It's always been his style. In the past he topfed big countries really late in the set where it wasn't worth hitting his 10k country back.

It's the beginning of the set. Indy prices are always low and tech prices are always high at this time. Been like that for 20 years.

Don't use this to push your narrative. You know damn well this is normal. Supply and demand. Indy is a viable startup technique. It produces early. It takes time for techers to produce.

I believe that was something that was discussed and may be implemented when the attack code in implemented. See drkprinc's post above this one.

Let's just ignore 1-5 and 10. Regardless of if I agree with them or not there is no point in discussing since your mind has been made up.

Thesis 6:
I'll be completely honest, I haven't looked closely at their country makeup early on to know if the numbers you have provided are reasonable. However, I would very much agree that bots should carry more defense. I do believe the 0 defense bots are not as common, but they do still exist.

Thesis 7:
Again, where have you come up up with these VERY specific numbers? I agree with the fundamental argument that a limit should be in place, but I'm not sure these are accurate.

Thesis 8:
Just like a real player, this isn't completely accurate. Based on current trends, play times, and what you need to do with your cash...you may need to sell lower. This would be especially true if they are in a hurry to meet Thesis 6?

Thesis 9:
I don't see a flaw in this at all. I agree completely.

** Let me also add that I think some of these "flaws" are a good thing. Bots aren't meant to be better than players. If anything they should be worse than most. This whole concept was brought in to stop the farming of new players. Better the bots than new players... and to that I'd say they have been a success.**

I dare say any decent player can. He threw several "challenges" at me in the past that I easily beat as well.
Always an excuse with this one.

Just keeping you in check. Claiming you're some freedom fighter against only the evil techers isn't accurate.

You stole cash from me all the time when I was casher...

Now i'm curious, do you just use the old NW trick?

Neat, a 7 year old post.

Just living the dream... I seem to be back a bit.

Yeah... but you're a really good lazy player!

Nah, that won't work. You can't shock the stupid out of some of the people here.

It's pretty easy to make a top 10 with any government type.
Just have to avoid all the idiots.

Congrats everyone.

Didn't put in much time, but managed a top 10.

I guess you have your answer then...

I seem to have you quite confused lately ;)

Fine... I'll just stick to trolling you on here since you killed my country.

Your face is a n00blet

lol... you're funny.

I guess I'm not good at trolling :(

You're a troll!

Everyone is better than you

I think I can speak for everyone here, when I say... nobody cares.

Thanks guys, primeval told me to find him on IRC.

Is the sticky correct? Who is the current active moderator for express?
I don't want to send an email to someone who isn't even managing anymore.

I need a word, please and thank you.

Be careful what you wish for...

That ebert guy still plays too.

Sorry I couldn't give you a run for your money as well.

join GDI

Just squeaked past me, you jerk! :P

Congrats ebert and everyone else that made the list.

The country? The cryptocurrency?

If we told you, we'd have to kill you.

Don't do it... or I'll catch you!

Congrats to all!

beerdrinker it's all yours, you better keep getting those top 10's!

Wow... It's been over 15 years!

Damn, I thought I was cursed with eight 2nd place finishes before my first win. He had ten before he won.

Thanks! lpardess was a tiny step ahead of me all set. I got a late start and couldn't match the land.

I was able to resell a bit at the end and increased my NW by about 4m, but you just rocked it. Congrats again.

FACT

Congrats lpardness. Glad you got your win!

Still tied at 70 beerdrinker :)

and I, your fetish of beer!

secret is out! Oh wait....

fordy is SAVAGE!

KJ and Maz... good times.

Good Luck EDge!

Good set everyone.

Gerdler got me in the last few minutes. I went with sleep over good tech sales and it cost me :p

Probably got frustrated with someone for ruining his set and had some choice language.

I would never do that... I'm the one that messed up. I don't ever hit human players, unless for a retal (or if I'm in a war of some sort).

I expected my set to be over. I'm glad my apology was accepted.

Thank you for not turning me into a parking lot. I triple tapped you thinking you were a bot, and you were kind enough to only get your land back with one retal.

Appreciate it.

Congrats dittie.
