Why don't practically any of your countries have spies? Geez, that could really do some damage me thinks.

Thank God, for I'm a blessed man.

its always been a netters downfall..

<bsnake> 68,270,386 turrets whats that in NW??
<Crippler> 115m NW
<Bsnake> 38 mill NW nub... thanks for your netting advice.. Stick to killing nub

I've always kept spies, then again, I am still on my way to being considered a netter. $50.4M during a lazy set might count, but as far as I'm concerned, when I can get one or more countries above $100M then I can deserve that distinction.

I always love to laugh my ass off when you get a message saying:

3.2 days ago
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (#xxxx) attempted to stir rebellions in your country! You killed 2557 enemy spies.

Spies are only necessary if you think you're gonna war .. suiciders are persistent little fluffers

They're a necessity if you're still in the state of mind that you'll never be left alone even if you are playing in your own tag, going All-Ex, Not grabbing anyone outside your tag, making hits only when they're retals, and keeping a low profile.

A decade later and I still have people up my ass for fluff I did back then.

Agreed. Keeping production at 100% Spies and buying your own military helps, even if you have maybe 500-750 IC's. :)

Ignoring Slash's ramblings of something he knows nothing of. (netting) Why not 300 IC at 100%? A few spies can mean a dead netter and a wounded netter? I mean come on. 0 spies on 30k+ acres on SEVERAL countries, not that I noticed or anything? :P

Uhm, I'm learning. Last set was the first time I *actually* tried netgaining.

I have about five more in the $47-50M neighborhood. Gimme a couple sets, granted Elysium aren't at war to improve my networths.

Well... Here's a few things for you to consider: I am still on the fence in regards to self-farming. I am still trying to understand land-trading. I've been setting what I consider to be realistic goals for myself and haven't disappointed myself yet.

I couldn't give two fluffs about competing against anyone for networth, and as far as it is all concerned I've grown sick of war, it's all I have been doing in Alliance Server for the last two years. I want to netgain, and I'll go anywhere where I have the guarantee of having people who'd teach me, which is why I am in Elysium.

what he means to say nightshade, is that all - explorer commies get more than 50m nw. you have to try exceptionally hard to not go over 50m when you dont get touched all set lol.

Depents

Not maxing tech early enough, missing turns, getting a SPAL of +100 while netting, all of those are networth killers :P

In the case of NS is probably a combination of low tech + high Spal :)
