AK - if he did anything like he did to me, Mort had plenty of troops, and the guy just CD'ed/Demo'ed. He was lining up one of mine for a 2nd run even though I had 6 mil troops. I signed in w/ 5 mil and %82 readiness

oh, didn't know they made you a mod HR.....thanks for your .02, but I'll take it straight from someone who doesn't try to bail on his clanmates if ya don't mind.

all of this with legitimate, publicly available, non-altered data for proof?

Cuz I gotta tell ya, the odds of someone hacking SYN's tag are pretty blasted slim...unless that DK spy were high up enough to have access to the admin pass, which no one but the tag holder ever should.

PRAISE JESUS, HALLELUJAH! BROTHER BNB FOUND JESUS!

Can we get a mod confirmation? Cuz supposedly, what Zues described above isn't supposed to even be able to happen by my understanding....

Is this a bug that is being tracked, or is it just more SYN BS?

you timed your jump perfect...I was anticipating the market jumping a lot sooner than it did, and converted too early.

ya for almost no one running a ttr this set! :-)

it's the noobs jiff - they think that just because their tech doesn't sell the first 20 minutes on the market, it's never gonna sell. They don't realize that they could just as easily put it up for $5500 and wait 8-12 hrs.

and yeah, the smaller market base definitely leads to more fluctuations in the public market.

blast! how am I supposed to try this out running a tyr/farmer? :-(

global 2025 has 1 minute turns in 2 week long sets - NW's get close to the billions

I still say the answer to suiciders is to do like they do in tourney, and lock people into 1 country name. A lot of these guys would be a lot less ballsy if they knew they couldn't hide behind a new country name in 2-3 days. That's one of the reasons my country name never changes...if I'm a fluff, I'll take my lumps for it.

Zombie rape defeats all!

That' was actually my 2nd guess!

I'd actually have to agree w/ you on that malykii. If you put it in your name that you're going to suicide if you're hit, and some netter hits you, it's just as much on them as on you. At least you're up front about it so they know what they're getting into. I agree that there has to be some amount of bad things happening in the server, otherwise it's just downright boring...

That's not the type of suicider I'm after.

This is just a guess, but I would say it's because the game resets so much more often in Express. There's probably about a day's work to do to reset the server, and given how busy they are developing and such, they probably want to leave some time so that the server's maintenance doesn't become so cumbersome.

Again though, that's just a guess. Could be several other things as well...

I had 375'ish....once a ttr jumps, running turns just ain't happenin. Although had I remember the $2b+ thing, I wouldn't have jumped nearly as early.

click "play your country", it will change to "create a country"

I don't think he was Polish, was he? Pretty sure he was born in Graz, Austria. What does an Austrian Duke have to do with a plane crash anyways? Is the Black Hand making a big comeback or something?

btw, interesting historical side note.... The bridge protected by UNESCO (and the one pictured on the Wikipedia article) in Sarajevo is actually NOT the bridge the Arch Duke Ferdinand was assassinated on, only where his driver made a wrong turn and had to detour from. The actual bridge is about 2 blocks north, and marked by a historical marker.

You all stole that line :-P

Well if neither of those safe-listed players were in the top 10, what would you have to complain about NA for Forgotten? Other than being a day late and a dollar short of the top 10?

Llaar recruits harder than anyone I've ever seen in this game. I learned most everything I know about recruiting from watching him....how is it such a surprise to everyone that NA is continually bigger than the rest?

lol...I was sitting there about 90 min before the end of the set thinking "Should I, or shouldn't I?".....I would have changed my mind if I knew my stuff was gonna sell 17 min before the end of the set :-(

aww....u remembered I love being raped!

so sweet!

*humps BNB*

Even the stench of SYN can't make me hate u :-P

nvm - didn't know that particular bug was gone

They don't need to retag - Hellrush just needs some time to find another clan to hide out in now that his first idea laughed in his face....

3 hrs = 45 turns this round (4 min turns * 3 hrs)

just sayin


I was in the same boat as you Mort - had to blow 440 mil in 45 min w/ a nearly empty private market. I think I could have hit 19 or 20 mil NW if it wasn't for that and my 4 food shortages when I recalled from the market, then resold w/o looking at my food...Oh well, shoulda woulda coulda, I'm still thrilled w/ my finish.

Congrats to jiff and iZarcon, as well as the other top 10 (ok, 11) :-)

I'm talking about actual farming....not this "Oh noez! I got grabbed 5x, I've been farmed!" BS that all the whiners think is farming. I got 5 tapped this set by a country, and didn't even bother to retal him because it's not enough to even screw up my strat. If you were to hit someone 1/10 your NW 50x w/ SS (think OxKills in Team), yeah I'm probably gonna come knocking on your door unless that country did something to deserve it.

Most likely though, I'll be concentrating primarily on the AB'ers the first set, or the 1 troop GS crowd - whichever draws my attention first....I get distracted by shiny things easily, after all.


In all fairness though, the RoR thing shoulda been left outta my original post - RoR'ing is just trading land, and not really my interest, except in the cases where it's taken to extremes (i.e. Country A grabs Country B, Country B retals, Country A farms the living hell out of Country A)

Wow....talk about almost identical strats.....Look at the progression of land from 1st to 4th place....every next country is behind the higher rank in land by about 300-400 acres.

Gambit was just playin...

me = CRNA GORA (#28)

#105 = jiff (I do believe an Express record finish)
#58 = iZarcon

Best finish evar! Well, other than lower ladder levels of Tourney.... weee!

because it has additional netting possibilities? o_0

Not control, Forgotten - just introducing a little bit of responsibility for actions. 1 person could never control the entire server...but if enough suiciders die, they may start to think twice before they wreck some innocent person's set. Think of it like Batman, just without the cool car, cave, belt, suit, butler, etc...

"Countries" as in I have no problem doing this for several sets.

RoR'ing is fine....but retalling w/ 50 AB's over a double tap will tend to catch my attention. I'm perfectly capable of reading the news, as well as distinguishing between suiciding, private wars, and just out right land trading. I'm really only interested in the 1st - I'm not here to babysit teenagers all day.

Additionally, I'll be asking the suicided country's permission to intervene before doing anything just to be sure....

Sheesh, you have gotta be the most negative person I see on these boards....always thinking the worst. No matter though, it's been a long time since I've worried much about individual opinions. We can't all sit back and just criticize every one else's efforts all day when things aren't working....some of us much prefer to step up and actually try to do something about it.

EM - Gorefast (#88) [] -> CRNA GORA (#28) [] 171705MU

jiff's not...he keeps undercutting my sales :-P

atlast secondnuketheleader (#10)


:-(

If you like war, come to KoH

I am the goo that gunks up your stove when spaghetti boils over! Pheer me!

that sucks man - hopefully he uses the same name next set when I'm running a tyr/farmer....

It looks like you've got the NW record for the server all wrapped up though - congrats!!!

nothin new there....although I'm surprised not to see any farmers up there, bushel prices weren't THAT bad this set.

did you spell is wrong, or boring wrong? :-D

*zombie rapes bubbauk*

I'm the guy right behind ya jiff....but don't listen to Dibs, he's just stirring the pot. Besides, it was you that spied me ;-)

/me goes to look how many EM's he has for iZarcon :-D

Kidding, I'd rather get 3rd honest than get 2nd being a fluff to someone. I'm purely reselling now anyways, so you'll likely pass me. Never finished top 10, let alone top 3....so I'm happy either way.

lol....llaar is so possessive of his sex toys

Most of their countries are already too small to hit Mortie ;-)

Once fordie smells war, the only way to calm him down is let him kill something or find a donkey, 3 bowling balls, and a pair of XXXL panty hose....the latter is NOT pretty, trust me.

AKA same old same old for Earth Forums

I think we should be honored that someone has such a irrelevant hard on for us....not all clans have such a dedicated fan base, ya know.

Can we add SYN to this list? :-)

Pretty sure I could take out SYN's remaining top 5 w/ full turns.... sure would be a waste though, hopefully they'll pay up though...I'd really hate to have to convert all those Reps to Dicts and Tyrs

Sorry Mortie - PM me if I can lend ya a hand w/ anything.

If you want to join the fun, put "Vigilante" in your country name so I can find you easy....or just PM me your country # so I can send you the naughty list :-)

Wish I hadn't forgotten you can hold more than 2 bil cash here this set.... :-(

Hooray! Express is about to get even more nuts! :-D
