anyone in the top 10 want to be my friend? (it rhymes ^_^)

i have one slot, im new so im kinda lonely up here T.T

whats your country #?

152

are you the jack i talk'd to?

yup :)
youre doing really good but...
you multi hit some guys that arnt going to like it.
part of being good is knowing who NOT to hit.. lol believe it or not.. they camp and wait for guys than before you know it... WACK! you get retaled or AB'd 10x

if you got questions.. you can post here, theres alot of guys will offer advice.

i hear you about multi hit, when i started the set i made sure to only hit once per country i attack'd. But while browsing through other big top ten i notice ya'll multi hit. so when i see a juicy target....i kinda go balls to the wall lol. By Juicy i mean like targets with little to no d....lots of land....and no allies with rainbow buildings :O.

i see that im in the top 10 but since im new i doubt that'll last. i bet there are some sneaky pro's just waiting for turns or w/e then BAM 65498416941654 networth and i'll be under 100 :P

do you use eestats.com? you can check past sets and see what countries are top players or if they retal... #1 and #35... will probably retal 1 hit... they will probably kill you now...

Oh, it's coming. It's almost guaranteed. By balls to the wall, it seems you meant balls to a paper mache wall. Some of these guys will kick through a concrete wall, let alone paper mache. Lol.

You will log in and go, "Oh, Sweet, Potato! Where did all my people go?"

oh...well since i hit them a few times i suppose i say this....if u want to kill me do it during the weekends...i work all day and night T.T can't stonewall them :P

enjoy your set everyone i'll be in the ground soon :O

I'm always top 3 at turn 99, NEVER finished better then 24th, in other words, top anything means nothing in first 36hrs ;)

LOL, yaaaa... so ya might be in some trouble there.. next time... join GDI before you hit anyone and.. try to hit 1 time per country or you will probably end in a nuclear war :)

well thats the fun of express right? losing a country that took a day to make isn't so bad :P as long as we all can have a laugh :P

BTW, Slash will slash your throat when he sees the tripple tap, LOL!

btw newb question, the numbers we get for our countries are those random? or given as players creat countries for express? or maybe carry over from last?

Creation # :)

as people create... the main goal of express is to net gain and rank top 20... thats what most of the people here play for... if you multi tap them you wreck their set.. and then they wreck your country.... so land grabbin gets to become more of an art... try and hit people 1x that wont be able to retal you back... and dont retal a retal.. its game over again... most times

thx buddy, your kindness and quick answer to my question will ease the pain of watching my country burn slowly...

hmm i wonder...will the new phoenix rule (dead countries reviving) apply to express? meh no need to answer that one i'll find out soon and tell ya'll ;)

bonus post

you probably wont be killed.. that would be with Gorilla Strikes(GS's) they are probably going to Artillery Barrage you.. or just hit back.. how ever many times you hit them<--- this would be best case senario.. lol
Have fun, play nice. :)

ayeeeee there may be hope still :D

...unless you are giving me false hope in order to have the pain of being red cut even deeper.....haha jk.

well heres to maybe not being kill'd :P

Yes, phoenix rule is active here :)

nice! well this bird gonna join GDI next time haha

They might just hit back 1x if they're having a good round and they fear war

fantastic! lets hope its that then eh? haha

canadian by chance, eh?
i live in Edmonton

oh no my friend, i am american :D which probably explains why i pick on smaller countries lol nah i kid ;)

but yeah im american :D

no one will probably kill you. unless you hit KoH. but you will most likely be ABed into the ground where at your land the cost of rebuilding, you may be better off starting over.

here are some quick tips

1. join GDI. you will not do well without it.
2. play mutliple times a day. if you play once a day, this server is not for you
3. dont hit more than once unless you either know the person you hit cant retal or are very confident in your abilities to stonewall. mainly buy tanks which = large expenses.

and to give you an indicative of what your top 5 in the first 2 days means.

when you hit 2M networth, i logged in with 366(310) turns.

ive run about 200 turns. and you have approximately a 1.8M nw lead on me. but my worst finish over the last 3 months in a reset where i didnt get involved in a war, is 6th. or so.

do the math.

ah ok, so the post i said about ppl silently waiting is true :D i will do the math once u show me your work cause iono where to start with that lol

and thx i have the #2 down and i'll be sure to do 1 and 3

Send the two countries that have "MD" on them a message about your mistake and have them take their retals, I'm sure those two cats will understand and won't destroy your country ;) might want to try it with the other too, It wouldn't hurt to.

well work is. some people like to start fast.

advantages to that.

1. get ahead early, make it harder for others to hit you
2. more targets to hit... and less offense needed to break
3. your sh1t sells for higher.. tech/military.

advantages to starting later

1. i can see what market trends look like and what strategy most people play before i pick mine to avoid playing into a saturated market.
2. i will occasioanlly get bottomfed by people like you. for 100A. which i will retal the next day for 1000+
3. i have a lot of turns stored up which i can run very quickly, meaning if i grab someone, i can immediately run 50+turns afterwards to grow out of their range.
4. gives me extra time to set up Alliances/Naps.

nice nice :O

like i said, im not even in the top 75 right now.. so you are still well out infront. i normally crack the top 10 by friday evening... and from that point its upward momentum the rest of the way.
