You know a funny thought I just had, given food prices this set, if we had both netted out you probably would have ended up beating me.

I probably would have won this set and set all time records if I netted. I was the largest farmer at the point you farmed me and was continuing to grow quickly... But I wasn't netting even if I didn't fight you, so that point is moot.

And yes, you wouldn't have finished top 10, this is a horrible set for CIs.

CIs still will finish in the top ten even if it's a bad set for them.

You were not the biggest farmer because you were small enough that you were being grabbed... other farmers weren't. After you retaled Bobby on 2/2 you had 30k land which was still smaller than Awesome 2013 (31k) and AustAgder (32k) and they were surely way more built up and teched because 10,500 of those 30k acres of yours had come in retals over the last three days.

I was 100% built up, my bpt was about 115 and my agr tech was about 200%. I also did building cost bonuses and I was already -40% costs. I don't know who these other farmers are but I'm a better netter than them because I'm a better netter than everyone when I choose to net, even on a server I know nothing about and haven't played since like 1998.

If I was netting, I'd be a 60k+ farmer right now, with smooth sailing to new all time records, I have no doubt about that at all.

However, like I said the point is moot cuz im not netting, nor would I have been under any circumstances. If it wasn't going to be Bobby it was either Crest of Gogy I was going to be fighting. I realized I was throwing away an easy top 10 set before I began fighting, but I didn't care. All I wanted to do was beat up a helpless little boy, which I accomplished :)

That being said I will not be impressed if AustAgder (#210) doesn't set the all time NW record.

Building cost bonuses? That's not a good bonus... If the other ones did corruption or expenses they had a huge leg up. If you were 60k land also food prices would probably be $15 cheaper or something, heh.

Food would be a little cheaper but not much, and in actuality I think I would be closer to 80k land. I think my building cost bonus would be about -60% or so by now if I had continued, making it dirt cheap to build and farm the top 50.

Anyways I'm not going to argue with you of what could have been since I didn't net nor would I have. Let's just see if AustAgder (#210) can blow away previous records.

And I disagree, if used properly I think the building cost bonus is the best bonus for anyone trying to get to 100k land, switching to food booms at the ideal point.

Tits, the land record on this server is 87k, set by Aqua last reset (Rep casher). I hold the second most land record, also set last reset at 86k (when I won)(Rep casher).

hao2 (Rep casher) and tduong (Dict casher) hold the next 2 spots at 85k 3 resets and 6 resets ago.

So are you saying because no one has gotten to 100k land that I can't do it if I try to?

I guarantee a good player could do it as a farmer when they're -70% buildings costs with $60+ bushels, cheap tech, and cheap military.

And in that situation $200mil is realistic. Records are made to be broken, thanks for pointing out those previous ones Xin, I find them to be weak. Go break them :P

Tits, I'm not saying you can't do it. I'm explaining why blid is skeptical.

Breaking the current 87k record isn't hard. I mean, if you just keep grabbing till end of the reset and not actually do a NW jump, I think 120k land is more than doable without double tapping anyone, more if you just farm someone.

Of course, having $75 bushels helps a ton... Food average prices has never crossed the $65 boundary before on Primary.

(Food usually averages $45 on primary fyi, and rarely go above 50-55, since you probably haven't played this server before this reset if I read it correctly. I think it hasn't even reached $60 more than twice in the last 1.5 years. My point is that records are usually broken only during resets with exception/unusual market conditions.)

This was the set to be a dict farmer with a building cost bonus and destroy all previous records. I picked it right on pure luck, if only I wanted to net :/

Beating 100k land would be very doable but I wouldn't expect it from someone trying to maximize networth. I think having 80k land right now is kind of absurd considering the other farmers had more land than you at the time of your war and they're 20-25k land below that.

They had what, 1-2k more land then me? I was a dict with probably a better bpt, equal or better tech levels, and a land building cost expense bonus. There is nothing absurd about that

Not kidding, i requested a CF and he accepted.

Im not sure if he's just messing with me or not but I'm dead serious about the CF.

If he's just tricking me to build up for a week or so then hit me again so be it, I probably wouldn't even fight back :P
