wait... does this mean its better to attack someone with more land and same nett xin? :D

xin, h20, i'll think about your advise. perhaps i'll try it out next round.

xinhuan,
i'm a demo which needs 3 turns per attack. bottomfeeding 3 times will cost me 9 turns. i am attacking ppl of the same nett because i get way more land compared to bottom feeding and with less turns. also if ppl fail the retal(which they should but arent damnit. i have 150% weapons tech! lol), its 2 days worth of bottomfeeding in 1 attack.

also, this is my second set in primary after a very, very, very long time. i've been playing mostly express. and in express, bottomfeeding just aint the way to go. we get ppl there who just sits there waiting for big countries to bottomfeed on them then do retals. i was thinking the same thing applies here. IN A WAY, karim proved this to be true.

another thing is that by bottomfeeding we hit more ppl meaning higher chances of hitting someone who will decide to go all jetter just to retal you.

we expect retals coming no matter how we play and who we hit, so why not hit fatter countries of the same nett, use less turns and gain the same if not more land?

just my point of view here... i could definitely be wrong. i will adapt as i go along.


Karim,
we just play differently and have different opinions. its gonna be tough for both of us to agree. so lets just continue playing the way we play. if we end up bumping into each other and going to war, then so be it. ok?


The Cloaked,
i have every intention to avoid losing land to retals. the ppl i hit usually have 1-3m less jets compared to my turrets. also, they dont have 150% weapons tech.

i will try to end up in the top 10. :D

sorry mate... i wasnt topfeeding. they were around the same nett when i attack. they were land fat without enough def. i aint an alljetter.

yo... just saw this post... have not been in the forums in a while.

thai seafood salad is me.

so the 72 hour retal window is not applicable?

karim, if only you had less spies... forced to let this one go. i will however seize the chance to farm you if i get it. .

next set, i hope you hit me early on. :D

and really, no 72 hour window ppl?

pls dont...

hey thanks man... ccleaner worked... :D

pele from elitez?

err.. braden... i'm saying we have different opinions... how is that a split infinitive?

you playing in primary this set LATC? i need tech allies. :D

decided to tech as well... pls msg me if anyone is interested in an alliance. thanks.

guys guys, i think we just have different opinions.

you guys think its fine to go all jets for a retal.
i think its an invitation to farm you.

you think its wrong to farm you because you go all jets for a retal.
i think its the right thing to do to an idiot and prick.

you think i havent learned.
i think you are just too stupid to even undertand.

you think that i'm a moron.
i think you're idiots.

fair? :D

would love to find 3 tech start cashers if possible. pls msg me if interested... thanks. :D

sunob

that monarchy casher i me. :D

first set in primary after years... i'll hope to do better next set. :D

i'm sure we'll meet somehow... i have that kinda luck.

yo... read...

i was thinking maybe i should give you a chance and maybe your nick was just referring to the other party but i guess i am right...

1. you cant farm me unless you know my country name.
2. you cant farm me unless you actually play.
3. you cant farm me if you go all jetter. i'll be way ahead of you. you would probably be able to get 1 or two hits in. then i farm you. well... unless you drop the land you grabbed. then there's nothing i can/would want to do. :D

of course they can retal. its not their 'right' to retal but they sure can. no one can stop them. really... no one. just like no one can stop me from farming them because they came at me with an all jetter or they were pricks.

well... actually... the admins can if they wanted too... lol. seriously... if it was a person's 'right' to retal, shouldnt they code it in so that people cant ROR?

and before you say that its also not my 'right' to farm an all jetter, i never said it was. i just said that i hate em and em pricks and i'll farm them whenever i meet them even if it means throwing out a good set.

and you're right... "different strokes for different folks ". lets leave it at that? :D

err... i see a country that goes berserk anytime anyone hits it twice...

thats just the same with me... anytime i meet a prick or an alljetter... i farm them...

we're different yet the same... :D

nuke: i agree with you totally about it being easy to take away privileges and harder with rights.

but err... whats makes it a right to retal once a landgrab? or why is it a privilege to retal or landgrab more than once?

btw... whats was your country? wanted to check the history...

sorry... i didnt notice your name earlier... just did so i'll respect the name and not bother with nothing.

i do select my targets but i just manage to bump into one of these jetters or pricks every set.



what you say makes sense really. i really do agree but i have this short fuse ya see...

idiot, read and follow the entire conversation. and yes... you really are an idiot.



idiot, if you dont know how to calculate the estimated ending nettworth based on the history, dont shame yourself publicly like this. just keep your mouth shout or ask someone else for help privately.

i was allied to ebert. and yes, he is a very good player. but does he go alljetter all the time like what blid and me are talking about?

also, maybe you could check with ebert on who would have finished better last set if i did not go farm that one fella. if you really know him that is, which i doubt because ebert seems like an intelligent fella while you on the other hand...

xin... thanks... i guess... did i mention i suck at maths? lol. but seriously... thanks. :D

xin... when the best time to start using booms as a casher? you crunch numbers like nobody else i know playing this game. help me out pls? :D

damnit! LATC, make #3 more concise! its too long for me to use as my signature! lol

words of wisdom

check out my post in the other thread.

i'm good with that. its how you see things... everyone sees things differently like i've said before previously... we just dont see eye to eye on this... thats fine.

we can agree to disagree! :D

been itching to use that line... hahahaha

blid: i know how this 'strat' works and i can play it as well but, to me, personal opinion, this is really taking advantage of the sportsmanship of others. dont you agree?

blid: again, my personal opinion here. if you have 500m, wouldnt it still be better to buy tech, grab and grow as normal then do the retal later?

the all-x/retal strat. thats actually another problem i've been whining about. lol. but i decided that all explore commies dont really stand a chance of winning a set so i just ignore these coutries totally nowadays.

sorry blid, i checked out that post and i dont get what you're trying to show me there... do help me understand pls.

seriously not trying to be a smart ass or anything... i just really dont get it. so pls if you could kindly help me understand.

blid, how many turns do you have to run before you get the 11m jets needed to retal? wouldnt it be better to use those turns to grab smaller countries a little more and grow then take the retal later when you have more defense?

i could be wrong here. do correct me if i am.

blid, that reset happened like most of my resets. an alljetter and myself crossed paths. like i've said, i'll never stop farming em. even if it cost me my set.

crest, i am a douche in your books like you're an idiot in mine.

crest, i think that pretty soon my history will show that i have TOTAL DISRESPECT(ya can qoute me on this) for the alljetter 'strat' instead of me being a crappy player.

i say this because people who can calculate would look at my country history and be able to estimate the type of nettworth i would've ended with if i had not decided to farm that one fella.

can you estimate the kinda nett i would've ended with last set? can you honestly say that the players you named would've out nett that estimated nett last set?
