of your child, you do it in an abusive way.

Maybe that’s why she self medicates? I know dealing with abuse can cause anxiety that a lot of abusive do find comfort in medication. I am just playing devils advocate. My instinct isn’t to abuse people In need of help it is to help them.


Let me guess, you brought this up, and now you will blame me for replying? That this is too off limits and “just a game!!!”


Please leave the personal details out of the game unless you want it to become a part of the convo.

You mentioned this in private messages and that’s why I didn’t bring it up here ;-)


I’m
Curious if you will play the victim now after introducing this to the Convo



Secondly, I see you trying to impose your narrative of me being abusive and a bully by calling the mother of my children a junky. But calling someone a “junky” that was arrested for owi with the children in the car and then lost custody because those kids found the needles that she was using to inject meth hidden throughout the house, is actually very conservative and politically correct.

You clearly have some mental health issues yourself. I’ve had my own over the years so it’s easy for me to recognize.

I wouldn’t call injecting meth medicating… I genuinely hope you don’t either and you’re just trying to stick to your guns with your narrative.

Anywho, I’m done bantering with you. Zero credibility. Anyone else I’ll gladly banter with, until you contradict yourself to the extent this goon has.

Literally nothing you say at this point means anything. Zero credibility.

Completely contradicted yourself with ingame messages
Compared to your forum posts.

Then hypocritically calling people abusive and bully’s for ruining a netgainers set after posting how you’re openly stocking jets to suicide the top netgaining Indy.

Zero credibility.

You spend months building counties and then dodge war fighters to attack guys you know are passionate about netting. It’s sadism, you are a bully who find it amusing to make others suffer. We all know the type.

Last time you did that our were “building a shed” and not interested in this game. Amusing how you always have a story ready as well to explain why you spend months working on something that you clearly aren’t interested in.

Why do you say everyone is crying? You told me not to even think about attacking you or you would "jihad" me because you DH'd and didn't want to be punished. And then I wiped you with my FS while you asked on discord how you were supposed to solo war again, lol.

I always hold out hope that people will accept their retals, so we can get to the destock phase but it's a war game (in primary at least), so people can do as they wish. That said, it's a pattern for Ektar and Chevs where they'd rather ruin someone else's finish once they're bored or have other things in life. Ektar has used that excuse that someone was growing and looked menacing to multitap people in the past, when really he just starts a war and then runs off to his "real life" leaving our virtual lives a shamble like the large, sensitive man that he is (apparently). Chevs just outright lies and says "oops, I didn't mean to hit you twice, go ahead and take the second retal" just so he can break GDI and go to war. Nothing against it in the rules, but most people are going to drag you on the forums for being the non-skilled losers (in virtual life) that you are =Þ

Obviously, we (I kind of speak for AndrewMose and other netters, but mostly myself) have played this game long enough that it's only a minor setback, and most of my comments here are flippant, but being a rep (or even a demo) in primary is like a 50/50 chance you get griefed by someone who has little to gain and doesn't even plan on finishing out their set. So while it's a game, it's akin to someone flipping the board or taking their ball and going home, and it removes a lot of the fun.

No, in this case he actually grabbed me twice before the first retal. After his first grab I took another day of bottom feeding and then added turrets. I tried not to jump too much NW so I could stay within humanitarian range of a few targets. When I retaled I noticed he hadn't built any of the land he took from me. So I basically knew at that time that this was going to be a war. But even then instead of war prepping after my retal I built the land and spent $ on bus/res tech. That's why it took a few days of waiting to fill up my turns storage for me to take the FS.

I don't think I could have won without taking the retal. If we had left it at that I probably would have been neck and neck with the top 2. Gestapo probably has a 80% chance of winning now with Deus Ex Machina the remaining 20%.


Not completely accurate. I was spying you daily and watching you stockpile jets. I built what I could with the money I had. I can’t just make $ every turn like you, and my military has been stuck on the market more often than not for a month now. So to say it was my plan all along isn’t accurate. Furthermore, I’m right here, you can ask me without
Making an assumption.

Furthermore more lol, I also saw you starting to stockpile warfare tech. So, with an EDUCATED guess on what your intentions were, with the evidence I had… I figured my best plan at that point was just to continue to grab you daily. I was over 2:1 turrets to jets, you were the opposite and you still needed to buy 10M+ jets to break me the 1 time you were able to. IN MY OPINION, that’s not a “functional” retaliation hit. Again, that is just my opinion.


My point is none of this is functional. You couldn't truly expect me to be farmland. Both of us were going to finish in the top 5. Now neither of us are going to finish in the top 10.


I didn’t expect you to be farmland anymore than any of the folks you’ve landgrabbed all set. I was content with the 1 grab. It was the fact I watched you prepare to retaliate, leaving yourself virtually defenseless that prompted the additional grabs. Then when I saw the warefare stockpiling I determined the best plan at that point was to take what little money I had(since my units weren’t selling) to buy sdi vs building the vacant land and then dropping the vacant land to maximize the sdi.

Very logical move at that point, as far as I’m concerned.

ANYWAY, here we are.

It’s a different situation but this “I get 1:1 for free” entitlement nonsense needs to stop. Especially when everyone is farming the hell out of noobs all set. Go ahead and try to retal but some players just won’t put up with it and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I’m not saying you did anything wrong, he could have easily kept going and forced a war anyway.




I’m inclined to agree with you on the “retal” piece. Idk if “entitlement” is the best word, but the point is the same nonetheless & I agree with you.

I don't feel entitled to not being RORed I'm just entitled to a FS if someone breaks GDI on me. That's just the game mechanics. And if you are trying to finish as high as possible then giving someone of similar NW to you the opportunity at an FS isn't typically going to work out in your favor. And maybe in this situation the FS wasn't that valuable because I had to take a couple days to war prep. We shall see.

Regarding who wins a war...I don't have a good answer there. Nobody is going to record a kill in primary. In my opinion both sides lose. But I imagine the best metric is ending NW.



You’re a better player than I. You would have finished with a higher NW regardless of whether we netted or warred. I think the gap will be smaller this way than the other. I have zero issues with admitting someone is better at this game than I am. A lot of people likely are. And I’m ok with that. I try to get a little enjoyment out of it here & there when life permits. But I’ve never claimed to be good, let alone better than anyone else. I think a lot of people here get hung up on that.

Just a game. Games are for fun.

As far as the idea of me asking for it with low defense. I had plenty of defense to prevent retals from anyone that I was attacking. And I had plenty of offense to make it evident that I could retal any landgrab that came my way. ROR's always lead to lower finishes for both parties. This is just another example.



What metrics determine who “wins” a war? People always talking sht on here about whooping each other or “winning”. So I know, what metrics determine the “win”?


Secondly, I was able to standard strike you while still being over 2:1 turret to jet…just want to note that. :-)

I like how you guys mess with everyone and then act super soft once people start messing with you back lmao

You spend months building counties and then dodge war fighters to attack guys you know are passionate about netting. It’s sadism, you are a bully who find it amusing to make others suffer. We all know the type.

Last time you did that our were “building a shed” and not interested in this game. Amusing how you always have a story ready as well to explain why you spend months working on something that you clearly aren’t interested in.

That makes a lot of sense ^^^ did you also bully nerds in high school in this same fashion? I am curious if you have always had this behavioral characteristic of targetting people specifically weaker then yourself to hurt? That’s definitely and interesting behavioral trait you have there.


Alaska is a big place huh? Lot of land and privacy there I hear


All this and dude just completely avoids touching on the actual subject of him making sht up to try to impress his online pals. Messages me about my turret wall ingame then talks about being all jetter in the crowd with an audience.

Just stop.

This is ektar, I recognize his goofy play style; he targets netters to grief. I had been messaging him all game challenging him to war but he chose instead to go all jetter and attack andrew who was a pure netter.

You are breaking Andrew with 8m jets? Ok maybe he was asking for it :o


Correct.



So TLDR: Spanking netter a$$ while ice fishing all weekend , dare I say..based?

Hence why you haven’t been able to get any of the land back that I got from you. If I was all jetter, you likely would have retalled… but you couldn’t. Could ya?

Nothing fancy, but 68m nw.
And this was me 2 months before that at 74m nw: https://www.earthempires.com/express/704/ranks/51

.... I can run one in the coming set. xD

Ahh i get it now. Switch to Theo to spend. Does going F—>M—>H prevent the humanitarian losses, or do you just eat it?

I actually think Fasc Farmer and CI are on-par, though CI requires way more effort because of selling military on public to run turns.

My best finish has been with casher(50m or so)

But CI is far & away best strat. I just haven’t been able to pinpoint the best method, nor been able to practice the right amount of patience.. apparently.
