how do i get safelisted?

Oh, you'r gonna start a new alliance AND get on the safelist?

Yeah, doesn't sound fishy to me...

Make sure you put your brother, sister, mother, father, dog, the fish, a few uncles on that safelist too.... since I bet they all will be playing from your house at a daily basis...

lol to funny... itll be my wife and i... ill prob have 16 and since she dont want that many she might do 2-3-5-7-9 idk yet depends how much she likes it. me ill be doing two all jetter one spy couple farms and a few reps and a demo

tell her to play techer and run 6 countries.

Humm, I'm lost on that Marshal. Why 6 and not 8? To get the full benifit of the research allies would it not be groups of 4 techers? What am I missing?

6 techers to get 3 res allies to all countries, not sure if you can get 3 res allies to all 8 countries.

8 techers gets you 3 res allies for each of the 8 countries. Math a 4 year old can do.

Why do you think they bumped total countries up to 16 to begin with in part?

There might just be a reason why the two of you (JP and Dragon) are #8 and #14 on FFA's all-time boards and Marshal isn't in the top 100.

1. i play all-x and all-x has very difficult to get to top100 on normal set (where all/majority nets).

2. not interested to get on top 100 (if i was i would goto some top netting tag and learn).

3. i play for fun not to get some rank which doesn't mean a fluff in the end.

ya even people who finish last get a ribbon anymore. its gay

your 3 excuses dont change the fact that you cant do basic math...

not to mention that as of now im all-x and have 3bill food in my stocker. havnt even done any market transfers.... that is good enough for a top 10 probably, and im not done yet. and im a terrible netter.

Hold On guys, It was a real question I was asking. I was interested in the reasoning as the 6 configuration does work although the 4 configuration is all I have known people to use.

6 Country Configuration
Country A - allies B-C-D
Country B - allies A-E-F
Country C - allies A-E-F
Country D - allies A-E-F
Country E - allies B-C-D
Country F - allies B-C-D

4 Country Configuration
Country A - allies B-C-D
Country B - allies A-C-D
Country C - allies A-B-D
Country D - allies A-B-C

Sure. You can make 6 work, but groups of 4 are the simplest pattern, which from Marshal's response seems to be what he was trying to convey.

Twain, my thinking was just that. The 4 country configuration is simpler. It's easier to keep 4 countries balanced to the same size for max benifit than it would be 6. However Marshal was so exacting in saying "and run 6 countries" I figured he had a reason for 6 over 4 or 8 countires, some little benifit or tweek I had not thought of. I like to study the way others play and what their reasoning is for thier play style. This is a game of math first but it's also a game of sociology. If I can understand how and why people play the way they do it could benifit my play/scores.

fordy- 3b food i dont think is good enough for top 10... probably 4-4.5b minimum IMHO.

Also top 100 is easy, even with all-x.

depends. Last set Donny and ford took the top spots with some market manipulation.

But overall, you're probably right. I think I had (fuzzy memory, so I could be wrong) about 3.5B that I destocked last set to get 6th, but with the easing of building costs, it seems countries have gotten a bit bigger again, so I think there will be a bit of a bump in t10 networths again, especially since it's been, yet again, another very peaceful set.

I'm a little late to the party here JP but if you are running multiple strats 6 techers and 10 farm/cash was really the only way to go before the landtrading changes. I couldn't see it working now.

With the old rules you could get 6 techers to almost 40k acres in 5 trades and 10 farmers to around 100k in 8 or 9 trades. Splitting them 8 and 8 wouldn't allow you to get your farmers/cashers to a high enough land to compete.

I kinda thought playing 6 could have something to do with playing mixed strats. Myself I pick one strat for all my countries and just go with it.
