HEH.. 87.5 MILLION JET RETAL?

PERHAPS SOMEONE IS GOING TO RETAL THE ENTIRE TOP 10 ALL AT ONCE.

OR MAYBE SOMEONE IS JUST TRYING TO CRASH NEXT RESET'S OIL MARKET BY GETTING 100 PLAYERS TO GO OILER :)

3.5m oil can service 87.5m jets. That is enough jets to retal anyone 5 to 10 times over with leftovers.

So, my guess is that it is probably not for a big retal.

Or, he wanted to buy 350k oil (for 8.75m jets) and added one too many zeros.

I run #48.

Figured that LATC is going to win the set anyway, so any set back (a huge retal or bunch of missiles) will stop me from playing any further. 2ndly, I'm serving the army for these 2 weeks, no time to play my country, my last login was like on Monday.

I could jumped out of range easily, but I didnt, its a risk I took and I paid for it. I risked it because so many people multi tapped him but he didnt do anything, I probably went overboard with the farming, but well,there's always next set.. if my interest for this game doesnt die off. I dropped from 5 servers to 2 servers within the last 3 months.

I was hoping LATC would hit me in these 3 days since I dropped my allies 3 days ago so I can retal him or even suicide him, haha, unfortunately, not a single hit on me. and it would be such a fluff move to just suicide him for no reason. haha.

He actually was spying me but no grab. I've never hit a 65k country before, would have been fun to do.

Well now that cat's outta the bag, blid were you the one w/ a lot of cash and like 50m food on hand the day I op'ed? That was soooooooo tempting.. I sat there for like 5 mins just staring at the op, but then I crunched some #'s, wasn't worth it.

Sounds about right. Considering if I sold my stock I could buy 75,000,000 jets, moving on was probably the right move.

There's really no point for techers to continue netting. If you see what Aldri gi opp did to X, yeah, why not. Money has already been lost (for me at least) in stocking food, and public market destock prices look awful, and, of course, tech has been selling for $1400 for the past couple weeks.

You can blame LATC for that. The moment he converts his 20k rigs into farms, food was going to drop, and this will definitely happen before any techers jump. Aldri gi opp (I know who he is) also did a "mini jump" around the same time.

Hint: It's the country with the second most land. The margin will be proportionate to their land size, since both are (or will be) farmers.

Cool let's keep having demo farmers win every reset by a landslide :)

Last 3 completed resets had the top two be demo (and probably farmers)
This set it will most likely happen again.

So what has changed since the last update that made it so?

yea, guys I'm out. This set is done after getting hit by an accident double tap again. I'm honestly too busy to play right now (part of mistakes...not trying to make excuses tho). I'll check back in every once and a while, but I'm thinking this it might be a while til I'm back for a nostalgia set.

Primary has been a lot of fun the last 2 years or so. Nice little community here and the gameplay is really nice with GDI protection. =)

I'm a bit on the fence about whether farming inactive players is considered "abuse". I mean, they are inactive, and it isn't violating any rule. Ethically though, it's awfully close (but not quite) like farming a friend for free. Does anybody else think the same way?

It's even more dubious to me in the sense that Cable fluffed quite a bit on the forums about getting reinstated (made a thread), but then decided not to play after being reinstated.

I think it's fine. It's up to players to realize someone is inactive and it's also a risk that they come back and flatten you out of nowhere. #74 realized it first and got rewarded for it.

It's a bit unbalancing when one person gets the huge land, but unless they were privately tipped it's fair game.

As Cable's other ex-DA, I sent him a PM as soon as I saw he'd been reinstated. It's still unread. I think he really is taking a hiatus and doesn't even know he was reinstated.

Yeah, he attacked a country about twice his NW. In terms of % land returns, it is equivalent % land returns to attacking a country half his size. You get maximum returns at 95%-100% matching NW.
