Trife and I should be primary contacts. ICQs on the boxcar page, but you can also contact us via aim or gchat. Mine's .

Or you can find us idling on and off in #lcnostra on gamesurge.

hahahaha, I let you in. Zen's going to be so happy. =)

There's no need to "buy out" the market at a certain price level (unless, since you're a demo, you're buying it at a lower price and selling it higher--this can be a little risky, though). Usually if you're placing goods on the market at the current price level, they will sell unless the market is tanking. The newest goods placed on the market sell first, so you can put your goods on the market at the current price usually pretty safely (without having to wait for everyone else's to sell).

Cashing probably doesn't give you much of a benefit--usually for farmers, unless you're at a high enough land (read: 30k+ acres) that it's too expensive to build more with not much time left in the set, it's usually worthwhile exploring the majority of your turns and building more farms.

For the end of the set (dumping stock), you probably want to leave a couple days to get rid of all your bushels. You'll probably want to jump networth by buying military tech to lower your private market buy prices and increase your bushel sell price (max is 81% for democracies). Then, you'll want to sell your bushels and buy the cheapest military available (either off your private market or off the public market). Your private market has a maximum, but it will replenish bit by bit each turn--so if you have enough money to buy out your entire private market, you probably want to leave more time to destock than one day. Usually 3-6 days is a normal amount of time to destock.

...usually the percentages update. He should be purchasing agri tech if he isn't, though.

Before you start building other buildings, focus on building Construction Sites. This will allow you to build other buildings faster and more efficiently. Generally, you want to first build 20 CS, then spend a couple turns building farms, then build another 40 or so CS, build a few turns' worth of farms (explore for more land at that point), then build up to 100-180 Construction Sites, then continue building other buildings for the rest of the set. This will allow you to spend fewer turns building buildings, leaving you more options to explore, attack, and develop your country.

Grab some construction sites first--you want your build per turn (BPT) to be at upwards of 80-100. This will let you build much faster, using fewer turns for building, giving you more turns to explore (aka, get more land).

This will let you get started much faster--you'll need to be able to build up your land quickly. Explore for more land up until about 4000 acres!

Woah--I didn't even know those existed. I'll try to post some there soon. =)

Now, it may just be me... but I think that was the point. ;)

I thought the MBC formula was (1 - 0.23333*MilBases/Land). Is it actually .25?

Speaking of bonuses, the MMORP Top 100 bonus still isn't working for me. =( Any suggestions on how to get it to work? I've tried from multiple computers, with no luck.

...this is still happening. Haven't been able to get this bonus all month. =(

Awesome, qzjul =) I love the cow-govt definitions. =)

Actually, it looks like #735 hit LCN once (well, twice, but one was a bounce), and apparently did a bunch of harmful spy ops, then sent an ingame message to that person:

"retal for the crimes your tag has against my alliance and me.

you fluffers are rapists and farming mother fluffing pigs.


fluff YOU LCN "


How many times has LCN hit #735 this set? Zero.

Lord, save us from stupidity.

Notice the "[sic]" in Trumper's post, right after his "your"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

You're welcome.

trumper, you're giving pang too much credit. He was just as clueless as I; it was Notorious and Chewi that pointed out that it was ICN to which Fatty was referring.

How do you know God isn't a woman?






...We're not all SANDWICHES.

Ohhh. So the joke part was that it's not actually LCN. I get it now.


....

I mean, I assumed that was what he was referring to. I just can't figure out what's harder to decipher: the math or the english?

?

wait, no, sorry. LaF should be at negative four.

snozberry changed LaF from negative eight to positive nine. I think that means LaF should actually be at negative six now, not positive 10.

I'm pretty sure that nobody else is voting from my house or from my workplace, but I've been getting the same "You have already voted today. Or someone has on your IP gateway" message on MMORP Top 100. =/ Haven't been able to vote there for a while.

Looks like about 15 from TIE currently running countries in LCN.

omg. do you know who that guy is? I'm pretty sure I landgrabbed him once in tourney and he AB'd my country to rubble. >.<

Yeah... Boxcar doesn't have public forum access like Gamerstown used to. LCN has a Public Forum that we share with most other alliances on boxcar (if they enable it to be displayed), but short of that, you'd probably have to apply to gain access. I'd be happy to set you up with an account (even if you'd just want to check out our strat forums). Quite a few additional formulas there.

Heh, that was a shifty way of introducing an application site, snawdog. =P

I think most alliances these days have strats and formulae posted for their members (I know LCN certainly does!), but the eewiki has a few of the basics (although it's certainly not comprehensive).

http://www.eestats.com/techcalc is a good resource for calculating tech %s, and it has the maxes on that link. bus/res is 180, but with the tech rate formula being modified recently, tech is more numerous; I'd say the ROI balances out at about 167-168, depending on how early you get it in the set (and which server).

3 turns for 12 hours, 6 for 18. Don't forget to use the bonuses, too. They're a lot different in this new game, but definitely useful (especially if you're running a casher).


Oh, and in case you do want to find your way back to LCN, we're at http://lcn.boxcarhosting.com these days. =)

Hmmm... it might be interesting if we didn't know which were bots and which weren't, and then the bots would generate a random response to being grabbed, with percentages skewing as number of grabs grew higher. Say 30% no response, 50% attempt to landgrab back, 20% other harmful attack. As the number of attacks by a single country or tag grew, the likelihood of other harmful attacks or a PS would grow.

Good job, Detmer. Your members grabbed Trumper for his birthday.

...birthday punches?

...i'm in chicago.

hm. not so many US players, huh?

That's redundant AND repetitive!

Maki, where did your additional members come from? Were they past SOL players? Players who've played in other clans? I would be very interested to know exactly how many of those new players are new to E:E.

I used to make Starcraft UMS maps pretty often.

beware the carrier rush?


Morocco? Sioux and PI was where it was *really* at.

SHAMMY!

Where've you been!

Thanks, Maki. You guys kept up the onslaught--I was impressed. Props to you guys for a solid victory in defense of your allies. I was glad to see that both sides played nice and relatively cleanly (that I observed).
