What's the point of being a troll when you're so bad at it?

If you have a lot of defense you'll be left alone for the most part. Even with country:country retals alliances could and would still enforce rules about overgrabbing and suiciding. I believe laf's original proposal was to revert back to alliance:alliance retals if more than one grab was done.

You'd essentially be safer on the alliance server, as you always are.

Are all-X countries obsolete in primary, express, or tourney? Plenty of people play there without jets successfully. Snawdog had a good point, settle down.

EEVIL has nearly double the average net of the rest of the server.

As for the latest developments in this thread... lol... you guys are too much.

From listening to Sir Balin you'd think that retals against LaF didn't yield any acres.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for someone to tell me why what LaF does is worse than some warring alliance randomly FSing another alliance. I've been waiting for a over month at this point. Should I give up?

Chem population destruction is limited by the attacker's population, so if the attacker had low population (you said he was being killed?) then he'd get a corresponding low return on the CM.

Breaking the rules results in deletions.

Llaar is actually a fairly bad example. Recruiters should focus on recruiting outside the game. Recruiting from inside the game is practically automated.

Someone needs to tell LaF that grabbing other alliances isn't acceptable. The only acceptable form of alliance-alliance interaction is random FSes and gangbangs, and that's the way we like it!

The 50% pop bonus doesn't make a difference for res/ent ratios. However, not having +20% PCI could make a difference.

Good luck solo-killing in tourney.

The only thing that can "stop a farmer from revisiting you" with 100% certainty is deleting your country.

"Someone tell me why I should tolerate even a double tap when idiots like this can't leave well enough alone?"

Him acting like an idiot really has nothing to do with the issue of double tapping.

Btw, I'd go to war over a RoR too.

I just made a slight change. Does that fix it?

Meh, you're better off hitting suiciders.

Looks like it only brings up attacking news?

You're saying the demand isn't there? Demand was there last set. Turret prices are $178 now. If you're really worried about demand just sell your turrets below theo casher private market price.

On what basis? As far as I can tell from the market price graphs, turret prices are around the same every set.

Thanks for the pro-suiciding platitudes. You contribute so much to this thread.

I disagree. In the old game tourney routinely had over 200 players and casher was still dominant. Casher is dominant mostly because of the set length.

If you want to look at what's viable, oiler and TMBR are immediately out. The private market fills up too quickly for full set TMBR to work, but even if it did, you'd get suicided on because you'd be stuck as a theo with high NW.

Suiciding is a major problem on this server. Did you see how drastically the top ten changed last set in the final five minutes? The top two players even dropped all of their land to avoid suiciders. Farmer, casher, and indy have an advantage over other strats in that they can do effective last ten minute jumps. Techers can't really jump like that. Typically with a techer you'd start jumping before the last ten minutes, which means you're going to get suicided on.

Turrets appear to be fairly stable each set. Are $150 turrets enough for a good CI player to win? I'm going to say yes. Look at Battle chess (#82) and five day plan (#61) from last set. Both of those players didn't grab and had bad luck towards the end of the set, yet finished high enough to win a typical express reset. The last time the first place country had more NW than $21,324,350 was June 21st. The reason they didn't win last set was because food was very cheap and bus/res tech prices were absurdly low.



The bottom line is that suiciding directly affects player strategies (in your opinion, for the negative) and decreases the number of players on the server. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to stop most of the pointless suiciding that happens in express. Hopefully I'll get a better idea as to how to solve this problem as I play express a few more times.

As far as I've checked it out, the number of users of Earth Empires is roughly constant. The number of players on the alliance server is declining. For the most part, alliance leaders simply don't care to grow their alliances or even make the server fun to play.

We were all in the top 250!

"kill team" doesn't mean that you get killed pang

What's that supposed to mean?

No, I believe selling goods is FIFO.

his IP ban wore off a while ago

We removed it because we had to change the DOCTYPE of the page, which meant it wouldn't display correctly without changing the html. Of course, if you change the html of the page then a "classic" option is worthless.

For tidying one choice is: http://evolution2025.com/qzStatusTidy.php

200k sdi points? Where on earth are you going to get that from? Last reset there was only a total of 229k points sold.

Enjoy your IP ban.

You think you know something about this game or are important because you make a lot of noise? I was involved in fixing both tpt and the dict bonus, so don't lecture me about what you think you know.

You occasionally use economic words but you haven't a clue about how the economy of the game works.

Ok, I understand that you're new to this game so I'll help you out. Usually it's possible to guess with a high degree of accuracy what strategy a country was playing simply by looking at its news and final NW/government.

1 Ichitaka (#72) 397 $25,292,459 HG - theo casher
2 C C C P C O M M I E R O C K E T (#87) 500 $22,145,175 H - theo casher
3 Battle chess (#82) 14,358 $21,581,625 CG -CI

If one of my guesses is wrong and the player who ran the country wants to correct me, that's fine.

It looks like there was one techer in the top ten and zero theo techers. Let me reiterate that for you: ZERO THEO TECHERS.

What are you yapping about now?

Theos were aided by who for what reason?

Theos really don't finish over 21 M NW that often...

I'm enforcing a 0 hour retal window on LaF.

Have you tried looking at ingame news?

So what do you guys stand for besides doing really bizarre retals?

Drop rage for sof, you're missing out on a great opportunity here!

There were reports that reCAPTCHA (the captcha service we use) was cracked. This is just speculation, but I believe they changed the algorithm in response to that.

If you get one that isn't readable, just refresh and try the next one. I had to do that a few times already.

TheORKINMan FOR FORUM MODERATOR~

You know... I said that you "banded together to do random kills runs". You admit this. Why the hell were you so vitriolic in your post towards me? Do you have any idea how stupid you look now?

I'll repeat myself: I never said that you were super best buddy FDP4LIFEs. I said that you banded together for kill runs.
