[quote poster=SolidSnake; 15155; 272577]Lol. Me trolling highrock (someone who I generally get along with decently well?) seemingly has got way out of hand ;) but since you seem to feel honesty is the best policy, i too shall oblige.

I'm sorry I didn't memorize the cashing formula after never having played casher. Maybe my top 5 casher this set will help make up for it.
And actually, my fascist destock ABSOLUTELY outperformed a theo destock, even if the fascist bonus didn't go away. It was always a matter of fascist versus demo. And also, whether or not the fascist bonus goes away is still unclear, because one of our guys tested it last set and it did go away for him. I've asked this on the Q&A board without an admin response. Unless you have tested it for sure, quit acting like I don't know what I'm talking about.
And I did think a techer would win. I just severely underestimated the ability of KSF to net with techers. If I had one of their early land 20k techers this set, there is no doubt I would be ahead of Oden right now. Also, I'm not convinced Oden isn't getting FA or something.
And it's funny how all the Laffers suddenly think I can't net when the political environment of this game has changed.
Since you've gone all ragetroll i'll post my honest two cents. Firstly, anyone that claims to be a netgainer that is confined to knowledge about one strategy is a nub. Competitive netgaining involves being able to predict market trends before a reset begins, being able to adapt to market trends once a reset has begun, and being an elite level land grabber. Can you honestly state you posses all three qualities?
Yes? I've finished top 10 with three different strategies in the last 3 sets.

And I wasn't going to say anything, but since apparently my head is already too big and apparently Laf thinks I'm an idiot, I will say that I am absolutely better than any of your top Laffers. I have proven again and again that I can outperform anybody without ever being given free land or abusing small clans in non-war situations (a la when Laf starts farming ICN, PDM, 2025, etc.). Try finishing near the top 8 resets in a row without ever being gifted land or abusing small clans and then we can talk.
Finishing near the top? are you kidding me? in this netgaining environment a borderline retarded blindfolded monkey running an all explore, would finish "near the top". So lets get that out of the way first.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were mad about something else and this was you venting because for you to have an honest held belief that you could out-netgain LT would be funny, and as i've told LT many times, LT sucks ;), but to believe you could consistently out-netgain Xin, or hlw, or eug, or chun, or bakku, or well me... Well, frankly i would suggest then your netgaining ability, and your grasp on reality have something in common, in that they both leave something to be desired.

Yet somehow only 3 or 4 of Laffers can consistently finish in the top 10? If it were so easy, why doesn't everybody do it. I'm pretty sure if I were gifted land the way Laf is most resets, I can hang with/beat any one of you most of the time. I don't understand why that's so hard to believe. You, Xin, Hanlong, bakku, and eug are elite netgainers, some of the best of the best, but I've beaten you before (and you've beaten me too). I've beaten bakku and eug before as well. I taught bakku how to destock the first time he won. The only person who I think might be better than me is hanlong, but I think we're very close. In any given reset, depending on land and politics, any one of us can win, but I think my track record is way more consistent than any one of you so I don't know why you think I don't have a grasp on reality...
