I've always advocated for open profiles in all servers and I'm not a so called skilled player, this is a matter of transparency not privacy, i don't care to know who is who at beginning but I sure want that info at end of the round, i think it is logical to know who was who once the set ends.

I came back to the game recently after about 10 years off. After a quick look around it seems like FFA is all about teching and farming bots as fast as possible. I don't have enough free time to wait for bots to get out of DR or to sell multiple times a day for all 16 countries. A few questions.

1) Are tech prices always above $4k every set, or have the past few sets been excessively good for techers? I can't imagine a casher is able to compete well buying 30 pts of tech per acre at $5k.
2) What's the bot to human ratio, and is it always very easy to find a bot not in DR?
3) It seems like Kill4Free is setting up a DMBR from day 1 and sending as much stock as possible to that country to optimize $ to NW conversion. Is this common? and are there multiple countries like this most sets manipulating market prices and reselling?

Thanks all for any guidance. The dynamics seem very different from when I played 16 Dictator farmers Landtrading back in set 20.

I always enjoy helping out folks, I usually message a number of the smaller tags just to see how they are doing, and if they wish to have a DNH.

That being said, to answer the original question about best netter, I have only been playing for the last 8 sets I think, took a 5 year break. In the last 8 sets, I managed to get the highest series NW ever recorded in FFA (25b for series), out of the top 5 countries ever in ffa, I have 3 of them. In addition, out of the 8 sets I played, I only netted for 5 of them, and in 4 got top country (and at worst, 2nd or 3rd series NW). I also have the highest value of top 3 countries avg by 2b NW on the boards. Getting top 10 placements is more about how many sets you have played. Getting highest series NW is a finite thing, you have it or you do not ;)

When Ukrainia "agrees to hold negotiations", are you current thing drones going to shift over to climate change refugees, Iranian nukes, or just bounce back to covid hysteria? You know the abortion and gun thing is stewing for reasons. When Zelensky has grifted enough tax dollars and sold 80% of those weapons, armor and ammo on the black market. Good luck with that Europe. 100's of Billions in payoffs to stfu about corrupt Western politicians and various business shenanigans. Pretending Putin has anything to do with gas/ energy price hikes. It used to be entertaining, but the economic and societal destruction, soon to be permanent, is in the hands of people terrified of being labeled -ist, or missing an episode on netfl*x. What's it going to take? The lights go off? Empty shelves (real this time)? 911 doesn't answer? Everything is fine until it's totally wrong. I love you all. Kisses and hugs. Besties to the end.

Wow.. Just wow... I need to buy weed from this guy... lmao...

Anyone want to comment on Biden's 23m bots? Or maybe that's another right wing conspiracy like the laptop ......

I'm just waiting for all of the intellectually consistent folks to equally desire Clinton and Trump thrown in jail without jumping through mental hoops to defend "their side"

Quiet you. This is the most entertaining thing on AT in 20 years

This thread derailed quickly into non-productive, aggressive nonsense. Stay on track and keep it game focused please. Save the rest for your social groups and any community meetings you may attend.

It is true. We recoded the game just to mess with you at that exact moment, and only you. It was the only thing I could be bothered with doing as the DBMM.

My favorite trick to generate cash to play turns is pressing Alt + F4 and hitting my power bar

I'm just going to ignore you from now on, you don't add anything of value to this discussion and clearly have no idea what you are talking about

Based on this gem you posted above, I think the best way to go about "clearly killing the game" would be for the developers to make you a moderator

i deleted this post because i don't want to get in trouble

sorry, i got carried away

Cathankins - this is a great quote actually
"All the griefers all have one thing in common... if you look at their profiles they never have achieved a high NW"

guochel - this quote is just delusional
"rocky, we all know your purpose is to hurt as many people as possible"

I've never entered a set with the intention of hurting anyone, my intention is to play the game to the best of my ability and have fun doing it.

After all, Earth Empires is a free browser based strategy game where you take control of your nation's military and economy. Command your country's military to attack and defend against your enemies. Execute attack strategies to relieve opponents of their resources and land. Strategically invest in technology to outpace the economies of other countries. Conduct military operations, govern your country and build your empire.

Some players in this server seem to forget what this game is about and try to go an entire round without any attacking or defending, and other players forget that it is a game at all and take the strategic gameplay of others personally, carrying grudges over from one reset round to the next. I am neither one of those types of players.

rocky, we all know your purpose is to hurt as many people as possible
you are not a peaceful netgainer. you are the opposite. your plan this set was to hurt as many peaceful netgainers as possible by creating 200,000 spies (at 1 million NW) so that you implement your griefy ops endgame.
now, your strategy is to netgain of course so you can remain in game A so you can do more griefy stuff next set. i will make sure that does not happen
in fact, any time i identify you, i will hamper your griefy efforts. you are very sly and intelligent, rocky, but unfortunately all your intelligence is dedicated to being evil

Honest answer?
SF and I have a back and forth thing. So I am not abusing him and he knows that. I don't think he needed you to stand up for him. He is quite the big boy.
If my post made you feel some type of way that is up to your feelings.

Secondly, he and I have been over this rule about 15 times. So he knows it applies to solo servers. It is in the first paragraph of slagpit's post on the announcements forum from April 9, 2021.

I am not sure why we keep going on about sanctions, but if you all want to have something on team, we all can start a thread about reacting the spirit of the server rules. I am sure everyone remembers the last time that went down and team server ran off Tella? I think everyone pissed off Nate too.


Edited to add:

Im not doing too bad for FFA ;)

What is a bot server? None of these servers has historically been a bot server. The only reason they are bot servers is because the players numbers have gone too low which has changed it to lame PvE game.

Can anyone tell me how I can get my news log after the Express set so I can post all of the evidence showing that me and Jiklo did not coordinate and then we can try and get in contact with another moderator or qzjul or someone else higher than this moderator.

Once I post the evidence and the full set's log everyone will clearly see that me and Jiklo were not attacking or in coordination.

Please this moderator did not get any reports on me and Jiklo this moderator simply saw "bayrock" in the set and sought after any reason anything at all that could get us removed from Express again just like what happened 3 years ago. I assure everyone we are not the same person and we don't coordinate in Express.

No-one even reported us for coordination it was the moderator that went and did it all alone. NO-ONE REPORTED US FOR COORDINATION BECAUSE WE DIDNT COORDINATE

ok just had some more issues pop up. sorry guys but i have to say the user interface and annoyances in this game is on an insane level i think the developrs need to start thinking about who they can pass this game on to because they are doing a pretty average job I would say not just now, its been YEARS possibly a decade. If i had ownership of this game trust me there would be massive content updates and way more new players. If you dont wanna maintain the game just give the game to someone else !!!!!!!!!!!

I dunno man there are other netters who do the same thing in other servers. It’s all subject to personal interpretation by players of the server.


One of the biggest netter player and opposers of my so called “griefing” in express just did griefing in teams. And some of the guys who are against PVP farming in express farm people in primary until they quit the set. If the big netters in this server wanted pvp then we would have pvp farm fest.

Instead of petitioning the mods for BS. Petition the players to not be cry babies and bring back pvp. It will be the only way to make a change.,,,
