Dude the only $$$ I sent to merc was because they did a KR last set when suicides came.

I did not finance a war. Boy I could have. That’s what I find so cowardly. I had a 1 Bil NW country and get sucker punched from behind lol at least call a man out instead of that. I just cannot imagine behaving in such a cowardly manner

Answer your own question BH.

When your clan members attacked my clan this set (Snake) did I go pedal to the metal and start killing everyone it did I handle it in a fair and reasonable way?

Thats what I would I expect a moderator to do for me as a new player here. I would expect the game to be managed more professional or At least equal to what I did.

Dude I honestly don’t even care about the game that much to do the 50 pages of arguing over it, that was wack and that’s all I have to say

It was cowardly to not call us out like a man and it was wack. I’m done on the topic that’s all I have to say

Just the pure cruelty and spite to blind side someone who spent 2 months on a huge country that’s a new player.

That’s exactly the type of behavior I’ve seen since I’ve been back and I would just like to point it out.

I’m with superfly this type of behavior is ruining the game

Wait Bh, understand this is my second set in a row a moderator has tried to ruined my set.

I don’t even care about the war or evo or merc or Laf or this server, I’m done with this server. For sure. So let’s put that behind us I don’t even care about it.

The one thing I want to stress is galleri has done a GREAT job but since I’ve been back the unprofessional moderation and culture it has set here by some people has totally ruined the game for me. I don’t recall it being like this before and I don’t know what changed but I can see why so many have left the game.

Needs to be fixed because it’s not worth investing the amount of time I did to experience that. I think I’ll take a break and maybe come back one day. I think I’m done with this server though this was super wack.

If we had actually wanted to war we could have, this is why you had to resort to such cowardly tactics instead of calling us out for a fight.

Not surprising. Nobody can hang with any of us on a solo server so have to resort to this. Laughable.

I came to this server 3 sets ago and was told it was so difficult to impossible to make top ten.

Easily did so within a set, left with the impression we have a bunch of haters up in this ****

Anyways I’m not tripping it just seems like a waste of time to invest time in a game that is managed so badly. This is like my multiple set ive had ruined theough sketchy behavior.

I’m not even mad at you BH I know your new.

I’m just shocked at the amount of unprofessional behavior I’ve seen since I’ve been here to say the least. I think this game needs someone without a conflict of interest managing it because clearly that is not the case and it seems a waste of time to play it as it is. A shame considering I used to love this game.

I do believe that’s the last I will play these sketchy servers for sure

Considering not investing anymore time into this game. Seems a bit ridiculous to spend two months (I had 1 bil NW country) to be blindsided by a group led by a moderator

This happened last set as well.

I would like our countries re instated or l think I’m done guys. Most of you were a great community and I had a blast but this type of behavior among people with power has totally ruined the game for me.

Welcome to the club, the guys here are great. They fight among each other but it’s a big fam. It is cool. Blow of some steam and make a few friends. It is a unique game.

Watch out for this dubious character named Superfly though. Think of him as this troll that you will meet who will jump out from under a bridge and bludgeon you. Its something we all went through. Your official once that happens.

Sounds like you have a crush on someone

Haha I’ve known him for years, I just like messing with him. Superfly played when I used to years and used to play his late turn commies. Fun times. Superfly and then Ebert was running Death From Above and I think Andrew was running Swamp Guardian around that time as well. Great matches. Ebert was so good at that theo techer. I never could keep with his pace.

When you do that tech start spend like 5 turns on warfare tech so you have missiles. That should help keep you be a little safer. Missiles scare most people away from breaking GDI because they do so much damage on big countries. A lot of missiles is maybe the best defense to prevent being farmed, besides being at the top anyways.

Primary is very hard, you are walking into the lions den there. Maybe try and go play with one of the clans on alliance or practice on express. Express is very fun too it it is great for practice. If you go play with a clan they will teach you and share strategies.

Here, try this walk through. It should help you a massive amount to get started and figure things out a little.

a 10,000 acre techer that stocks early can hit around 50 mil, so these techers grabbing to 30,000 + acres and finishing at 30 mil and using all of their turns to do 50 acre land grabs (instead of a few 500-800 acre grabs and using those same turns to tech and make $$$) are losing a substantial amount of money. I would compare it to the games equivalent of an empire that spends all of their $$$ on frivolous adventures overseas and then comes home with little to show for it.

I have no idea A-Rod I’ve been wondering that myself. You have about 3 guys that run tyrannies and they will grab the bots until they can’t get good gains. Maybe the mods should give them their own bots so they can ruin
The game for themselves but not you as well. Seems more fair if someone is going to do something like that to not ruin it for everyone. Or maybe more bots.

I don’t know but what a stupid thing to do 50 acres per turn lmao there’s same guys never finish over 20-30 mil tops because of this silly stuff

Good vibes thread.

When I first came to this community I had been gone for a long hiatus. I contacted players from almost every clan, skol, tmac, nitell, gerdler. Just to name a few.

What I found where all of these guys where extremely nice and went out of their way to help me. I found it to be a very positive experience and it was a fun time playing. I will probally leave soon and come back some years later but I just wanted to leave some good vibes.

I thought it needs to be said because I havent seen it said.

Thank you guys for going way out of your way to be kind and help me through no gain of your own. Truly there are some nice people I’ve found here.

I'm going to second this Cat. I started playing EE about a month ago. I've asked plenty of players for advice and every person has generiously helped me become a stronger player. This community is filled with alot of amazing people that want this game to survive.

Welcome to the club man glad to have you. Glad others are finding the same, now if we can just get the rest of the world to start doing it as well ha

I’m not very good at playing a farmer

I prefer the ease of game play of casher and can’t manage selling on the market,

I had bushels stuck at 44 that didn’t sell, they were returned from the market after 48 hours, so I started with bushels today when I logged in and ran turns.

I forgot to save a turn to sell, so I just sold all my food on my own PM at 33. Now I just checked market and see that there is literally no food for sale and a bid price of 45, haha

Max your military strat and you can sell on public for $38. When I hit 75 mil on express with the fascist I didn’t even sell on the public market one time if I remember correctly. Usually unless prices are over 45 and I have extra bushels, I won’t sell on public because of that.

Techer is what gets me because if your tech doesn’t sell, you can’t play turns. Commie has this issue as well over on team I hear from the other guys. It would be cool if techer and Indy had a private market option, casher is already the same since if the market is empty you just use private market and it usually works fine. That’s the main reason everyone is playing fascist is the market limitations of the other strats, you can see it most over on team where entire teams are fascists and the market routinely goes totally empty.

Many of us here have went on a rampage, been an *** and made a lot of people mad. They will get over it just chill out and give it time. Tmacs a good dude and Andrew is too. If your sincere and nice to them I’m sure they will get over it in time, although I cannot speak for them. That was really a **** move on Andrew though. He worked a long time on that thing and it was a special set that will be hard to replicate with the biggest clan in a war.

But I’m sure you can redeem yourself, I’m
