tduong, I wouldn't call the rep casher retarded. In the incident between him and Rockman, I look at it pretty much the opposite way in fact.
The rep casher: Finished with 73m nw even after Rockman dropped him by *14,500* land. Very likely would have broken up the commie top six if not for Rockman, and still made the top ten.
Rockman: Had a temper tantrum against a guy over a single tap, then appears to have quit. He just can't handle being attacked.
If you look at the rep casher's news, you'll see Riverbend profited over 6000 acres at his expense just two days earlier in a land trade. It looks to me the rep casher zeroed in on the fattest guy in the game in an attempt to do a similar land trade himself, but that player lost his fluff.
that's exactly my point.
1. General rule as a republic is that if you want to gain land, you just don't want to hit a dictator at same or above net because it's too easy for them to retal. with 39mil jets. He could've PS 3 countries in the top 100 at that time and gained ~4k land without facing retals.
2. Viva double tapped the same day that rep did. Almost like they planned it. I have no proof so i don't know. Rockman has every right to be pissed. I know i would.
3. If these events didn't occur I'm sure rockamn would've been #1 or 2 easily with the money he was making he had already stocked for 10 days before he got hit. Even if he didn't rebuild after those hits and just hit the cash button for 300 turns, he would've easily passed 80m net with ease(more towards 85-90m net finish)
Yes i agree about his tantrum lol. He should've just finished. If i sound like i'm arguing, i'm not. It's just a debate and speculation on my part. Of course, none of us would know what could actually happened if...
I pretty much say the cashers destroyed their own finishes lol.
