I thought i'd just create a thread so we don't have to go to 5 different ones to read about this little war you got yourself into.

War Stats: Starting point 11:30 AM gametime 2/3.
Rank 1 #29 Fiscal Cliff $18,016,150 NW 48,757 acres
Rank 52 #265 Whos Yo Daddy $8,337,974 NW 23,988 acres

Current:
Rank 17 #29 Fiscal Cliff $13,959,866 41,150 acres
(Change) Rank -16; NW - 4.05M; Land -7,600

Rank 53 #265 Whos yo Daddy $8,597,336 18,912
(Change) Rank -1; NW +250k; Land -5000

So BobbyATA..... Whos Yo Daddy?

Lol. I wouldn't declare victory just yet, get him down for enough of us to start getting some of that land before he loses too much more.

Definitely not declaring victory, just attempting to publicly humiliate my opponent.

I won't win this war, my goal is not necessarily to "win" if you define winning on the better finish. My goal is to ensure Bobby doesn't finish in the top 100, and it's looking like that is likely.

If you want the land, you have a short window to get it. Serp is already out of Bobby's range. But if you want strong returns, I would pick a different target because #29 is full of empties :(

I hear Bobby is sending in-game msgs to randoms, suggesting that #265 might be an interesting target, lol

Actually Serp is totally in my range. He is trying to get me to hit him now while he is all pumped up on turrets (which I could do), but why. He has nothing on the market so I'll just wait until he sells to hit, I can wait him out heh he can't build/play without selling military.

As for you Seth, why do you start our war after I PS you 5 times. Seems kinda convenient that you start counting after the war started.

Before I PS'd you five times:
Fiscal Cliff NW: 12.9 Land: 39,500 acres
Whos Yo Daddy NW: 9.2 Land: 30,000

So it seems to me I've gained 1M NW and 2k acres (and I have a nice retal on a c/i commie) and you have lost 11k acres and some NW...

And yes notice how I jumped from 12.9M to 18M when I first hit you. I have about the same production now in all honesty...

Your only chance is to give the impression I'm about to just get swarmed and hope it's a self fulfilling prophesy.

I am? I haven't asked anyone to help me. I don't need help but clearly you do. People are hitting you because your production sucks and you won't be able to retal.

And no, you don't have the same production. You have 10k less buildings and your expenses are over 1mil higher/turn, your bpt is starting to wither away and you can't afford to rebuild anyways.

The op is correct. The war started the moment I attacked you after you farmed me and blew 2Mil of your jets.

While I would state that the war probably started when Bobby sent a warning message to Seth about his 72 hr policy, I think technically, the war started right at the 1st hit (1 of 5 PS) of the RoR.

So the OP should be updated to that.

There was a hit, and then a retal. That's not war.

a 5x PS? That's an obvious act of war... tat's definitely when the war started. man there can be dissenting opinions about ANYTHING i guess,..

In my opinion the war started when I hit back, and im not even kidding. I really believe Bobby thought he was just going to farm me and there was nothing I could do. This guy doesn't want war, he doesn't know the first thing about fighting a war which is highly apparent by his news over the last 48 hours and the spy ops he has run.

Regardless, who cares what everyone considers the start point? My point is his land and buildings and networth are tanking while his expenses shoot through the roof. He's got like 10k empties and you know he can't afford to rebuild any of that, which will continue to increase... while he holds the most spies on the server (and uses them extremely ineffectively)

As his defensive ally (at the time), I know for a fact this isn't the case. He told me he was almost positive a war was coming.

My Spal is still over 10% higher after his drop, they're not broken, his bomb structures.are equally powerful and we're both breaking about 60%, but he has much much stronger IAs. He can't keep up with me because I keep dropping land and I have more spy tech and the dict 30% bonus

I'm pretty sure Seth's SPAL pawns Bobby's and is taking him to the woodshed. Bobby is probably pumping out spies as quickly as he can but Seth has grabbed over 9k indies from him so he can hang with him per spy production.

Bobby is teaching Seth a very valuable lesson, don't mess with a dict farmer right about when military prices are tanking sub $100 and food is going up averaging $45.

In terms of built acres which seems to be the best measuring stick we are (rounding to nearest 1k, hopefully correctly)

Me: 40k-> 27k
versus
Seth: 30k->16k

I'd say I'm doing alright, but could have done much better. Especially with the mistakes I made (bombing airbases 10 times last night when his jets were not home (but were according to EEstats they were which confusese me but oh well)...)

I was hoping to not have to drop unused acres to fight this battle, but it turns out I do. I'm having fun and learning a lot about war. I don't want this to come off whiny b/c it's not, but I do think game mechanics are a bit off when I bomb structures for 200+ buildings and AB for only 45. But I'm adjusting and learning how to fight, which mainly consists of just bombing the other guys structures every 24 hours lol...

If you were smart, you wouldn't have taken out a single one of my buildings or taken an acre from me. You had the advantage,but you gave it away by shooting my spal and tech levels way up.

And no, you're not doing alright, you're getting your ass kicked. Maintaining my country is not a goal of mine, ruining your country is my goal. All you have done is make my country stronger versus yours every day

You had every advantage in the game and you blew it. Your DAs have a combined 17mil turrets, mine 2million. Your IAs probably have 2-3 million spies mine hqve under 800k

Sideline curiosity... how do you plan to maintain a country? It seems to me that both countries are slowly wilting away. Since as you've said you're the smaller guy vs Goliath, don't you think you're going to fall off first?

I mean, aren't most wars judged by being killed off?

I think you're logic is flawed, Bobby doesn't seem to give a crap about his finish anymore. He threw that out the window when he hit you 4 times.

Eestats has an error time of 2mins. News uploaded onto EEstats based on GameTime. But EEstats clock is about 2 mins faster than gametime and its independant of the news uploaded there. So whatever you see on eestats clock, just minus 3 minutes and you'll be fine. I learnt the hard way too, hitting someone at DR3 because EEstats showed me DR2. :(
