Thats 11. You're cheating Xin :p

Karim, another 45m networth? That would put him at 165? I dont think thats possible. If it is he will win this set

21/33 ops got through. What the hell.

How high can his SPAL be? I have 2.6m. My allies have 3.3 in total.
How much more do i actually need to stop this crap?

Bloody hell. Gogy just stole around 350k tech from me.
This is going to hurt my finish

Its weird that so many got though considering i have over 2.6m spies and my allies have lots too

Tourney is a lot of luck if you want to post a good score. Take a risk and hope for the best. Keep high spies - as high as possible since its the most damaging now. ABs are pretty useless.

Its harder to come by land though. Both me and blid would have broken 40m this set if the ghost acres dr wasnt in place

The record is almost certainly crumbling. Nicely done!
Curious how he stocked and destocked in this damn bushel market.

Lets do a top 10 pick and see how many of the countries we get right. 1 point per country selected correctly, -1 for an incorrect pick. Positions dont matter.

In no particular order:

1. Awesome 2013
2. Quarantine
3. AustAgder
4. Promise Land
5. Happy New Year 2013
6. Keep Calm and Press Cash
7. Eevil War Machine
8. The James Craig
9. Invisible Cities
10. Listen to what Xinhuan says

Looks like gogy is stealing tech from everyone. He was at it for 3 days on me too. First day lost about 100k. Next day 50k. The third day he failed 19/20 ops i think and then gave up

Corruption bonus sound like something that might work. Buy bushels till you have full resource decay. Sell off without losing any % of stock worth when selling off when bushels are still high and then just keep cash.

The only thing is, if food remains cheap, then the techers who took turns will finish ahead. Having said that, looking at recent sets - food will always spike

If i ever decide to tech again i will try corruption bonus

I think the techers might surprise. Tech is still expensive.

They might break 130m

Almost identical predictions too!

1. Awesome 2013
2. AustAgder (just cant see such a fat farmer not finishing higher than a non-farmer)
3. Quarantine

Thats because they arent playing it right. Last set Skee got to 27m with an all-x rep.

Rob

I think very very few are above 40m. In fact I think less than a handful are above 30m

Excluding weapons tech of course

Among the worst sets to be a casher. However, I think cashing is a little overpowered in primary so cashers will still do well despite high prices of all the commodities at some point

The best finishing farmer last set, oldman was at 41k acres last set at this point. Right now the fattest farmer is closer to 50k.

I almost didnt wake up. Got up 5 mins before the end to see quite a bit of my bushels unsold
I thought Viva was going to hit an amazing score, so i half gave up till i saw him get PSed massively - it was an amazing commie set

Whats up with this SPAL thing? Why does it seem to me that it works differently in Primary than any other server. In Express or Tourney with a good SPAL, i rarely fail but in Primary no matter how much spies I have i seem to fail more

Once tech starts going down - its downhill pretty fast till it gets to around 1.8k from past experience.
Military is down too, only food up dramatically

I'll take this any day over the previous situation of super expensive tech and military

The only thing is farmers are way too strong at these prices so damn early in the set - cant see the price coming down, which means i cant see past a win for a certain farmer

Can't you let me have one record? Must you horde everything? :p

So i assume you're playing theo cash next set?
I'll try a rep casher and try to take your rep casher record then - although i'll almost certainly fail

Yup, I thought for sure he would get into a war - which I didn't wan't because with his size he was surely a big consumer of tech and a big producer of military

On a sidenote, i'm glad to see oldman returning to game A and Serp joining in too - its lends some additional excitement to a pretty dull server

Military prices were dirt cheap - 32mil in such a set is already impressive

Thanks - fell a little short of the record as i felt i destocked about half a day to a day too late to capitalize fully on the super cheap military

Tech was decent and I was lucky all set anyway as i only got grabbed once early on and didn't get retaliated all set

Thinking about it, its probably techers buying up bushels causing the cashers and commies being unable to play, thus unable to buy tech causing tech prices to come down significantly, not to mention an increased supply

No kidding. I was very surprised to log in today to see military much cheaper, tech going down pretty fast and bushel prices completely out of control.

I pick a farmer to win now haha, im flaky

#234 is indeed looking good, less land than #188 but already on a proper gov type for destocking.

I feel like everyone is going to demand high finishes from the top techers this set, like "we paid a lot for this, it had better be good!" Haha.

Yes. I demand it! Thats my money youre winning with you damn techers :)

Im very worried about food. I cant afford anything else to be expensive with tech and military being as expensive as they are.
Also, if tech doesnt come down, everyone else will just be playing 2nd fiddle to techers

This GDI just stops you from attacking half or two times your size and does absolutely nothing else. Once youre in the top 10, it just forces you to declare war and farm the heck out of someone since pretty much everyone else in range will be able to retal you if they wanted to
