Landtrading greatly affects the finishes of non landtraders.

There are so many farmers with so much bushel production that the market stays way down for almost the entire set. This allows techers and other non-traders the set-long opportunity to pick up bushels at < $40. This is just one example. The total land base for landtraders is so high that they can pretty much destock entirely off their own private market, which makes the public market have more goods available end of set at a lower price.

Networths achieved by everyone are "tainted" or whatever you want to call it. The fact is, all networths are going to be inflated because of the landtrading that goes on.

Btw, hi Vic. Where the heck are you now?

qzjul, I was the one who retagged. I had no idea the set ended today until I logged in. It was the first time I logged in in approximately 3 weeks.

I then joined the chat, told what I had done and the heads asked me to retag.

I thought my country was auto-deleted after 2 weeks (this used to be how it was) of inactivity. Apparently that is no longer the case.

Congratulations to Evo and sorry it looked like I was purposefully trying to screw you out of your average networth victory.

Best Regards,

Downsay

The teams would probably need a couple of days between sets to get organized, plus this would also penalize late starters. This might be a good format for potential FB players.

Good points all around

I'm going to have to agree with NOW3P on this one, sorry Hellz X:P

Also, perhaps we could add a bit to this?

If a country within a tag is killed, when that country owner recreates a new country he/she is randomly placed into one of the unfilled tags. This would give an opportunity to get rid of the members who are doing stupid crap.

I've thought about it ever since you posted this. At first thought, I hated the idea. After pondering over it for a while...I LOVE the idea.

This would expose me to new players which would make the game exciting again. This would eliminate the cross-tag retals/attacks as mentioned above, and it would definitely separate this server from all other servers even more than it already is.

All-in-all this is a fantastic suggestion.

Although this sounds like the easy solution, this gives RD the ability to run defenseless countries therefore incurring no military expenses and having a large advantage.

Are you suggesting they won't accept retals and if you try they will attempt to kill?

I doubt they would try that. Sorry in advance if I misunderstood your response.

I'm asking about what retals they accept.

If they are going to try to enforce 1:kill, I figure it is only fair to see what their plans are for retals on their countries.

Wrong, you cross retaliated against us and we don't accept that policy.

As far as we supposedly just unleashed death for eternity, RD doesn't scare me or anyone anymore for that matter. The intimidation you brought was due to your bots and multies. You don't have that to hide behind any longer and your ridiculous policies will not stand.

braden, most of the juniors were asked to run countries/proxies and kill certain countries to prove their worth

That's something you should certainly be familiar with

and yeah, I certainly have to agree with ViLSE here. There's nothing impressive about using bots to get your work done. Well, bots and proxies.

RED wasn't anyone's landfarm.

Yes, I was RED, I was also Short Fuse and Omega before that.

Mr. Lime, if it makes you feel any more important, I've never heard anything about you, either.

Yellow/Teal/Cobalt and a few others, but Lime? Nope

Please, keep flattering yourself with your false sense of grandeur.

I wonder who Mr Silver really is...the fact that he doesn't recognize a lot of the other names around here as being oldies is interesting. Especially since some of them have been playing since solaria...

How can you leave ME out Mr Silver?

No thanks. The multiple tags to bypass isn't posing nearly the problem it originally was.

The server right now is already tremendously enjoyable.

From the news of it, #41 tried to retaliate #130's hits by hitting #80.

I'm not condoning the hits by #130, but I am also trying to make it clear I don't condone hitting other countries in the tag as "retals".

Revolver-->Do you have a messenger of some type that you can be contacted on? The LaF irc room is not a good place to find me.

I don't really need it to convert my handwriting to text so much, although it could be useful I guess in certain instances.

I really need it more so I can decrease the amount of papers I will need to carry (all powerpoint presentations could be on my tablet and I could write directly on them while recording the lectures)

I am looking to purchase a convertible tablet pc. Nothing like the iPad, JooJoo, or HP Slate "tablets" that now exist.

The main use will be for med school, so mostly a lot of note taking, studying, powerpoint. Obviously I would also use it for basic media functionality as well, but I won't install any video games otherwise my life would be consumed.

I want something that will have ~10 hours of battery life and will last me for at least my first 2 years. I'd definitely like to have as fast of a processor as possible. HD size isn't too important since most everything will be done through the cloud or via external HD.

Could you guys please offer suggestions on a good tablet pc that fall within these guidelines?

Thank you in advance!!

I just had the same thing occur to me. I was ab'ed by a team I had never touched before making a retal for a landgrab on me today.

Looks like Rag/Ragnarok are planning on trying cross retaliating without calling it cross retaliating.
