No seriously I'm genuinely interested in what earth history I may have missed, because now I've had a chance to look through eestats and get a better picture. These guys seemed to put on quite a show. Perhaps I'm just naive though.
I just had a quick flick through previous resets. I see two paradigm countries land trading to 100k back in 2011 -

They Both grabbed around 260k. Pretty cool. Similar in numbers, but not really "seen this before" material.
I see Ebert getting 216k back in June '16 -

Very nice grabbing, but again not "seen this before" material.
The 100m NW sol guy must have had a ton of stock. He stopped grabbing over 2 weeks ago, cashing on 120k acres that alone gives him around 100bn. The big LaF guy was in a similar spot, grabbed a bit longer but must have had huge stock. "Suicider" seems a bit crass!
Then the tiny demo, how the hell does a country like that grab so much in such a short space of time. Dude must have been owning the market.
Again, I'm a bit of a n00b as I only played back in the day when things were very different, so these numbers all look crazy ridiculous to me. Hell I barely broke 200m in the LCN reunion set having stopped grabbing at 50k because I thought that was huge. Lol.
And then all of the other supporting countries, that had no right grabbing the acreage they did. Does nobody run defence any more? Being an ex-LCN guy, It was pretty much obligatory back in the day. Has the game changed that much?
But yeah if there is something in earth history comparable to what happened here, I'd love to go back and study the news. I am a stats nerd like that :)
So, respectfully, where/when was something akin to this seen before?
