I won’t even play alliance except to war evo from this point forward.

You did the same thing this set iirc and we're killing it and you're dead like 5x. Because we have the best allies, the best community, and really excellent players*. Good luck.

So, I ask again:

Who is running #426 Monarchy of Collective Punishment?

The alternative is that we build for War for the coming sets and take everyone with us to Hell again.

At that point we retalled and hit evo because it’s the obvious weak point.

No idea what you think you are accomplishing with the silly gotcha game. If you haven’t noticed I don’t actually care about fitting in or what others think in general.

I don’t even care if everyone thinks I am the bad guy in all of this. This silly virtue signaling behavior is just so goofy imo.

Clear statement about attacking us for no reason. You are supremely bad at justifying your positions... whatever that might be.

It's very clear as to what the threats were and weren't. And then when you opp'd folks that you were targeting that was action on intent and we had plenty of reason to prosecute. There was confirmation about aiding warring alliances (for anyone being neutral on the war, seeing that is clear justification). The list goes on.

I truly hope you can turn your ship around at some point.

I think if you start using wierd bots and dedicating your life to the internet you’ve already lost the plot.

Trust me I will sleep through many kill runs and not care

You obviously care. Why else would you waste your time with all of your insane, crybaby rants on AT?

We netted peacefully.
You consistently harassed and threatened us blaming us for things we verifiably did not do.
You spied SoL.
You spied and were prepping to missile fs Evo.
You FA'd M4D during their war.

You still haven't learned the rules of the community. You don't need to worry about pursuing eternal war with anyone. You've painted a wonderful target on yourselves.

I'm supremely smart and extraordinarily handsome. Just wanted everyone to know. In fact, I wish these forums had avatars so I could show off my handsomeness more readily. My handsomeness is clearly demonstrated by my country building ability and my masterful political navigation. It has nothing to do with my ability to be a reasonable negotiator and to respect other alliances and the societal norms that we've constructed. It's all in the combover.

From an neutral outsider perspective it does seem like they've been working out the kinks in their warchats. Good to see folks sticking with the game and not falling off after being killed. SoL and Stones are tough opponents!

False, You attacked us which is boldly documented in multiple threads. We and our allies defended ourselves and instead of continuing to pursue you we started netting peacefully again. Why do you not get that.

If we wanted to cause you problems we'd be killing you right now.

I have seen no proof that spy ops are even happening to you. I feel as though you are trying to doctor a false CB in order to pick on netters again and not feel as guilty about it this time.

I imagine you waking up to a loud noise in the middle of the night and yelling "EVO DID THIS TO ME!!!".

We are very clearly netting at this point so I'm not sure what good spying you would do for us. Is there any point to this? Have you bothered to think through what gain we would have from spying on you?

I think it would just be better if you guys get your coalition to quit attacking us.

Well I think it would be better if you stopped throwing out false accusations.

Confirmed. To my knowledge there's been zero FA packages ent but the support from the several alliances that have helped us kill the suiciders off has been invaluable and very appreciated by us number crunching stock nerds =) Evo will not forget the support.

You Old folks are cooking your own Goose. You say that you want new players but how’s that going to work? LMAO.

Some new player signs up only to be raped down to 500k NW by the bullies of the game.

Then he tries to fight back. But he can’t.

You think that “New” player is going to stick around?

Good luck with that.

So it’s a safe retirement home. Where old gamers go to nibble on each other then fade away.

Could be my last set.

The game and community have built societal rules. Adapt, learn how to use them to win. Reach out and we can talk about your concerns.

I think it would be a mid ground to allow clan admins to designate specific tags as friendly or do not hit. At the point of making an attack a warning to the attacker would show asking them to confirm the attack. Would prevent more accidental hits and fat fingerings and also be a moderate way to implement in game politics.

I disagree. It has great potential but the 4 hour time to market makes it extremely difficult to be effective at arbitrage. Name a demo that made top 10 other than switching to demo for destock.

But demo could be much more viable all set long if TTM was reduced.

Demo's have a reduce market cost but I think demo's could be a lot more effective as a strat if the time to market for goods and tech was reduced by half. If the goal is to increase market interaction for Demo techer it would be vastly more useful if they could respond more quickly with a 1-2 hour time to market for sales.

Great round overall. Amazing to see what netting can look like nowaday compared to the olden days. Would like to see less shenanigan suiciding and more skilled competition to settle old debts but proud of those that persevered and put up solid finishes.

A few shoutouts:
-Mercs for being great allies and helping dispatch suiciders this round and still putting up some top 10s (several other tags did also)
-En4cer was our one LaF pickup last round and he was an absolute gentlemen, even after being suicided and help mentor some returning old-timers.
-Doug and PDM were fantastic to work with through several concerns and overall just being super inviting back to the community
-Monsters had a great set ruined by punks and stayed open and friendly in the face of adversity

Keep up the great work folks o/
Looking forward to connecting with more folks this round!

I think it would be interesting to change the formula to curve rather than linear percentage. For example, when you have 200k land and get an earthquake and lose 0.5% of your buildings it's not the same as when you have 5k land.

Likewise for cash booms. A cash boom at 200k land might yield you 20-30m more cash on turn but you might lose a half billion in cash worth of building cost for an earthquake to put it in perspective.

So creating a curve of rewards and penalties would be potentially really valuable.

Anyone interested in working together on a global community reunion? Inviting all the retired folk back? It seems most of the hosting forums still exist so we should have a collective treasure trove of emails.

We had a lot of fun seeing Evo folks come back this set and there's tons more we'd love to see yet. I'm sure everyone else could use a dose of nostalgia. In fact it might even give the bored suiciders something constructive to do ;)

There's two weeks left in the set. If anyone is interested please reach out!

Probably going to be super unpopular with this one because of the many robust bots that exist. But I believe in another post Qz suggested that he would be "fixing" the game official IRC server. I'm curious if it would be a good time to consider moving to discord which is a much more robust platform with a great API.

Hate away but figured I would suggest considering it as a community.

(I say this but I still have my IRC scripts and logs saved in a file from when I played decades ago and I'm unwilling to delete them lol)

Been a few years since I played a round and just noticed the price cap on units (Ex. troops can be sold for a max of 3-400ish). Why are we capping this? If someone wants to sell troops for $999 why not let them? I forget the history on this mechanic.

En Route: xx Tanks on sale for $xx each (Arrive in 155.5 mins)
En Route: xx Jets on sale for $xx each (Arrive in 167.1 mins)
En Route: xx Troops on sale for $xx each (Arrive in 3.3 hours)

Just curious about the time to market. These three sale* orders were submitted all at the same click. Is there a mechanic that defines a different time to market by unit type or simply staggering by count of unit? Feels odd and wasn't sure if this was a bug.
