Is Mika Zibanejad actually starting to pull his head out of his hindquarters? That'd be nice. Rangers continue to win with poor underlying numbers, but they're looking a lot better lately.

Fire Lindgren into the sun though.

I protest this illegal and hostile collusion from the agricultural sector against big tech! Our products make their farms more productive and easier to tend, as well as improving the lot of their citizens at home. This trade war - and I do not use that term lightly - will force us to respond in kind. Higher prices for everyone are bad for business and growth. Stop these greedy farmers and their price gouging ways!

They drafted a guy to be their team leader who, after a loss on national television, left his teammates to jump into the stands, sit on his mom's lap, and cry into her breast. This was their #1 draft pick. It will never be their year with that clown.

I'm not super excited to play the Jets tomorrow night. Rangers have looked like ass, with spectacular goaltending leading to victories. The Jets are on a serious roll, they will be a lot to handle. The Rangers need to bench lindgren, and make Zibanejad 3C, and replace Zibanejad on the power play with Lafreniere. If they do those things their underlying numbers will go back to being awesome like in the first 7-8 games.

For all other servers (including express), strat/building-type doesn't affect gains.

This guy wins like every round. If I say something and he contradicts it, go with what he said.

Yeah there are a lot of people that like to hit humans here. You definitely need to carry some D. All-X rep can finish strong on this server - see the pinned thread for Kingme's server record - but you can get 30m easier with some decent grabbing.

For grabbing, use the new advanced search tool and you can sort by diminishing returns and make sure you always hit the freshest targets. Also try to grab on-strat as much as possible to maximize returns.

Congrats again to everyone, nice job on cracking 50M slip!

Nitell, I think I had a weird hybrid this time around of trying to implement your advice while also trying to do what had "worked" for me before, and there was some conflict of purpose at times. Hopefully I can apply your ideas better soon, although I think I need to skip this week.

When I log in I don't see news of tech sales, but I see money on hand, more than what I had before. I thought I noticed this before but I've been somewhat out of phase around here lately, I'm back to paying full attention now and I'm sure this happened.

That was a heck of a first game.

Igor keeps pressure on the Rangers by posting shutouts.

The Rangers keep pressure on him in return by potting 6.

This is a good trend. I approve.

Does the math work on landtrading? I might be open to that. I don't know if MKR has an established public retal policy.

I speak for MKRjr only. We retal everything to our satisfaction.

That would be fun!

Aside from that, please make no mistake - I am not saying we have to arrange a war. Just be cool and keep it even. If SoL wants to FS us, cool. But they don't need 40 players to fight a 20 man clan.

We were supposed to have SOF/M4D on one side and SOL/Mercs on the other, the numbers were supposed to be much closer, but SoF disappeared overnight.
