If anything has come out of this mess, it's that there's no such thing as 'ex-'RD.

It would be nice to have xin's "Top 10 reset records" stickied, Red.

Rules clarifications and 'reminders' could be merged too... keep the server specific 'rules' in the same thread.

Fail.

You need to receive $20,000 to gain 1nw.
Conversely you need to sell 2 troops / 1.166r jets or turrets / 1/2 a tank to lose 1nw.

So you would only *gain* networth from military sales if you massively overpriced your goods (which you can't do, as there's a ceiling price).

I'm assuming you had a good night out last night :P

But yeah, I tend to run 1:1 with a tendency to have slightly more jets than turrets early on, and slightly more turrets than jets later in the set.

There's no hard and fast rule though - you may have to make a retal and suddenly have a surfeit of jets for a few days.

This is a really elegant and simple solution, though it makes tech starts a bit more difficult to 'get right' (which is a minor thing really...). It would be impossible to get the full 10% though, given that you're always going to have CS and/or indies - this may not matter much.

Originally posted by qzjul:

Right; but it really becomes a strat-specific pact then; if we could make it so techers could use it for TPT and indies/farmers/cashers/oilers could use it for production, then that would seem more balanced...

I also like this idea - just keep it as above, where you gain 10% of whatever your ally is producing, restricted by the number of {production bldg}/total acres = %

Actually it still fits - you can't *count* '5',it's not a quantity, but a number with the quality of '5'. Just as the number 6 is a number with the quality of '6'.

If you can count it, it's quantitative, and you use 'fewer'.
If you can't count it, it's qualitative, and you use 'less'.

"I could find my keys if there was less mess on my desk." (you can't count 'mess').
vs
"I could find my keys if there were fewer pokémon on my desk." (You can, obviously, count 'pokémon'... once you've caught them).

Also,12345555 vs 12345678 - there are fewer 5s in the second number, but the first number is "less than" the second (until it's used as "I have 12345555 pokémon, when it becomes 'fewer' than the number (12345678) of pokémon you have...)

Aaaaaaaaaaand, I like the changes, thanks qz :)

Yeah, if you start a batch of turns at a rate of 40a per turn, you will get (on average, due to variation) 40a for all of those batches turns, no matter how many 'explore rate break points' points you go through during the batch.

With teching, if you tech 10 turns at 500 tpt, and you get an earthquake on turn 1 of the batch, you'll still generate 5k tech over 10 turns.

If you teched 1 turn at a time and had an earthquake on the first turn, all subsequent turns would be teched at a lower TPT unless you rebuild the acres.

No, if you batched 50 turns, you'll produce 50xTPT (at the start of the batch) over the full number of batched turns, even if your TPT changes several times during the batch.

It's the same with batch exploring.

I tend to agree, but we'll hopefully have some options to allow assigning countries to different handles if some want their anonymity preserved to a small extent

Decided I liked Locket's suggestion that country news/ownership NOT be opt in, but be mandatory.

This might encourage people to act more decently towards each other, or at the least, remove the ability for griefers to go unnamed/shamed where appropriate.

And who knows- if people act less like fluffheads towards each other, this 'toxic community' we have might become a little less toxic.
