lol, it's a roll of the dice every set lol.
thank god i stocked up on oil though. I can make 2 more hits before running out. Hopefully there'll be cheaper oil on the market then.
People should really buy the cheap oil when they can instead of when they need it.

First of all, don't assume that i'm whining or i actually lost to this guy.
Second, he has to delete so i can't farm him. That country was probably someone's land farm if no one was to hit him because all he did was explore. You should be glad i did hit him. I also hit the 360 AB country when no one dared to. It's dumb that you guys are scared of a stupid name.
Third, I did spy on him. I calculated that he had to go all jetter for the ~200+ turns he had just to hit me back. I figured i would've been able to farm him if he did that but apparently he played even dirtier and delted himself. Probably only a person with more than one country would do that but I could be wrong.

the whole point of this is to show how stupid obnoxious people(you know who i'm talking about) ruins this game for everyone else. At least I still team and primary is about to restart.

yeah, that is my country. I forgot to join gdi before attacking so it was whatever. I knew it was going to happen. I was still going to make top 10 after getting ABed because i had plenty of cash and tech to sell and turns also. Then i got missiled but i was still gonna make 18-20mil net because i had 800mil cash to rebuilt to tmbr. I rebuilt to tmbr with plenty of cash left. Then i got missiled again lol. So fml. And now i'm not going to make it to top 50 lol.
this round was a disaster lol

Can we make earth somewhat kinda towards like utopia to keep the strats evolving and interesting. And a slight gain in production when having a high % of one type of building. This will involve everyone in using the market instead of having 1/3 of countries running rainbow strats. What made this game interesting is the public market and i think we should exploit it to make it even better.
For example, add something like personality on top of it or have a the government bonuses slightly change every set. This will keep more players on their toes so it won't be as redundant.
The more variables, the more fun and interesting the game becomes. We can even have a special unit or special ability for each government. Like communism can do propaganda while others can't.

We don't have to make a different version of utopia but I just think more variables in the game will definitely create a lot more interest. I honestly think the reason why utopia was more popular simply because there's so many variations plus it forced interactivity.

express is extremely volatile. primary is pretty stable but still volatile in comparison to what it used to be like with over 10k players. It used to be that a $10 change in military prices was huge. Now, I saw it swing ~20-30 a day on the regular. Express can swing over $70 for military and 15 for food. Let's not even mention the wild prices for oil. Just my observation :)

i just remember when primary had like 15k people playing and it was awesome to run through the ranks. Now you jump 1 mil nw and you're up 8 ranks lol. The market used to be stable and predictable all the way through til the end. Now it's as volatile as the real stock market lol.

youre joking right tduong? they think your JJ... they will never stop until proven one way or the other.. lol the witch hunt continues. Im thinking youre not... but it sure would be funny if you were.
Funny thing about witch hunts, they have a mob mentality and when they smell blood... theyre just like sharks. ;)

sure is a small & weak mob. Any person with 2 brain cells would be able to know if i'm jj23 or not. I will neither confirm or deny. It is boosting the popularity and post counts of this express board.

For a small sample size, luck can be involved. But with a large number of countries, the luck factor can be ignored. If a person repeatedly has issues with topfeeds, uncooperative market, etc. there's something behind it.

Its not about finishing top 3 90% of the time, its about the ability to repeatedly finish at the top, even if you've got a lot of countries that didn't make it.

It is a slight advantage that good players ally with each other, but they do switch allies during the set to switch to those who are doing well. If they are allied to a scrub, they'll quickly drop the alliance with that scrub and find a good ally.

The avoiding hitting other people is not so much due to mutual respect or friendship as it is to self preservation. Its just not wise hitting someone who you know is gonna have a good country. Its not good for growth to hit someone who has a decent chance of retalling you.

If you hit one person who might be able to retal you, you're relying on luck to keep from getting retalled. If you make a habit of it, its not so much luck, as the inevitable happening. Similar to what happened to Industrial Engineer in primary with his numerous double taps while carrying zero tanks. If he had survived without being suicided, that would have been luck. But with the number of people he double tapped, its not bad luck that he got ABd.

Luck exists in small sample sizes, of when the extremely unlikely occurs. In an individual set, there's some luck involved in who gets a top finish. But over the long term, its not luck. And it doesn't require being top 3 90% of the time. You can be far less impressive while still being clearly one of the best.

word. Thank you for being neutral. It seems like everyone on these boards jump at the first different POV they see. I understand the whole luck the consistency factor. I was just saying that if you finished top 3 over 90% then there is no doubt anyone can say that you are not the best.
I will finish top 3 eventually but i don't want to go traditional. I want to do something different that makes no sense and still win. So i will need luck since i'm going against the grain. I might just do dict techer stay monarch all set lol.

Winning comes with a bit of luck also. Even the best players cannot win every set. There's no point in debating who'se the best unless you win top 3 spot over 90% of the time. And claiming to be best in team or alliance is also arguable since if you are in a good clan then you will have an advantage. It's all relative.

Says the guy with no top 3s ever?

Its not luck that makes Bakku, Afaik, and others better than you. You can tell yourself that they are just luckier than you, but its not the case. They're just much better than you.

i never said i was better than them. I simply stated winning comes with a bit of luck also because you can still get ruined unexpectedly by suiciders and other reasons. Also sometimes the market doesn't work in your favor but a good player can adjust, however, that'll put you slightly behind other top players if you had to.

Note. Good players like bakku also have some very good advantages. Like they know other good players to ally with. You don't see him allied with scrubs do you? They also know a lot of other good players playing that'll avoid hitting them due to mutual respect or just friendship. They are pretty much always in a good alliance or team.

That being said, I take nothing from them. I never claimed top 3s or said i was better. My record is short, so how could I do that already. All my countries so far has been experimental. I admit even with luck on my side, they'll probably still end up on top of me. So please people, stop reading between the lines get all emotinal. I'm not disclaiming anything from anyone.

In short, i believe he is one of the best to ever play ,but claiming he is, is still debatable.

and thanks for the tech start up :)
