I was actually on my way to 141m net if i didn't screw up so bad the last few days. Over pricing resells, starving my people 4x, turns lost from recalling market units, my food and oil blunder. Only used 3x2 pci booms instead of 6x2 at the end. I also forgot to increase tax on the last turn with the pci boom. Of course, jack's war didn't help my nw either.

throughout the set, I lost nw due to forgetting about food over 20 times. It was killing me when JJ was getting farmed as I spend 3-4 turns a day just recovering the lost defense. My maintenance cost was higher than i wanted because i kept more tanks and turrets than i wanted. Afaik is right, i traded some production and efficiency for pushing past the normal land barrier. If anyone wanted to land trade, I was ready to war.

The spy situation was not good for me and cost me a few DHs on attacks. I limit myself to 3 spy ops a day so i don't lose spies and keep it at 35-45 spal. 3 spy ops is not enough and sometimes forced me to do blind PS.

JJ and jack making weird decisions forced me to hold more turrets and burned more units helping them. JJ got caught up with express playing style of low def, high offense to retal and went spiraling downward. His first time playing demo techer, low tech prices, people aiming for him all equates to a disaster for him. My country suffered minor damage as well but, I really could've used that cash on more jets or tech instead of buying more turrets. Then jack's war lol. Because of jj and jack's warring and low d, i was forced to have higher defense. Which resulted in higher cost and losses lol. The worst effects was that the higher defense narrowed my target range for LG due to higher nw and lower offense.

oldman, i have planned to play a tmbr or dmbr but i would've done it differently.

oldman, i had a plan t play mbr. But i would've gone with more land(35-40k) and invest in building cost to 50% then switch to pm increase. By the last week you should still get 8+% pm increase but with much more land. Your building cost should not be out of control either.

I would prefer to do casher instead of techer because cashers can get fat faster and build more cs. If you have a bpt of 200 which is entirely possible, you can give yourself an extra 2-4 days of stockpiling,depending on land goal, when you switch to mbr.

honestly, if there was a real market for troops/tanks or commies is nerfed a bit then this plan would actually give you the win.

i had one that said "never let trouble troubles you unless trouble troubles you"
I was speechless. I bought a $20 lottery scratch off and lost.

he/she is done!

i trust fortune cookies for that. Of course, i've never won anything. I guess they gotta rename those cookies

love love love!

lmao! i should've picked another #
randomness not in my favor today

14

how do you get purpled so quick!

requiem wasn't hit by anyone. He just got bored probably because it's less interactive than alliance.
But your reason is also another reason alliance players leave. Some just can't hack the volatility of individual responses to an attack. They don't have 50 other members to cry to and defend them.

lol it's me!
I bought 7000 on a loan. I lost 3000. Then the bank debt collectors came because i haven't paid my bills. They took my all my turrets left over and I owe them 3000 on my credit report

so i can hit you back for 15x more 3 days later.

Thanks, that is all

tough mudder is not that tough. You should be able to do it easily unless you're really out of shape

IMO, all those tough mudder, spartan race, etc... are all bs obstacle courses. I find myself standing around in line more than moving. The actual obstacle looks better on picture i guess. It should be called a confidence course. Maybe i just ran too many actual obstacle course that are meant to challenge people for a purpose.

TC has spoken! now more drama to come from everyone else :)

true, that is one of those reasons. In fact, there were several alliance players that just gave up half way through the reset.

lol highrock has his own response!!

if they want to come, they will. They know it's there. What we really need to recruit is actual new players. Or peeps who only play express/tourney.
Most players who plays alliance does not do as well in solo and there's good reasons why.

I just hope alliance players can actually play solo instead of the bs bonesaw pulls.

so oldman and afaik are did not t10?

good thing nobody hit me. I made it hard by keeping weapons at a constant 147%. Had i lost over 5k in one hit, I would've warred for it since i stacked missiles early and always keep moderate sdi.

lol if i wasn't greedy, i would've beat it by 1.5m net at least

but i priced my tanks at 589 instead of 569
i priced my turrets at 194 instead of 172 like i wanted to. I also priced my jets 184.

fml my pm wasn't even a quarter tapped.

i wish i didn't screw up so bad the past 4 days or it might've been closer. But blid beats me hands down.

lmao! that bastard! I figured that was him since he seem to know too much haha

I made a little bit of cash reselling military and the last bit of my oil. I also had 6 pci booms and 40 mil extra bushels. Then someone sold a massive amount of bushels at $34 which i resold at $36.

I need to be a little more aggressive with my pricing next time i resell. It's better to take less profit than eating maintenance costs and lose money :(

a few days ago i thought fo sho i would've made over 135m until i starved 4x that cost me about 10m nw.
I also attempted an oil buyout that didn't work and cost me $650 because i didn't cancel my other orders lol so i ran out of cash when the other orders kicked in.
Bought 45m bushels of food in case someone decide to buyout food and jack up prices on last day. I bought it at 42 and 43 and then food dropped to 38 later that day. fml!
I priced my tanks, turrets, jets $10 too high and most of them didn't sell today. Else, I would've made at least $300mil. So instead of reselling I ended up recalling and cost me 3 turns of not cashing which is another $27m.
Jack got hit several times, each time costing me about 750k net.

congrats to everyone.
sorry #19, your access to 100m club is denied!!! lmao

don't worry braden, the only time i think ahead in this game is when i'm about to farm someone. the pro/cons factor was not in my favor to farm you mainly because of cost. If i was at 60k then yes, you would've lost at least 8k from me.

empty land is not land to me.


You had no missiles at the moment. But if i was to farm you, i'm sure you would've realized you can't retal except missiles and buy warfare. You probably would've been able to shoot 4 missiles at me before my humanitarians protect you. I would probably block 3/4 as i would've bought sdi up to 75%. but 1 nuke would cost me 3k. 3k at 90k would be about 1 bil in rebuild cost.

I would invest in defense bonus as a dict if i'm trying to get fat instead of netting.

I estimated that i could farm you and get to 93-95k and then I have to farm another casher. If i was to hit commies, my rebuild cost would be too high. Not to mention keep up with all that tech isn't easy even with tech at around 1600

because building cost is extremely high. And i know i wasn't going to make it to 100k without someone top feeding me or extremely farming someone in top 50 and eat a couple missiles. I can't keep up with sdi being that fat.

and i could buy up defense to outrun your offense too. Sorry to burst your bubble.

no braden i don't need 25 mil jets to break you. Not even close to that. And if it looks like you're going to retal then I'd hit you again before you retal. I can also buy 3-4x the amount of military a day as you were able to because my income was much higher.

25m * 1.47 *1.5 =55 mil

21 m * 1.4 * .9 * 1.12 = 29.6
Even if your allies both had 20m turrets, it would've given you only an additional 10m turret strength.

My first hit would've had only 1.2k acres and 2.3 after ghost. But it's not the land that i'm after initially. I'm more interested in creating losses when i start farming. I'm even more interested in making your allies drop. Hell, if i see fit, I might hit them too and give them a nice message.

someone buy military please?

i'm rank 6 now :(

you can dt with or without gdi.

when i farm someone, i don't stop until the humanitarians stop me. After about 10 hits, def allies usually drop out. Then if no one else farms them, i will send a few messages to random countries to farm them.

SOL revokes all forms of L : L retals on LaF. LaF acting on retals through L : L policy will be responded to as counting over retaliating hits.


i don't get it. Doesn't that mean you don't accept any retals?

lol if this case was to be filed, it would be on the bottom of the stack for a while

I don't think you get my point. The point is, the 2 people cheating is gone. You cannot punish the others as I'm sure most of them didn't even know it was going on. Yes, make their life a little harder and alliance less private to show legitimacy but saying you and every other alliance can LG them without any retals allowed is plain retarded.
right now you're pretty much saying "no point in playing as we will be farmed hard and there's nothing you can do about it. Hanlong or not, we will take advantage of your misfortune and kick you while you're down leaving you no choice but to leave the game, fight back, or cheat again."

If every alliance wants to war them then war them and gang up on them if you want to. It may be a massacre, but it is probably still fun and reunite the clan. The "i'll farm you and you can't hit back" is just being a douche trying to bully. I guess if I fluffed up and robbed a bank then all my kids should go to prison too huh?

last set was above average at first and then started to go down. Then when all the cashers started stockpiling, bus/res/bushels went through the roof.

yes you are still just proving my point and making yourself look dumb. Do you know what "generally" means?
I think you just want to argue with me

I can see the other parts legit but this one thing left me questioning whether you are trying to take advantage of their bad situation, disband their alliance, or drive away more players. Two wrongs don't make a right!
Example: Greedy countries demanding bs reparation far beyond what Germany could give and oppressed them until they had enough and fought back with a second world war. The second war was even worse than the first one.

you picked the best bonus for that job. Unless you don't stockpile, there's no point in investing in anything else being a techer. Hiding your food on the market is as good as the decay bonus.

idk, usually people just cry lol. This last set was the first time i died

haha, they won't know when i'll strike!

he has spies in your alliances

rookie jets are worth only half of veteran jets

no not quite blid

I've stated too many times already. I don't care much for t10 or these fixed nw records. I play for my own goals. Next set, I may just go for fattest techer ever or 100m/100kacres.

And in the old earth days, even with 20k players and the clan like activities in solo games, i was a consistent top 3 player until the last 7 days where I always eat mad missiles, ABs, PS, etc... That was when i lost hope in the game of ever finishing good because of multies. You just can't win back then unless you are "friendly" with these top players running multies or you are one of them yourself. Else, you always get knocked off randomly even when carrying 2mil tanks and being a dictator.

BUT PASSED 100M!!!! LOL

All those suckas must be hating hard!
