I was actually doing ok despite food prices till I got slammed by "1337" over here, which alarmed all the other suiciders to come 2.

I think the proper fix would be to stop PS's using O allies.

Yes it'd make O allies suck but there's still SS :P.

I think I should unpublic my profile.

I +1 the DR abuse now.

Also O allies in theory are to balanced out D allies, but because PS breaks the concept of O allies, it's just a wierd counter-intuitive concept.

On Express it isn't that bad but it's still a problem but I can see 20 hour PS's being insane.

You PS, take your O allies offense and now your offense does jack squat for them till it comes back, but a good player has minimal downtime on their attacks so it'll be constantly sent out on PS's. Basically a leech.

boohoo, deal with it.

Bottomfeeds are fairly easy to retal if you are playing behind properly.

Actually 4 techers is about right, even if supply is high u just don't fluff over each other with prices and the tech should sell eventually. Though his allies are half his size which is pretty lulz.

TDA could've finished even higher if he didn't get sniped by Ebert for 756 land. I always make it a point to retal people who make hits like that even if it's not worthwhile to try to dissuade them from doing it in the future.

He was running some rediculous amount of D and 2 allies for my 2mj/4mt country. Ebert was running his Techer country again.

He barely got the break off too. I had 2 D allies and he had 2 pending O allies and 1 ally who gave him barely enough O to break me. 350k!

O allies are kinda ass in this game cuz when u PS you don't give any benefit to O allies.

Also I change my name every set cuz its fun, there are benefits and downsides. Having the same name and allies removes some of the challenge for me. If I did do the same name I'd just run a 4 man tech party. Srsly. For people who don't change their name I know not to spy/attack.

I had to do a 4b destock using half the public market xD.

I decided I didn't need the rest of my turns and started sniping the goods on the market so i'd get stuff cheap (like <$240 per nw)

I scouted out the rest of the farmers too. The topfeeder didnt have a chance. Croatia was freaking HUGE cept playing a Dict with more land seems to netgain less than a full teched out Demo.

Cheap tech probably means people can get producing faster at the expense of Techers :P. More reppers meant less food to go around.

My thoughts are that if your deep in DR from legit attacks you should be able to attack once or twice without opening yourself to getting fed again.

Don't use it!. It counts as an attack and if you do it twice you can be AB'd down.

I don't think a complete bypass is good, there needs to be strategies other than stay on top and bottomfeed everyone below you.

I was thinking of something like

2 DRs.

1 True DR, 1 Attack DR.

When people attack you, your attack DR is considered.
When you attack, you lose 50% of your Attack DR and -1 from your True DR. Overtime you gain +1 to your Attack DR until it matches your True DR. If you continue attacks you continue to lose 50% of your Attack DR and -1 from True DR.

This might not be the best fix but you can't just remove the option to topfeed or midfeed.

Actually getting caught is no different cept the success IMO. If the guy wants to double tap or retal with ops he's open to being AB'd and GS'd right?

If his goal is to net then he's not going to retal any amount of bomb ganks or commit espionage.

There are starts that can incorporate getting hit and using DR.

Taking hits at the start or at the very end isn't as disruptive as a bunch of random max hits in the middle of the set. Learn to attract hits in the beginning and deter in the middle of the set.

I wasn't the one who posted the mad story. Im just trying to give you clarity. Just because you think you deserve to not get hit doesn't mean you won't get hit if it can happen.

Im pretty sure bottomfeeds are 99% intended that the target never hits back.

If you are "well defended" you don't get hit.

How isn't topfeeding a strategy? It might not be a good one, but it's still there. You don't intend to retal or you retal and get very little for the hit. He's executed a strategy either way.

Maybe he goes all Jets to deter people from people landtrading him for retals? He is now open to other topfeeds. Oh man who could have known that Bottomfeeds were bad against bigger people who bottomfeed and then Topfeeds are bad against people who topfeed them? Mind = blown!

Were you stocking turns? If you were stocking turns maybe you should have gotten "more turrets".

Servers also don't say you can't hit him more than once. Again that might not be "good" strategy but the option is always available should you take it.

Strategies don't have to be good, they just have to exist.

Wait strategy is not allowed now?

Lame topfeeds? How about lame bottomfeeds, what's the difference?

How about midfeeds?

I didn't realise this was magical christmas land of Alliance. If you don't like that you can't get your land back you are more than free to attack him more than once!
