I like that second best farmer more than the first best.

I had a lot of fun playing again this set. Interesting to see some of the changes (for the better in my opinion). I'm curious to see how the NPC's will be tweaked further. 20m isn't bad at all.

FWIW, things have always had strenuous demand in express that would either

a) drive them to extreme prices
b) empty the public market completely

I've always attributed it to the fact that at any point in time you could have one (or even many) people running through up to 360 turns. Depending on their strategy, that can put a huge strain on certain techs, food, and even military.

If you get hit more than once, you have the right to do whatever you want.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. There is absolutely no reason for a reasonable netter to have to hit a human player at all, let alone more than once.

1. I think you might be confused by what you see when you spy. You'll see 0 turns on hand, when in reality that number doesn't budge until the bot logs in. So a bot logs in and plays and doesn't return for say... 4 hours. 3 hours and 59 minutes later you could spy and still see 0 turns on hand. You could look at turns played and it should be 4 hours behind, and that should back-up what I'm saying. Unless things have changed?

2. You just finished in the top 10, that's a "top" player!

With that being said, ebert00 is definitely the biggest cheat the express game has ever seen!

That seems awfully low. You should be able to get to 18-20m if you don't get into trouble.
Maybe things have changed since I last tried though.

Honestly that sounds harsh, but it sends a stronger message to the devs than a post on a thread they won't look at.

I'm on board with trying this. I know there have been many times as a techer I've sold a majority of my tech for the set at 1k and still got top 10, hell even top 5... easily.

Should probably go with 750 first and see if it makes any dent whatsoever.

You don't kick ass, if you weren't deleted any semi-skilled player can and does wipe the floor with your sorry ass.
If you aren't willing to learn, then just shut the fluff up and go away already.

I'm impressed you're even spending the time to explain it. It's clear as day.
It has been for quite some time now.

I'm not entirely sure if Derricks post was satirical. if not, you were just given overwhelming evidence that Ratski is a cheat and doesn't belong in this community with his current antics.

Can the mods do us all a favor and just have the deletion button on standby for this? I mean obviously he's constantly cheating (and poorly). Just check right away when the server starts to see if he's doing it again.

It would save some of us the trouble of losing some acres and resources to him without a chance to get them back.

The pros far outweigh the cons...

If you want to net successfully on a very consistent basis, you need to join GDI. If you use your first bonus turns on free GDI, it's free.

Agreed.

I would even add that I don't really hit human players in general, but definitely not any that have shown they have a good grasp of the game. Almost any hit can be retaliated on this server. It's simply not worth angering someone and making an enemy. Then again, I'm a netter... some of you like that sort of thing.

I'm sure there are multiple clans that are represented in express.

Policing? No... that would be grounds for deletion. It's pretty obvious when countries are teaming up... ask Ratski.

Maybe Im old fashioned.. I just recently came back and before that getting above 2b cash was a no-no. It still sticks. same with the end set GS-food runs. I have noticed I am more careful than most players about keeping my stock protected on the market.


I guess I'm old school as well. When I'm techer I keep my stock (food and money) hidden.
Only when I ran as a casher did I have problems with asshats.
