I’m not banned btw. It seems your tin foil hats are very well insulated tho. I believe my post was appropriately deleted.

I’ll say again in a way the mods accept this time, if I were one, I’d do a better job about attacking radicalism and racism in this community than I would its mentally ill players. I only mean to say a lot of us who play this game are susceptible because numbers are cool and us diagnosed idiots happen to listen harder than you think.

Everytime I say that here tho, I of course know I’m not talking to a community that’s making any effort to be inclusive tho, so it is what it is????

A veteran of the US military just terrorist attacked the people of NOLA because people ARE IN FACT susceptible to radicalization. But sure, it will be typical of this community to try to kill the voices who say so and elevate the voices that ordinarily, to the outside world, would be deemed disgusting and horrible.

I know I’m not fighting a winning fight. Only one that occasionally makes people say maybe not, maybe I’m better than that, and maybe we shouldn’t do it. And that we’d probably have a more robust community that includes people like Derrick spending money on the game again if we simply do a better job as a community to be inclusive.

Also leave me alone if you don’t want me to say so…just call me when it—-if it—-changes.

I saw a picture of a bald eagle in a dumpster today that appeared to be screaming at the heavens. And as an American, I knew it was 2025. Happy new years y’all!

It’s something close to 29 ops in 72 hours where you really notice spy dr in 1a and harmful stacking seems to work the same way. It gets worse as you go on.

Also, AT seems way cooler than when I left. Y’all have done such an awesome job curating an inclusive community for 2025 and I’m so proud of you guys.

/s

I think there’s a day you relegate yourself to these threads as well, req. I don’t think you tolerate in life what you tolerate in this game and I think that’s a choice you’ll make one day and find yourself here talking to me. Bless you bro.

Go Tigers!
Go Phillies!

What’s it like rooting for the worst team in the MLB since 1899?

*waves*

Needed something out of my inbox here to answer a question I was asked and noticed no one answered a question I’ve had the answer to for years. I’ll take it not getting answered and people actively testing it to mean that the good guys won the war and LaF is dead haha.

Best thing I saw all day yesterday was you still kicking around, KoH. Way to kick cancer’s butt.

Troops: (PMStartingUnits*(0.985^TurnsLoggedOut)+(3*Land*TurnsLoggedOut))
Jets & Turrets: (PMStartingUnits*(0.985^TurnsLoggedOut)+(2.5*Land*TurnsLoggedOut))
Tanks: ((PMStartingUnits*(0.985^TurnsLoggedOut)+(1*Land*TurnsLoggedOut))

The factor of TurnsLoggedOut is always 1 if you are logged into your country, and I believe it hits a cap at the maximum turns (not counting stored) on the server. In other words, on a 120 turn server, if you logged out for 120 turns, you log into your market at “maximum” and it slowly diminishes as turns tick to a mean.

Conversely, if you are logged into your country and buy out your market, a turn tick will increase your PM but will be slower to reach the mean than if you were logged in. Logging out for 120 turns from zero market essentially gets you to about 92% of your “maximum” market from the mean, and the mean is about 51% of the maximum.

I’ve been retired a while and never really played express, but for sure on teams which was a 160 turn server you could increase your market with a logout further, to almost 2.5x of your mean. Theoretically, a 360 turn logout in express could increase your PM by over 5x over your mean if it’s not capped, but I never had any interest in testing it there.

…When I left, Cath started sounding so much like me I realized how foolish I’d been. Sorta wish coalie would quit texting me to say so but I digress.

Cut it out bud. I promise it’s not helpful.

Also this is my only post so don’t fight me, I’ll have nothing else to say. Just that you look as stupid as me and I hope it’s as non-fun for you as it was for me. Good luck bud, you’re a good player I respected once.

Fun fact.

Most of pang’s formulas for the game are not based in round() functions. They are based in trunc(). I believe it’s because he has a lot of junc in his trunc.

Lol gonz, if you want me to explain how swingers swing, I guess I will.

My most recent STI test was last Monday, and despite having over 40 sexual partners in my life, including multiple people at one time, I still don’t have HPV or Herps, let alone the other things. I’m pretty safe about it, and I’ve been her only sexual partner since the last time she was tested. You’re correct about the responsibility that lies there. It’s worth noting STI tests are free in most cities, and being safe is not something to be ashamed of. Kudos on that point.

We like each other’s friends a good amount, but obviously don’t involve ourselves too much in those peoples lives unless we become really tight friends, which can happen, and has happened to me with a previous partner that also swung.

For the second paragraph of questions, my “share of the action” very much suits my lifestyle. We probably wake up together roughly 4 days a week and much of the other 3 is spent alone, with occasional fun nights out with pals that generally end solo. But in the event they don’t, there’s a generally assumed STI test/condom rule that’s been discussed. She’s an 8am-4pm worker and I am a 4pm-midnight guy. My days off are her busiest work days. Put frankly, I value the days I sleep in my bed over the days I sleep in hers. It generally makes my next day more difficult when I stay with her and I tend to stay there because she has a dog. I avoid it typically unless I’m feeling lonely, sad or horny, or we’d planned a cute date or shooting pool together haha. She’s a shark.

Any further questions?

I had b games in tourney where I did every strat in multiple sets. I think it went like Indy start, casher mid and farmer oiler finish with a hybrid destock (mbr was only technical). I did them one at a time tho and never all at once. I did win B or C games with it but obviously got trashed as an A gamer because of the slow moving parts against land hungry vets.

Point is, you can actually make it work.

Lol gal. I’ve played that game since it was called Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars. I’m low key quite good at it, and sort of unfortunately it’s the only game I play now. You’ll see me on discord for that reason frequently lol. They have pretty solid standards for appropriate behavior in the communities I run with, and I enjoy some drunk rocket cars. Get on there some time and run em with me. Lol

Yeah, I’ll be honest. Even just having a strong pull out game has been a fairly solid contraceptive. In my position and with my lifestyle tho, it’s the right call. Sorry mom. Lol
