Thank you for the information. Btw. It's rude to try to tarnish respected player's reputations by using their names. New lows every week.


Huh?

I'm defending Nam vs multi accusations. I never claimed those POS countries. Jesus you're desperate.

I am sure no one really feels the need to "cheat"(against the challenge rules) in these kind of things and you wont be able to stop against that if they do, but heres a few suggestions to remove all sorts of friendship/enemy psycology and :

1. All names are completely randomized or even picked by an independent observer.
2. no one may tell until after which country is which players, but of course all participants must know from the start which countries are participating in the duel. I know its very easy to break this rule and no way to check for it but that just removes the level playing field completely

3. you gotta make rules about which attack types are allowed and what the win condition is "acres at end" is a viable one, also NW I guess but that one is less fun and you could just stock up and get UB with a techer in GDI in that case and ignore the others in the duel and win. You say "destructive farming" but what exactly makes it destructive if missiles and special attacks are not flung as well? Also if special attacks are allowed its very random, someone can win the entire challenge byjust getting GSed a bunch at the right time...
Maybe suggest spy ops and missiles but not special attacks are allowed?

1) I like it but that's already out for this reset
2) Absolutely agree. 1 and 2 require impartial nonparticipant, tho. Would gal be down? Fml, maybe marshal?
3)i was thinking no special attacks, but Missiles are a good addition. Would suggest absolutely no gs br ab.

Destructive farming is not a grab or a double tap. It's malevolent. It's me establishing the ability to PS you 3x+ and them continue hitting you to deplete your military and production base while boosting my own.

In a way it's partially a net gaining challenge, because you have to establish position and simultaneously build longevity. It's not obvious, but it takes immense resources to replenish jets and oil, let alone defend yourself.

Yeah wondering if this kinda challenge would be considered land trading.

Really want to emphasize the war part, as my interpretation is we are attempting to harm the others as much as benefit ourselves.

Don't wanna sign up for a deletion, ya know?

There are WAY more RRs than just him...unless he's playing all of them, hehe


I've personally suspected that there are 2 RR running between 4 and 8 countries.

There are usually 2 distinct rainbow builds, and 1 of said builds has a more prominent *griefer* pattern.

I played casher in the 0cs duel tho. And in the tyr casher duel too lol. Tyr casher is so bad that it wont ruin the market but i seem to remember the tech prices still went up a fair bit.


Ruining the market is half the fun. Sure, you could play opposite and have a good finish, but my thought was the extreme scarcity of tech and land would be a solid challenge.

Unlike the Tyr casher version, you'd be able to have a good country that wasn't an awful struggle. But to have a GREAT country you'd need to be creative.

Was just a thought, anyway

Is awesome you're able to save so much. You actually made me look up again why I don't have an RIRA.

But you're highlighting why you're above average. You got a job out of college that allowed you to advance.

That's critical. That allows you to buy a home and invest, which is what so many millennials are missing.

I would bet, though, that this game has a heavier weighting of 'above averages' than general population.

It's directional, but yeah.

Every generation has those that make bad choices, but millennials entered the workforce with the highest rates of student loans and worthless degrees. Many also face inflated home prices and poor wages (not assigning any cause).

Probably hard to pay off a worthless education and buy a house by making coffee.

This is a fair point, and plays well with strategy specific events. A farmer probably isn't going to win if there are 5 to 10 extra playing it, BUT a top 10 is definitely doable, and a top 5 isn't unreasonable.

Added thought, there are a few title holders... The winners of 0cs, 4k,allx, and whatever else.

Maybe we could keep track of who currently has the win for each(added to the set results post each week?), and people could issue personal challenges to win the title?

Was thinking strat specific challenges could be interesting.
Everyone cashing one week, or teching, or whatever.

Difficulty would be dealing with ruined markets and land. If everyone shoots for a 30k casher land is gonna be rough, tech prices and food prices outrageous.

And winner could say they were "best" at that strat in the extreme environment.

Sorry guys, I have no control over this. The only thing I can do is provide a direct line of communication to the administration. For those of you on Express server, it could be a safe bet to expect them to be back on and running for the last couple of days - although I make no promises here...Just my opinion.


OH, definitely not blaming you. Greatly appreciate you elevating issue and providing insight.

Express is just the only server I care for, and because it's so short it's more sensitive to disruption.

i know people like to boost 1 country all set there and other people kill the boosted ones before they jump, but if you did about 250 hits on your own country and they took 250 to kill youd lose 0 stock


I suggest a spreadsheet so everyone could see math and play w variables. I didn't suspect it was particularly complicated, but because multiple people could take identical examples and play w suicider vs traditional war participant bonuses. Would simply be easier to work with a common base.

If your conversion factors are correct, tho, Jesus christ market bonus has to change IF devs want to decrease guerilla power. I knew there was A bonus, but 30% is ridiculous.
