The fattest countries always get attacked for no reason.

Maybe he didn't have a stock like yours and was expecting a land trade.

I see 2 things.

2. bakku, the top commies are seeing EXACTLY why they should have panicked.

The top 5 WILL be commies, in the below order,

Since some of the better netters all played commie this set its going to make commie look even more overpowered and we will see more complaining lol. Its to bad rockman got messed up and went on a destroying path. I would have liked to see how he was going to finish with his dict. And treps demo techer making his jumb there could suprise us all, highly unlikely but you never know

Rockman actually gained a lot of land in those little skirmishes. I am not sure how much he lost. I can't imagine Pimping takes that farming operation lying down but he has so far.

hmm, Rockman lost 8k acres to the grabs, and then took back some. Then he was chemed for 10k buildings. The buildings he took from #50 are ent/res which are what he needs but those from #8 aren't. Assuming he didn't build on any of the land, he will be cashing on 52k or so ent/res combined, down 8k from his original acreage. That's still approx ~15% less than cash/turn before the skirmishes.

And to those who think I may win this, I've my doubts lol.

I think I'll come in 5th now this set, I think you'll take the number 4 bind. With old man ashes an evil for 1,2,3. Then runnin coming in 6, a top 6 commie.

On a different note this is my first full set as a commie and first time trying a commie tech start. If I was to do this again I would do many things differently. Commie is a lot of fun and the destock of a commie is very powerfull. I might play commie again next set and run the same tech start, and break a 100m because this set I won't

Yeah so the top 5 looks to definitely be 5 commies. Top 6 even. Looks like any of EEVIL, HNY, oldman, or ashes could win, but ashes is the strong favorite at this point. Even with 1 day left the exact order isn't that clear.

Sold goods yesterday for way too high, and forgot to buy food anyways so I hooped myself in two ways. Lol. Ended up with a bunch of turns unplayed and an untouched private market.

I still wouldn't have passed 112 mill anyways though I don't think. , so I guess it didn't matter really.

Only 22 turns unplayed, and you did make the 100m club if you weren't in it already! Congrats.

Maybe real life got in the way, but Rockman seems to have quit after he got attacked a few times. Speaking of, I understand bakku was pretty close to quitting at one point. If only...

tduong, I wouldn't call the rep casher retarded. In the incident between him and Rockman, I look at it pretty much the opposite way in fact.

The rep casher: Finished with 73m nw even after Rockman dropped him by *14,500* land. Very likely would have broken up the commie top six if not for Rockman, and still made the top ten.

Rockman: Had a temper tantrum against a guy over a single tap, then appears to have quit. He just can't handle being attacked.

If you look at the rep casher's news, you'll see Riverbend profited over 6000 acres at his expense just two days earlier in a land trade. It looks to me the rep casher zeroed in on the fattest guy in the game in an attempt to do a similar land trade himself, but that player lost his fluff.

that's exactly my point.
1. General rule as a republic is that if you want to gain land, you just don't want to hit a dictator at same or above net because it's too easy for them to retal. with 39mil jets. He could've PS 3 countries in the top 100 at that time and gained ~4k land without facing retals.
2. Viva double tapped the same day that rep did. Almost like they planned it. I have no proof so i don't know. Rockman has every right to be pissed. I know i would.
3. If these events didn't occur I'm sure rockamn would've been #1 or 2 easily with the money he was making he had already stocked for 10 days before he got hit. Even if he didn't rebuild after those hits and just hit the cash button for 300 turns, he would've easily passed 80m net with ease(more towards 85-90m net finish)

Yes i agree about his tantrum lol. He should've just finished. If i sound like i'm arguing, i'm not. It's just a debate and speculation on my part. Of course, none of us would know what could actually happened if...

I pretty much say the cashers destroyed their own finishes lol.

Yeah they did, but I think the Rep was expecting to eat the retal and still gain good land, and to capture a lot of cashing buildings at it too, since he had just had it done to him. He probably didn't think a fellow top ten player would mess up both their finishes over an attack. As far as I know Viva attacked for his own reasons. Maybe if Viva hadn't hit him too, Rockman would have had a more level response against the rep. :(
