Noo, Xinhuan is an Alliance spy! He just said all changes should be made around Alliance!

You said it "makes sense," and you have definitely said it "should" before to me. even though Primary is your favorite server. betrayer! :)

I agree, Xinhuan for president! I mean admin!

no i don't play alliance either blid... i much prefer solo play.

i would support the establishment of a consultative panel of players from the solo servers to input to future proposed developments, before they are implemented. the current changes are a strong example of why this is required. and yes, xinhuan should be president!

That's a great idea afaik. It sucks when plans are made around one server that probably won't even matter that much, yet the side effects to the other servers are huge yet ignored.

We have Alliance members playing Primary who message countries to come join their clan and play on Alliance.

But do we have any Primary players in Alliance who message people to come test their skills in Primary?

Other than Earth Empires I also play Battlefield games:

The only interest alliance people showed in playing here was to gang up and do kill runs on solo players. I thoroughly enjoyed deleting them back in the days of "spirit of the rules".

Besides, why would anyone want to play on a server where you can't landtrade?

Is it not practical to keep Primary as it is while Alliance is changed to whatever is deemed fit?

I think it's definitely possible. Alliance and express are the 2 servers which have the new changes implemented. The rest are still running on the old rules.

btw top 5 predictions (a little ez this set):

Laughter in Manslaughter
Mr Perfectz
Passion Fruit Cheesecake
fearvendor (Isn't this guy normally LG'd midset most sets?)
Narcsissistic (what a great set!)

Laughter has a great chance at breaking the previous NW record of 165M. But that will depend on food, and I'm already surprised food seems to actually be moving up a bit.

I think you're leaning too heavily into the casher scores. I'd say:

1) Laughter
2) Perfectz
3) Narcissistic

It's gonna be tight for the top spot.

One thing that may actually hurt cashers is that there aren't many midfeed targets that are cashers like in previous sets. It's not that big of a deal just some extra destroying and rebuilding.

But I agree with Bobby that this is the best Casher set we have seen and if the top two finish well there could be records. They both seem to be in line or ahead of Oldman's casher from a couple of sets ago.

1)Perfectz
2)Laughter
3)Narcissistic

The next 7 will be
3 More cashers (Fear, Passion, Cake)
3 More Indies (up for grabs)
1 Farmer (Primary Cause)

I have seen a ton of OA's this set. Many more then previous sets. I have passed by a lot of targets that have minimal defense but 3 good OA's. You just can't defend yourself against 3 OAs and a country that will go all jets.

I didn't see the 2nd farmer. I believe you are correct with the exception of 2 techers. I don't see how more then 1 can make it. And even the best techer I think will struggle to pass some of the commies.

4 cashers, 4 commies, 2 farmers.

attacks like that are strictly sabotage. There is nothing for the attacker to gain and it'll cost 5m+ NW to rebuild the acres the attacker will lose on the retal.

I think the attack was a real fluff move and I don't condone it. But, the attack did net 5k acres ish in the end. Yes the rebuild costs will be huge, but 5k acres is about 3 days grabbing right now at the rates most of us c/i are growing. I would have to see the math before I was convinced the attack wasn't beneficial

Rebuild costs are about $250-300 million, not that bad I think and the cost of jets and oil were less than if I had to bottomfeed those 5k acres. And targets are getting scarce leading to me to bottomfeed targets that can potentially retal like one already did. I know that mathematically or cost-wise it makes more sense to bottomfeed but the lack of targets made me try out this topfeeding thing.
Am I a total fluffhead for topfeeding someone who's having such an amazing set? Well.. yes, I won't deny that. But it wasn't done to sabotage, it was done to benefit myself.

this ain't alliance server remember. You're not entitled to a retal. he can LG him back if he feels like he can enforce it. I'm sure he'll have to withstand an ABing and spy battle though to do so. ;-)

My point is it wasn't an LG b/c AM could easily retal 184. 184 is trying to take advantage of the threat that doing so could open AM up to potential war.

Agreed.

I hate this "Retal" argument. So you're saying that if you PS someone and they don't PS you back within 72 hrs or so that they aren't allowed to PS your country for the remainder of the set? You instigate and expect them to respect that? You have no tag protecting you, and hitting them twice is enough of a disrespect to warrant what you get in return.

Each country is allowed to hit each other once per set under the GDI rules without letting yourself get f'd up. There's no rule stating that if you hit him early that he can't hit you late if you are a viable target. If you're in GDI then follow GDI rules not Alliance server rules.

This is coming from one of the biggest LGers on the server remember.

Yeah. I personally might take exception to a hit like that, I might consider it a grab and might retal. But if the guy is 5m nw bigger than me, maybe not.

I agree with you Serp. As the aggressor why are you entitled to keep the land after 72 hours? Based on the GDI rules and rules of primary wouldn't it be smart for me to retal when it's most optimal for me? I mean you (top players in general) grab ppl 1/4 your size because it's optimal for you in thinking they can't retal you. As the person who got hit, why do I have to retal on your schedule. If I can get as much land as you get an entire reset on 7 retals, why shouldn't I? Because it's not fair to the aggressor? Etiquette? Theres no etiquette or fairness in hitting someone 1/4 your size.

I see top countries who grab me who are fat, have no tanks, no SDI, low turret count. I'm going to retal that all day whenever I want. And if you have a problem with that, my tanks and missile cache would love to hear from you again. You don't want me to retal you because you want to net? Eff you, I want to net too, but you hit me first.
