We shall see about that! You never know, you may surprise yourself.

Meanwhile I sold the wrong amount of military tech. Had like 1.1m points leftover, wish I sold more but people weren't buying it. Still did sell enough to be like 60k tech short of the $36 food private sale price point. So today I sold off turrets on the private just to buy some more mil tech and eat up all the $35 public market food. It took like 100 repetitions of buying $35 and selling $36 to churn through it and the entire time I was afraid I would misclick and sell all my tanks instead. Could've been a 1m net profit but because I had to sell turrets, only 100k net profit, which I already blew by taking a turn at my current expenses.

In conclusion if anyone has food they need to get rid of I'll buy as much as you want for $35. :)

You attacked him twice Dr. Hardass. That's what happens sometimes when you multi tap a guy with missiles. And leave Mike alone, he's here to help you.

Thanks herbs! Hope you find a good landing spot for all those missiles!

And I think Zeal will finish 100m+ instead of the 95m I said earlier. Rob will also finish lower because he got Beepo'd again. :(

121m It is what it is
101m Flying Spaghetti Monster
98m EEVIL WAR MACHINE
95m Zeal
94m This Is The Way

Don't you reckon you'll finish 110m+, Tmac? With zero spy ops done on you all set I would just randomly guess like 120-125.

Nice retal! Practically 10k acres, that's like a 25% to your land total in one attack! And all the right kinds of ghosts.

Food dipped and military prices jumped way before they naturally would and before any possible destock time, largely due to the high risk grabs among top players driving up military purchasing and preventing stocking. That's devastating to a techer even with the tech prices holding up until yesterday. Should be a nice outcome for the commies.

No he dropped a lot of net worth I can't get that low to hit him. Plus he deserved that crack i would have done the same. I just don't know what to do now as netgaining isn't on the cards and that dude doesn't deserve me bothering him nor will I drop a ton of net.

LOL I didn't realize that. Actually that makes me respect it less, because it's not like netgaining and then jumping to continue netgaining. It's instead warring and then hiding even though that seems counter to your intentions of warring? Almost like starting a fire and running away. :O Maybe he plans to pop back up when he has more missiles, or he's building an arsenal of tanks outside of your view, and it's all tactical...

Nukes have their place. When I'm attacking a guy who can't really fight back, my worst fear is he'll generate a nuke. If he hits me with a chem, fine, I still get to keep the land I took. A nuke and I likely lose land on the exchange.

It's Earth Empires, not Ocean Empires.

Therefore let's do this other idea suggested in the thread instead:

Express is a pretty good server too. Especially good for people learning or people that want more daily involvement. I agree the bots have really sawed off the edges there though, although lack of land was a problem. The short nature also makes it feel more like a throwaway experience as compared to the more prestige feeling on Primary.

I wonder what a good answer for injecting more land into the game would be. I guess if bots punched back and therefore couldn't be farmed quite so hard... Then they'd be adding more land into the game without turning it into a DR farming operation.

I don't consider the techer relevant in discussing the win. 30k land = 10k tpt, selling 54 turns of tech at $1850 right now is a clean $1b a day. Then consider Rob's farmer, 388k bushels per turn at $47/bushel * 54 also = ~1b. The difference is that Rob will keep growing, and tech prices will keep falling. 30k land on day 30 was nice and it will be a top ten country but you have to set your expectations a little lower for any techer.

Okay, I became a little curious and went back and read Gerdler's wall post. It operates under the presumption that people can get away with running multis as it is, but instead of focusing on that issue, it identifies this new humanitarian suggestion as the problem. Huh? If I ran a multis I could surely keep one within humanitarian range to farm, or I could provoke a war with the other big countries running my strat, or do dozens of other things. The problem there is running multis, not this suggestion. That whole argument is a huge distraction and can safely be ignored.

The one somewhat pertinent thought that occurred to me when reading Gerderl's post is that this change would make the little guy who chooses to strike back in some capacity vulnerable to an even larger beatdown as humanitarians would then be lifted.

I used it last reset and won. It clearly helps big players like me abuse the little guys, but as a competitive player I feel like I need to make use of it from time to time to maximize my chance at winning.

I agree with Requiem and also didn't read Gerdler's wall of text.

I should not be able to 5x tap someone with a missile stockpile and then jump and become immune to retaliation. I should need SDI if I am going to employ that playstyle.

#33 isn't Rob but was the first to farm Relax. If Relax was fighting back but by spy op only, then nobody else could see it and therefore other folks (such as Rob) felt safe to hit him multiple times, because Relax seemed content to be farmed when you looked at his news on eestats.

I guess don't multi-tap a country on a clear war footing that you can't outrun through humanitarians. But reality here is Cerb got attacked and just wanted to come and vent with some tough talk, yes? It's funny to me, I can't help it

It also has nothing to do with GDI. It's the humanitarian server rules, and quitting GDI wouldn't change that. I also doubt people are targeting you personally but they likely see you as a safe target to outgrow.

He was bragging about all the juicy retals he was earning by not using his regular name! If I hadn't seen that very message I would've hit his fat country too, LOL.

Also a guy called I retal with SARS-Cov-2 who just devastated A Good Place.

Kind of funny that he was running his country toward one single purpose, and failing to achieve it, he self-deleted. Almost feels Shakespearean or something, lol!

I wouldn’t blame myself if I were you. Like, first off not your fault you got hit like that, and secondly yeah it might have been the difference between TMac and 103m but a lot happens in a reset. I took a massive topfeed from Bug that cost me probably several million. Ponti ate one too. And so on

Well my 3 favorites to win in order are

1) Underland (56)
2) I am content (28)
3) Backpfeifengesicht (8)

4) EEVIL War Machine (35)

My new thoughts

1) I am content (28) 106m
2) Backpfeifengesicht (8) 103m
3) Underland (8) 101m
4) EEVIL (35) 96m
5) TossLand (27) 95m

Reason for Number 1 choice I have been watching him all set. Very skilled player who has made great conservative choices in his grabs with a wise oil boost during peak prices. Decent stock and knowledge how to use it at end.

2) Mine is contingent on anymore hits coming from retals, and angry people at me, and any other reasons. If I can hold my land and cash out best case scenario 103. Again score contingent on bushell prices holding above 45 for as long as possible to afford expenses. If this falls fast so does the net and down the board I would move.

3) Took a risk and ate a retal, jumped up net for more expenses. This knocked him down a few spots. Other then this a well played set all around and will have a impressive score.

4) Incredible potential for much higher then got hit by missiles and fell into a little kerfuffle. Would have a lower score but made a smart choice to go high defense sell down turrets for his stock at great prices and rise again with heavy jets keeping expenses very low. So this move alone barring If no more fights or attacks should net him huge dividends at the end here and a high networth for lower land.

5) Has had no more up or downs since last score been consistent and rising and stocking. If left just to cashing and playing out will have a nice finish and a good played set.

This should be one of the highest top 5 networth sets in a very long time. Thanks for taking the time to read if anyone has any other thoughts I'd love to hear them.

Edit : These are all just guesses and meant for fun. I hope no one gets angry or complains about the nature of the posts.

I've basically confirmed I won't make 100m. :(
