“Best of strat” I think is better than those “best commie net” etc ones but i wasn’t trying to argue we shouldn’t have the other ones, just that BoS could be included on the leaderboard

#1 this is why the new leaderboard should have a 'best of strat' tracker, so even if you went casher you can still grab a point for the leaderboards if you have the best casher
#2 This past set was a 'gg no re' to you? but uhh, your commie scored 72m and won... maybe it was 'gg no re' for a casher, and farmer still doesn't seem that great

Good for sellers. I wonder how things react when buyers can see others’ SOs and bid against each other.

You could still put in an SO for more units than you can afford to sucker in a seller.

Gj edging me out Gerdler. That last day was a huge reversal of fortune with military going from steaming trash to insane high prices with all the big players jumping. Cost me quite a bit.

Curious how you even got caught. Are all our msgs being monitored? :O

I can tell you the rules if you wanna know. The purpose of the intel alliance is this:
An intelligence alliance brings together the strength of each member's intelligence agencies in both engaging in and protecting from spy operations.

The purpose of the defense alliance is this:
A defensive alliance builds a solid foundation to protect each of the partners. Any time you are attacked, 25% of of your allies' forces will come to assist in your defense. However, Your total battle strength cannot be more than doubled through allies, so having allies at your strength is most beneficial in the long run.

That's really all those are for (and to get people chatting and making friends). Even when you have those alliances, you can't coordinate your activities or share any intel that takes a turn to provide, since it's not a teams server.

Commie takes a lot of attention down the stretch so I'm picking something else this set, if anyone else wants to claim the commie lane! Is there anything nobody is doing? Interesting from last reset to see what military prices are with only one commie bigger than a bot, and only one farmer bigger than a bot. Neither prices really got too crazy.

Average turret prices according to eestats, showing last round in parentheses and positioned within the other previous 10:

128 135 (136) 137 138 144 146 149 158 152 180

Thanks yall, the extra 180 turns probably helped 😂

Nice score with a casher by tmac also! Gerd a Best of Strat counter would help recognize your achievement as top techer. It’s a good idea for a scoreboard I swear

There's lots of things that shouldn't be allowed on the forum in order to make it a more inviting place, things like hate speech, death wishes, and so on. Otoh you do have to be judicial with when to punish because people will quit if they feel like they're being trampled on with bans/suspensions and can't share their perspective.

Tech is viable if there’s very few techers. In that case tech start is also ideal and it’s always the safe choice. It all depends on the market though... too many techers and being a techer stinks, and tech starting isn’t really necessary.

I had a crazy idea that players could be allowed to toggle their round by up to 12 hours, so that different countries would run out of turns at different times. It would be weird but it did make me go hmm.

Dear Slagpit,

Could you please answer why the team based servers are excluded from this? (FFA, Team and Alliance)


LoL - war is war.

Mr. Rd - aka gains wants game staff to stop people from conducting war! How the mighty have fallen.

Edit for clarity: *war on team based servers


I have no problems with wars, it brings activity back to the server when you have a proper war/grudge.

I was more wondering about people bringing things from alliance server to FFA.
Example: req got upset I won over him in most missiles sent.
He knows I run some countries netting away in ffa and go find me there and AB me. Telling me I should just give up cause he will continue this until I quit producing missiles on the alliance server

His buddies finds me in the team server and req gets all happy when they ab me there as well.


I'm surprised someone legitimately thinks this is a situation worthy of game staff involvement.

Is cross server griefing not one of the explicitly listed reasons for applying military sanctions??

I feel like the cash gain was basically halved because oil was $350 at that time... plus 700k jets lost, and the costs of rebuilding and defense losses on my retal, so ultimately it was only a gain at all as a topfeed with net acre gain. But yes topfeeds do pay sometimes.

A leaderboard for sanctioned players would be rewarding bad behavior. All-x leaderboard on the other hand does make sense.
I could also see the case for allowing sanctioned players to still grab bots.

I usually refrain from making comments about stuff like this but as a newer player that has stayed on, it's quite a turn off.

At the end of the day, it's a game and it's supposed to be fun. Quit trying to dictate how the game should be played (on your own terms).

lol, im not calling for anyone to get in trouble here you know, at no point did i do that!

im just saying if one country already has a name the game shouldnt let another country take the same one. hardly an extreme or bizarre take?? actually it's weirder as it stands imo, and it really just seemed like a simple and common sense thing to bring up while there's an admin in the house who could throw on a patch.

just look what happened irl with macedonia :|

I did that for a few turns last round before I caught it. I was telling someone that in BRE, Mehul had it so that unassigned industries produced cash (relatively ineffectively, it was still better to sell on private).

It makes things confusing for other users, and if it's unsolicited it could be quite annoying for the one who got their name impersonated. And in a solo server, it gives the appearance of funny business even if there is none.

Planning ahead for targets would count as time spent, ideally. Same if you are in IRC looking at the market. It would all have to be honor system really, unless it was implemented for a season of the Fiesta Server actually. Turn off the external data (like Tourney does) so people can only grab from inside the game. Timer starts when you log in and then there's an "Exit game" button on the home page that you have to click to stop the timer.

Originally posted by Gerdler:

I suggest one of the following:
*A sum of up to 10 minutes between the first and last grab of all your grabbing sprees put together.
*Do all your grabs of the reset within 1 hour of your choosing, no grabbing outside this window.
*A limit of X grabs for the reset, where X is something like 5-20(to be determined later).

Not crazy about the latter two options here because that's limiting the amount of grabs, whereas the impetus for this is sort of to show you can do a lot of attacks and get big without actually spending a lot of time "camping" or hunting through targets actually.

The first one is good because it mostly reflects time spent, not attacks made, but 10 minutes for a whole set is quite low, and also it would have to be honor system of course since we can't know someone hasn't spent 15 minutes picking out the targets ahead of time and then does the attacks in 2 minutes.

Here's a fun challenge idea, turning on a stopwatch for any time spent running your country or looking up targets. You have 1 hour for the whole week, how high can you go

(In response to the talk that the top scorers are the top time investors)

As Gerdler mentions though me and him could’ve finished up around the top. That would make the set dominated by techers and commies, which isn’t that the express standard?
