It must suck to be that stupid and unable to find ways to net with all the trading and bots available for land. I knock on traders, but at least they have to know what to do with the land.

Buyouts are for fluffes and no legit netgainer will ever respect a girly buyout finish.

Pretty easy to see I am. I have been suicided for over 10k acres this set too despite being all-x. Considering making it my last on this boring server.

Either way, how many grabs has LaF made on itself? That is different from a buyout how? Lol. You arnt the authority on what is legit or not. Have fun in your own way. Make the game fun in your own way.

Yeah, this game is pretty much a dead stick now. Think it's time some of us go Mad Max on the server and take whatever we can from the old civilization.

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

Market manipulation is a thing, always has been. Buyouts are just one aspect of it. So is crashing it and driving prices, etc.

Land trading while specifically excluding countries outside of your tag to gain an advantage is definitely worse. And hey, it even got some people who were sick of being excluded to join the tag doing the excluding. Win win...for them.

There are those who are just trying to enjoy what is left of the server.

Then there are those that would rather set it on fire than just leave.

No? This is your first reset? Funny to see SPY and Medical selling at 7500 before oil could be used to boost private market. Not to say what you claim isn't your honest opinion, but I've seen all kinds of shady fluff

We are telling you quite clearly we have identified the buyout countries and they aren't Laf.

Also, buyouts are not even close to the same as land trading (again, I don't land trade) ... As land trading will NOT give you first, you have to trade and earn it, but a worthless buyout can indeed give someone first without any effort or earning.

All the matters is laf's opinion.

I have been playing since set 1, I sometimes take a few sets off for personal reasons.

If you look at sell times and net worth, you would know that it's not LaF that are doing the buyouts, plus, our techers aren't that bad.

I don't want to publicly shame the Alliance that is doing it, cause it would require posting proof while I am currently in an airplane crossing the pafific typing on my phone.

However, the Alliance in question has always been known to run buyouts with countries ran by their pets, mostly llaar and his cats.

This is an alliance server, not primary. Netting is a team effort here. If an alliance chooses to boost one country rather than going for alliance wide goals, that's their right. There is nothing shameful about what is being done here.

Actually kat, rockman is in Laf and is evidence of the intellectual openness that is so unique to Laf. Like I said only laf's opinions matter, so while I consider rockman's comment worthy and the rest of the non Laf comments worthless, rockman is still wrong. Buyouts are shameful and talentless :p
Land trading is for fluff kids too, but buyouts are ten levels more n0b hey look at me im an ffa fluff kid than trading even

O.o

That was uncalled for. Since when do other clans not respect different views within their clans? I, for one, just trained two new players to net for the first time here and they both disagreed with a piece of strategy and chose to go the other way in a few places. Yeah, it might have lost them each around 50mil+ nw, but they'll finish in the t50 and I respect them for making their own choices. :D

I agree strongly with Rockman. This is a team play server. Whatever goal a tag wishes to pursue, there is nothing wrong with it as long as it is within the rules set by the admins.

I didn't say it was LaF this set, I said it has happened in the past. I doubt it would take much digging to go back 18 months give or take where a Herbs was close to a win and some FA, some buy outs and some poorly timed attacks by other players farming their own tag to steal stock to boost, may or may not have happened...

truth. if you want to rail against buyouts, play primary.

anyway his best bet is to public destock, no? as a demo with so few acres. so his $9b today in buyout can't be worth more then $30m NW.

there was at least 2 buyouts, not just one

May 31, 17:00 May 31, 18:00 $1020 $10,000 $9,507.73 1,182,995
Jun 1, 14:00 Jun 1, 15:00 $600 $10,000 $9,616.30 883,039

Jun 1, 19:00 Jun 1, 20:00 $550 $550 $550.00 532,242
Jun 01/16 19:14:00 Medical 329,693 @ $550 = $181,331,150 Standing Order Purchase
Jun 01/16 19:35:00 Medical 202,549 @ $550 = $111,401,950 Standing Order Purchase

and thats when the person who bought the med tech probably sold it back to the person it was bought from

the quantities sold roughly line up

PDM did it during the wars to get a top 10 player out of a wrecked set . . . sadly the player we vaulted was copper, who was why we got wrecked to begin with, but Irony yo.

laf has proven that top respectable networths are achieved by economic efficiency - getting to a land goal early, stocking, and playing markets properly, and then destocking properly. no buyout joke clan can ever beat xin or ss or ensh's legit non trading scores. and that's laughable.
the buyout game is old news. you guys are blacking out here.
it's been done forever, with laughable results, and at best case some mild results that still don't keep pace with the top laf legit finishes. and land trading is for fluff kids too

Idk who made the rules about what a "legit" netter was. That is like saying, "I used a shovel to clear this driveway, but you used a truck. I am clearly better cause I used more hard work even though my results aren't as good. I am a true driveway clearer."

No rules were broken. Get over yourself. Stop trying to change this game to suit how YOU want it to be played.

nope, you are either in half brain mode or quarter brain mode. i'm talking about INDIVIDUAL market play that INDIVIDUALs themselves, and not their alliances, engaged in, to improve their networth through knowledge of the markets.

having your alliance buy your tech at 10000 IS NOT IMPROVING YOUR NETWORTH BY YOURSELF or through knowledge of the markets. ... at least stay in half brain mode, cmon.

lol good one ... Once more for the slower ones -
Buying bushels as a demo and trying to cycle them is
1. Done by only one person
2. Takes talent
3. Carries with it serious risk

Selling tech for high and having alliance mates buy it
1. Done by multiple people
2. Takes no talent
3. Carries with it zero risk.

So once more, I'm not suggesting buyouts shouldn't be done ... Im making a very clear statement that they take no talent. Simple as that. Spin it all you want cry baby who always recycles the same insults at every single person on this forum.

Oh and funny that you are involved in the buyouts.

But once more for you guys that want to talk about other servers - that's neither here not there, but what remains is:
Buying bushels as a demo and trying to cycle them is
1. Done by only one person
2. Takes talent
3. Carries with it serious risk

Selling tech for high and having alliance mates buy it

We are literally talking about the difference between xin and bug. Lol.
