yep havoc, i have my own 6 man tag as hr! was testing out startup strats and the quickest way to get to tyranny techer. don't have the omega tag protection like in alliance =)

lol i don't actually care that much since they are farming me anyway...i'm just surprised at how many players on this server actually don't know how to play properly.

** You should really do a spy op to see if I have any missiles in the first place...

hahah i actually meant cruise missiles...always get EM and CM mixed up...

thanks for the offer, but i was really just testing startup strats for the alliance server with the new changes. i had fun taking massive retals while it lasted tho =P

I'm flattered you thought I was important enough to try a killrun on my top 10 country in my 6 country solo tag after I raped you on land just doing 1:1 retals. Next time try not to grab me 6 times in one day if you don't want to lose all your land, especially since I have tyranny techers with close to max military strat tech.

I suppose I must thank you, since I was only testing strats in FFA, but you gave me a chance to brush up on walling during war. Here's a couple tips next time, when you actually go after somebody else like Lae:

1. Go BR earlier instead of GS, you get double the kills for each attack, especially when your GS start to fail.
2. Stop launching nukes and chemical missiles, they do virtually nothing and waste a good turn that you could've used to kill my civs.
3. Don't grab 6 times and then offer FA as a recruitment tool. It doesn't really work, I'd rather just take all your land.

That is all.

2 problems:

1. is the timer accurate for the mobile template? i logged in when it said last played 18h ago, but i only got 3 turns. maybe i cut it too close, but it seems like it's a little bit off.

2. when i go to the bonus page on mobile, it just says that i selected an invalid country.

can we add the ffa main control page for other servers? i basically would like to see what i have on my market and whether it sold without logging in and ruining my turn bonuses. i know it can be figured out by searching through boxcar and guessing, but the main control screen would be nice for the other servers.

hmm...that is completely untuitive and nobody will really figure that out on their own...so handing this out on a silver platter is good.

hmm so why is 35% the optimal tax rate?

12th! Almost made it into the top 10 with only 14k acres in my first reset in a decade =)

hmm it's happening again?

you can also make the purchase price low enough so that theos or dems with max military tech could make a small profit just buying and selling on the PM, which is capped by the replenishment rate.

Currently, it seems like the ability to purchase bushels on your private market is the single most useless facet of the game. Basically, unless you are incredibly dumb or run out of food in the first 100 turns, you will never purchase food on your private market. Is there a way we can change the game to make it more useful? Perhaps we could lower the base price and replenishment rate for bushels on the PM so that it could be useful to purchase for some people? Maybe like a Theo Farmer Reseller strat?

hmm...boxcar doesn't seem to be updating people's NW for me...anybody else have this problem?

I think when you click on "bonuses", you get taken to the same screen, regardless of which server you are playing on. There are no separate bonus pages for the different servers.

lol 127 is GDI too...so he had to declare war first...

lol what happened there? how did #127 become #46's missile dump? that's gonna hurt his reselling a bit.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something, but lately I've been trying to put bushels on the market for over $900 and I get an error message saying something like my goods were unable to be placed on the market. I'd have to lower my price a little before they go on the market. Is there some kind of price ceiling for market goods or something?

is the PM change not on primary already?

nope, food decays per turn

that's probably the food decay kicking in

116063*.999 = 115947

I'm not sure if this has been suggested, so forgive me if this is a repeat.

Is there a way we can get standing orders to stay even after you run out of money? Just don't purchase anything until you get money. For example, suppose I have $1 million dollars and $500 million worth of tech going on the market. Let's say I want a standing order of $300 million worth of turrets. Now suppose that my order uses up the $1 million I have on hand. Currently the system will cancel the rest of my order because I have no money left. Is there a way to make it so that it doesn't cancel my order, but instead resumes my order once my $500 million of tech sells?

actually ponderer's bot idea sounds awesome. i just started playing again after a long break and i'm shocked at how hard land is to get nowadays. the things people are doing are both ridiculous and boring. all-explore is the worst thing to happen to this game.

back in the good old days i don't remember very many people running all-x countries. you either bottomfeed, middle feed, or top feed, and that made the game way more fun. bottomfeeding the multies was the best part.

might be someone else's icq # now...i haven't logged onto it since i stopped playing circa 2000-2001

thanks for all the messages, both public and private! i really appreciate it.

i've decided to take my talents to south beach for the upcoming reset!

(i mean i've joined omega, please don't kill my country! looking forward to playing with you all again!)

hmm some great choices...i do remember all 3 being fairly close to MD.

i played under the name Viola. i was part of probably the second generation of MD leaders after people like Samoan, Diocletian, and Mags left. at various points i was a DL, VP, and FA.

So I used to be in the top leadership of MD back on the old server about 10 years ago (under a different name), but I stopped playing. Whatever happened to MD? Any MDers still hanging around here?

On a different note, I think I want to play again. I see the alliance server just started. What's the best clan for an old MDer? I stopped playing 10 years ago so I basically am a newbie. Any suggestions on who to join?
