assassin would've gotten a higher networth if not for that huge grab on him end set. :|

i was sooo close to breaking 40m :(

ok :D



sigh... no point talking to you or playing then. have fun. i'll come back after a few more months. :D

haha animalpop :D



ok. :D

"check news for #93 IMP suck balls from last set as an example. "

:D

could helmut join in as well please? this way you guys can have your war while this cowardly treehugger (referring to myself) can TRY to nett please? thanks thanks :D

perhaps you are right. i've just never been killed by a single country before. crippled definitely just not killed.

way way way back then when i played alliance, we were quite well known for what people would call 'walling'. basically defending a killrun from tons of opposing clan members which were organized and coordinated trough IRC.

we of course had the advantage of having eyes on the server news almost 24/7 as well as mostly playing from the same internet cafe that was opened 24/7. all the staffs from all the different shifts were playing. during war time, we paid more attention to the news. would leave a window open for the news and refresh it every once in a while. anytime a country is hit, we would call to inform the person, outright shout out at him from across the cafe or just walk up behind and smack his head thats slumped on the keyboard. people still say we were cheating till this day because they don't have this internet cafe culture in their country back then and could not understand it.

but anyways... in a 1v1 scenario, with 2b and full turns as you mentioned...

if i'm hit, there are a few very simple things i can do. check my main menu to see news of the attack. look at how many units he lost as compared to mine. buy up a little of the unit they are attacking me with so the attack bounces. for example, if you had 100k troops, it should be 0 when you log in so just buy 50-60k as the attacker would probably have decreased his attacking units as well. if this 50-60k does not bounce the attack, just buy up to 150k. basically just enough to screw up the attack. just do it a couple times if needed. while this is happening, spy him. if you can break, farm him. if you cant, find a different target and farm that target to regain population.

if i was not online and im not dead from the 360 turns attacker spent, start farming for land to regain population as soon as i log in. build residential sites if needed.

so unless you can kill a country with 360 turns which can be spent in 5 mins... which i still feel is close to impossible... best chance if think is if your opponent sleeps past 12 hour a day. you start attacking and finish up 360 turns just as he logs out to sleep and continue 12 hours later with another 360 turns assuming you have turns stored besides the 360 initially.

“(near impossible to kill a country alone unless opponent is sleeping or you have 360/360 turns and your opponent has none)“ still stands in my opinion.

check news for #93 IMP suck balls from last set as an example.

“(near impossible to kill a country alone unless opponent is sleeping or you have 360/360 turns and your opponent has none)“

err... i think everyone knows its actually rather simple and easy to get 12m or 17m jets (especially as a techer) and the best time to topfeed is when all the top countries are stocking. most players try to keep just enough units to lower expenses and some may even have cash and food stockpiled on hand. (weapons and mil strat tech bonus with a techer! :D)

"so anyway, how difficult was it to get those jets WITHOUT having to balance your country (this is the hardest and most interesting part of the game FOR ME) so it finishes well at the end of the set? :D"

:D

jetsons got you because you weren't in GDI. pretty sure you didn't like it very much when jetsons did that right? especially when he didn't even give you a chance to fight which was what you wanted.
well, the guys you hit with your all jetter didn't like what you did as well. especially when they lose either way, cause even IF they do decide to fight you and 'win' (near impossible to kill a country alone unless opponent is sleeping or you have 360/360 turns and your opponent has none) they've lost the the effort they've put into nettgaining for the set. if they decide to fight you and lose... well.. they lose.. lol

don't start a fight perhaps? easy enough answer no? :)
not sure about the DR on missiles. can't remember. lol
of course i had no money on hand. i saw your failed spy op on me. thats why i mentioned earlier that i was indirectly affect. who cashes on 18m turrets, 2m tanks and 5m troops? lol

of course you were looking for money to keep your country afloat once you started. you had no economy. that ain't balance now is it? you said it yourself, "As for balancing, I just DUMPED my turrets & bought jets, & DISMANTLED my country to keep going."

don't know what ops he did so cant't comment.

there is no netter farming 101. its basically sucker punching 101.

why not NOT try it again?
don't worry about the treehuggers like myself cashing 1100 turns or the lack of excitement in our lives. i'm still trying to get a country nice enough so i can cash 800 turns with full tech and a good landsize. that's enough excitement for me thanks. :)

so to emphasize, i'm saying 'NO THANKS' to your offering of excitement. :D

and seriously, its really almost impossible to kill a country by yourself.

didn't jetsons, the country that gave you your DR step up? he did 'FS' you. doesn't quite seem like you took everyone on here. was more like you throwing sucker punches at people who were clearly trying to nett no?

so anyway, how difficult was it to get those jets without having to balance your country (this is the hardest and most interesting part of the game FOR ME) so it finishes well at the end of the set? :D

also, thanks for skipping my country. the indirect dmg was still felt though... was clicking the cash button on ALOT more units than usual because of the #PSisoverpoweredwithoutallies. :D

grats chutya! :D

i was a techer for quite a bit before deciding to switch to casher... lol. also, tech prices werent that great. :|

grats chutya for the win :D

i got 9th with 24.7m lol

its between you and chutya for the win i think. :D

cashers cant seem to catch break... lol

you still manage to break 30m nett CX. nicely done! :D

not too sure... he ran quite some turns to do those last 3 retals..... :|

ive been on his targeted list for a while now. haha

wouldnt make much difference really as i screwed this set up myself by switching strats too late into the set. heh.





haha... would be real tough for a 15 member clan to survive back then. you'd need to catch attention with a perfectly coordinated killrun that is well warranted so they know not to mess with you.

OMG!! you got deleted twice in a SINGLE set?! to quote... 'Lol stupid is as stupid dose.' with the spelling and all... LOL!!

scary.... :|


hahah! i know right!? lol :D



chill CX, i know it pisses one off when idiots like #96 happen (i blame their mom and dad for terrible upbringing which allowed for this new generation of morons to fester) but you werent having a good set anyway right? we try again next week. thats why i only play express... imagine if this happened in primary after you've spent 2 months on it. haha! :D



HAHAHAA ebert!!! but seriously though, some tweaks should be made i feel in regards to the DR abuse and PS. :|

played since 1998/99 when i was still in college and it was still earth 2025. was one of the founding members of SkyElitez.

last time i played was a quite few years back. can really recall, lol. anyways, i only play in express. tried alliance but was too slow and boring. tried primary but two months is just too much time and effort to be wasted if someone suicides on you which happened to me a couple times if i remember correctly. express is just right cause its fast paced and short. :)

anyways... i think #96 WTF will hit CX's country next. just a prediction... :|

edit: CX boosted up def... hahah

owh well... luck is a factor in this server. especially since there are no allies but the +50% attack strength on PS still stays the same. no way anyone can defend from someone who wants to be an a--hole.

#PSisoverpoweredwithoutallies

oh my... how many jets does he have to be able to PS you 4 times?! :<

oops, my bad. >.<

you'll get better with time. most people do. :D

ask questions when unsure. :D

yup. the bot cashers are the ones jacking up the bis/res tech prices... lol

i though that fat republic had a chance but he just got topfed for 2k land >.<

i wonder how many turrets that republic had or rather, how many jets that topfeeder has. lol

probably so. but i dont see a really fat farmer and i dont see oil in the market. lol...

techers need less than 20k land to win like you demonstrated previous set. haha

i dont know much about the history of the newer players so i cant comment but id agree that its most probably ratski. :D

well... its high enough i feel. best conditions compared to other strats. :|

who sets the conditions for the bots btw? mods shouldn't have that sort of authority right?

a techer is gonna win this set again i think.

i'd guess that they are all players from IMP. lol

i mean no point for a 'random suicide player' to 'randomly' suicide a country which is already been ruined no?

'IF' my guess is right then i'd say it sucks cause this is supposed to be a solo server. :|

btw, i would've asked you to not use these type of country name in the future but hey, because you did, you manage to squeeze out quite a few questionable countries. :D

edit: just checked the news, they very much seem like the same person with two countries. no over lapping attacks, attacking right after one finishes.... :|

actually... these are the types of prices i remember from back then. lol

anyways... i screwed up this set... changed strats because market conditions earlier on but it working against me now... lol

okies... thanks :)

galleri, question.

is there anyway to compensate the innocent country in cases like these since his country was ruined/damaged by someone else who broke the rules of the game ( "IF" it is found that #23 and #109 really broke the rules)?

if no, why is that? a coding/programming thing?

:D

they basically told everyone. ratski admitted to it in one post. uncle james let slip in a different post... definitely smarter than a turkey i'd say. :D

report them macdaddy. i dont know about uncle james but ratski has been deleted before so this is a repeat offence. once reported we can all then see what if THE mod is impartial and fair. :D

Don’t know but I’m not involved so it ain’t for me to report. Just bringing it up so people know who the ones who broke the rules are. :)

Check out the news for #93, #23 and #109. Lol

#23 would be ratski

#109 would be uncle James

Those should be their handles for the forums I think. :)

I’m just an old tree hugging keyboard warrior. :)

I thought all’s fair in love and war? Haha
