I was around before Evolution, so you should join me :P errr again, though thats probably not possible. Though I was rather flaterred when the name of the clan changed to mine :O. We even deployed InuNegikun to train you to war, and now look whats happened with all this netgaining.

bump for Maki

I think in Japan that means something else.

I wasn't speaking about the might Helmet

You can't underestimate 3 ducks. Google let me down, I was not able to find the IQ of a duck.

wasn't this thread already at the top?

That somewhat makes sense, I suppose ones hourly rate would have to drop if you took on more customers, but at some point there would have to be optimum.

I think my current maximum rate is 170 p/h, though you are only allowed to work for a certain number of hours in a week, at least at that rate. so yes I would have to agree with your incite CT.

If some clans have a policy that you aren't allowed to netgain above or you get retalled land:land, at what time point is the measurement taken.

Eg: LG, gain nw then drop networth, for example a commie indy who then sells their military and drops back into non-land:land range.

At what point is the measurement taken, to count as a topfeed, is it their networth at the time of the attack or at anytime during the retal period in the case that a country loses or gains networth.

Without clarity, there will always be a bias towards Land:Land.

Won't the quality of your members decline if you let everyone in?

well there is a fine line between friendly banter and racism :X

think I only lasted 2 days in a FA/FR position. I thought improper advances were the right thing to improve foreign relations.

Never seemed to work out when we tried to hunt multies in tourney.

:O hurry he can only maintain this state for half an hour.

To be fair, when I read the thread a few days ago I was thinking of posting the samething till I saw Pang had done it already. Pang's post is valid as America in my opinion is more likely to invade Iran than Egypt.

I think the US government is more worried about the new spark of democracy going sideways and ending up like Iran. If they get too involved it could make things complicated.

I know both muslim and christians from Egypt, its quite an interesting place. I will probably leave it at that.

I had a ball in the pro-creationist debate thread last time :>

FA's are a funny lot.

A casher with 2b casher per turn would have been fun in the old days.

I'll think about FFA

which clans aren't real?

this llaar fellow has three times more networth though. A billion dollar nw country would be rather impractical for war i would have though.

timestamps or didn't happen

Good old Sof, we woke up one day realising we considered your clan to be old friends rather than rivals.

Well its unlikely that both clans would have the same numbers of allies, the only solution would be to have the same number of enemies, an arranged war for both for a certain number of days, then DNH for the rest of the reset and see who comes out best.

Though thats unlikely to happen. I would like to see Evo beat Laf for netgaining someday though.

Well your superiour post count does have some credibility given FFA is about numbers. However I may have to pass on your generous offer.

I haven't played FFA since 2000.

is everyone one of these types of threads identical or did I just read the same one multiple times...

all these clans comming and going keeps me on my feet.

hmmm I prefer to restart as single country multiple times rather than run multiple countries. Think thats about it. Plus my views are probably unfairly tainted by exposure to clains that came over to alliance from FFA. They hardly represent the entire player base.

As a positive, FFA is probably expanding at a rate higher than 1a/alliance.

I've never played FFA but I've heard good things.

>.< since when does AT refresh when two people are posting... I ended up second best on that exchange lol.

in Summary of my rather long post:

I believe Laf would end up ahead on a netgaining against Evo due to their sometimes dubious grey practices. Though Evo would win in war.

In the past I was fairly pro laf, due to friends, until they retalled my retal with Land:Land, though that was sorted out by FRs and I ended up 200 acres ahead after the dust settled.

My favourite thing about TSA is that you can't touch your bag once you put it down in the inspection area.

On our last trip to America we nearly missed our flight cause of a 2 hour delay due to TSA. There was one dude to put the bags on the conveyor belt, one dude to watch the bags, and one dude to watch them both.

When we got our bags rushed through by our airliner, it nearly started a riot. Chinese tourists in America were amazing, if there was a gap in a line or a queue they just run at it head first. I thought that was rather impressive, though one dude got sent to the end of the 3 hour line because he was trying to put his bags in with ours and started a rush by everyone else in the queue. Security was about to pull guns on them >.<. America is hardcore.

Australia at some airports is the opposite, if you try to find security they just look at you funny like 'what are you looking at me for, I ain't checking your bag'.

hmmm my car is an '89 Camry executive, great when it starts though its developed a stalling problem now :/ Kinda rusty, breaks sorta don't work in the wet and the speedo kinda doesn't work.

all in all a good package.... generally I use public transport...

I always used to use Mirc, but I'm not paying again for the new version, previously I had an ancient version.

Trillian I didn't really like. I'll look into Irssi hopefully it doesn't have viruses.

Its good to see even if I miss a year after 10 years of lurking, that I can still follow the story here. Though I do commend the intelligent conversation slipping into discussions.

None of my alliance leaders said I couldn't post, so I will assume my previous standing orders not to post here haven't been renewed.

As I very much doubt many/any of your remember me, I'm the Evolution from Sol, not the other ones. I've been playing since 2000 and reading without posting since then, mostly >.>.

Whether I am greeted or boo'd, its a pleasure to meet you all, so to speak.
