You've never tried self-farming, yet you claim its easy. Have you tried spending a few billion dollars a day on buildings while running a rainbow? Rainbows cannot landtrade, and keep up with non-rainbows. It will not work. Landtrading places a huge strain on the economy of one's country, which separates the skilled players who can handle an economy from the unskilled players who cannot maintain a good economy.
You also really suck at counting. There's 22 countries over 100k acres right now, and there will probably only be about 25 or so over 100k acres this set. Given that you will be shocked if there are not well over 100 countries with more than 100k land, I guess you need to prepare to be shocked.
In previous sets, people tried the strategy of putting all their eggs in one basket and boosting one country at the expense of all the others. Due to IMP killing off countries like these two sets in a row, and Mercs doing mutually beneficial landtrading more efficiently than anyone has done before, we're seeing more 100k acre countries this set. Of the 22 100k acre countries, 16 of them are by two players in Mercs, 4 are from one player in PANLV, and 2 are from SemperFi.
Three of the four countries between 85k acres and 100k acres are done grabbing. There's a ring of 8 between 80k and 85k acres each by the same player which haven't grabbed, and may or may not be done grabbing for the set. There's another country there that is done grabbing for the set, and there's one country in SemperFi thats still growing. Then there are two countries at 74k acres in SemperFi still growing, and then by that point you're down to 70k acres.
You claim that self-farming doesn't take any skill, yet you've never tried it. Go compare what Mercs has done with self-farming to what SemperFi, Focus, and others have done with self-farming.
The 3rd largest tag on the server in avg land is a 1 man tag with 21,398 acres. Mercs has 32 all-explore countries, the smallest of which is 21,339 acres. Only two tags have managed to outgrow our all-explore countries. Are you going to demand that our all-explore countries not explore so well?
I think you know that your assertions are blatant lies. You know that there's nowhere near 100 countries over 100k acres and 200 more over 60k acres. I think you know that if you tried self-landtrading, you wouldn't come anywhere near what Mercs has done.
Look at the difference between the land generated by how Mercs landtrades, and compare that to what other alliances have done. There is a huge difference. If it doesn't take skill, then how is there a huge difference in the landsizes people have gotten?
If you have to lie to support your position, you must believe that the truth is harmful to your position.
