I only tried it once - years ago. I was hopeless too. It's not so easy as it should be somehow.

I mean, get land, put up farms, buy Agri how tough is that?

But somehow, ...... well I did no good at all.

SkyKing: You jumped with about 16 days left in the set, which is too early (at least for this set; optimal changes each set). Your optimal move would likely have been the following:
a) tech for another 5 days (8.5k tpt including allies*5 days*$1800*94% gives you another $4b)
b) You would jump with about 11 days left in the set and probably at about 21-22m NW at this point. Place all your food on sale on the public market; put 1/4 of all your military and tech on sale for high prices; and convert to a theocracy. You will lose about 25% of your NW from this switch in government but you get a cheaper private market ($222/nw)
c) I'm assuming you had about $7b to jump from 20m to 50m assuming $230/nw from the public market and maybe still have $1b left. Add that to the $4b you get from teching 5 extra days, you will have about $12b to spend after your bushels sell (being conservative here and assuming you sell your bushels at no gain or loss; could be either way depending on market prices). $12b will get you about 53M nw from your PM over a period of about 8 days.
d) resell for the last 3 days or so.

Starting NW prior to jump: 21M NW
NW after conversion to theocracy: 15.75M NW (assumes 25% loss, should be less)
NW after jumping from PM for 8 days: 15.75 + 53 = 68.75M NW
NW after reselling for last 3 days = ~70M NW (assumes a gain of about 500k/day from reselling)

That should probably be at least 10M higher than what you are going to finish I believe.

Need more info. Are you a rep casher? If so keep stocking. Demo casher? Market play can help, and going DMBR might be a good idea, but not quite yet. The casher? Why? :P Dict casher? Should've kept grabbing.

Granseal almost certainly jumped too soon. I think he may have been a little confused abou timing, it's his first set back in a long time.

Mmmmm... Blow me to hell. Sounds awesome...

/me drifts off into thought
