I'm idling in IRC.

the public market goods was empty at the last minute and the tech market was 3k a piece per tech so 40b/1500$/nw = 27m additional jump. Wouldn't have mattered :P

thanks vic. hope there's no hard feelings... sorry about the deception. had to make you feel safe ... otherwise the rd t10's coulda counter aided you over me heh

first, i had no idea when he detagged nor when he dropped d. i wouldve probably waited for my full 40 hr before hitting him but yes i would still have farmed him later on had he not dropped d. keep in mind i sacrificed 16 hr worth of stocking turns to grab him. at my production, that was 48 turns x 1m bushels a turn = 48m bushels of stock which is worth over a billion dollars. From the hitting i gained pm regen at the expense of additional stocking turns so the final nw gain isnt as much as you estimate.

regarding the topfeed, it's not my problem if someone chooses to topfeed and pumps d to try to outrun retals. if you were me, what would you do? let him off with land:land given how costly it would've been to retal? you'd be getting as much as you can, especially given that youre going for the win which is what i did.

ershow, if i had it my way we'd all be playing solo. i still think i wouldve edged you out though so i dont feel too bad about accepting aid to get the win. the rightful finish shoulda be me at 1 with 240m finish and you at 2 at your current 230m finish.

With respect to the detagged farming, I want to specifically clear something up. So the events occurred as follows:

1. inactive country is detagged not by me and is broadcasted out to laf members that he is untagged.
2. I find out about a half hour later that he is untagged as I had just woken up and did not know it happened. 30 min by any means is plenty of time for others to act on the detagger, laf or not. If detaggers were intentionally detagged for farming, they wouldve been immediately farmed. In addition, at the time, i was on hour 24 of my 40 hr logout. After doing the calculations, I opted to hit the country, giving up my 16 hr worth of additional stocking turns.

If you look at my country news you'll see that it checks out. So from my perspective, I made an ingame decision based on something out of my control. the said detagger could've been from any alliance and I would've made the same move. For sure, had the detagger been intended for me only, I would definitely have waited for my 40 hr and then detagged him myself to maximize stocking turns and maximize land instead of making this suboptimal move.

removing the eos FA and removing the detagger farming, I calculated myself to finish 230-240m nw by my math. Probably closer to 230 given that I had eaten a nuke. regardless, even after eating the nuke, my finish wouldn't have been altered by that much. You would have to subtract the pm regen from that farming but also would have to add back 16 hr worth of stocking turns to get my pure clean finish.

Clean adjusted I would have beaten ershow by 10-20m. Vic's second place finish would also need to be adjusted. He would've legitly finished probably somewhere in 5-10 rank, somewhere close to Herbs's country.

Congrats to pele for your FFA win:) delitez finally made wins without illegal multi FA chains :D

Thanks guys- it was a tough set but I'm glad to have pulled through the win. I'd like to thank all those who've helped me with strat and market advice and my competitors who kept me pushing hard. Ershow it was good bantering with you ingame and I hope to see you on the dr camping field next set. Vic, no hard feelings. You played a great set, your stocking and market play was insane, and your country was definitely the one I kept an eye on most for the majority of the set.

I'm gonna say 180m. Have a few theo private jumpers who should get above at current nw.

but he'd catch a grenade for you and step in front of a train for you

from laf perspective, there was very limited aid sent through the war. most of it was in reaction to the aid sent by md, pdm, and whoever else aided. we stopped once we felt the fa sent was on equal footing. overall, i would say sem allies sent more aid than sof/rival allies.

as for laf hitting evo, tella you need to just listen to me. you and evo live longer that way instead of getting killed needlessly set after set.

sign me up. I'm disgruntled with laf and i make a good spy.

lol you guys got off way easy. I dropped 20k :P

Any accidental 4 tap, which this case was, would've been resolved equitably on a special case basis. If I were rage, I'd probably take some multiple of land:land or escalating retals and call it a day. Somehow Rage is willing to escalate a 400 acre issue into potential war. Seems dumb to me.

Smaller alliances need to:

1.) Do more due diligence when coming up with their own retal policies so as to make it consistent with server accepted rules.

2.) Be more flexible when special cases arise.

3.) Understand the number 1 goal is to survive and grow as an alliance rather than try to enforce unrealistic principles.

Not doing the above will basically get your alliance killed when conflicts escalate. You can attempt to war 1-2 sets to enforce your ridiculous policies but see where you end up after repeated beatdowns, because any alliance that matters would war you over unreasonable policies.

It just boggles my mind how much small alliances swing their fluffs around thinking they're king of the universe.

These hits were made after the 48 hr retal window specified by LaF policy. Rage has some weird policy where 24 hr window is added to each hit after 1 hit to extend the window. A 4 tap would have a retal window of a whopping 48 + 72 = 120 hrs.

LaF welcomes new alliances back to the game, but we will not accept unreasonable retal policies, especially considering most reputable alliances would allow an accidental 4 tap over a couple hundred acres to be addressed reasonably. Rage decided to get multiples of land back within 48 hr while going for even more with their ridiculous retal policy.

I'm practicing my meepo. Fear the MAT!

Confirmed- as long as you leave our originals alone.

i'm picturing testicles on your chest

omg it's tisya

KJ only brags about his 9.5" because he loops it around back and fluffs himself with it.

no worries archaic, I sorted things out with auspiggy earlier

Sheep was a friendly pal, happy go-lucky, and full of joy in life. It was unfortunate that he crossed over to the wrong side of the railroad tracks and did not wear the proper gang colors. This morning he was found lying facedown in the deep recesses of an alley, in a pool of his own blood, with a sign on his back that said, "Looks like we got the last LaF"

RIP Sheepy :( As you move on to the fluffy sheep heaven, may you frolick again in the sunny meadows, nibble at the blooming dandelions, and bah and meh with the 70 virgin sheep that await you.
