Congrats.

The military damage and the reduced Construction costs helps Dict and Tyranny be more competitive relatively.

You are going have to wait a long long time for that Blid. But don't worry I won't forget!

In any case, what is to be done about Karim's country? Now that it is obvious that he still has acres and still has 0 defense.

Pretty sure we're all guys here galleri.....

Umm..thanks..yeah..touche..cool...

Wow. Did not expect this to generate so much conversation. #4 My Rank Is was me.

Since my country is deleted for this set, I have nothing to hide. I want to lay this out there least some folks think less of me or Karim and to clarify some questions.

Karim did notify me beforehand, so galleri deleting my country under violation of "coordination" is justified. I have no problem with that.

Q.Was I aware of rules against this "coordinated" style of play?
A。 Yes

Q. Why did I you farm Karim knowing the rules against "coordination"?
A. To be honest, I didn't think too much about the rules. I remembered Mdina (#134) & Vaccine (#162) farming TheEnigmaticLabyrinthianEmpire (#180) last set knowing that he had 0 defense and won't retal and nothing happened to them and therefore I didn't think too much about deletion.

Q. Why did I farm Karim?
A. For 3 Reasons in no particular importance:
1. Farming Karim was the only way I could put myself in a competitive position to fight for the #1 Commie Spot against Serp or perhaps Dumsnill.
2. Karim was my Def/Intel ally for the entire set. He was horribly behind for the start after he missed like 3-4days due to a trip. But I kept him still as my ally even though I could've replaced him with someone with about 2x more defense than him, so I & Serp carried him as a D ally while he provided way less benefit than we provided him. I got topfed and lost over 10k Acres, some of which I am sure I could've avoided if I replaced him for a better ally.
3. Karim offered his country up to be farmed mentioning that he feels sorry for being such a bad ally for the entire set. I thought it was generous of him to do so as an apology. It didn't seem right for me not to take it and allow a random guy stumble onto Karim and have him farm Karim instead.

Q. Any last words?
A. Karim: I appreciate your gesture. I hold no bad feelings towards you.
galleri: You saved me about a day's worth of time by deleting me, so I hold no grudge.
Blid: Not sure why you are so gungho about this issue when last set you violated the same rule on "coordination" and was not deleted. You don't consider your 5k acre as "free" nor do I consider my 6k land as "free" either.
Serp: LOL, you are probably better off with a non-commie ally than me.
LATC: "'Don't complain. Assess & adjust.'"

My only regret is that I let 3 folks who topfed me walk away free.

Fascism!

I am beginning to hate this set a lot

Would've been awesome if I played Fascism.

With the top feeding happening, who know who'll win :)
And rainbow never worked..

There is only one solution to the INDY problem. Mass farming smaller CI.

LoL, I find this conversation amusing every time. This is simple market competition. If folks are selling their stuff too cheap, you can sell yours for higher prices than you can normally if market demand is still there. If that's the case, you should thank the players who are selling their stuff too cheap, allowing you to make more money. On the other hand, if the market demand isn't there, obviously prices will drop hard, and I can't find myself pitying you techers, since this round is obviously great for you guys already.

lovely

Nope

lol LATC, we should thank the folks that are little farm buddies so we can compete for the #1 spot. If everyone played at your lvl, everyone would be mass explorers :)

Cannon, you don't lose any units when your 2 def allies hit each other right?

I am pretty sure I never grabbed CCCP before until he attacked me ;/

The fluff~ I swear there is a conspiracy going on....wtf!

pooo..you are outside my hit range ;/

Cuz techer is boring..who wants to tech for a living :P

I would like to have some more oil..I don't wanna build oil rigs! Thanks!

good lesson +)

good lesson +)

$64999 order on oil....

Just doing some quick math, past 24 hours: 43,599 indy tech sold at $4231 average price if volume sold is increased by 40% or 17439 point tech point, the average price assuming there is no increase buying will be $3022, which is still more profit that the res/business tech.
The importance of bus and res is mis-understood for techers. Most techers have too many % in bus and res than needed. Increased indy tech INDY production = less IC = more lab = more tpt. Think about it :)

What's wrong with techers nowadays. The tech prices for INDY IS SO HIGH and yet I SEE folks selling other tech.

See you next set!

>_<'

#1 Tech & Offensive Leacher seeking willing top25 tech and offensive allies. Be PRO go BRO!

.

lol? tyranny cashier?

Join GDI and don't double tap.

Ah RIP THE BIGGEST COMMIE.

PM ME! I would like to plant my little victory flag in top ten :)

Indy pleasE!

Only if you don't mind risking war. :)

Definitely an oversupply of techers. I was looking at serverstat earlier and there was like 5% more Demo being played that the previous sets.

The pendulum could definitely swing in favor of techer this set.

NEED INDY TECH Thanks!

gratz

speaking of earthquakes does having at least 1 building of each type really helps in reducing earthquake damage??

25 is just a little thief w/o too much skills

Brandenburg has loaded up on a lot of SDI.

buy more tech!

103 is funny.

........

Incidently, where is the crash in military prices or did I miss that already????

Cheap tech prices also helped to offset higher construction costs.

gotcha Xinhuan.
