According to the general you have over 99% chance of success if you oversend by 10%. Semantically this could mean you have 100% chance of success. iirc this tooltip used to say 99.9%, although im not 100% sure about that. Either way if it was changed it was either found to be incorrect or they changed it to make it more understandable???

maybe 99.9% is easy to misunderstand somehow? and 99% is not?

Either way dont think I ever failed with 10% oversend unless it was possible to explain by defender or defenders allies buying up between my op and the hit I made. Or that I plain miscalculated, like forgot their weapons tech, def bonus or dict bonus.

I think if there was a 99% chance of success we would notice a fail every now and again that shouldnt happen. if its 99.9% it means you have to perfectly calculate 1000 hits between every fail and for 5 of those hits the defender or his allies will, just by pure chance, have been online to buy defense. so that 1 fail of 1000 hits would drown in your other reasons for failing.

Just send extra jets, we have commies pumping jets out of their factories and putting them up for sale every single day

Who cares if an extra 100k or 200k jets go up in flames, at least you will get the acres you are after

I take the statement to mean I have somewhere between 99.00001%-99.99999% chance of success if I send 110%. It could mean 100%, but why not say 100% chance then?

Any idea what % chance you have at 100%? Lol. I always multiply by 1.1 to be sure.

Hey Fellow Fascist Oil selling players on Primary- stop undercutting eachother on the prices. If we all just agree on some nice inflated price, we will all continue to eventually sell our oil in the order it becomes available, for a hefty profit. y'all are crashing the markets early and i'm swimming in reserves

Dont forget this for all the mundane break spam:

If you get hostile ops on you and you dont know who they are comming from, assuming you are in GDI, you can check who is sending them by seeing who broke GDI on you, remember 2 hostile acts break GDI(one way). So what you do is you try and GS people that have not hit you over the course of the round.

So you can try one number say #9, put in 1 troop, Guerilla strike, prepare attack. GDI will stop you right there if its not this person. if you can GS him it means he broke GDI on you. You dont actually have to GS him to know this. All you have to do is see if the prepare attack screen pops up or if it gives the GDI-error message. Happy hunting!

Gerdler should we assume someone is doing harmful ops on you?

I never said that. You can make whatever assumptions you want out of the information that you are exposed to.

If you recieve hostile ops and you dont think its from someone you've hit, you may take the steps that I've proposed to be sure who it is, so you dont have to make any assumptions. I repeat:

That's frustrating Delphi, maybe one of his allies bought up D between your op and hit 🤷‍♂️

Nope, it doesn't matter how much his allies bought up cos I had considered the max defence contribution that could be contributed by the allies

I think this is probably the 2nd or 3rd hits that I can't understand the failure, and that small failure chance had to pop up at my finale big hit lol

Depending on his strategy, stocking is important, grabbing costs resources so you have to find the balance err sweet spot where you stop grabbing and move to stocking phase

I hope that means he's going to stop selling his food for a while :)

I have no math but I feel like stocking at this point would be more desirable for a democracy or a fascist farmer and not a dictatorship

the beautiful thing about those guys that go all jetter to retal is that you can ROR them and by ROR I mean farm them down for exposing themselves to having 20m jets and only 4 m turrets.

Ethics just aren't what they used to be man. I got 2 targets left on my list, then I stop hitting or am cursed for eternity and thrown unceremoniously into a lake of fire. Guilt is a hell of a drug.

You break gdi you better have great spies and high sdi as well as tanks or you suffer the consequences, also it seems that as soon as you get into a war both parties become farm land within a week anyways

I’ll give this netter elite the same treatment that he gave #66, #35, #80, etc…

And to address Rocky’s comment about the two countries who war becoming farmland; let me remind all parties that my extremely late start last round resulted in two players farming me and they paid dearly so farming me for 2-4K land will cost you a lot more as I have plenty of missiles and spies to go around….

"Aggressively retal"?

You must mean a 2:1 retal or something unconventional like that? You can't possibly mean that retalling 1:1 even within a reasonable time frame is somehow 'aggressive' given that you are the aggressor?

We are here to pillage from the weak and if you went and bought 40m jets to retal but only left 3 m turrets at home to protect your land it looks like you are weak and farm land by server standards.

Cheers.

Just out of curiosity has Gerdler and Requiem reported this as griefing and to the sanctions team? Clearly the intent here is disruption of the game....

btw I do not know Cumorah personally so this is just me making a funny here because Gerdler and Requiems are the sanction squad!

Hi Galleri! Long time no see how you doing amiga? As you usual I am here chilling and defending my actions or in this case thoughts cuz if I act on them and copy my peers I am a bad guy. But if my peers do it they are just elite netters blowing off steam or playing the game as intended lol

Btw Requiem wants me sanctioned cuz he figures if he joins Gerdy's crusade; Gerdy will unban his bomb comrades :P. So for the sake of the game don't samction me and dont unban the bomb lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

Agree. The all jets strategy might get you a retal once, but you end up being destroyed, especially if other countries smell blood.

Semantics, bottom line he got retaled.
