Congrats all. Discuss! BTW way to freak up the all 100M top ten caffeine:( lol

Folks, it's blid who won. Congrats :)

So many choices - edfjr
Inches - reroll

Congrats blid!!

Incha is reroll

lmao! that bastard! I figured that was him since he seem to know too much haha

i wish i didn't screw up so bad the past 4 days or it might've been closer. But blid beats me hands down.

Thanks yall.

edfjr - Wow. Amazing fascist. That's a tough government. Was that with corruption bonus?

We would have had an easy all 100m top ten if Viva didn't fight Xinhuan. Both would have been up near 120m I think.

You missed crest's Demo record by like 500k. You had a really great round.

blid what bonus did u go btw? I spied u 10-14 days ago and you had no stock on hand which I thought was very weird if u went corruption.

And congrats! As you figured from my PM you did much better than I expected. I liked the topfeed you had on aqua midset that I think actually benefited you both (def. helped you)

lol if i wasn't greedy, i would've beat it by 1.5m net at least

but i priced my tanks at 589 instead of 569
i priced my turrets at 194 instead of 172 like i wanted to. I also priced my jets 184.

fml my pm wasn't even a quarter tapped.

good job alls of you.. i'll need about twice as much land in half the time next reset to join you.. lets go top twenty five! :p

I think it was neutral for aqua because he had enough offense to retal me and to make another attack and keep up his daily rate of land gain. That was just a spontaneous decision to hit him after I spied on him trying to figure out how he was doing so well - he was doing amazing. I don't think it had much impact on the outcome for either of us. BTW, I'm not sure if it was a "top feed" technically or more of a "land trade"?

Not sure how many days ago I started stocking but when you make over 41m/turn you can stock pretty quickly. I did mostly expense bonus early (turns maybe once or twice) and then PCI late.

Congratts to all, especially you, blid :D

All 3 hits combined push me back quite a bit considering the fact all 3 were big hits.

Yeah they were big but they come with big retals. With me and Incha you gained land after retaling AND were able to make a second hit as well on top of it. So as best I could tell the costs of those two hits were confined to the days they took place and didn't cost anything going forward. Those hits actually helped you grow, but you could have grown as much and finished just slightly higher without them.

The bad one was the Power of Darkness hit. Not only did you lose land on your retal but also everything Power of Darkness did can be called into question. I reckon that one cost you roughly 5m networth off your final net which bothered me a lot when my estimations showed I would beat you by 4m. Also he had the wrong type of buildings.

I regret hitting you for my part. It was partly jealousy/competitiveness due to your great country and partly just convenient since I had just taken your op and saw it was an easy break.

Gaining land i did, however i also had to rebuild the land back also. So in the end those turns i could be cashing into tech or food whichever it may be was used to rebuild the land.

good thing nobody hit me. I made it hard by keeping weapons at a constant 147%. Had i lost over 5k in one hit, I would've warred for it since i stacked missiles early and always keep moderate sdi.

Congrats bild, very nicely done. And the rest of you as well.

Hehe 4th ain't so bad. No I didn't use corruption bonus. I went with -40.5% expense, then switched to food booms.


On a sidenote, I had zero DA's and OA's all round lol

Wow!

congrats on proving me wrong and getting 100M rob. I'd say generally my predictions were fairly good tho=).

congrats blid and congrats to all the top 9. magnificent for you to all get $100m+

i'm gutted for xinhuan. you'd have been well into the top 10 were it not for vivanick and power of darkness

i shoulda had $100m. :-(

I forgot to cash my last day turns! :(

Wouldn't have changed much, but i should have got to 80 mils.

Grats Blid and grats all! :)

Congrate blid & others :p

grats all!

I've estimated I would finish about 115-116m alongside ingle and bobby. My finishing prediction for ingle was accurate: 116m, I traded ops with him (he is my D ally, the other being aqua), my finishing prediction for Bobby was lower than what he finished because he had hidden some food stock (about 5m worth) I didn't account for lol, sneaky guy!

Aqua and ingle's finishes should have been about 1m NW higher due to the double PS on me (they both lost 1m NW each as D allies).

Good work blid, I didn't expect you to finish above 135m.

Good job blid!

Nice. : D

Thanks guys. Xinhuan, I was actually calculating over 140m for most of the last few days, and only on the second last day did I start realizing it would come under that mark.

great finish though in a highly competetive set blid.

no commies in the t3 for the first time since the THIRD set!

i know it's been said before, but mad props to the fascist. you basically doubled the previous record.

Thanks everyone for making primary fun and competitive, i feel like this is the one server where skill prevails over cheap tactics. Hopefully this set i can finish better than the top 20, maybe i'll try not teching for once.

teching should be profitable this set.

No it will suck. Dont play it :)

commie should be nice this set :D
