The market feels emptier then usual this set. No jets, No turrets, no food. :(

Because casher is so strong, probably.

I've always thought that tournament was the most balanced market in terms of potential. If you look through the records. Techers, Indys, cashers and farmers have all won.

I don't think the boost to republic casher will make that big of a difference this set.

I think commie and farmer are a bit weaker than casher and techer, generally. Casher has been on a roll lately:

Round 37 - MayTheMassXAccelerationBeWithYou (#18) - rep casher
Round 36 - Swamp Guardian (#47) - rep casher
Round 35 - The Marshes (#21) - demo casher
Round 34 - MayTheMassXAccelerationBeWithYou (#16) - theo techer
Round 33 - Electric ladyland (#34) - rep casher

I don't think a farmer has won.

Has commie won this year? Farmer probably hasn't won in 3 4 years.

think just more people went casher and techer this set pushing the prices up for other goods
