story goes:

-biker slams on breaks in front of suv
-suv nudges him- no damage or injury seen on the video
-a few dozen motorcycles surround car with guy+wife+toddler and start pounding on the doors
-car drives off hitting someone
-30 motorcycles chase suv through new york
-man is pulled out of car and left beaten, slashed, and unconscious on the street.

watched the whole video-the biker stopped taping as they were pulling the driver out of his car. though it doesn't take a genius to find out what happened next. can't believe anyone would think the idiot that got run down is anything but a criminal. they should wake his paraplegic ass to read him his rights and charge him. no pity for the stupid and belligerent.

also: would be funnier if it weren't so sad. the idiots were part of a group called "Hollywood Stuntz" and were trying to block off the freeway so they could flash mob and viral video some mad motorcycle tricks.

it's dumb that allies are allowed at all.

should just nerf the PS to give a smaller attack bonus and then ban all allies.

problem solved.

Wow! Not only is it 90k, but you get 1600 sq ft, an ocean view, a fireplace, and your agent is a famous author.

something comparable in my town. the house I posted is a little smaller, has one fewer bedroom, the lot is half the size, and it's 50 years older. On the other hand it has an extra bathroom and costs 9 times as much.

2 months salary is for the engagement ring, not the wedding band. And that is an unholy rip off. Spending that much on a shiny rock is crazy.

that said my wife's engagement was $2k, her wedding band was $400, and my wedding band was $250. Still crazy, but happily not too terrible.

I get that blid. But, i'll take my retals every time and I don't care about when. If someone wants to RoR then they can. But they face a ton of bricks. Had I not fought earlier in the set I might've even been able to wreck his country and walk away from it.

In this case. We're both going to limp this one in. But he (maybe me too) ruined potential t10s. Since I'm not the belligerent though I will net through most sets. Because he is, he fights every set.

he has cash on hand sufficient to break anyone. but I'm pretty sure he's gonna use it for yours truly. His most recent ingame messages were getting a little... ummm, aggresive?

Although, if he buys jets with that money he'll lose 1m+jets per bomb airbase:) 1v1 warring is so hilarious. spies>armies every time.

Iunno why everyone is getting worked up about it.

Some LaF guy quad tapped Rage. I don't care what anyone says that's somewhere between a fluff move and an idiot move.

Rage gets to retal. I'm pretty sure that most people go land:land with probably a 200 or 400% markup for the quad hit OR they kill the offender. In this case, Rage got 1000%(and 1:1) and opted not to kill.

then they went for more outside of the LaF accepted retal period? Meh. This has nothing to do with size or Rage as an alliance. If MD did the same(an alliance of comparable size to LaF) we'd treat the hits outside the retal period as landgrabs and retal as such.

Some people think LaF are being bullies. That's your call. But I think Candy & dd have handled this in a very measured way.

While the strategy drives me nuts, give credit where credit is due.

He's the only person to ever grab me on this server that tried to outrun a retal. Further, he's one of very few people who actually had a chance at outrunning it.

Yah, I blew my wad sabo'ing missiles and bombing things. That's after I blew my last wad getting on # 18 for his RoR on me earlier in the set.

I currently have 31k production buildings with 7k rainbow-rest empty. I think Gogy is currently on 36k production with 5k rainbow-rest empty. But I went into this knowing that gogy had a tighter country and turns stored.

We've been going back and forth by message and it's apparent that he believes in retal windows and considered my retal a grab.

As you can see. We had a fundamental difference in opinion.

Personally, I feel that Evo and LaF have had it out and we should be done with it. That said if LaF were certain that we were fighting this set we wouldn't have had 20% of our membership go r-cash.

I think OOP FSs are super lame. It basically removes any country-strategy from the picture and makes this an incredibly boring game of attendance-attrition. The kind of game that wears out players and alliances. Although the new adjustments have nerfed killing so heavily that these attendance-attrition wars are inevitable.

Is it cheating? No. Just like FAing someone into #1 or CDing someone with 30 seconds left in the set(admittedly things LaF hs done in the past), it's just superlame.

Just to put it out there:

The world is a dangerous place and I find this new -civilized- Primary to be lacking the absolute chaos of E: 2025.

Though I understand the rationale, and I think that Primary would lose a lot of good players if we changed or removed GDI, I think I would prefer it if GDI was trashed and we went all anarchy.

also: Anarchy should be a government type. Specializing in glass cannon suiciding.

also, giants1223. You can still troll people and get revenge. But it requires you to have a good country, so you can pick a fight with someone with SSs and PSs. You could take Xinhuan's advice and do some research and work. Or you could take the easy way. Start a country in Alliance, join an alliance, and people will mentor you through the game mechanics. Honestly, it's pretty easy. That way you can come back next set and play how you want in primary, and hopefully make a few friends and join the community.

If you need alliance recommendations just pm me. Or create a thread in alliance talk.

well,

when a country drops all his defense, then messages people ingame telling them he did/was doing so, then gets farmed by messengees then that's probably coordinating.

without the message it could always be dumb luck. and I don't believe dumb luck is punished, is it?

yah. qz's alliance gotten beaten and farmed for a full two months this set. But the war was only competitive for the first 3-4 days despite them having higher numbers and comparable activity.

the idea behind this and the change for restarts to keep tech is to give an alliance with inferior strategies the ability to remain competitive longer.

most people consider it topfeeding when you have no intention to avoid the retal. It is a valid strategy, anything is really, but I'm unaware of a topfeeder finishing t10 at any time in the 4 sets I've played primary. It's just inefficient to lose 350m+ worth of buildings-a days production- when you can just bottomfeed and lose nothing.

No, this isn't for lemmings =/

If you look at most wars with even numbers on both sides, the war is only close for less than week typically; In E2025 the wars (to me at least?) seemed to stay close for longer, at least assuming similar numbers...

really? this is so that larger countries take more damage when fighting little countries. sounds like it's exactly for lemmings.

iunno. Every buff to the defender hurts smaller alliances in an outsized way. I just don't see how an alliance the size of anyone besides MD/LaF/SoF will be able to get the turns to kill a waller outside of an FS.

Granted, stonewalling IS NERFED with the attack change. Last reset the moment someone came online the kill run was over as all they needed to do was buy a few thousand troops and your attack returns were suddenly 1/5th what they had been previously. Now you can power through it - though at great cost if the attacker is better then the attackee.

all in all these changes look like they were designed to help crappy warring clans and nerf bottom feeding. If that was your goal then you likely succeeded.

spy ops only bust gdi if they are offensive. this includes stealing tech but not the Spy/Spy Alliance/military/Market

SPAL for a casher? Most high end cashers unlikely have more then 15-20 right now. Whereas high end commies probably have 25-30.

When I play CI I spy/spy alliance/then spy on all allies. Though this is my first set as a casher in primary and I'm finding it quite difficult so I normally just spy+spy allies, guesstimate on ally NW and then go for the gusto.

I wouldn't say your fight was utterly disgraceful archaic. You guys had confusing target selection in the first week which I think hurt your chances. But TiVo/PDM showed that most of their players had big brass balls to keep fighting after the fight was long over.

I think there might still be bad blood between Evo/PDM and LaF. But in my book, you guys aren't so bad. Between TIE and LaF there never was bad blood.

Well,

Like hao said, it was a dumb move to take fa to move into first. But it's pointless to yap about what or what not construes a 'legit' finish. everyone agrees that neither oldman or soda cheated. Breaking down what each person feels is acceptable is a pointless exercise.

Oldman legitimately won. he just won in a fluffish way. A quarter of LaF was in the chat when oldman typed this post. Whether you believe in his sincerity or not, he is sincere. but all that can be done is that we not do this in the future. Can't do a fat lot about what's already done.

these prices are about par for the course.

I've played primary for 4 sets. In three of them prices for jets/turrets started out around 120-140 or so. then 4-6 weeks into the set the prices collapse and it sits around 85-95 for a few weeks before recovering to 110-120 or so. the last week it spikes up to the 140+range.

dunno how you could make a go of it as an mbr on this server at all.

emanny- I'm not advocating people retalling me a month later. But you need to understand that a netgainer is likely going to lose their ability to competitively netgain when they hit someone a second time.

GDI works such that as long as you have hit someone less then twice all you can do is SS/PS/Non harmful ops+Tech steal

------------------------

though not a perfect example, I'm happy to brag:

Someone topfed/midfed me this set. I retalled him 6 hours later. He then retalled my retal the next day. At this point I was 8.3m NW and 22k acres, he was 8.2m NW and 21k acres. We were both logged out t10. Within 24 hours I had PS'd him again, destroyed half his jets, all his missiles and destroyed 4k buildings. His reset/ability to war was ruined because I got the first strike.

If you are ready to give someone that advantage because you couldn't keep pace with someone you had a 4x NW advantage on at some point then do so. But don't expect to netgain very much.

emanny - that's a position some people take.

but by taking that position you open yourself up to an FS. It's the nature of GDI. So if you are wanting to do that you need to make sure you have SDI and tanks. Cause if you RoR someone a month and a half into the set they're gonna have 10 missiles and will easily be able to ruin your netting set.

h20 - i guess since I consider this a war game. I'm surprised that anyone would assume that they can double tap me and I'll do is let them off with a 1:1 that nets him 1500 acres/hit.
