Oh, hey deez! Good to see you! Yeah, I've played well with pretty well everything at some point. Cashers are my go-to though.

No argument from me, fordy! :D Teach me to n3tg41nz.

llaar -- You're alive, mate! I haven't heard from you in ages. Bug, neither. Good to hear you're both still puttering about.

fordy -- hahaha, hear that. I don't think I've played/finished an FFA set since.. like 2014? Man time flies... how've you been?

KoH & Cripp - good to see you guys around!

I've been around this game for 24 years. Anyone who's still around after that amount of time is old in the context of this game lol.

Aha, fair enough. Well, I'm actually fiddling around with a country this round. We'll see if I remember to play this weekend - busy for a big chunk of it and I have a mittful of turns stored.

Nice to see some of the old guard still kickin' around here (llaar!, fordy, SuperFly, Mose-y (when did you come back?!))

How's everyone hanging these days?? (No, not coming back, just making sure everyone knows I'm still alive).

Cathankins -- I don't know you, but hi. And yes, that's my MO these days - too busy with work to remember to play again.

Mrrendmanbhs -- 7 weeks : )~

How's everyone doing? Is SuperFly still kicking? How about ebert? Where's the old crew at?

Hopefully you can give express ago and dethrone Gerdler from his NW throne.

Thanks bro! Good to see you still kicking around!

As for Gerdler, nah, I won't catch him for a while. I do, however, want to see what Express looks like in-game these days so I'll be trying it out again this round.

Just wondering, as I started a commie strategy on the express server last time around for a quick test, done a ton of research first, but then after a while of building, literally half of my income was being spent on buying food per turn .... is it best then to ensure I have some farms to just enough cover the cost of feeding my population and military??

Best build for a Commie is Indy (Industrial Complexes). Your build should be Construction Sites and ONLY ICs. No farms or other buildings. Produce military (jets and turrets only, tbh) and sell then for money to buy whatever else you need (oil, tech, food, etc.)

You'll want your Indy tech >150 first, then bus/res tech >150 to boost your turn income/reduce your turn deficit, etc.

Surviving, I guess you could say. Marriage is toast and I am single again but my career has flourished lately. I guess take the bad with the good, although I'd rather the healthy home life over the healthy work life, but so it goes.

How have you been?

Where tf are Vic and SF? Are either of them still around somewhere?

Thanks for the update, G! Did I see something about allies coming back? It's been like... 14 months since I last played.

Things have been up and down. My marriage blew up in colossal fashion at the end of the 2020 and it coincided with me losing my job. But ~13 months later, I am single and have an even better-paying position now so I dunno. Pros and cons? The dating since for mid-30s dudes is shyte bc of COVID, etc. so I work and read and that's the extent of it. Maybe I'll give the next set a go.

Originally posted by Gerdler:

Hey CX! long time no C!

How's things?

I think since last time you been around there has been some changes, such as we start with 180 turns now but get no bonus turns every few hours(this adds 50-150 turns depending on how active u used to be, ~150 turns for the least active ones), we start IN GDI and can opt out of it, the bots dont buy tech at prices that are not worth it for them which means tech prices are high as usual on wednesday to friday but they start crashing on saturday and remain low all sunday.

Ohh and the bots dont all jump at once, it's now spread out over the last 20-24 hours of the set and depends on bot strat.

2nd place was a fat, fat CI. Too much wasted land though if you can't win with a CI on that acreage.
