Yeah, and Sully had the Pens in last and now has the Rangers in last, ugh.

Pens having a last shot with Sid and Malkin is a good story at least.

First matchup is set - Dallas/Minnesota. That one's been basically set for months now but it's finally official.

Here in Illinois they have weed stores all over the place. I wonder if I can talk them into carrying some crack?

Since Empy wasn't polite enough to send you in the right direction...

On alliance, M4D has the best Discord tools for both netting and war. We're the last "war" alliance, I guess, but all seems quiet on the front at this time. We have lots of active channels. :)

The other clan server, cooperation, is very different. There are no PvP military actions allowed, everyone landgrabs bots and competes strictly for high score. NA there is a fun, big tent with lots of activity.

We'd love to see you in either place, even if it's just to stop by and get directions to finding other people you know.

Yah, Garry and Sui are right. WTH were you thinking?

And now I realize I didn't make a thread for saplingg last set 😭

We were too busy cheering for him in NA's Discord haha

Thank you for continuing to improve the game.

Not only that, but he's already better defensively than Gretz or Mario ever were, and certainly better than Sid was at that age. Mark it, he's going to be the first to sweep the Art Ross/Hart/Lindsay/Selke one year.

How did Torts get another job lol Vegas knocking off Avs inbound

I'll be rooting for the Ducks and their young corps with my guy Kreider (one of only 2 sweaters I have, the other being Nash), unless the Sharks make it. I'm all in on Macklin Celebrini, that kid is ridiculous.

I use Brave for that reason. Best adblockers baked in.

We are not expecting a war in M4D

That or 58008, we'll find out together

New ownership would be the obvious #1 thing that would improve things. No more JD and the straight shot (google that phrase if you don't know).

Panarin may have been part of what was holding back the youth, with his horizontal slow play style. The top line of Zibanejad, Lafreniere, and Gabe Perreault has been cooking. The powerplay was too, when JT Miller was out. Miller came back, replaced Perrault on the PP - instantly the unit collapsed again.

Miller's been apparently hurt all year, I wish he would just sit out already.

Anyway, there's a path to being decent again pretty soon and it's 1) Keep getting more solid play from Mika/Laf/GP 2) Miller gets healthy and returns to form 3) Chmelar and Kartye aren't mirages right now and are actually decent middle 6ers. Robertson same for the defense. 4) Good trade value for one or more of the following in the offseason: Braden Schneider, Vincent Trochek, Will Cuylle. "Change of scenery/Hockey tade" type trades would be best for the fastest possible return to the playoffs, trades for futures better for a rebuild. 5) Hit on a solid young center in the draft. Not necessarily a superstar, but a guy you can pencil in for 10 years as 1C/2C. Like a Scheifele type, he was #7 in his draft, that would be ideal. Get some good AHL depth with the plethora of 2-4th round picks.

There's also the option of "Eff it, Igor's playing 75 games and putting up a .925" but I don't think that's actually going to happen.

Huzzahs all around! Gratz Theo!

Llaar and TC both have wins in 1a in M4D bud.

I didn't say *I* had a better resume.

Also slip and TCO are spy guys this round, they'd love to get you ops.

I'm in

I'm teching, got full tech allies, good luck to all...


but not that good.

Oh, that's right, you have one Express win when you were cheated for by another player, and 0 1a wins. I see a grip of people on that list that have better resumes than you. Sometimes we just have other goals, like team play.

I ended with literally billions in stock unspent, because rank doesn't matter in war sets. I spent my resources helping our allies make up the damage you caused by being a petulant brat.

How many express wins you got big boss man?

How many 1a wins?

Another convincing victory. Gratz t10, let's run it back.

Insults based on dwindling player counts are so 2015, only the hardcore are left now

See, you tried to evade, but there's plenty of grist for the arguments mill there.

M4D has 2 netting sets ever in alliance, and also two different winners, so we win again.

You should do a tier list of the l337ness of every poster, just so people will argue about it.

Who's still talking smack in ingame messages? Nobody I fought. I need a better class of adversary 😂

NA is still pretty OG. Need Bug and Ford.

SF probably thinks I was just glazing him when I said we had people genuinely excited to war him, because he is actually kind of a legend. It as legit though, I wasn't glazing. Imagine multiplying that by the excitement of the return of Xyle and some cadre.

Yes, do that

56m is indeed a high t5 cutoff, nice round yall! Gratz!

Good luck to everyone coming down the stretch!

But then M4D's advantage of having the best Discord bot is lessened, dislike.

OK, that was a joke, it's a great idea. The tech calculator is the tool I use probably the most often.

Let this be a lesson to ankle biters - I will chase you down the freaking ranks, selling on the private market, to keep making your set more miserable. Humanitarians will not keep you safe from me.

Just to piggyback a little bit - when I first came back, Cat gave me the checklist for a theo conversion destock for a fascist farmer in Express. I still have the image saved and read those steps before every destock. I've won express as a fasc farmer... 3 times? 4 times? 5 times? I dunno, several times, since then. His advice is good.

ETA - I checked, 3 wins as fasc farm since then.

We actually talk about this stuff quite a bit in the M4D Discord, come join me and a bunch of other Express players. The activity level is high, and lots of good answers to your questions from different perspectives.

https://discord.gg/CvMsGWHFF

Look for the "other servers" category, and the "express" channel.

Oh I see what you mean.

If you're looking for a good destock primer, probably the most impactful single thing to know is why so many of the top players do a 24 hour logout at the end.

You want to be able to sell your stocked bushels on your private market (purchases screen) for $35. This means you need close to maximum military tech. Then you want to spend the proceeds on that same private market, where your near-max tech will have your prices looking prime.

The reason for the long logout is that your private market continuously gains units, and it also decays units - but only when you've logged in and received a turn. So if you logout for a long time, it keeps accumulating with no decay. Then when you login, you have far more units built up than you could otherwise.

I don't understand the question. Could you rephrase?

Pic is accurate.

😂

GOLD

SF, you used to be a great troll. What happened? You've lost the fastball.

You think i make decisions? Lol i just happen to be articulate, and think things through, and talk about things.

Also if anyone cares what i actually said was i kind of expected bad4u to call in stones, i didn’t say anything remotely related to our intentions, the post is still there. You’ll note, no edited tag.

This is literally the second reset since sol et al flamed out

Muse, or Knoblauch. Both were in the Rangers org, but the Rangers decided (like always) to go with the "safe" choice instead of taking a swing for the next phenom.

If I knew when that was I'd try to give you the opportunity lol

You will receive reparations in exact proportion to your previous compliance with standard server reparations policies.

😆

NHL is back on action, things looked a little sluggish for a lot of teams the first two nights. The Rangers picked up right where they left off, with a come-from-ahead loss.

Zero responses? Damn, we have lost our fun. :(
