I dunno about that... I moved over with Mambo and Stankitty from IMP to create USIMP 10+ years ago.

Played with and lead USIMP for 5+ years. Then went over to Swords. Played with and lead Swords for 5+ years.

I won't ever play again though, so I guess you can have it, if it makes you feel important lol

I am the Original Smurf person :)

Not sure how I got here... I think I am lost... Anyways, hey peoples...

How was you being kicked from MD bogus or a raw deal? We were in war. You did not make any hits during the 1st week of war. Yet your country was played 5-6x's everyday. So you were removed for "lack of participation". That makes sense to me. Is there some sort of flawed logic in that?

Don't forget, I was a Senator in Swords in FFA and had you as one of my members and as a leader at one point so I know that you've done this same thing in the past. Multiple Times I might add. I told the MD leadership when you joined what would happen, and they gave you a fair chance. Even after a poor war activity performance in your first war with MD, they still allowed you to stay. Then you follow up that poor performance with not even participating at all in the next war. Did you really expect MD to just let you sit in the tag?

I better say +Bonus post in here, so I don't get in trouble ;) I am heading back to my cage now, and fully expect a beating later.

Check in XI on the FFA server. I think budsmybuds and crazydave are playing there

I'm not calling anyone in particular out. I just don't get why clans would wait until AVG NW is on the line to drop dead weight. If someone hasn't played in over a month that country should have been detagged long before an AVG NW race began.

I guess I just dont understand dumb things =P

PS... Sorry Jax =P I'll get back in my cage

Do clans get some sort of enjoyment when they boot players from there tag to try and cheat there way to win AVG NW?

I approve this Bonus Post

*Waves*

Self Farming is why I am no longer playing on this server. Enjoy playing with yourselves...



(BTW... The game has Troops, Jets, Tanks, Spys and Turrets... What part of that screams that this game is about NW? To me that sounds like a war game... Just Saying...)

True... But war chats already last hours, this only makes it worse. Instead of organized chaos like we have now, we are going to have unorganized chaos because WC Leaders will not be able to stay in chats for 6hrs+ 2x/day.

Instead of making dumb changes like this, change how quickly a country becomes spied out, to add something new to the game, instead of taking something away from the game.

Welcome back to MD :)

Whats your predictions then...

Top 5: 285m
Top 10: 248m
Top 25: 170m
Top 50: 119m


Some of those big cashers could skew my numbers, but I am not sure if they will destock properly.

(If there was another discussion about this, I must have missed it)

Why not... that is the real question

Clear the food @ 37... I want to sell some food at 38 :)

16 of XI countries with no defense were mine. I am not sure if they were detagged or if they are still alive or not. I just had my baby less than a week ago and have not be online to play my countries at all, let alone go to war with them.

Nobody has any stats?

Who's got a list of all stats of all current wars?

Yeah the Bills played a sloppy game yesterday. The Lions played an inspirational game yesterday. It was a great comeback and I gotta say, Calvin Johnson scoring that last touchdown was awesome. He is one of my WR's in Fantasy Football :)

I'll hit 300M with highrock next set too!

Who said anything about all-x countries? I don't run all-x countries on the other servers.


FFA is different though. Everyone either runs all-x, self farms or does land trading. That is why I think this server is pretty much dead and there is no real player interaction.

I said from the start that I am not playing, and that I was just curious if the ANW record was broken only because more people self farmed and land traded. That has obviously be answered.

Well I hope you guys have fun hitting your own countries in FFA then. Nothing fun about that in my book.

Hey I really don't care anymore. Its your server now, not mine. I want no part of it. The game mods obviously wanted this server to go in this direction, so I'll let it go on without me.

I'll continue playing the other servers, where this game still has player interaction. This server is pretty much dead in that regard.

Thanks Rockman. You just helped me illustrate my point. FFA doesn't have player interaction at all. So if you are expecting that, don't bother wasting your time.

Any game with troops, jets, turrets and tanks should not be driven by friendly player interaction. It can be governed by friendly player interaction, but not driven by it. As I said before, if this isn't a war game, change the name of troops/tanks/jets to daisy/lillies/roses so you can really have the game you want to play.

And the threshholds for top 10 - top 100 doubled in two sets because instead of 30% of the players self farming / land trading, its more like 75% now. And of course that's going to happen when the server was designed to drive a big chunk of the anti-self farmers from the server.

Hitting an untag is player interaction.
Hitting yourself is self interaction.

If I wanted self interaction, I'd watch porn, not play a war game.

Exactly my point. The only player interaction is social and not ingame as it should be. This server is boring and stagnant. Nothing ever changes. Either you get hit by NBK, IMP or CC or you dont. Those that do, fluff moan and complain, those that dont, fill up the top 100 with land traded and self farmed countries.

FFA is retarded. You cant win unless you hit yourself. Take a peak at the top 10/25, it speaks for itself.

My point is simple. You have to either hit yourself or farm yourself to win. That's why I don't play FFA anymore. Its not worth my time to play a game designed against player interaction.

Out of curiosity, how many countries in the top 10/25/50 were not involved in land trading or self farming? I'm not playing, so I don't really know.


But if Networth records are being broken, I suspect that 90% of the countries were self farmed and land traded. Am I right?

I was at the Seahawks game on Sunday. I can tell you, T. Jackson looked worse in person than he does on TV. As a spectator with full view of the field, he made horrible decisions on 90% of the plays. He forced throws to Sidney Rice when Rice was covered, but when Rice would finally break coverage and be wide open, T. Jackson would tuck the ball in and try and run with it. Some of our BOO's at T. Jackson were almost as loud as we get on Defense when trying to cause False Starts.

I really don't see more than maybe 1-2 wins left on Seattles Schedule.

Atlanta at Home = Loss
Giants on Road = Loss
Browns on Road = Loss
Bengals at Home (Possible Win)
Cowboys on Road = Loss
Ravens at Home = Loss
Rams on Road = Loss
Redskins at Home = Loss
Eagles at Home = Loss
Rams at Home (Possible Win)
Bears on Road = Loss
49ers at Home = Loss
Cardinals on Road = Loss

In all likely hood Andrew Luck will likely go one of three places.

Vikings, Dolphins or Seahawks.


Chiefs spent alot of money on Matt Cassel and they still believe he is the answer. There problems this year is with Injuries, not QB skill. They've lost just about everyone.


Rams are in no contention for Luck. They have already paid for Bradford. And think he is the long term answer in St Louis.


Colts are the wildcard. If Manning does not get back into playing form by the end of the year, and if the Colts have the #1 pick. They will take Luck. But, If Manning gets back into playing form, and they just hold him out because the Season is lost anyways. I dont see them taking Luck with there pick.



At this point, I'd bet money Andrew Luck will end up with either the Vikings, Seahawks or Dolphins. Since I am a Seahawks fan, I am rooting for my Seahawks.



PS. I was at the Seahawks game. Yeah we won, but it was ugly. Our offense sucked. My best guess is, we will win 1 more home game, but the rest of the season will be filled with L's. Ending with a 2-14 record. And hopefully the worst record in Football :)

Vikings, Rams, Dolphins, Colts and Chiefs need to pull there head out of there ass.


Seattle cannot have this much competition for Andrew Luck...

So... How bout those Bills? Do you all still think they won't make the playoffs after beating the Patriots?

One of the commentors on that thread explained it pretty well.


The government is setup in a GS pay scale type system. Which has years of work requirements for advancement.

Some of the best IT proffesionals are not old, they are young. And because of that, those young IT proffesionals are making far less than someone of the same age and skill set working outside the government.

Until they fix the GS pay scale system which has many many flaws, contracts and contractors will continue to cost Americans a ton of money. Remember, the government is paying the contracting agencies alot of money, but the contractor himself is only making around 50%-60% of that, with the other 40% going to the contracting company.

I know this, because I work in the IT field and have worked for the government.

I think Paulie is pretty close to those ;)

I didn't Bigwiggle :) I don't even think they will grab a Wildcard slot.

@ Bigwiggle

They won't get #1 pick. Manning will be back for 1-3 games, giving them 1-3 more wins than the Seahawks.

We will see who gets the last laugh at the end of the year.


Lions, Redskins and Bills are going to suprise people.


Ohhh another prediction... My Seahawks will get Andrew Luck with the #1 Pick

211m cutoff for Top 10

I already did one of these somewhere...
