Anyone keen?

The rule is... be a Tyranny casher (50% ent/res, some indies for spies). No tech start, only cash start. No theo switch allowed for destock either - you stay tyranny casher all set.

There's no real way to verify if you've been a tyranny casher all set, but really, do you wanna cheat in a browser-based text game that's 20 years past its prime?!

All X?

All X?

You shouldnt all-xp lol that makes it so boring. Tyr casher is all about overcoming the obvious disadvantages of the strat/govt combo by making use of everything else in the game to do so. :)

This was my attempt years ago:

keep in mind you guys have 100 more turns than this as well as more bots that are probably marginally better to hit, so you should all expect to beat this. :)

The rules of the old tyr casher challenge was just to run casher all set and be tyr all set, but we realized that there were three problems with this that ruined the competition for many participants:
1. It takes more time doing the build one turn -> buy tech -> repeat for hundreds of turns. (Takes long and is better but uninteresting from a challenge perspective since it just means who has most time wins)
2. We get farmed by players for being overly fat and we dont have enough money to retal and be safe from the ROR, and several of the challengers would end up quitting or in wars that prevented them from finishing the challenge.
3. We inflate the already high tech prices for the entire server if we were many doing this (which we were).

You can read about it here:

Yea I was thinking grabbing tyr casher.

On point 2, yea I'd say part of this would be to determine how much land is ideal here - balancing sticking out like a sore thumb (relative to other players) and playing it safe and cash more/earlier.

On points 1 and 3, the problem with allowing a tech start is that how long of a tech start is valid, given that you can "tech start" for half the set on high prices, and then switch to tyr casher with 4b already stocked. lol I'd prefer to keep it simple, and just cash start and yea inflate the tech prices for some enterprising techer who will win the set.

All the tyr cashers also know this, so maybe they'll want to grab that enterprising techer too. xD

Maybe next challenge should be all-x commie techer. lol

Ok I'll partake, no tech phase, some Indy for spies, 250 max?

250 max works for me. (If you grab more ICs, expect to rebuild ASAP!)

Agreed

You do realize that this means you more or less cant spy your targets.

So now you are not only doing a simple tyr casher challenge. It's a very specific challenge with no variation allowed.

You are doing tyr casher + almost no spies + almost no tech + no retals + only blind grabs. The only thing that will set you apart is how often you buy tech and how often you get hit.

Ugolino said something worth note when we decided this in the other challenge:

You should at the very least allow 10% ICs so you are not a sitting duck to every player in the game who can hit you and you cant even spy them to see if you can retal. A casher is still a casher if it runs some ICs for spies. Even last set in primary I had 20% ICs at one point, and if you spied me you would still have seen it as a casher.

Keep in mind, you should aim to beat my tyr casher from back then and I'm trying my best to give you the possibility to do that even tho you keep fighting to find a way to stay under 15m NW. :P

Hmmm.....

I think 250 ICs is definitely enough spies to break most bots, though not really other humans.

Look at my ops. I think you see a casher. I certainly do. I don't even think its too many ICs compared to when I netgain normally with a casher in say primary:

It's what ~8% ICs. My slow growth pace meant it was probably more than enough, but it's still a casher right?

I'm OK with it, hopefully more people will partake!

LOL I just found this:

Wow so KoH here actually went with a 25% increase from his prior ask!

I'm a turn 1 tyranny. None of that monarchy start bull. xD

yeah especially because its verifiable if you switch then wait 5 min before taking a turn.

Good memory refresh, don't forget that was an all X challenge, I don't remember if we got trolled though.



Yup haha

Done :-)

No it wasnt.

The all xp challenge happened on a separate reset. I participated in 2 challenges; Tyr casher and 0cs... none of them were all-xp.
There were 4 challenges iirc. I dont know what the others were.

I only did one challenge that involved grabbing and it was the 0 cs

ok lets go something weird this set haha

do we post our country numbers here? we should. then ppl who read the forum would disturb us lesser lol if not we can all whack that guy back

I'm game.. .42

Looks like there's 4 of us :-)

I'm in!

Last time this challenge was going some people who posted their numbers got targeted. :/

I’ll try the challenge why not.

I R WoG SuperFly (#25)


Also Gerdler don’t you get tired of criticizing everything and trying to find a flaw in everything? It’s literally a text based game that you can redo every 96hrs. Live a little and quit ANAL-izing everything…

have fun :)

Why? This is your time to backtrack and win one of those multiple sets you've claimed!

Hi stalker girlfriend; haven’t seen you in awhile! Will you hold my hand and be my def ally this round?

read first 5 posts ...will review

TieCash (#94)

I sent KoH and crackhead a pact. Least you two wil see first hand if I get farmed into the ground and viceversa lol

Still have a def and intel open.

Humour me, why did you make it up in the first place?

I think I'll play a fascist farmer just so I can farm all these tyranny cashers :)

Why is it that if anyone looks at your recent post history they are all about me? Are you a super fan of mine? If so I am flattered and yes I will let you buy me dinner!

No, you need to feed us, it's more profitable!



I'll accept when I start getting D :-)

This is actually a very entertaining challenge, I'm digging it 👍

It was a simple question, yet you won't even an answer it. Fatally wound your ego have I?

ok

I also asked you a simple question. Why are you so obsessed with me and what I post or don’t post?

If I was wrong and mistakenly thought I won express pre bots based on how long I have played here so what?

Now why are you so obsessed with me?

The round ends in 43.3 hours.

He's really going to act like he didnt suicide me 3 sets in a row. Specifically me, Idk how he kept finding me but nite kept getting his arse handed to him. Next time watch some black and white television instead like a old person should.

It was cumorah who you kept warring every set, which you can clearly see after the set ends in the scores page.

And you will see that you didnt kill Nitell this set either after this set ends.

0/2

Also you were the only one who kept out of GDI so maybe, just maybe, that was how cumorah found you.

Go to eestats, write "!g" in special and find the non-bot...

I'm pretty sure I've never even hit you, even once, in my entire couple decades playing this game. LOL I don't even know who you are!

wow. so nitell got his arse kicked by Kahuna?

u guys got beef with each other?

And just like that curryfool goes mia again. Damn stalker didn’t even buy me dinner!

I think Kahuna is playing dumb when he says he thinks its nitell he's been warring for the past few sets. I mean he had every opportunity to look him up and Nitell has been t10 every one of those sets that Kahuna and his friend was warring.

I elect to believe nature/gods/God has filters built in to remove stupidity of this magnitude. I elect instead to believe that Kahuna is actually a mastermind who used the mutually agreed wars with cumorah as a false flag for this sets blindside kill of what was obviously a country participating in the tyr casher challenge played by a player who never did anything to Kahuna.
