Tmac's milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

I financially support this game; what do you do?

If tmac was the farmer then he deserved the hit and Terry's sacrifice was for us all.

Without me, you wouldn't even have food, lol. I've been stocking for a week. You'll have to count on the techers to start jumping.

Seems to me that the Industrialist, the Techer, and the Farmer are all better strategies than the Casher on this server

I picked wrong and I'll have to try something else next round

The obvious best strategy this set was Farmer

Casher has posted some of the biggest finishes here.

I think the problem is how the techers stock. There's enough food being produced for sure, especially since every sentient Indy will have converted to enough farms to produce a food surplus by now.

With 850ish turns left, and less so even for a techer who will probably not take turns last day, it's actually better to stock troops than bushels at these prices. More so if he has some expenses bonuses and good mil tech.

I can't know what your country looks like, I have not spied it, and even if I did I wouldnt know about your bonuses etc. But assuming you have near max mil tech, and you know how to stock troops on the market in order to eat less food it is either viable as an option or the obvious choice depending on your expenses bonus and how much you will eventually get for your food when you destock it.

Interesting, maybe just this round is bad for casher then.

I think spending all your bonus points on expenses is definitely the way to go

You sold 2,222,222 Bushels for $156,666,651.
5,428,651 Bushels remain for sale.

It doesn't matter how high I place it, still selling every day consistently, buy low....sell high...

Considering Rep Cashers have probably won more sets then all other strats combined, that’s not really an accurate statement.

Surely #22 has to be favourite for the win: the land, consistently high food price, high oil price...... will be interesting to see if anyone can beat that.

To be fair it was more expecting a possible retal and watching the networth growing, though seeing this certainly kept the possibility on the radar longer than might have otherwise been

If played correctly, I can’t see how 22 can lose given the prices this set. Otherwise, Farmer strat should be scrapped if aiming for the top spot.

Surely some of you are going to destock and lower the food price soon?

I enjoyed announcing my retals in the past, I always got an extra enjoyment out of watching them run, best part was I still got my retal in, nothing more satisfying than telling someone what you're going to do and then actually doing it. 😆

I announced my retal to #1 and he replied with:

Message from Lets go Brandon (#1) sent on Dec 24, 15:00
Report this message
Thanks for the heads up...

And he hit me again and voided GDI. You can imagine what I will do in retaliation. Btw my little country is barely 800 turns old so i am barely getting started here on my first set of Wild West primary

lol it’s not a problem to announce that I am here now. My usual country name of I R WoG SuperFly is my advertising. Just didn’t use it this time as I started with 20 days to end of set. But I think most assumed id make an appearance here after the express fluff show :)

I already made 2 friends here that I need to pay back next set so I do enjoy the fact that next set I’ll start at the same time as all of you and it will be me doing the farming. Good thing farming and targeting are allowed, encouraged and celebrated here right Gerdler?

Military sanctions apply here just the same as any solo server. You know farming is fine and griefing is not. Just join the community and play normal bro, meaning that you give a crap about your country. I'd be happy if you added another good player to the server.

He is just trying desperatly to find a gray area so that he can piss people off and waste their sets without actually getting sanctioned. He used to play primary, was always mediocre iirc, but I don't remember him getting into much trouble here.

Everyone understands there is no similarity between you farming players who have all the resources to destroy you the moment they log in and you playing a late-start landfarm and getting farmed on primary without retalling.

The entire purpose of the game is to get the highest nw. When you war, you try to outnet your opponent. The winner is the one with the most nw. We're all "netters." 😃
