I've no idea how to guess where land traders finish up, so I sort of suspect it'll be above $180m NW, maybe even $190m, but I've no idea for sure.

Any guesses?

I thought you quit, why are we still dealing with you?


I have no idea, but I am confident that nobody with <9500 acres will finish ahead of me (9200).

I think it'll be higher. This has been a pretty good netting set, with a fairly strong tech market, lots of trading, and a really high bushel peak.

If it is higher, I'm pretty sure the top 10 is all land traders. I'm pretty sure the top non-traders aren't going to get past $190m this 'set.

Top 10 should be over 210m

Not a clue. Figured Laf had someone at least semi competent. I dont pay attention anymore. I did see some fast grabbers at the start I assumed were tech?

Tech was collapsing before the food drop pushed a bunch into jumping, the food collapse was the wrong time for anyone to really jump with a large stock while devaluing early income, and then the second drop devalued stocks again. The timing on everything was wrong for this to be a really strong reset for techers unless they found some way to retain their stockpile values.

4 of the 5 fastest grabbing techers early on are already in the top 10 now, and I'll be a little surprised if any of them hit $200m NW.

I dont necessarily think your way far off iccyh but...

I wud wager there will be at least 1 techer in top 10 maybe 2

and would say top 10 will be at least 210m NW

I fluffted my set up real good is all I know lol

good luck to all in the running for a top 10 hope u get it, I'll be super lucky if i squeeze it out after my fluff up... I didnt do a serious recalc after getting sui-grabbed and buying up stupid amount of jets for tard-retalling but im just gunna eyeball it and chalk it up to a who gives a shyte

The crashes were very quick, so unless you're leading the crash you lose value, perhaps a lot of value. With a bigger stock, it is hard to get all of your food off before someone undercuts you. I did ok, but I still lost close to $5b due to the drops, and I'm pretty sure I did the best on that compared to the other techers.

it was a bad set for techer guys and top 10 will probably be over 220 mil NW as there are at least 9 traders that will be able to get that if not even more :D

PS: i'm not counting myself in this 9 as i started 8 days late and did some stupid things while grabbing :)))

You are supposed to be calling me stupid, not agreeing with me.

I am vying for the top country with <10k acres, what does that win me?

I'll admit I'm a little perplexed by the number of traders that haven't started jumping yet. I know nothing about destocking for traders, but a 60k A country that hasn't yet touched it's private market only has about $150m NW there right now, and public market prices aren't looking so hot right now.

You can't. The only server I'm playing right now is alliance, and I'm not modding alliance. I'm actually not modding anything yet, but I am pretty sure the plan is not for me to be modding alliance at all.

right now he doesn't have mod access to any server. I just gave him forum perms.
Taking a quick survey to see which server needs an extra mod more badly. (not alliance server).

iccyh, you need not jump for your PM to continue accumulating. You could have someone who started their 40 hour 100 hours ago and just hasn't logged in to jump, but their PM size continue increasing with time and it will still be there for them when they log in. Theoretically you could do your whole destock, hundreds of millions in NW, in the last minute of the set.

Zorp: That's one way to do it, and I suppose if I were really curious I could go see who did their initial PM buyout, but the lack of a government switch is kind of perplexing.

Also, almost of the countries I was looking at since I posted that have since switched to theo and started jumping. This makes me think I might finish in the top 10 yet.

Alot depends on your land size, for instance a Theo on 70k acres with the correct military tech can buy out $8b a day on on the private market. ~36m nw

Probaly each 10k acres = 1.15b cash a day and 5.15m nw. Probably can easily calc up what people have left they can buy up to within reason based on their land.

PM refill rate in NW is just 6.5*Land*Turns anyway, and that's about 228 turns remaining as of this post. Assuming empty PMs right now you can just do Land*1482 to get a low estimate for remaining jumps, since PMs probably aren't empty.
