Evidently being a good netgainer is overrated, why not just suck and let others make up for it?
I know I suck at this game, everybody knows that.
I'm just a big newb running a dumb rainbow.
Of course, I could have cleared 320 mil NW destocking as a dict, without any thought of a buyout.
But I didn't think that'd be enough.
Why? Because I saw the way Osso was screwed over last reset.
I saw that with the perspective of a country who was in line for 285 mil NW before RANDOM suiciders struck me in the name of DEFEATING THE EVIL LANDTRADING SCOURGE, knowing that I'd be the one FA'd down when the time came.
(as I had been in the set before that)
The game is changing, FINALLY. It's refreshing. Think outside the box.
I traded land with what I consider the "best landtrader" on the server based on tech/build just before the stocking phase, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't topping 325 mil NW without aid. If you'd like to refute that with substantive fact, be my guest.
Or don't, I don't care.
I may suck, but I won't get fooled again :)
All I know is this game is FUN again because you're not married to your stupid little cookie cutter strat that was written in 1998. For shaking up and bettering a truly stagnant, stale game, I give much credit and thanks to pang.
