#63 hit me with ops, claiming 'revenge' for another country I killed. Sounds like some collusion.

Congrats to all. Very solid Top 3.

Yes, I reported the message where SuperFly used sexually harassing language to describe farming me after he RoR'd me.

The basis for reporting that message was the game rule: "* Players cannot create countries with offensive country names or send ingame messages with offensive content."

Based my "war build" comment on the composition of your restart that suicided us. I did not see your op before you got killed the first time.

We're two sets out and already with the revisionist history, though... too soon. SOL/Mercs hit PDM (and the rest of the server), so we fought back and won. PDM had nothing to do with M4D hitting you this set. You got butthurt and suicided on PDM to make some point that no one else can interpret. We had no beef until you created it. Now you're dead again.

SuperFly logic: M4D hit my "netting" (war build) country, it's based on old grudges, it's evil to blindside netters, therefore I suicided on... PDM?... therefore, everyone should be mad at M4D.

Gentlemen, history has taught us that FAing Paladin would inevitably lead to him incurring repeated cash and food shortages, and he'd likely mistype my country number and suicide a bot.

SuperFly, it is my destiny to win the round. You can find purpose in electing to be my landfarm. It is a noble (some say divine) calling. If you'd like to apply, please send me a DM.

You can have defense pacts with bots. I wouldn't call it leeching, since they'll likely get hit way more than you!

I have observed that this logic does not work well early in the round (when bots of various strategies have few built acres relative to their total land). For example on Coop: a 5539-acre Fasc Farmer with 2437 farms, 191 ICs, 240 CS, and 2671 unbuilt.

I also observed some late-game bots with unbuilt acres getting classified as rainbow. For example on Alliance: a 15092-acre CI bot today with 7456 IC, 240 CS, 7396 unbuilt.

Does it make sense to weight unbuilt acres a little differently in the classification logic?

My father-in-law has advanced Parkinsons and, as he's declined, his political takes have gotten more and more unhinged. Each Thanksgiving over the past 5-6 years has become an exercise primarily in not taking his bait.

Dear Sir Butthurt,

Being tag killed comes with the game. Most clans have experienced the same over the past few decades.
In regards to "Sui does harmful ops on Paradigm's top country", that was only part of the plan to return a "Netting" server back into a "War" server.
I had no idea that SOL was trying for top NW and Darkmere hit my Dict with a mallet for stirring up war.
From the original Earth 2025, to the current EE in the year 2025, someone had to bring back a server war.

I would like to thank all the butthurt players who helped me in Making Earth Great Again.

P.S. If players want to net, with no defence or spies, go play on the COOP server. To play on the Alliance server might require players to cover their backside soze thay don't get butthurt.

To all, thanks for playing. Peace be with you.

Oh wow, now I feel like an idiot. I had no idea that breaking a pact by doing undetected harmful ops was part of your master plan to get SOL tag killed!

Although your claim that you didn't actually know that your entire clan was so committed to getting top NW that they threatened every other clan on the server goes a long way to explain SOL's middling performance last set.

This post is dedicated to Cathankins.

For posterity:

Typical round, server is netting
SOL is also "netting"
SOL asks rest of server to please let them win the round
Paradigm tries to explain concept of public market to SOL
Weezy threatens to kill pacted Paradigm countries who are selling tech on public market
Sui does harmful ops on Paradigm's top country
Taz does harmful ops on SOL's top country
SOL kills Taz
Mercs peels a few 100 million NW off Paradigm's top country
Paradigm peels a few 100 million NW off SOL's top country
SOL manages to lose TNW despite 7 country advantage
New round
SOL/Mercs FS
SOL/Mercs tag killed

You had a few players with great walling. We surely would have lost without Empy/Leto running chats. No one else knew what they were doing lol.

This was fun. The day SOL FSed, there was no real coordination between any of the other tags, no shared comms, no war plan. Our collective war prep was lazy at best. But getting all these old treehuggers into the same chat united under a common cause was great fun and made me nostalgic for Earth of yesteryear. I still can’t believe all the old names who came out of the woodwork to take a shot at SOL and that other clan.

Who says the game is in decline??

This kind of content has been the uninterrupted essence of AT since the time of Mehul wishing us a Swirvey day. I am worried about bans insofar as they diminish the sacred institution of the forum. For what is an Internet forum without the noble art of the straw-man argument, the timeless tradition of the ad hominem attack, or the proud legacy of insulting flair with only the faintest relevance to gameplay?

These are not bugs. They are features. They are our heritage.
