Why don't we just send the Chicago Blackhawks to play in the Winter Olympics?

Well defining amateur and professional is difficult. Track athletes get paid, I think, by participating in different leagues. Also if none of our pro guys can go then no other countries can send their pro players either. But just say we didn't send any pro players and sent college guys, wouldn't that almost be worse because it would us saying that we are too good for the rest of the world so we will send out "B" team.

Also we as Americans are competitive and don't want to lose anything :D

I would have loved to see DC fight back more organized too :P

@dlplow i do have fun and realize it is a game :D

obviously we had the networth advantage but we were not prepared at the start, like for myself at the start i had like 10 turns... so yeah... didn't go so well haha

oh and about you comment about the hpk, does that me we did good in that department or what? just wondering :P don't really have any past experience to base it off of.

U mad bro? It's a trick question, chill.

how on earth is it a trick question?

edit: order of operations and working from left to right without parenthesis should have been taught to you in like 3rd or 4th grade. still don't understand the "trick" here

What i meant by trick is that if you just glance at it without studying it you can be "tricked" into thinking it is 0 because people read from left to right, obviously it is an extremely simple problem but the point of the question is not to judge your ability in math, but to see if you actually fully read the question.

@Schilling
I agree with you. Maybe you could even have the option to steal or destroy. Like if you steal money you don't get as much as if you blow it up or something. That way if you are in a war or something you can weigh the option of destroying their money or taking it or something like that. Same could go for oil (or whatever), you could set it on fire and destroy like 10,000 barrels or steal like 5,000 barrels (for example).

Previously (like 12 years ago), spy ops could steal bushels, and other stuff. It was abused by netgainers as a non-detectable way of transferring large stockpiles (say from a rank 70 player to a rank 2 player in an attempt to reach rank 1).

So it got removed, you can no longer gain stuff by using harmful spy ops.

Don't you gain tech by doing espionage, and can't you steal oil?

One thing i have noticed is that it would be nice if when you make a trade pact that you can actually TRADE with the other person rather than sending FA. I mean if I am a Farmer for instance and my trade partner is a Techer it would be nice if I could trade Bushels with my partner for either money or Tech. This would increase the benefit of being in a clan, and wouldn't necessarily benefit really big alliances anymore because you can only have 2 trade partners. Obviously some restrictions would have to be added, like maybe you can only trade a commodity for money or another commodity or both. Also you can't trade something for no less than 80% of the current average cost of the commodity. This way both partners gain from the trade.

hmmm i guess, but it still seems like cheap to have some private farmland in your clan. i mean if the guy quits shouldn't he detag, because he will drag your average networth down. Also it doesn't seem legitimate because if someone else were to try and attack that guy, because he has quit, he would get retalled by the big dogs in the clan because he is attacking the clan. But... if someone in the clan attacks the quit player he doesn't get attacked, therefore making the land practically free...
It seems this gives the biggest clans an unfair advantage because of the likelihood of someone quitting in their clan.

Anyway don't know if that makes any sense but basically it seems that this "landtrading" is kind of cheap, no matter what the explanation is...

@marshall, he wasn't... that guy was tagged under his clan :p
both guys are from RD.

My question is assuming no one is running mulitple countries... who would run a country that is going to have its land farmed away by a teammate? I mean I would just quit playing rather than have some just take my land.

So... i was just glancing through the news of some of the top guys and i noticed that he was planned striking one of his own clan mates.... Is this normal for the guys who have like 50k+ plus acres? Isn't that kind of cheating..... ?

Just curious what people think of guys attacking other guys in their clan to gain land.

who? Trout or fluffey? Trouts a rookie and fluffey has played for a bunch of teams, including Seattle.
Or are you talking about Gonzalez? Because I have never heard of him before... so either he wasn't that good or I just missed his name.

@ Son Goku yeah your probably right but still.... that is an interesting name haha

@Boltar I am a football fan as well, I assume you are talking about the NFL or College, Seattle is my team. Pretty excited about this upcoming year. But I call myself a sports fan as I follow a bunch of sports :D

Maybe one of the reasons is that they faced 6 of the best pitchers in all of baseball in Cain, Strasburgh, fluffey, Kershaw, Kimbrel and Chapman.

@ mrford yeah Chipper is one of the class acts of all time. Hard to believe he was selected to so few All-Star games, I think in his like 20 year career he was only selected like 8 times.

@Boltar yeah he did, I think he might have gotten a hit. Harper played too, youngest player ever in the all-star game.

haha don't know if they will make it that far this year but they have a solid base. They definitely lucked out with their last two #1 draft picks. My mariners could have had strasburgh but went out and won their last like 7 out of 10 smh :(. They lose when they should win and win when they should lose haha.

So it has nothing to do with the amount of attacking units? For example if I were to attack a country which has only 1 million turrets, and nothing else, with 2 million jets I would get the same amount of stuff if I attacked with 5 million jets?

Does anyone know how the resources taken by a successful attack are calculated? Does it have to do with the difference in attacking units versus defending units or is the only factor the tech military strategy?

Maybe having a couple different background pictures corresponding to the goverment would be nice. Or having some sort of pop up picture when builiding stuff, like buildings or military units. Or maybe stating like how many hit points or whatever a tank has compared to a turret compared to a troop compared to a jet. Anyway just a couple thoughts :D
