2025

Never have I felt more British...well not since my butler, Jives, got shot in the arm in that unfortunate grouse shooting accident (the times I told him not to wear that grouse coloured overcoat). 'Don't worry sir it's only a flesh wound' said Jives. I tried to make Jives a nice cup of Earl Grey as we waited for the Ambulance but I couldn't work the stinking thing. What do you call it? - the tea maker - kettle thats it - stinking, wretched thing - Jives usually makes it of course.
Anyway Jives waited 16 hours for an ambulance - that's socialist health care for you! We'd have none of that back in the good old Edwardian times - a quick cauterisation and he'd have been good to go. Jives did survive but they had to take the arm off - he was never much good as a butler after that, fortunately post Brexit it was much easier to lay poor old Jives off, no stinking European Court to worry about these days! Taking back control from those fascists on the continent with their civil rights and employment laws! We didn't build the greatest Empire the world ever saw with employment laws you know. They couldn't manage to beat us in the 1940s and by golly we gave them a black eye again in 2016 and won't be propping up their unelected Euro empire any more with our great British pound notes! Tally ho I'm off to throw some more European travel guides on the fireplace, we tend not to use the gas heating here anymore its so frightfully expensive these days for some confounded reason.

Just putting it out there to think about.
On the other hand maybe I was overreacting to a rare set with very high tech prices - I had drunk a bottle of cremant last night - I'm mourning the death of my pet Hamster.

With the dwindling player base the scenario is going to reocurr more and more, like in team at the moment, where players simply can't buy the tech they need if there aren't enough techers.
Fix this by making tech available to buy in the private market. It would work in a similar way to military so it would be more expensive than the typical public prices.

It just seems weird that if I need Tanks I can buy tanks. If I'm desperate for oil I can buy the hugely expensive private oil
But if I need tech I can't buy tech.
Also make all servers like express so you can sell oil on private

There's a 5 mile long, 12 hour plus wait queue to walk past the coffin, people are queuing day and night. In fact there is now a queue (known as The Line of Duty) to join the queue (known as the QE2 [get it?] to join the queue

Do you know the royal family employ a royal butt wiper, also King Charles has 6 hardboiled eggs cooked for him every morning he inspects them all until he finds one that is perfectly cooked and eats that one and the rest are then thrown away - FACT

queue for queue

Fortunately King Charles III stepped in immediately to do the job now so no stock market crash

Don't bring spies to a tank fight

Awesome score Geta - well done to rest of the top players, teams and OWSLA. Nice to sign off with a team win before my break I'm taking a couple months off.

Flustered mustard bustard

Congrats to winners - and good to see the long awaited return of HCaFC

It doesn't really matter...I mean the alternative is to give the B team a new name - but they are still the same players with the same allegiances.

Flop goes the ferret

It took me about 20 spy ops. But so what I got to do this after which you stopped spy opping me (and your friend and mentor Maj1)

PS Army Hamsters (#96) RatZilla (#8) 2347A (3351A)

So much for weak, fat target, this 'weak, fat target' hasn't even played express for months but still finished 3rd and you play every week and can't even beat the bots or get in the top 20.

I wasn't even playing properly, just stocked cash all set (hence why you could steal it), I think this was my first game since the express rules changed like 32 bushels and starting with a bunch of turns.

Ratski I don't mean to sound cruel but face facts you simply will never understand this game, its a waste of time you being here, you're just a nuisance to people who can actually play the game and you waste so much of people's time, a lot of that is people actually trying to help you.

Use your ban to go play something more on your intellectual level there is this cool game called snakes and ladders I suggest you check that out.

I actually didn't have any evidence and the other guy was at 20 million plus NW at the time so I thought is this really Ratskis buddy or just a coincidence? I should have tried harder to get a spy op on him as his friends are always rainbows.

It's such a fluffing lame way to play and a waste of turns for the players who are stealing. Oh no you stole 100k bushels what am I going to do? It's not like I don't make several times more bushels than that every turn. Oh no you stole a million dollars - FFS if anyone is not making several times a million per turn either in cash, food, oil or whatever on Sunday in express then they are a fluff player.

So whenever Ratski decides to mess me around by stealing money, food and oil he always invites a buddy of his along to steal too. If they were attacking using military units it would he coordination / collusion and they could get purpled for it. Is spy coordination a thing? Can mods see spy ops and deal with it or does the hidden nature of spy ops make it impossible to police?

Oyez oyez oyez

You are in the wrong place for your crusade, you do know there are no bots in team right? And as for encouraging more attacks, its been nothing but attacks in team for at least the last 4 sets, we just finished a server war which is still continuing kind of...we sure as hell don't need more attacks to add to the many attacks already happening. How many attacks do you want???

I'm sure I left my really small violin around here somewhere.

I wonder what Marshall is doing now

Congrats to me for getting parking lotted half way through the set and still getting a 65M finish and 3rd place.

Congrats to OWSLA for 2nd place despite aforementioned ABing and having a player killed.

And Congrats to the winners - well played!

Thanks thats probably it, for the bushels at least. I'll turn spies off and see what happens to my income

Yeah maybe, but I thought food decay didn't kick in until you held approx 10 turns worth of food but it kicks in as soon as I play turns.

And it doesn't explain the decrease in income as I don't have 2 billion cash so there should be no money decay.

I cash 10 turns, over those 10 turns my income and bushels produced per turn reduces, after 10 turns I sell my bushels, my income and production goes back up to what it was before I cashed the 10 turns.

If I cash another 10 turns this happens again and my income and bushel production again goes up after I sell the bushels.

Can anyone explain what is happening?

My population hasn't changed, I'm producing nothing except a few spies per turn but this isn't the cause.

If you know what country they played in the previous set click on top players - prev reset then the icon next to their country and you can see their profile there.

Funny, I played more team sets in UIS than Getafix has played in OWSLA, I suppose that makes me a UIS and, by extension, a Darkness player even though I've left the tag?

Getafix is no longer in the tag so I'm not going to tell him what to do

No I'm not going to say I won't ever have my friends Getafix, Zack or anyone else who doesn't like Darkness in my team, you don't get to pick my team but there is certainly no plan for Getafix to retag.

My team is primarily all ex though I leave that open to all members and don't enforce it, all I expect is that they don't hit friendly tags and this set I reiterated to all players don't hit Darkness / Party whatever you do as we have a UNAP.

If Getafix was negotiating last set then don't forget we were still in a war at that time and in an alliance against you guys Getafix is much more active and involved in certain channels than I am and a better and more dedicated warring player than me so if he took it upon himself to negotiate or push for anything then he did that as a team player at that time. It doesn't follow that he's still my player after he's left to do his own thing.

This is Symba and Superfly one day when they finally realise

Ha ha it's impossible to form a team without players who have some sort of beef with Darkness.

I get mad when Symbolic suicides me and I have a pact with him that he's chosen not to honour. It's a team game, if you're tagged up then it's the whole tag. If Symbolic had chosen to play untagged like Getafix then I wouldn't be complaining.
You're just dirty players and it's funny how you then feel you can justify it...Well Symbolic started out trying to do that then just admitted he did it out of spite and wants me to quit. Kind of undermines your already weak excuses for him.

I don't know what the point is...you can force me to war but I can't force you to net, either I war or I quit so either way you win. Do you understand?

Tbh I think you've all been playing too long and are bored of this game. So long as you can get a little bit of pleasure from ruining it for other players then alls good eh?

Actually no, not that you deserve an explanation but my tag spots have always gone to whoever has asked first with current players getting priority. Ask anyone who's played in OWSLA, which has always had players rotating in and out apart from me and Silver who has also played since the tag got founded.

It's not about picking the 'best players', the players I have right now are plenty good enough to win team without Getafix. I haven't even spoken to Getafix since he decided not to tag up. I didn't even know his # this round.

Basically Symbolic got so mad that he decided to punish Getafix by wrecking my netting set. IDK how you thought this would work - that I would blame Getafix? that I would blame myself? That Getafix would be consumed with remorse that you ABed me because of his actions?
None of those things are going to happen

You had a pact with me, I'm not Getafix.

Getafix left the tag because he wanted to keep fighting you.

Turns out Getafix had the right idea, I was the stupid one for believing you'd stick to your word.

No one is ever going to believe a thing you say now.

Turns out Darkness's UNAP isn't worth fluff. fluff you you bunch of dirty motherfluffers.
