It's funny there are supposedly so many gechers playing but nobody seems to want to ally with the best.

It's okay, there are only 2 groups of players in this game: allies, and potential targets. See you on the battlefield.

Arranged alliances outside of the game is illegal collusion. Ban them all.

I had just ran turns selling all of my food on private. I'll have something out there later today, hopefully a bit under whatever price that demo is going to try to resell for.

That demo isnt reselling the food, he is recycling it. You wanna price your food a bit above his private market price, he will clean out what is below, the regular food consumers(cashers, indies, techers) will buy it from you and you get more money for it.

Why do folks sell food for 32-33 on the public market in the first place?

Unless you’re a Theo (which would be weird) you may as well sell on your PM at those prices

Each strategy has a different need for tech. Casher, Farmer, Indy, Oiler in order from most tech needy, to least. So it stands to reason that a tech start casher would benefit more than a tech start CI. On primary tech start also slows down growth to make it less likely to become an early target and increasing the returns you will get when grabbing. For example if you start grabbing on day 10 you may get 300 acres from a target. On day 14 that same target may yield 500 acres. You also have access to a lower NW range of targets which over the course of the set may expand your overall attack pool. So if you don't tech start you may save 60 to 100 turns throughout the set, but you have to overcome those difficulties.

Clearly LB is very successful every set with an indy tech start. I don't think that has to do with the start. I think he is a very good player that grabs well. Any start can be made viable if you find the right targets and can balance defense and tech throughout the growth phase.

Yeah, for CI, neither tech start or no tech start is better then the other, it all comes down to pesonal preference. I've gotten decent enough finishes without it but personally prefer to do a tech start, so thats what I do. But arguably, no tech start may be better, I'm pretty sure Serp didn't do tech starts and he has by far the best commie finishes on this server, but if he did do one, I'm sure it would be just as good.

Oh yea Serp was the man, his commies were awesome. This one does look like he tech started, or at least he stayed at 3800 acres for quite a while.

It comes down to the ecosystem of any particular round. If the round is low on techers, a tech start may be best.

#5 has been around for a while but isn't the type to learn what's most effective, and it looks like he's purposefully taking a more aggressive style this set, which does not seem like it is going to end well for him...

Plough Monday falls on the first Monday after the twelfth night of Christmas, which is also the night of the Epiphany. It marks the beginning of the English agricultural year and when ploughmen traditionally returned to the fields to prepare the Spring crops.

This year Plough Monday is January 9th, and also coincidentally the last day of the current round of Primary
