How? This is part of the risk of hitting someone, and it's days old.

Is the buying from private thing solely to stop the money being injected back into the competition? Surely the cost difference is such it's worth buying public a lot, if not most, of the time?

Get'em Alin. I have a few to keep in mind for next sets as well for RoRing me. It is quite simple: if you don't want to be retalled, don't hit a player who has 400 turns on hand and doesn't begin playing until Friday. I play all-x, but when I get grabbed, I usually retal. If a person doesn't want to give up 1000 acres to a retal, don't fluffing hit me.

Crimson, is it really you?

Did you sell some tanks? I thought at one point you had too many, then all of a sudden you didn't and 76 had bundled mine then jumped, and a spy op on you said I had enough, though only for the sake of show.

But 76 was spying me within seconds of my original retal so it was pretty clear what was coming.

Anyhow the main lesson here is that big batch explores with unbuilt land on the basis you can suck up hits then grab back later doesn't work, at least not as fat as I got, especially when the retals just make you fatter and juicier.

It's not messed up, it's playing the game.

They make a a risk/benefit call on whether you want to war or not, and take a chance on you wanting a decent finish. The last 4 resets I can only see one example of a t10 finish after a RoR and that was presumably Alin. If your objective is the finish it ain't worth doing, particularly as it's probably set wrekcking for the otherside as well so they've not got a lot of interest in doing anything except making it rain cannon balls.

Sad and lonely as it is to admit, I did do it with a calculator, so it's right.

I'm all good thanks. Though I'd have liked to given Kevnuts some love as well, and you've seen away my tanks..

yes, even if you have 300 turns on hand, I will still hit you because if u're good enough to get a t3, you wouldn't cash out 200 turns just to retal me, that's just not optimal.

But there's no way of knowing who's good enough to t3 is there, unless it's a known name, and as Netsquash points out they're almost guaranteed to hit you back.

As for the GDI set up and stored turns whining - its the same 15 turns an hour for everyone - if your strat burns through the turns that's your problem, and it's childish to complain about people stacking them and hitting you later.

It's great fun when someone RoRs for a big retal. If you bugger about hitting for 70 acres early you're going to get hit back for hundreds or thousands more often than not. And then you've screwed your own finish. Good plan...

To paraphrase

" I don't think you country's good enough to hurt me"

"80 CS doesn't seem to be hurting me :)"

"I'm going to take thousands of acres off you every day"

I've saved you the trouble. Have 9650 virgin acres.

This is my handle. EE Mr Ed is dead, he was me, but apparently making this obvious and playing the same name each set is hiding to you. I'll be here next week, and so will you, but no doubt with a different name as usual so the bigger boys don't pick on you too early in the set.

I've got a spy that says at turn 1511 you were producing 166k when you claimed you were doing 190k. There's no maths involved.

Getting mad at a guy and putting him in DR, then he topfeeds everyone and gets 30k land, and then just before he comes out of DR, you start hitting him again. One of the dumbest things I've ever seen a player do. Helping the guy you're trying to hurt accomplish his topfeeding goals. Moron

Yeah, the whining then was hilarious.

and ive proven you're a liar and your word is vaild for nothing. I havent ran a single turn since I bought/sold some items with higher production then you posted. Also you said you did it after the grab which I was at 1509 turns played nkt 1511. Which again im not at now and producing 176k with only 2 turns played to op 46 without changing tech and another 1700 acre loss. You're a bad troll a poor liar and you came with witts = to bringing a knife to a tank battle.

Well, I've got the spy op on 1511 taken, which is the same number of turns as the info you posted. I'm not entirely sure how you've proved I'm a liar?

What you're on now is completely irrelevant.

No, it's done after #58 hit you and before I did. So it's when you were claiming you were doing 190 a turn.

"Yah before 58 hit me I was making 220k a turn...."

Suppose I'd better not trust those spy reports if they're underestimating production (and that's before consumption) by 15% against your advisor then. He's a good one, how do I get my own.
