Tech seems a lot lower this set. Turrets are low, but jets are high. Food is average. Looks good for casher perhaps?!

Oilers should make a killing. It's already at 130+.

$130 for oil is not a killing

Also I wouldn't jump to conclusions about what the market's going to be like, it's too early to tell. Tech looks cheap right now because a single guy dumped a bunch of bus/res at $2500 but that doesn't tell us what price tech is really gonna settle at

The last set I've played, oil started at 60 for 1 1/2 days. So to see it at 130 now, I think that says a lot.
You can compare yourself:

Also, it's more than one person dumping tech at $2500. These tech averages are far lower than last set:

i don't think it matters. too early to draw any conclusions

lol it is thursday, and the oil market is the most volatile market on the server

this guy...

Am I the only one who finds mrford incredibly amusing?!

I think so.

id rather be a fluff than eat a fluff!

that's just sound logic.

Just because you'd 'rather' doesn't mean you don't do both.

also sound logic.

I so love express server, lol

Regardless of which I am, it is better than whatever mental dissability you have that keeps you from using basic logic when it comes to this game.

My basic logic got me t10 as a dictator, which I have you quoting as hard to do. You have yet to give props because of your ego.

You had 18k acres. It wasn't a spectacular finish imo, but if you need my approval you will be waiting for a while.


Every statistical analysis post you make leaves me scratching my head wondering how you put so much effort into this and still don't get it.

even when hes trying to troll me its funny.

I suppose if I had to give you props on one thing it is that when you ask a question now you actually listen to the responces, unlike a month or 2 ago where you would ask a question then explain why all the answers were wrong even though you had no clue.

Maybe that is progress. But a 18.7k acre anything should of finished better than that imo. You were hyper active and spent a ton of time calculating. I don't consider that skill. Maybe others do.

And even if I wanted to give you props for that finish, you go and make a thread like this with rediculious set predictions based on a market that us so young and thin... it is hard to give props to someone who does fluff like that.

Haha, I don't need your approval,.. I'm merely making a point that you live in your own little world. All you do is run your mouth of how great you are but I've yet to see any of YOUR results on Express.

There's not a single dictator that has ever made t10 on Express with 18k or less land. So I'm not really sure what your point is.

I challenge you to find a post of me bragging about my skills.

Jesus, you can't even get an insult right.

If you can evaluate my play and say it wasn't that great of a finish, you're implying that you could have done it better.

I'm looking through the history, and perhaps one of the top 5 players to ever play this game 'Oldman' placed 9th (2 sets ago)

9 SoFarAway 29 22,181 acres $21,428,808 IG 966

And I recall him referring to a 23 mil net finish some time ago, but I don't remember where it's at.

My finish was:

8 Seven of Nine 20 18,741 acres $20,439,051 IG 1091

And I'm not bragging at all. I'm just trying to figure out what you mean by my finish wasn't that great for 18k A.

I keep forgetting to play Dict so I can see how difficult it really is.

Someone who sucks at basketball can identify someone else that sucks at basketball without implying they are better. You are just reaching now with your hear say.

You are getting better, as I would hope anyone who puts this much effort into a game would, but your theories and views of game mechanics and the market are still baffling.

You can't compare your finish really because most that run dict are smart enough to convert to destock, and even more still realize it is one of the worst governments for solo servers. You were running a gimic strat and accomplished your goal, congratulations. But don't expect me to drop to one knee because you finished t10 as a dict on a server with less than 120 players on it generally. I base my opinion of other players around their grasp of game mechanics and sustainable success. Not one set where conditions could be either perfect or terrible for a given strat. Your display of comprehension of game mechanics, while technically sound, are practically all over the place, evident by this thread and others.

But hey, you don't need my approval, so I'm not sure why you keep responding. I'm just a warlord that tests startups on this server and runs landfarms.

all the above is a min of 3k per tech

and?

i think the idea is that tech actually IS expensive and the conclusion celphi jumped to in the "OP" was wrong.

you picked a good set to tech start your casher in.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH, now you ruined it :P

Actually, I think I did a horrible job of it. I have nothing to compare it to.

I'm still really, really pissed about my primary finish.

Me too. got hit 3 times, all hits on me were stupid, but combined to prevent me from winning >:(

i have to be careful when i say things like this, though, because i don't want to lessen eManny's win, he played a great country and being attacked is part of the game and he got attacked a few times too.

It seems winning as techer is very hard to do on that server, lesson learned.

I saw his country early, and kept an eye on it. I knew it was going to be up there. You both still had awesome finishes.

Just because you sell tech above 3k doesn't mean the market is higher. If you look at the averages, they are all still below 3k.

But it's been at 4k for about 4 hrs now.

I vote for cheaper tech. This 'holding turns' thing is balls.

Shut your face, you'll hold your turns and like it!

Only for cheaper tech :D

get crunk in this mf



yea

ok

what

we need to start a gofund me account called "hire a hooker for ford" so he stop bein so mad or some weed or somethin

lol @ deezy

Turns Left 254
Turns Taken 440
Turns Stored 0
Rank 34
Networth $842,290
Land 4111

You can bet for sure, I'm waiting on tech prices to drop. No point in spending $2900 when eventually techers will become impatient and try to undercut one another to about 2.2k by tomorrow.

"DeathFromAvove"

I have 360(211) w/ 99 turns played. :)

Sounds like you're going to need to buy some expensive tech pretty soon

I've never seen Ebert00 this low in net before:

36 DeathFromAvove (#2) 3895 $833,135 HG

Perhaps a new strategy?

I have 0 stored. So I can wait quite awhile.

We shall see, blid.

Read the country name again...

I think it's him, because on the thread 'who is copying me?' Ebert00 thanks Warster for 'taking out the trash' & I'm thinking he said that because of:

PS Sep 3, 19:52 Seven of Nine (#11) DeathFromAvove (#2) 147 A
PS Sep 3, 22:01 Seven of Nine (#11) DeathFromAvove (#2) 88 A

(The fake Seven of Nine #11 was deleted).

Have you ever seen him 5x a person before?

He 3x'd me once a long time ago. Ended badly for him.

Nope, but I've never seen him at that low net before either. Maybe he was provoking GS?! idk.

I'm not sure anyone loves GS's as much as you :P

This is the funny thing.
