If more people sell it for dirt cheap, you will have less competition. Since this is the beginning of the game, lots of countries haven't decided what gov to chose and seeing high oil prices will only compel them to go oiler. If that happens then oil will be dirt cheap the entire set ... because people are too lazy or too stubborn =P
If that is so, why do you allow the douche-bags annoy you? Although I'm not much of a fighter, I offer my mercenary services to Evo if they decide to war (entails killing their countries not just fluffing at them on AT or IRC) Laf.
has laf and evo ever war against each other? Aside of this BS claims that one cheats more than the other?
I've only been playing one set and its like dumb to see so much hatred. If you don't like each other just declare it and don't go around the bush...
I'm sure members from both sides would want nothing less... or perhaps its just leadership propagating this to get members to agree to a war of two great netting alliances.
hmm, I'm sure you used that name to get people that recognize it to not hit you. Which kind of makes sense. I know that next set, I will avoid hitting some people that I've befriend this and prior set.
I was a techer, but was taken out of commission. I was left with a 12 bpt. Was forced to switch strat, and well I'm going to make the bus/res prices surge too cause, I'll be buyer now... ='(
I think it has to do with most of us playing at the same time. We are depleting the market. I bought me lots of turrets because of a douche, still thinking if he's worth my effort...
maverick is right in some ways, luck does have something to do with doing well in the game. I was lucky that I didn't get suicided or retalled.
Some of the things I did:
I stayed small at the beginning to not attract attention.
I didn't LG too many people to not upset them and to not waste so many turns. I didn't expect a retal on my country because of my high nw and few acres, else they would had to spend lots of $$$ and raise their expenses, which would also lower their potential targets.
Buy cheap tech that other techers (lucky for me there weren't many dumb techers) were selling for what I considered too cheap. I guess you can say I was stocking tech.
