Busy with other things right now.

I must have touched your soul.

Anything in particular you need?

Holding a grudge has nothing to do with it. It's fun to take someone who thinks they have an advantage and twist it around on them.

No emotion involved other than joy.

The "ee" thing makes me laugh... I remember when that meant Echelon Entertainment.

You guys have limited imagination =)

Heck, personally, if I wanted to make a point I wouldn't even go after him. I'd go after his friends.

Cressent knows this guy.

If you are mad enough you could always go after him in Team ;-)

I'll give you a hint: Games are just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm just shocked you didn't take the name for yourself first. Seems like it would be your style.

Blond...

If this conversation is ban worthy it would really put a lot of other issues into perspective.

riiiiight.

I'm ok with a ban. This forum really needs some livening up.

JJ, one parting word of advice: Lose the act. You'll thank me.

And if you don't cheat... why do you have that reputation. Is everyone just a jealous hater and they are all picking on you?

There you go again. You type like you are 14, not 26.

If you are so good why do you cheat? Is it because you've created an image of yourself in your mind that you are struggling to maintain in game?

Or is this just the same persona you've been cultivating for years and you've actually grown fond of it. I can appreciate being a d- bag on a forum for entertainment... but you've been playing the same role for so long it must have crept into your real life by now.

Are you a real life d-bag? Do you have a popped collar and wear lots of pink?

And for the record, you wouldn't get anywhere close to an Earth HoF...

1) It would be filled with the founders of the influential alliances... you aren't one of those people.

2) It would be filled with some of the best moderators, you aren't one of those people.

3) It would be filled with true netting greats of the past... people like MM, aqua.... you aren't one of those people either.

JJ do you even look at what you post before you post it?

Personal? By pointing out that you are a poser?

Fail

Like I said, you always have excuses. Always.

If you really want to fluff wave I placed 4th in Express in round 5, 2nd in round 7, 4th in round 9, and 3rd in round 10.

The whole time just fluffing around playing random strats.

This reset I played an all-x tyr techer going spy and missile heavy looking for a fight... nothing presented itself so I'll accidentally finish with 18m without trying while playing pretty much the worst all-x strat you can play.

coulda, shoulda, woulda. Right JJ? Just think of what you could accomplish if you finished high school =)

JJ, that is actually pretty pathetic. I can get that this set without even grabbing.

How is it that you always have excuses and never actually perform?

Cutting military out of the equation removes almost all of the true strategy.

Sometimes the greedy need tough love.

KoH: Please explain how it is a stupid move. Are you going to beat me up?

I'll be starting up in B/C again this set. Play however you want, just be aware there are potential consequences.

Bleh... I state my case in a few days when I don't have to do it by phone.

And game A has 40 players now... game A doesn't even matter any more =/

Just to clarify one last thing: You really didn't have the advantage you claim. I had 450million in stock even selling at my 34/bushel private market price.

I was already above 5 million NW and could have easily jumped out of target range. I was also producing 130k bushels per turn and still netting 70k/t while exploring.

Edit: I screwed myself because I accidently sold 860k tanks on my private market instead of bushels =p... that set me back considerably, so instead of spending turns crushing you before you knew what happened I had to build up my army again... it happens... I just want to you to know the whole story.

The problem I have with the tendencies of current CI's is that it forces other strats into a less efficient dynamic. In the past there were enough people to keep the CI's honest at the end of the reset. Now it looks like tourney is really weak. I was running an all explore demo farmer and selling all my bushels on the private market and I was still able to outperform most... that is not a good state of affairs for the game in general.

So, long story short... run a CI and grab near the end of the reset at your own risk from now on. If I see anything after the 20th day of the reset I will take action.

The number of acres on the grab doesn't matter.

Tourney has become weak, and as a result CI's feel free to grab all reset without the risk of running into people like me.

I'm going to play tourney very simply. All explore, and if I see a CI's grabbing with less than 10 days left in the reset I'm going to pick one and drag it down.

SuperFly,

I asked you this in-game as well... why do you even mention top 10? I explained this before but I will lay it out again. Top 10 has NEVER meant anything in tourney. At best top 5 in 2a was an accomplishment, and the only other factors that ever mattered were acres (overall) and net (overall).

It matters even less now that tourney is so small.

Don't get me wrong, it can still be fun, but do yourself a favor and drop the whole "top 10" thing completely.

Again, nothing personal. If you keep the same country name and don't pop up on my radar I wouldn't expect you to have any issues with me in the future.

I like to fight too.

Consider me the push-back against commie indis that want to grab all reset.

Nothing personal. I just don't like the affect it has on tourney dynamics and I'm going to go out of my way in tourney to change things.

Only 180 of the 3,500 countries I currently run were deleted.

amidoinitrite?

Edit: And I have more than 10 minutes worth of patience... I just really don't care. It is an ancient text based video game... I think everyone here has proven many times over that they have more than 10 minutes worth of patience.

I'm also certain that spawn and slagpit know that I only ran 15 countries and that none of my countries were allied, and that none of them sent FA, and that none of them hit anyone outside of the series other than two retals.

I honestly don't care.

I'm not wasting my time worrying about it.

Bye.

On second thought, it doesn't matter. This is a great excuse to find a better use for 20 minutes a day.

Why are all my countries deleted?

Someone please contact Ice and explain to him or someone else in LaE. I don't use messagers.

Or send me an in site message.

These threads are always worthless. Always ends up as a popularity / fluff sucking contest.

Or a way to name drop someone who hasn't played for 8 years.

Do those types of people even spend time on the internet, much less a text based video game from the previous century?

You sound like a midget (not really, but he was like 5' 2") who used to make fun of everyone and try to make them feel bad for being bigger than him.

He works at a gas station now.
