Seems like Vegas sent word to the NFL that they wanted KC to win over Cinci. It makes sense when you think about the disparity in betting on that game.

Cinci had way more money bet on them due to the media coverage leading up to the game about how Cinci had won three straight vs KC, how Mahomes was hurt, Kelce was hurt, every talking head on TV saying Cinci would win.

It’s great to see the posts

The worst is when someone gets purpled as you are stockpiling up turns to smoke them back for something they did to you

At least now you can come and see why they were purpled

I think after watching this weekend I predict that Philly wins it all this year

I thought the jags had it against KC but they blew it

Dak Prescott is terrible otherwise Dallas would have had a shot at it

I would consider playing a farmer

If there are truly no farmers I could try a demo farmer.

Who’s going to sell the military? Who will sell the tech? Who will sell the waffles and who will sell the muffins?

These threads are great for chatting about the round but not great for this announce your strategy thing

The way I do my start up I could pick a strategy at turn 300 or turn 400 and that’s likely what I will do

GL to all this round

I was going to grab him but when I spied on him he had approx 2 billion in cash and would have been able to afford the jets to retal so I didn’t bother

Also fyi, If you hit me in primary and I retal I advise you not to retal on retal

Players who retal on retal become the victim of game mechanics at a later date when I grow to 4x their size :)

Thanks for the reminder from last round, despite flubbing the attack and damaging my own country in the process, a message was still sent successfully with regards to RoR policy

This guy!

I just re-read the posts above and I don’t see anywhere that I said it was wrong to hit a target and jump out of networth range. I simply pointed out that this becomes the dominate (most profitable) strategy due to the game design.

I did say that I can understand how it drives new players away, but that is not an issue for the player that is using the game mechanics to their advantage. That is an issue for the game developers and if they wish to change the mechanics or not

You try to plant somethin in the conrete, y'knowhatImean?
If it GROW, and the and the rose petal got all kind of
Scratches and marks, you not gon' say, "Damn, look at
All the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from concrete"
You gon' be like, "Damn! A rose grew from the concrete?!"
Same thing with me, y'knahmean? I grew out of all of this
Instead of sayin, "Damn, he did this, he did this,"
Just be like, "DAMN! He grew out of that? He came out of that?"
That's what they should say, y'knowhatImean?
All the trouble to survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty
Y'knowhahatImean unbelievable lifestyle they gave me
I'm just tryin to make somethin..

I remember being surprised in my first couple of sets when I spied Gerdler and saw him with 0 troops, 0 tanks, 0 sdi and a poor spal and he had been mass farming multiple countries

However, I noticed that he was simply using the humanitarian range as his only defence.

In my opinion, playing like that is an even more aggressive way to play. I can see how it frustrates the new players though

I think the top primary players still typically play with 0 tanks and 0 troops, and 0 sdi

Mostly they just farm players right at the humanitarian range and use the game rules as defence

I suppose it would mean that players would have to play the full game again. For example, I play primary without a very good spal, without sdi, and without tanks and troops

All of these are essential to successful land grabbing in tournament, where I run with a very high spal as well as a good variety of military to deter retals and diffuse missiles

Yeah it basically makes the game unplayable, I can’t get the 24 hour bonus anymore, it just stopped working. I can click on all the tall buildings and street lights and jump through all the hoops and cast my vote for earth empires but it just doesn’t register in the game and doesn’t give me the bonus points

This means that I have 0 chance to win versus anyone who pays for premium and I would hope that’s not the way premium was designed

I farmed one country and he quit, that’s the perfect scenario for land grabbing being worthwhile

Unfortunately, I also hit another guy who decided to take me to war, luck of the draw

I dont know why you are putting words in my mouth, koheartsgpa. If you follow the discussion it's about grabbing or not, not about Tmac. In my mind, and I could be wrong here I have not played tournament seriously for, well years by now actually, is that most of the people who grabbed last round would have finished higher with all-explore.

Tmac won, and he would have won with all-explore as well because he is clearly adept at running a strong techer, grabbing or not. But everyone else who grabbed, seemed to have lost out on it.

Now if the arguement was that you need to grab to get 45m+ NW i'd be on board with that.

All that I am trying to say is, you can’t say whether we would have finished higher with all explore than we did grabbing because that decision was already made for us. When you see Tmac make great early grabs without much in the way of retals and he jumps out to 13.5k acres very early you know that you have to land grab very well also in order to compete. Those of us who tried were not as lucky this round but that doesn’t mean we should have played for 2nd

Twisted, do you (or does anyone else) think it is possible to surpass 47 million networth without making land grabs?

You can debate the merits of grabbing all day but if you can’t win without grabbing then you are debating about playing for 2nd or 3rd

When grabbing real players it comes down to luck and experience in knowing who to hit and who not to hit

Simply, when your goal is to achieve a higher networth than what is possible without land grabs you’re going to have to risk making land grabs
