lmao, I just had to fluff and I got my win.

You can come back now.


I am not active much these days, so I missed this, Kingme. Congratulations, my friend. I am still seeking mine, but will be awhile before I can play as competitively as I once did.

I remember how it took me forever to get to the top 10, and then I reeled off about 50, so maybe getting that first win out of the way will be similar.

Congrats to Gerdler on the win and everyone else in top 10. I just missed it playing a strategy I rarely play, but it was fun. As beerdrinker said, competing for top 10 spots is getting tougher now.

Nice conversations with drkprinc and MountainYeti.

We can all use the same country name as SuperFly. That will at least make the perp scratch his balls for a little while.

This was a good set with the bots, imho. I do not care if we have them or not, but than ran well from start to finish..Thank you.

P.S. Did you bump the earthquake switch while slapping the bots around? I had a record number..several even before getting oop! Overall, a nice set for the server.

Yep. It's very addictive. I often compare it to my golf game back when I played. I was throw my clubs, cuss, and swear I would never play again. Then, while leaving the course I would call on my cell phone to set a tee time for my next game.

That's right, beerdrinker, and I chose rep because it looked like there weren't any bots. I haven't play rep since alliances were part of the game. I had to learn to play commie after the bots because my rep kept being mistaken for a bot (because ppl weren't looking at the turns).

Funny how you and I have opposite strats for bots or no bots!

What's up, MY? We need to chat sometime...it's been awhile. I'm glad you agree; thought I was the only one who saw it like that.

Marshal, I must have missed the $80 ones while trying to help a guy with 1 turn and hundreds of buildings in a every category (like a turbo-charged rainbow) understand that it is not good to hit a (human) target with 360 turns and get pissed over the inevitable retal. I think he's a good guy. He just doesn't understand the math part of 1 turn vs 360 if he doesn't like the retal, nor the math of gaining 300 acres only to loose 1000.

I was that person once and Vic and many others taught me. It doesn't take long to learn this when one wants, but it seems people take offense to general tips these days.

Please try the $80 jets again. Get beerdrinker to help you so you have some competition on "how low can you go"! (This is a joke for all of the coordination officials out there!)

I mentioned this in an older post, but wanted to say it again. I do not care if we have bots or do not have them, though the land is great. What bothers me the most is the inconsistency of their presence as strategies and turns are selected on the basis of the bots at work or not, at least for me. This set, it didn't appear that they were going to be operable and with 60 ppl, a twist was added. But the real twist was hundreds of turns were spent and then they become functional.

Don't misunderstand this. I appreciate the person or people who stepped up and got the bots in the game. I just think that if they are not working by Wednesday morning, we should leave them out. Consistency.

I have played two consecutive weeks for the first time in 5-6 months. Last week, they stopped working. This week, they are functioning a few days after strategies/ govs selected, and turns spent.

Invite your friends to play, contact the old veterans and let's get them back in the game so we do not need bots.

I was wrong; that wouldn't be a war.


Message me ingame bro. I don't want to hit you for low aceras lol



lol...you probably owe me one or two, SuperFly! But, playing without bots does let me to go back to an old strategy I stopped using when the bots were created.

I screwed up last week. It was my first time playing in months, I didn't know the bots were not working and hit mobzta and kingme...two pals. They let me slide, and I appreciated it, because later I lost 1k acres to gogy.

That's the downside to the shrinking game. Most of us have played together for years and are pals and respect each other. Looking back, it's a good thing we do not have alliances anymore or it would be more like a modified team server.


Relax..are you lost? lol. Yes, I lost my mind and came back over for a week or two!

beerdrinker is one of the most positive and encouraging people on this server, usually keeping those thoughts to himself from what I have seen. For him to get to this point, speaks volumes....and, as Marshal said, on deaf ears..sadly.

I don't care (except for the inconsistencies) if the bots don't work, but the d1ckhead factor makes the pool of competitors, and those who actually try to get better each week, much smaller. So if we have 50 players, maybe only 30 want to win.

I have never attempted anything in which I did not do my absolute best at being successful. While I have never won even after playing for years, I still ask a lot of questions, compare notes, and try to put myself in position to be successful. I try to get better each week; I haven't given up to become a suicider. I suppose there are those that consider screwing up others as being successful. I have always said the personalities on this game are a snapshot of the personalities we see in society...the good, the bad, the cruel, weird, etc....and probably at a similar ratio.

So, when one creates a country for next week, he/she should ask themselves if they want to be part of the solution in making this game competitive, fun, teach others, etc, and help it grow, or contribute to the problem that remains to be a shrinking pool of total number of players, which includes a portion of d1ckheads that only want to screw up someone. If part of the later, don't play.

lol a few sets ago Ektar got mad that I retalled him for 3x the land 20 hours later with all jets but I still had 200+ turns on hand after that so didnt' matter as my turrets outpaced his jets in minutes.


What's up, my man drkprinc? I'm going to try to play this week so message me...you know the name. It has been so many months since I have played, I thought the set began today..duh!

As for the quote, Vic taught me that lesson right after I began playing Express. I think it took a couple of sets for me to completely understand as I was the short end of the 3x the land a couple of weeks, making his "Noob vs Pro" thread. I finally learned to hold turns and hit targets that I think cannot retal later. And, that is now when I retal - when it is convenient and much more profitable for me. I'll give up 50-100 acres early in the week to gain 1k on Saturday or maybe even Sunday.

And before people get all pissed about it, the remedy is do not hit a country (no matter its size) that is holding a lot of turns if you don't want to be hit later.

-----------------------------------

Nice scores for the acre amounts. Helmut, you had massive land!! Nice.

Where are all my commie brothers that used to dominate the top 10? Has the game been tweaked, or some great techers playing?

I wish I could play demo like those guys that finished 2, 4, and 8. I had a top 10 the very first time I played demo a couple of years ago as a farmer, but I don't think those guys were playing demo farmer, and I'm guessing that reseller takes more time than a good commie country does. (I always associate it with daytrading stock and it requires a lot of focus and time, which I never have!)

Hope to see you guys in a few days..I wonder how many are going to think I'm a noob since I haven't played in a few months and double or triple tap me, which requires major retal. Heck, I wonder if I can remember my strat so I don't play like a noob!

Congrats to the winner and everyone in the top 10.

lol, SF and DP.. It will likely be a few months before I can come back. Only have time for one server right now due to RL stuff.

SF, I play a sub-par commie as well, but if bots are gone, I may switch over to a slow playing, all-x PLUS retal casher. I know some nut will hit me if I slow play and trade me 100 acres for 1,000 a few days later.

See you guys on this server soon, I hope. Still having fun with you on the other server right now, although I'm not around much there either since I'm just all-xing.

Someone unfamiliar with my country and/or my retal policy just fluffed up. Now, should I accept it as a gift, which is against my personality and playing style, or should I respond as I normally would. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
