Woot!! im mumber 18. i think i should have started first off tech then converted into indi with my buildings. Im puting up more BPT next time around 80 and not 60 maybe go as far to 100 just depends. Anyone wanting to take a look at my previous country can do so maybe give me advice. I put my settings to public as for my past countries :P

1. I know i messed up in my tech area, quite buying what i needed
2. Should have maybe kept my tax rate to 35% instaid of 40%
3. My BPT should have been a little higher 20 too more
4. Should always maintain to play the market better

Any discussions about this feel free to shoot it up :P

I never tried all-x CI.

But for your situation. Your tech was far behind normal level.

Since you playing non-grabbing, so I think you should sell max you have and buy more tech at earlier stage.

If you focus more on tech level. You should able to finish 16M or maybe more.

@ shanelee, yea right on i was opposing to myself whether or not to start off with tech strat or just straight buy up tech just was not sure and needed a second opinion "Thx". As far as my tax rate goes i looked on wiki and there is nothing mentioning about a good moderate tax rate for each strat only people will leave if infact you increase the tax. so... might keep it at default 35%.

im confused how well theo cashers do, with the tech disadvantages, over reps. i mean i know reps get attacked more for being reps, and obviously the theo cashers arent all X, it just boggles me.

99 is still better then purchasing on the private market

I'm doing theo cashier.

Is not bad though when going on destock and resell.

If you able to camp for last 6 hour, you may gain extra 2M - 5M networth.

The military price was suck bro.

Commie rely on the market price very much.

when someone beats 38.4m nw I will try again. express just takes too much time for me to try hard every week. also, whoever said CI is dependent on the market is wrong, casher/techer are affected way more by market prices

I'm trying, but its really hard to be able to play a perfect set and have the market in my favour as well. Even if that happened, 38.4 is going to be hard to beat.

Ill keep trying though - someday, who knows

Congrats to whoever was Everyday Im Shuffling. Glad I offered you a tech alliance. :)

I had a good round, finished near the top despite a blunder or two, and someone knocking out 500k of my nw at the end for some reason. Couldn't have topped #1 though no matter what.

Thanks, bild. I played Everyday Im Shuffling. I got attacked as well at the end, no idea why considering I was above 20mil nw at the time.

Slash, bakku played commie indy - its going to be very tough for any other strat to come close

He got attacked by Fast Five, someone who he grabbed early on. It was in the last 30 minutes of the round.

I got attacked by Apolloland, it was after I had largely destocked and had 17m net. I had grabbed him earlier in the round, but he had already attempted 1 retal before.

just a PS in both cases.

Nah, it was just one failed PS. If he really wanted to stop me it would have been worse. I I think he attempted an end of set retal since I grabbed him early on. Thats fair enough i guess.

I think I'll try CI this set - depending on how things line up early on. If not its tech as usual for me since I am clueless about how to play a winning casher

I look forward to playing with/against you again soon, afaik.
I stopped Express for a bit - but I cant stay away without giving a shot at breaking bakku's record. Im still quite far from it though
