Yup, that's why I made SDI lol

Since I made a catastrophic error that ruined my finish, I've been sort of taking advantage of my misfortune and spying the top 10 players so I can learn more about what it takes to win in this game

It seems to me that you can either play in a style that affords you a chance to win, or you can do things like waste money buying SDI

You can't really do both though because you will lose to someone like Tmac or Gerdler who is playing a more aggressive, more offensive, and more efficient country

The best way to avoid having to buy troops/tanks/SDI is to be very good at jumping out of NW range after multi tapping someone. If you stay in range, you are going to have a hard time defending against someone who is determined to retal.

To be clear, I took all the double- taps personally this round. I wish that it was #44 instead but one can't have everything.

That’s not really true, my 144mil CI that won a few sets ago was the only time I have ever bought SDI, I wasn’t even in GDI, and because of it I took huge risks that actually ended up paying off.

Nice LB, that's awesome

I just want everyone to know that I just withdrew good from the market without enough bushels to run one turn. I lost 5mil nw. Also I accidentally sold my stocked bushels at market price and had 10mil sell at 37. FML

Triple whammy :-/

Sounds like something I would do...I should trademark those moves.

What the funk n wagnalls LB?

LB suicided himself, pesky griefer!

That's almost as bad as accidently double tapping the wrong country and getting hit with 15 missiles :(

You shouldn't, you already have a fanboy :-(

I think that move loses you about 30m nw at least. xD

Yes likely, rebuilding more than 10,000 acres when you have 60k land is very expensive

The last two rounds I've spent all my bonus on lowering expenses and I'm wondering about spending bonus points on building costs instead in a future round. I think next time I try a dictator farmer I will bonus building costs for at least half the round and try to get a lot more land

Unless you have SDI….. :-)

Some
Big numbers for the top three countries. Looking forward to seeing where they finish.

The highest I see in the eestats history is around 165m NW

I wonder if one of the two big cashers will top that?

1 Cashing (#22) 66,692 $154,397,397 RG
2 Mario Day (#44) 65,607 $153,639,654 RG

Good battle going

It's a real disappointment IMO.

I think they will both break 165m NW which is amazing

LB, at least your mishap that cost you 5mil NW wont change your finish position , you've got third locked up
