Didn't realize everybody was in bed together here. I though FBI was RDs fluff, not WoGs lol.

And nuke dump... Lol. Took me forever to figure out what you were talking about seeing as how it was one nuke.

We continue to target FBI this round.

actually boxcar does not show all the market orders, only those that make it to the market (ie is the lowest price good currently available).

If we could have more data, we could create statistical models to optimize our own market orders (ie selling at 1 standard deviation above the market-weighted average and buy at 1 standard deviation below)

If you could import this information into Excel, even better. What is available on boxcar now isn't very useful.

they killed one of our countries out of protection so we start killing. Feel free to farm the ones that aren't in DR, they are farmland for the server.

These guys clearly have no life and weren't satisfied playing 16 countries in FFA so decided they had to come over here and try to enforce their policies in Team.

My advice, go outside, get some sun, smell a flower. Theres a big beautiful world out there, waiting for you. You just have to go outside and find it!

I had a guy drop 20 missiles and a full spy run on my country because of 3 hits I made on him A MONTH AGO. He called it retal, but he seemed to know how to play so he should know a retal needs to be timely and needs to be level with what hits were mad onto you. These were 3 hits i made back when all our NW was 50k or so. Now I'm 10m NW and full stocking and this guy comes back to ruin me. Thats just the way Earth is, man.

tech always sucks on this server. I think its because people don't understand its value and don't buy it early enough on primary. Prices are basically 2k/pt out of the gate and stay that way through most of the set.

But Rockman in seriousness, the issue here isn't the definition of retaliation, it is the definition of cross-tag relation. When we say we do not cross-tag retaliate, that refers specifically to retals for land grabs.

cross-tag retal became such a regular part of the lexicon on this server that we assumed it need no further clarification.

I'm sorry that it wasn't clear to you, you're probably relatively new to the server or you would have known, perhaps we will clarify that in a future version of the retal policy.

We have let some triple taps slide this set after some diplomatic efforts. Your player actually contacted me and offered to pay reps, but, unfortunately, reps cannot be paid when you cannot pact to players outside your tag =/

Also, his farming was too over the top and an example had to be made.

ffs gonna have to pay a lawyer to re-write our retal policy. Make sure all the terms are clearly defined and all the loopholes are closed.

That would be badass though if a clan got a retal policy drafted by a lawyer.

killing is a retaliatory action, yes. But the phrase, cross-tag retal has a different meaning on this server due to all the wars that were fought over that idea.

A cross tag-retal, as defined by the Team Server Community, is a land grab retal that is taken by a tag other than that who was hit.

We have established that cross-tag retals are strictly prohibited on this server while cross-tag killing is meh (take it or leave it).

This is the way things have evolved over the life of this server. No offense, but you can't come in here, play a few sets, and try to start re-defining words and concepts that have evolved organically on this server over the past 18 months. The retal policy fine, its just a matter of interpretation. If it makes you feel better at night we can include the "interpretation clause" as proposed by ZEN.

We take L:L on top feeds (a top feed is if the attacking country has LESS land than the defending country BEFORE the attack). L:L is complete if 90% or more of the lost land is taken back.

L:L is defined as 25% more land. So if an 8k country attacks a 10k country, this is the limit for not top feed.

Hitting a MKR warring tag could result in the killing of your country instead of the intended Kill Target. It is the responsibility of each leader to inform it members on embassy issues!

We recognize a retal window of 48 hours.

MKR will accept missle retals.

MKR doesnt support cross tag retals!

All MKR tags will have MKR in their tag name. If there is a tag without MKR in tag name it will be posted in the forums no later than 3 days after set starts!

Note:If your country is killed by MKR and you threaten MKR with your restart then your restart will be killed again if threat is carried out.

Contact kwmi or me for further clarification!

Retal policy updated, no longer 2:1 for second hit. 1:1 for first and second hits. So if you make 2 hits on MKR, you will receive 2 retals. This is more fair IMO. Grabs on countries with more than 25% of your land will still be treated as topfeeds and L:L will be enforced. 3 hits is still Kill, unless other arrangements are made between FAs.

lool, what about techers? They just love to sell their tech for $2k at the beginning of the set. Never fails, set after set, $2k/point all set. Don't know why people don't price it higher early set, tech is way more valuable early, but who knows?

You finally killed all my countries. It only took you having a 6:1 advantage in numbers against me as well as teaming up with the clan you were once warring, nonetheless. Very well done. You lemminged me to death. I guess that is a luxury you have when you have that kind of a numbers advantage. You guys really proved yourself to be a warring powerhouse. And by warring powerhouse of course I mean utter douchebags.

I can't say I wouldn't be bitter too. You guys had a great set over at CC. We didn't have beef with you, we had beef with IMP and didn't consider your involvement in the war with IMP before suiciding on them (mb if you had helped us out and policed for us we would've been more considerate =D_)

I posted on Boxcar that we should perhaps check with you guys to see how you felt about it but was told our leaders had attempted to contact you without hearing back, so after that it was all systems set to go.

our FS consisted of, no joke, 4, maybe 5 players. Most of the original xtinct got bored and stopped playing their countries. A few of us stuck around to suicide on IMP because they are douchebags and assholes.

I wouldn't say our FS was spectacular at all, it was just an FS.

I do feel bad for CC, they were killing IMP and showing the server how pathetic IMP is at warring.

That said, IMP had this coming to them, and they should not be granted amnesty just because they were getting their asses kicked in a friendly war.

btw i played about as good a techer as i could play this set. had very little trouble. MB coulda had a few more mm NW if I had continued stocking for a few days rather than jumping, but looks like techer isn't an overpowered strat on this server. Seeing how tech stays around 2k for most of the set (no 5k, 4k, 3k at the beginning of the set, i dunno why, but tech isn't so valuable early-set). Looks like the strategies are pretty well balanced with commies, farmers, and techers all finishing around the same NW.

ya you will probably not win as all X, but you will get top 10, maybe top 5, almost every time. Grabbing is necessary to win tournament in most cases, just gotta avoid the mine filed of retards who think its fun to over retal and then war you with their terrible countries.

depends how much stock you have an how fast you can destock.

I decided to jump a little earlier to try to destock at a higher $/bushel, but most of my stock got stuck on the market as it dropped and was sold at $39, anyway (bad).

I also overestimated the profitability of reselling. I was thinking I could do $3m NW a day as full 23k TMBR, but looking at historical market prices, I'm lucky if the public market hits $250/NW at the end of the set. So in hindsight, maybe stock a few more days before conversion, but only with the power of hindsight =D

lol that is the entire purpose of the game, getting land to increase your production and finish better. That is where most of the dynacism of the game comes from, land grabbing. If you put everybody on 10k acres to start there is very little room to manuver and all the good players would end up at about the same NW.

No offense kwmi but I know how you play, I bet you deserved every bit of it. And I wouldn't diffuse mine either, you already seen how that worked out for you!

i posted the news, it was one landgrab and the guy retalled with 4 missiles and harmful spy ops. If that is what I deserve for making ONE LANDGRAB, then so be it, but it is far from even after that, in my opinion.

This is the second set in a row I have been suicided on for one landgrab. This is why I was arguing that all XP strats are better in tourny, you get more consistantly good finishes because you don't have to worry about wankers like this over retalling a single landgrab.

i had heard regular, information spy ops are no longer affected by spy DR.

As for demo or CDs, this could be a useful tactic. I have had countries that were unbrekable, but very susceptible to CD, could have worked to put it in spy DR so I would keep my troops.

We're going to let it slide with retals, but just because there are loopholes in our retal policy doesn't mean these things are okay. The retal policy is a guideline of what we expect and is far from an airtight contract that accounts for every contingency. Events will be evaluated on a case by case basis in the event that the retal policy doesn't clearly define protocol.

Please be aware in the future that MKR does not like repeated landgrabs against our countries. A few grabs is fine and will be dealt with by retals, this is part of the game. However, excessive grabs will not be tolerated.
