I kinda like you

Xozo was my alt for years. And you didn't kill me before anything started ;) its cute you think about me enough to reimagine how things went tho <3

Lastly, primary has too little demand/turnover, and in alliance you could never compete against 200k anything. You could certainly make it work. But again, what's the point?


Tl;dr
Pure Tmbr was a really cool strat that needs volume (players) to work. It was always a niche play, but unfortunately that niche no longer exists.

A tmbr could finish ok in express if conditions were right and you could log in to resell and grow every two hours without fail.

The biggest problem in my eyes is that you have to sleep. If you don't log in for 8 hours it's the equivalent of losing a couple days of reselling, and your pm refill would be too huge to get under control.

Its not worth it considering an indy would just end up crushing you with 1/10 the time and effort.

Rockman and I could allx pure tmbr to top 5 at will back when primary had a couple thousand players. It was for a very long time my favorite strat.

Believe bleach and I both played a grabbing tmbr the same reset in alliance. It was extremely challenging in a limited land environment to manage pm, expenses, and humanitarians. We both finished well, but I don't remember ranks.

I told you Purp, they're all worthless POS. You missed your chance to make it balance.

Thanks Derrick! See you next set!

My mistake. Aly too personal. I only know u from fb, as you were never my family.

But you did, and if you or your friends were worth the time, you and everyone in this game you know would. You are not a Nostra, and I'm sorry you were invited to our final reset.

Fake name? I've always been osloos, as seen by the tagged nw.

Hearsay? You ruined your little tag. Seems pretty clear to me. Even your shameful supporter Aly went into vacation rather than die with you. She turned her back on a real alliance, with real history, and real competitors for this silly server, but still wouldn't die for you.

Claiming rank 10 of 20 players in express and top 10 of 15 in primary is somehow better than posting my finishes of top 10s out of 2k? My express win and 500m nw after being gone a decade?

The worst thing I've done is even engage your dumb ass. But like I said, I like to feel you gag. Sometimes mouthfkn a doorknob is better than having to manual one.

Spout some more bs for us.

Buttered?

Finishes I found when I came back a few weeks ago, Pittman, plus a couple recent.

OK Pitman. I was going to let it be, but you've tried to publicly shame me and spewed nothing but fiction. Also, I'm drunk, face zero repercussions, and I like when nabs gag on it.

I was going to go through point by point and highlight why you're obviously full of fluff, but you're a trash leader and trash player.

Anyone with any interest can see no one self deleted. If you can't lie about easily disproved facts properly, you certainly can't lie about the hard to disprove ones.

Really, this post is about 2.5 things...
1, you're trash.
1.5, Aly I am ashamed of your behavior.
2, I had top 10s back when people played this game.

Countries: Silly Buttons, Sane Asylum, Retarded Genius... and more recently, all the horseman, sins, and virtues in express. Most of the finishes have 051005 in the nw for posterity.

And yeah I probably farmed all of you in Express. More satisfying than winning, tbh.

I was surprisingly decent at this game when I was 12

We can cross Nostra and touch each other?

Congrats Purp and Z.

Earth, go fluff ur selves. I quit.

You should edit that

Kelts... Please touch my Nostra... Just one more time?

Best wishes to you and everyone you know

Be aware... a land vs land limiting mechanic could easily be abused to your detriment.

Are u the suicidal that detagged to join a war? And had the balls to ask for fa?

I'll never be a 'former nostra'

If u aren't playing it doesn't matter who u r

We need to know who you are. Prefer 0cs in name, but not required.
Insite if necessary.

I had fans once. Most have quit. Those remaining are welcome to fluff me. 0cs, 0fks given.

0cs. Prefer 0cs in country name. Highest nw wins peanuts.

Not divulging names?

Are we tracking everyone's countries?

Kind of looks like everything started with #15.

Quite a toxic server.. that a double tap could lead to so much loss for so many people.

As I was thinking about how some of these events could be accomplished on a server like Alliance... This may be a stretch, but i think it could also solve some of the frustration of having your country get blindsided by a FS or skilled suicider, and add new political and strategic dynamics to the game.

Spawn an alternate reality inside Alliance at say.. week 3 and week 6. The microverse would be an Express type server, where your current alliance country rolls over. Very fast turns, very short duration.

Each version could have its own priorities or tweaks, and rewards could be given to main country upon completion (worthwhile, but not overpowered). Maybe offer a free government change, or 24 hrs of no market commission, double bonus points, a day of 1 turn attacking, whatever.

Inside the microverse, alliances could play for rewards or handle issues. Say SOL was irritated at LAF but wanted to net on the main server. They could declare war in the microverse, get the aggression out and prevent LAF from winning rewards, all the while everyone still peacefully nets in main universe. Skilled suiciders would also have an alternate outlet. Instead of wrecking their main country, they could have an epic Express run and maybe win some rewards of their own.

With a platform like this, you, could introduce the NPC storyline stuff, try different mechanics (new governments, units/tech, whatever), and give ppl new opportunities.

A supplement, or alternative, to storylines, could be simple events or a theme server, which I recently posted about. Basebuilding games, like War and Order, have things like this, where rebel bases spawn, or monsters attack, and they turn it into a single player and guild contest. It's obviously a different environment and platform here, but there could still be periodic activities.

WRT countries being too easy to destroy - as a player who was gone for 10 yrs and came back for LCN reunion, I was extremely surprised by the adjustments put in place. GDI is extremely powerful/useful for the first time ever, and the restart mechanics add an incredible dynamic to the game. I understand the frustration of being killed or suicided, but also know the fun that can be had. Moving too the game too far in protecting either side of that mindset could be devastating.

Also, I won't even walk to the fridge for 1 beer. Minimum royalty would be 6pack/week.

^ slow post. Was multitasking on toilet.

Galleri should be able to look into it. Has everyone msgd?

Hey now, I'm thinking beer money, not mortgage payments

^if this happens I want royalties

If the game ever gets an app.. Instead of having a color or safety system/server, there could be a single player/simulation/tutorial.

~U have guided instruction on a simple version of main strategy of your choice (basically teach newb an NPC strategy)
~Maybe 15 to 50 NPC in the Sim, available to attack
~1 or 2 adversaries that will attack you if your nw to land ratio gets skewed
~A scripted market (not true market, just something that follows turn progression)
~Accelerated turns on 1k turn reset, only while actively playing (turn every few seconds while you're online, then maybe every few minutes while you're off)

~After completing, could even become an ingame purchase. For $0.99 you unlock the ability to run the simulation as often as you want, and maybe another $0.99 to unlock the Alpha 'magic market'. Vets could even be interested in this for their own testing purposes.

I'm certain there would be interest in this game on the app stores. Even with no/limited graphics.

Also, the idea of using NPCs to drive events/war would be awesome, if it was a dedicated server, and was managed carefully.

If we can get a few more people, I'm absolutely in for 0cs challenge

Land has gotten harder since bots dps was adjusted?

I disagree. You'd have to explode oop, and basically determine your strat based on buildings grabbed or settle for rainbow... But with aggressive play you'd be able to make significant progress.

Definitely not saying you could get top 5, but it'd be a fun competition.

I'd commit to a field with 10+ on a no CS challenge.

The no cs competition would be interesting. Pure grabbing and target selection contest.

You're welcome.

Off the piers? Or getting boat?

Its a cool place. We got married here.
