Express is for earthers on Meth, Primary is for earthers on THC. :)

Small player pool this set is making me take chances I wouldn't normally take :-/

isint this msg same as the one u posted from #35?

Purpled! Why? I was going to get more land from him 😣

Where's the Indies??

No deflecting... and honnestly didnt even realize you were one of the 2 until i looked it up. Thus the second post admitting that point. My original post would have been worded differently if i had done my research better.

You definately were a solid commy indy... best one in awhile that didnt fast play turns.

And yes i do usually take in account that i will get attempted to be grabbed once per set by a human. You were a standard deviation increase not expected. I missed 5 grab sessions that put me just enough behind to make nw/land ratio look vulnerable. This set wont be a problem. Ill be super active the whole way while playing call of duty lol

Ektar when you called me a whiny ***** is when you crossed a line. (Even though indirectly) Before that i was willing to talk straight and own my short comings.

Being kind is free. Agreed. Give it and you get it. Most guys on here know im easy going and nice if not talked crap to. If you start telling me people in blm are racists or bullying/talking crap to me, i will dish it out with no prejudice. Lol ok that other point was making fun of myself in another convo. Note to self, Learn not to reply politically or social issues when hammered off whiskey.

I do enjoy the game and wish more people played. Ive actually worked on an intro strategy for commie indy to help players start better. Seems that is where many players are weaker and thus overall lower scores. Its nice to have competition like ebert makes it fun. If there was more players, then human grabbing would actually be a part of the game aka grab once and dodge retal. It would be a welcome additional aspect of the game. I am about done the strategy and think it would improve 5-10 players immensely for first 300-400 turns. The mid and late game playing in the end us up to them.

Ill be honnest ekert, when you grabbed me i wasnt even mad because i thought... hes only grabbing me because i already retaled another hit 30 mins ago and thus i can't retal him right away. I figured you were going to play a ton of turns (300) to max ev the land before being retaled.

My point was even with big grabbing me, the costs of getting the shadow acres were so high that 5 land grabs on the right bots would have netted you the same land outcome without the risk or high military and oil cost. If the grab was +ev long term and i was an idiot, id own it. My only regret was not recalling 5m turrets from the market when you spied on me to re-eval my defense. I had 30-45 seconds and could have 100% blocked that grab. Next time ill be ready to put shields up.

So i appologize for the hardcore comments. I hope to engage in more constructive chat with you in the future. Cheers

You realize I was the 2nd best Indy in the game this set, right? You take this fluff FAR too seriously bro. There’s a big world out there.

It was 4m and i was selling max turrets live watching for idiots like you trying to lazy grab me. Its called maxing your networth without wasting turns. A concept foreign to most players.

I stonewalled you yet you kept going for the hit. And if someone tries to stonewall you, you know you will get retaled.

Your ignorance to building up after the grab thinking there would be no consequences was amusing.

And after i grabbed you, you immediately spy on me when you get back on like a "*****" as you put it. At least you had enough sense to lay off. It would have been fun to kr you then you returning to "you have been destroyed" and smashing your phone. You talk like a boss but deep down you cant handle the adversity. Dont play dirty if you cant handle getting owned.

I guess i need to smack you with 10 inches to understand some respect. Sorry you are a lazy player who doesnt respect the art of the game with your 50 IQ. Any good player knows you avoid human players to netgain the best. If you dont that is a lesson for you to learn rather quickly.

If i didnt get donkey grabbed by 2 and 95 i would have been 45m+ nw.

I tried stonewalling 95 on his grab attempt but he spied again and oversent to ensure he cleared. Then ran off building 3500 acres with 300m cash. Then 2 hours later 6.5m jets PS retal to get my land back sigh... such -ev to grab human players.

I always retal even if it takes 10m jets....... just saying. I need to deter the behaviour. 95 was lucky i didnt war him. He almost retaled the retal and i woulda kred him.

Ebert was great as usual. Tmac got the better of him

Next set new strategy to take Advantage of being the most active player. I think my possible strat can even outdo 20k techers. We will see

to this I must agree, bottom-feeding a real player in express with so many turns available is very dangerous. In general I try to be nice if I cannot take a retal in 150-180 turns I will usually just let it go. Although based on general (unwritten but agreed upon) retal rules (based on alliance-type pacts) a player does have 3 days worth of turns to take the retal. So based on that alone it would in general still be more than fair to retal between 180 - 240 turns.

and don't RoR if they got you the first time they will most definitely get you the second time :) all that does is save a player from having to use more turns than normal. For example I gained 3K acres in two retals this reset, one of which was a retal on an RoR. This was highly opportunistic for me. It saved me 150+ exploring turns, just as I completed rebuilding from my tech-phase.

Personally I do try to make the retal as lopsided as I possibly can, it's my way of saying "hey I'm an all-x go pick on someone who is actually land-grabbing like you." I also play an FFO which in general terms is a really bad idea to land-grab. When grabbing an FFO you are in effect land-grabbing one of the most efficient war-strat countries in the game. Played correctly it will own your ass +90% of the time.

Consider this:

turns taken = 1500 -- there are about 400 turns left in the reset
FFO sitting @ 8800 acres
-- 650 mil cash worth of bushel or about 4 mil jets
-- incoming cash about 500k per turn
-- 1.2 mil oil enough to move 30 mil units
-- A SPAL of 35-40
-- weapons tech @144
-- mil-strat @133
and a potential of: CM:17 | NM: 10 | EM 7 -- MISSILES

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO HIT THIS COUNTRY???

ok so you are 2-3 its size now looking at it with impunity from 12-15 mil net thinking an easy 800 -1200 acres taken from a country @ 4.2 -4.3 mil net -- it's only about a 2 mil jet PS not bad for a loss of about 400k jets

240 TURNS LATER

same all-x country you hit is now at:(conservatively i.e worst case scenario)
12K acres
an additional 1.6 billion in cash or 9.5 mil jets
plenty of oil to move a total of 13.5 mil jets
with weapons and PS multipliers = 29 million jets
if you include potential tech sell off its another 600 mil
the PS jet count jumps to 35 mil jets

and they have another 160 turns to hit you with
oh and the missile count is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of
CM: 27 | NM:15 | EM:12

Now the player you are up against does not play nice or is having a really bad day / week / month / year
-- about 3 years ago bad year would have applied to me

launch 12 EMs -- lower your overall military strength
4 PS -- roughly 11K acres -->>> 3 EMS | PS 1 - | - 3 EMS | PS 2 - | - 3 EMS | PS 3 - | - 3 EMS | PS 4 | = 32 TURNS
launch 15 Nukes about another 5-7 K acres = 30 TURNS
launch 27 chems -- your reset is over and done with in 120 turns = 54 TURNS
and with a speed-kill/ 5 tabs and the refresh button this is done and over with in under 3 minutes

it's not that I do not know how it's more like I choose not to, and many of the live all-x players are old timers who can pretty much do the same if they desired to do so.

Yup, Kupp and McCarthy carried her, I'm in a close one with Hessman...

Humanitarian ranges decrease dramatically as the set comes to a close, regardless of gdi

GDI

I am very happy 101 did not make top 10. congrats to the winner.

101 is a fluffing ashclown

Ok that is hands down the best retal of the set and of the month. #YouOwnedHim

Hopefully you don’t get ROR and in a war. The guy that i retaled wanted to unload on me for getting Such a good retal on him. Would have been funny considering that I am still carrying 360 turns on hand and he had 40 on hand and he would have given me the FS.

Sounds like excellent advice which I have now followed :)

Where is that Noob vs. Pro thread again?

Pretty silly to think anyone can escape retals in express. But every reset, rainbow retards test their luck.

That's cool man! I lift too... typically 16oz curls but my training involves a lot of reps.

Ive actually lifted extensively. Im the 2015 super heavyweight armwrestling champ from WISCOO. I went to vegas to competen in world championships that year. It was on espn 2. Then in 2016 i had twins, now im just a puddy dad bod old man.

SMH. Thats weak. Do you even lift brahs?

What's the record for fascist farmers all x? 17mil is probably BS..

I was in the same situation. He grabbed me and challanged me to retal. He had a billion dollars but 12 M turret defense when I looked at him. Not worth it. I was gonna do spy op and eat his money but wasnt sure how he would react. Didnt want some1 to ruin me when I was close to a good finish. So I let it go.

Hopefully next set will clean and be fun too, I didn't see significant suicides this round.

I was going to retal you too but you had about 20m turrets this morning so it really wasn't worth the trouble :)

Nice, I was gonna retal you but I decided to stick to the bots instead :P

Congrats on the win, brother!

I got 7th :-)

you know if you move the moon there is no weather.
