I'll donate one dollar.

Evo just do everyone in Alliance a favor and send Josey reps with the understanding that these reps are a bribe to buy josey's silence so he can shut the fluff up. I'll chip in.

Stomping around screaming at the sky about betrayal of a peace treaty and being peaceful netters. All during a war when you are allied and providing aid to their enemy?
You word is garbage. Nobody trusted you. And rightly so.

Even sent rick a message asking him if he lost his mind

I can assure everyone that it ain’t me but I am excited to see who it is at end if set.

You all better expose the perpetrators at end of set!

I am #476, you are more than welcome to kill me if you can.

To be honest at this point I suspect that multiple people are doing harmful ops on you. Complaining about it on AT only makes you more likely to be a victim of it.

I will let you know this Josey:
Don't let a friend join in a KR here.
No no rule ;)

You all do realize that if you wait till end of set you can see who actually is responsible for the spy ops right ?

So you're admitting to having war built countries?

Easy enough information to assume given your track record over the last couple of sets without needing spyops to confirm 🤷‍♂️

I'm not disputing those facts.

What I AM saying, is that throwing allegations out about who may or may not be behind it, without proof, will not end well for you, especially as it has repeatedly not worked out for you this set so far.

Is this like the "it's definitely g0nz0 who's doing the spying"
Or that it was "definitely superfly" doing the spy ops?
See a lot of accusations that keep not bearing out so far.

Josey slipped into her little black dress. Tryna seduce Ugo to joining the suicide squad over in alliance. Hope they aren't planning anything nefarious with a team of war built countries.

So I understand what you wanted to do with the AB everyone that hits you method, I used to totally subscribe to that. It was affectionately known as "Nostra Tourney fluff" to everyone else in LCN (RIP) that played the same, and there is still definitely a place for it - Tournament! It doesn't really work in express though, and I think thats right because taken to its logical conclusion it makes express a totally PvE server and actually I dont think anyone wants that. Bu maybe I am wrong I dunno.

I've done my bit taking on the establishment in Alliance, a few of us old LCNers got together after it finally disbanded and ran an undercover op to 'teach people a lesson about playing with no defense". Each of us ran a country in the various different alliances - so that no one could be held accountable - then just as people's stockpiles were fat and undefended we came out of hiding and grabbed it all. Project "Firebase Gloria" all our countries were easily identifiable from the start. (I love a good easter egg.)

People called us "suiciders" too. I chuckled, we'd spent weeks on setting it up running top notch netting countries to blend in, all the planning like we we're in Oceans 11 or something). People thought it was for the land "oh you guys, that was pathetic, people have grabbed loads more land than you did etc" nobody ever did the math on the cash and bushels though and absolutely nobody realised it was just to see what was possible. We had no beef with anyone.

So I was a naughty boy, and for a reset I got to play the villain. Next set I was killed on sight by LaF, a task made easier by me tagging "UgolinoII" lol.

Anyway to make amends I spent a reset with LaF where I played (I think) my first ever FFO, which was fun but I only got 320m and didn't make t10. It's weird not seeing LaF around tbh, I always liked them.

I've retired from all that now, but it's always easy to spot my alliance country. Every other server I just play under my name, that way if anyone has beef with me they get to take their shot and get it out of their system. Its all just a game after all and I don't want to leave anyone feeling mad at me for anything I did (intentionally or not).

I'm way too old for all the drama on AT. I prefer irreverence if pushed ;)

Once I figure out how express worked though I kind of liked how it played, admittedly I had a slight accident this round, which I was unable to talk my way out of. So instead I had to BR my way out of it instead heh.

Incidentally that guy could have retalled and I would have sucked it up as it was my mistake, I'm very reasonable I even stated my retal policy a few weeks back. Essentially 1:1 https://www.earthempires.com/...intent-52649?t=1714653649

Immediately following that I hit most every human player on the server, and accepted every retal in good spirit. I hope all the people that scored a great hit enjoyed it. I know I love hitting a fat retal, the moment of anticipation as you send, praying to metal that you calculated the break right, and that RNJesus doesn't choose this moment to smite you!

But anyway it seemed like #94 wanted to war so.....

Ah, that was you.

So yeah you were definitely one of the - "I think I might be able get away with a single tap on this human"

Turns Played: A lot (none on hand, not too many stored)
Strat: Rainbow
Tech: Nowhere near enough to produce enough.
Defense: way. way. WAY. too little to defend 10k acres.

That combination of factors made you a very easy 'side grab' when you are at that part of the reset where efficiency is still paramount and you dont want a ton of jets out of action on a PS. 3 other people thought the same. FWIW the one that hit you twice has broken GDI on you soo......



Express has a unique kind of dynamic due to the usual 'turn-based' nature of the game being somewhat scrambled by the rate that turns come in.

The main side effect of this is that, pretty much any country running a 'legit' strat can retal any other country on the server. Unless the grabber takes extreme measures, which kind of makes the whole point of grabbing a human pointless as you are then screwing your grabbing efficiency. Sure defense is expensive but it's not *that* expensive that carrying a nominal amount to deter cheap. grabs is going to ruin your finish.

As you were a rainbow with no tech I knew your production was going to be way lower than it should be for a 10k acre country that had played that many turns, and you didn't have any turns on hand so it was probably going to be challenging for you to get the jets to retal. So I reckoned that if I was in your shoes I would probably reason that it wasn't worth it. So I took my shot. If you retal me then good show, you would have probably got way more land back and as several players on here can affirm, I would have congratulated you on the retal cos its just a game, and I know how sweet it feels when you nail a great retal.

Sadly, I can't even break GDI on you cos of humanitarians, that coupled with the other 5 grabs on you suggest you never did buy up the turrets that you probably ought to have had!

Running a 0 def country is a big risk, and if it pays off I don't think it really adds up to that much benefit over the course of a set.

The only reason to do it IMHO would be to tempt noobs into breaking GDI on you so you can war them.

however long this current server has been here is the amount of time you missed on most all of that except the one country part.. was unlimited as many as you could run! ..was called FFA Free For All.. an actual war server ..not simply eponymous .. and just one of your problems is you don't really want a war server but a platform to blow crap but you would have loved the boards ..you could say anything to anyone about anything you wanted..only reason I look at these boards is people like you! carry on

You can tell us your country and we can op it ourselves ;)

You already blasted me Ugo.

I tried to eat some of your lunch and I was hit in the head with a GDI bat.

Maybe there could be a server where it is survival is the fittest.

One country per player.

No GDI. No rules. Top Feeding. Bottom Feeding. Suiciding. Clans. No Clans. Etc.

A War server.

Where countries can War.

A server where The Free Market Of War takes no prisoners and doesn’t suffer fools.

Where everyone knows what they are signing up for when they create a country.

It might…. It just might become the most popular server.

Anyway all good.

Question: if two posters get banned for fluff banter and fluff talking, does fluff talking one or both of those banned members after they've been banned also risk a ban?

Asking for Josey Wales.

Looks like Superfly is lashing out again.
