I see that rule is enforced consistently. 😉

Bonus. Thanks

I thought I’d get my bit of land before it all gets destroyed. :-)

Yeah I see. Well, lucky for me I always keep a little extra food for a rainy day.

Good luck.

But they can still buy food on the private market?

I think I underestimate your sneakiness!

You’ve got mail?

So they are selling at a lower price than the public market just so there is less food in the market? Sounds very Chairman Mao-ish.

Please explain to me how the private market works - why wouldn’t you just sell in the public market?

Bonus please .

Thanks for the tip

I was going to send all my missiles to 34, but thanks to others I didn’t even need to send of half to make an impact.

A risky strat to grab countries multiple times with no GDI and no SDI.

That moment where you realise you won’t win, and the strategy needs to change 😉

Stop it - I’m dying 😂😂😂

But does refer to self in third person 😂

Haha. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Sometimes it’s nice to wait a few weeks until they have invested time in their country and then send 50 missiles after a final land grab. Mmmmmm

Prices seem reasonable to me ✌🏼

Agree - I was referring to pressure on prices to go back up - ✌🏼

There may be at least one less significant commie in another week. It would put further pressure on military prices. Stay tuned.....

You’ve got your warning, and you’ll remember next next set 😉

XX does not = XY

Bonus point - Smollett off Scott free?

Interesting definition of “relevant information” and how this standard is consistently applied.

I guess next set I will just not send any messages full stop.

When I hit the primary server it says my appeal is still pending - guess not.

See you all next set.

Still pending. I don’t expect to play until the next set. Giving me plenty of time to reflect 😂

Nah, I never use bad language with messages,not even bad insinuations.

See ya next set

Thanks - there weren’t too many days left I’ve given up hope of a successful appeal and will wait for the next set.
Good luck!

Fair enough. But note for future reference I will always retal, and an ror will usually earn 50 or so missiles as I always max out warefare for the first 20 days. If you grab me early in the set and I think you’ll end up towards the top 20, I’ll wait a month before I grab back. Hopefully over time it stops the good players grabbing me. Next time I’ll be more strategic about when I fire missiles.

See you next set.
Cheers

Yeah maybe. One I was allied with, the other country launched missiles just before I was about to, so make the most of the opportunity to go for max damage. That should be allowed but I suspect someone cried.

Hopefully my appeal is successful - I’m not sure what rule I’ve broken.

?? Got deleted for some reason. A few countries I’ve grabbed threatened to report me during the set because they though I was cheating (which is common when you get the upper hand) but I was surprised I got deleted - first time ever in Primary and I’ve been playing since around 2012.

It’s a pretty poor effort if that is the case from the games administrators. And to no be given a reason for which rule has been broken is a little annoying too.
Where are the rule specified around these sorts of things anyway? Thanks

Yeah, he’s been around for years. Probably the best player of the game.

Not sure how you can claim you are not in the “club” when you manage to secure such as useful ally.

I know, thanks. I’ve appealed the decision. Waiting for a response. I wonder what it was that initiated such action?

[quote poster=Sputnik; 46544; 885765]Once at the end of the reset I had half bottle of whisky and some prescription meds. That was a pretty high finish!

I love the assumption round here that my actions are 'dumb', I am a n00b, and I don't know what I'm doing... Yes, that's right you all have me figured out!

I never get to finish, because I am not in the club, and someone has to date taken care of any decent country I run. If that's the game, then fine I will play too!

Jack Kerouac, an author from the Beatnik generation; Miu confuses this with Sputnik, leading to the book's title.

https://en.wikipedia.org/...Generation#Origin_of_name

Kerouac introduced the phrase "Beat Generation" in 1948 to characterize a perceived underground, anti-conformist youth movement in New York.[6] The name arose in a conversation with writer John Clellon Holmes. Kerouac allows that it was Huncke, a street hustler, who originally used the phrase "beat", in an earlier discussion with him. The adjective "beat" could colloquially mean "tired" or "beaten down" within the African-American community of the period and had developed out of the image "beat to his socks",[7][8][9] but Kerouac appropriated the image and altered the meaning to include the connotations "upbeat", "beatific", and the musical association of being "on the beat", and "the Beat to keep" from the Beat Generation poem.[10]

For me, this is a much more interesting game. [/quote]

Not in the club? You’re allied with EEVIL WAR MACHINE. What r u talking about?

After his second hit on me, he send me the message “decision time”. Well, decision was made, and some how I’m now deleted.

Looking forward to next set.

Seems I got deleted for apparent “rules violations” - first time in five years. Not sure what I did wrong, but suspect at least two countries are unhappy they came off second best. A rough set for commies anyway - but felt good to blow off some missiles.

Oh well, see you all next set.
