Oooookay, I think this has gone on long enough, and to those of you who PMd me and asked me what was up, thank you for not coming to the boards and fluffing and crying like .. one of you did.
So I'll cut to the chase: The purchase(s) in question involved MY tech. That much is true. Congrats on your sleuthing. You have too much time on your hands. Go back to two sets ago - I put 60k res tech up @ $8888 and no one bought it. I wish this had happened two weeks ago so we'd move on. Why? Because as h20 pointed out earlier, it could be thought that whatever happened was not coordinated, which, unfortunately, is exactly the case.
Now why is this a bad thing? Well it would almost be better that I did coordinate something because then I could say so, but here we are with Alin huffing and puffing and snarling, and me denying it correctly in a lose-lose situation because Alin and whoever agrees with him will brush it off.
I mean really, this post means nothing because it will likely change nothing; half of you will keep huffing and puffing and half won't. But for fun, you want to know how you build a 30m all-x country?
13kA rep casher, standard set = 23-23.5m NW
Add: Oil reselling = +$160m cash
Add: Using SOs for tech instead of buying straight at 2400-2700pt = +$220m cash
Add: Dropping your entire food stock at an ACB of $52 after buying at an ACB of $37.3 = +$675m cash
Add: The tech buy in question: +$579m cash
Ending NW w/ an avg NW/$ of $249 = ~30m NW w/ a few million cash left on hand (not enough to surpass Viva though).
So, you can call the tech buy whatever you like to, fact is that I'm going to keep right on playing, and I might not throw in all the extra things (reselling, SOs, etc.) just so Alin can feel adequate.
Oh, and Alin -- I'm not in RD anymore. I was there for a grand total of 1/4 of 2 different sets. I think the only people who I talk to regularly are KingMe and Hammer - both who left as well I think. And I wasn't aware that PMing someone ingame to see how their set was going was reason to believe I was cheating LOL. I mean, if that's the case, then damn bro... Mose (when he played), Hammer, KingMe, TDA, blid, ingle, st0ny, shady.. man, they must ALL be cheating, lying scum, right? I mean, for your reasoning to hold based on your above post where you said,
"but he made the mistake of pm-ing me in-game almost every reset ). I just knew he was doing something fishy."
Right? Cuz, that's offensive. They're all stand-up players and people who I consider friends. You can slander me. I really don't care, but them? Nah man.
In any case, there it is. Take it at face value. I am playing this round. Alin, come find me. ;)
