Apple Cider wins by prob a good 15M.

The rest of the top 5 is 4 of these 6 countries:
Coltane, Dokai Weaver, Homo Homini, Shev, Planetary and Midkemia.

If I'm forced to guess drop Shev and Coltane...I think 2nd-6th/7th could be all within 10M of each other altho sometimes people are surprisingly bad at stocking/destocking...

i like homo homini lupus as a phrase..

i know homo and lupus off hand (canis lupus familiaris, puppy dog!) and then homoni i had to go look up because i didn't know.

Apple Cider shouldn't win unless everyone else has really poor stocks.

You forgot my country Bobby (which you don't know I think), and my farmer is making more than you're casher I suppose (now I remember the country name you use)

And Mr Buttman, I don't think Dokai weaver will win. commie are seeling at 110/turrets since a long time

I'd guess around 130m top spot... Dunno if I can expect to get there myself though so it depends how well everyone else does.

I'm liking my guess for top 5. Think I should get 4/5 if not 5/5 correct. Liking less picking Reroll to win tho:P. Afaik again??

I would have guessed only 110M for top spot, but if afaik says 130M, I'll listen to him seeing as he'll probably be the guy in the top spot heh

3 days to go and they havent got to 100M. does the NW increase relatively higher in the last few hours like in the express server? im curious.

Jul 1st 2011, 3:13:04

my guess of 130 was based on this projection:
"Apple Cider wins by prob a good 15M"

I'd also expected homini to be way ahead of everyone (he's not been topfed all set so should have winning potential).. it's still pretty open I think.

i think it's pretty obvious which country is afaik's by now. i had it pegged over a month ago :P

there's no way anyone beats afaik because apparently no one else knows how to destock properly

Yes I am playing dokai elme, it's no secret I've been asking around for allies all set.

And that's not entirely correct bakku, I know reroll and jedioda are both capable of excellent destocks. I think you write them off too easily... but we'll see soon enough.

I know of a 2-3 countries that were heading towards 80-130M N/W type finishes, but ran into some suicider top issues.

I think that's the most important skill, when not in GDI
is avoiding suiciders.

Z is #1

if ur not in GDI and ur in the top 10 den ur inviting suiciders to atack u. remember that suiciders can still atack u if ur not in GDI so its realy risky if u dont put a G on it. ;)

Thanks.
Unfortunatly you coulnd't finish 1st, so my original bet was not correct ....
And congrats to afaik who said 130 will 15 over his own finish.

For my part I could have finish with a better NW (still 4th), but I sold 5 millions tanks on private instead of bushels yesterday....!!!!!! (playing from iphone)

wow didn't expect that result, good finish to the t10 (a close t5 as well). I misjudged my destock by a longshot.

@ elmer, the idea is to not buy until your expenses / production, is higher than your pm purchase price (or as close as you can get to the price border before you purchase)

@jedi, was elmer not homini? (I assumed from his post that it was him but could be wrong?)

@bakku, I avoid pre-arranged alliances in solo servers, although it cost me this set. if you happen to find/offer me ingame before I've found someone then I'd happily accept your offer.

i was playing Homo Homini Lupus.

my mind is still blown. How can afaik get 30M NW more than me with approximately the same amount of land?

and yes, i didn't buy from the private market until the very end.

i'm doing some things fundamentally wrong, i guess.

congrats to all in top 5

He probably got his tech levels where he needed them sooner, and stocked at the right point.

I made a slight error in letting my land get too far ahead of my tech levels early on. After a couple of top feeds I was forced to spend a few says recovering techs, but probably was too far behind by that point.
