I'm just playing one set again for PDMs 75th and thought, "Well, what the heck. I'll build more EZ's than res'!" Problem is, I have no point of reference to know if there is any benefit to what I'm doing. So, my tax revenues, (This doesn't include expenses and is not my $$ per turn btw), are $9,727,000 on 16486 acres, 8235 EZs and 7280 Res'. Bus/Res is sitting around 178% and 177% Bus/Res. Thoughts? Am I crazy? (Probably) Anyone have a comparison they could share that's similar?

Hrm, going to have to re-read the third book... They're throwing things in there that I don't remember being there this early on =P Good second episode... I hope the directors don't turn this into Heroes... Trying to focus on too many characters at once is hard to follow by times and introducing the amount of characters they just did last night... wow! lol.

I'm surprised no one has brought this up... But wasn't anyone else frustrated by woman Missendai rather than the child she was supposed to be? I thought it was a good start... But very crammed as others have said. It looks to be the same coming up in ep. 2 based on the previews. I was really looking forward to the response Jon gave Mance in the books during their encounter scene too... Ah, we can't have it all when it comes to an on screen adaptation:P

Here's a neat little article for you:

Sweet KILLER.

"In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.

By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick she just knew she was dying.

She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.

She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.

On March 19, I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS.

I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment.

I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! I e-mailed her an article my friend, a lawyer, had sent. My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but, she sure felt a lot better.

She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.

Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind. In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda.. and literally dying a slow and miserable death

When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery. And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME,' marketed as'Nutra Sweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.

Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.

In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly.

This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. During a lecture, I said, 'If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs,
Cramps,
Vertigo,
Dizziness,
Headaches,
Tinnitus,
Joint pain,
Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!' People were jumping up during the lecture saying,'I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?'

Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious problem. Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!

Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates.

It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!

These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.'

Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!

Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the 'diet products' and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.

Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE.. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, Seizures, Depression, Manic depression, Panic attacks, Uncontrollable anger and rage.Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well. Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.

So called 'behavior modification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed.Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place!Most of these children were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis with the very foods that were 'better for them than sugar.'It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.

Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.

There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.'

Alliances police themselves to a point. Sometimes some members of the community are just ticking time bombs... you know they will snap you just don't know when. Keeping those kinds of members in check is hard sometimes and you just want to not deal with them anymore... but the alliance structure keeps most of the people here playing the game these days. I don't think there are many players out there who would still be here if not for their community. rough way to end out the set though. Freakin' sucks.

So then a better question to this aspect may be such: At what point does a grab become an aggressive land grab, (aka: fluff move), and how should alliances handle and deal with high land transactions =P Because at some point, grabs do become aggressive and border on the line of "friendly". I envision a war or two fought over landgrabs.

I'd be roaring peeved... And yes, it has already happened to me this set. $2b necessary to build/rebuild after roughly 10k acres exchanged. With the large amount of land being exchanged in pure retals I could see new retal policies being developed in the future...

Well, you won't see my land retaller country in the t10 I don't think... After a certain point, retals get too expensive to cope with and rebuild from... 8-10k land + ghost acres in an exchange takes roughly 50 turns to rebuild, (With a BPT of 200), but also $1-2bill to rebuild... Altogether not worth it at all

The only thing out of the ordinary is the double SS retal made on a LaF country... And that is well within the retal policy and actually benefited LaF as the initial hit on a PS would not have reached the 80% mark. Other than that all looks good =P

I'd like to offer the term "Ghost Gaining" into this to put off the stigma of "Land trading" per se... where the two parties involved hit each other and expect the retals.

regardless, I don't think it's fair to say that someone who takes advantage of this gaining to get a 50k acre country is going to get a 250+m finish... I admit to not being the most skilled player, but I've only gotten a finish of $135m using GG to get there, (That country was 50k acres with 4 weeks of stocking). I believe the market influences a finish more than anything, as Magellan I believe has pointed out in another thread somewhere. I believe this set will go to a casher around 30-40k acres. This is gonna be nuts regardless
