That's how long ago we last had two 70M+ countries.

Unsurprisingly, Nitell won that one too, Skol was the other 70M+ country that time.

Seemed worth noting.

Anyway congrats to Nitell on the win, congrats to Lawrence on the PB, and congrats to all the t10.

it's annoying to hit 70 and lose to nitell. g=) you should throw eggs at him!

My new plan for beating him is to trick him into breaking GDI and stealing all his tech and stock. That should work right?

Thanks! And congrats to you as well Vic on a PB!

Hopefully more big finishes together - there's enough NW to go around!

And now we had 4 70M and a 67M cutoff for the t5, you have to go back to the end of 2021->2022 reset to find a t4 remotely in range of this last set, and even then #5 was a huge falloff. The t10 this round is crazy strong.

Quite fun to have such good competition. Though it looks like we are playing roulette again this round 😂

"Co-Op" style express anyone? ;) (I suppose PvE would be more accurate, as it's a solo server)

Problem is i'd likely still play both and have even less time lol.

Yes please. It is very demoralising when you spend several days trying to set a PvE high score and it only takes someone a minute to trash all your effort.

Even if it was every other reset I would welcome it

COOP Express? GTFO out of here with that nonsense. you guys have gotten really weak and complacent with your top 10 farming bots and not carrying turrets.

I assume that the precious finishes will be much lower this round....

from what i can see only 5 players have been spared and would be smart for those 5 to buy turrets.

I like the way you play. I'm sure some one will try to say you cheated and try to get you deleted.

Some brilliant play by 76, to hit 10 live players, Ha Ha Ha.

fair play this server is PvP so i declared war on everyone for not having turrets:



i get that that my post is labeled allaince server but this server also has PvP and it is within the home page game description.

I am literally taking everyones ability to reach $70 million NW so that all of you can be at $35 mill NW thus giving me and the bots a chance at making top 10!

Provided that I dont die of course cuz its 15 humans vs 1 SuperFly.

Newsflash, this isn't PvE, it is actually PvPvE

In gaming, PvE stands for Player versus Environment. It refers to gameplay where players interact with and overcome challenges presented by the game itself, such as computer-controlled enemies (NPCs), obstacles, and environments, rather than competing against other human players.

whats the obstacle here in express running out of turns to use 100k jets to SS the bots?

land grabbing bots is not even difficult look at COOP i have been farming the lowest NW bots with 40k jets and getting a few thousand acreas per day. no skill required to hit a bot. dont even need to waste turns spying on them its why u only get 5 spy ops a day cuz only a noob needs to spy a bot to ensure that he can break a 40k SS.

The main obstacle for a lot of players is being able formulate basic thoughts.

I bet half of them are still belligerently tapping their copy of the communist manifesto proclaiming at its revolutionary political ideology.

"land grabbing bots is not even difficult" lol. Do you think what #76 did *was*?

That’s exactly why they do it. They play intentionally to ruin the game. It’s pretty obvious when they hit every single netter and avoid every single war country.

They don’t play to war, they play to drive away the player base and it’s been very successful.

I agree. The whole "it's a war-game" position is a braindead argument. "I like to read the dictionary" people should know what war is, its purpose(s), and why farming a bunch of netters doesn't fit the bill.

Perhaps they are campaigning against the tyranny of evil netters making them look crap every reset? lol.

I think the truth is they aren't even that sophisticated. They are still "stamping on a sandcastle" entirely unaware as to their own motivations for doing so, still fumbling around trying to make the bad tummy feeling stop.

I recognise that, and some choose to play PvE (hit only bots/all-explore) and others choose to play for PvP.

The trouble is when it's a shared environment where PvPers attack PvEers without restraint this is griefing

Wow, you know you've made it when your play is being admired by both AMJ and Ratski.
SF, you must be so proud!

Only thing I am proud of when it comes to game play is that I am the all time record holder for netgaining records and war records in this game.

No one can accuse me of being a crappy netter, a crappy war monger or a crappy suicider as I am a well rounded and adaptable player. Very different from the players who are only good at farming bots and crying about life when Ratski and his neighbour land grab them with their 500k jet rainbows…..

Man, I missed this set's action due to being otherwise engaged. I'd have definitely KRd you.

The all time record holder for net gaining records? Before I ask what ganja you're smoking, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and ask by what metrics you have determined this?

You have stepped your game up SF. You are still a major jerk for fighting peaceful countries who don’t want to fight you. Not very nice and it’s not good for the long term survival of the game and player retention.

Express needs a Gdi system so you can only LG netters once if they don’t retal. You shouldn’t be allowed to toast zolags country he spent days working on just to be cruel.

I don’t want to play on a bot server. I enjoy the wars and I enjoy admiring war countries and seeing who wins. It’s s part of the game that I like I just don’t think you guys should grief players. There’s zero reason netters shouldn’t be able to net and you guys can’t war on the same server.

But that's exactly what they want to do. They don't want to actually war, they want to only attack netters (or as SF described it) players with little defense.

I can; you are.

...and I'm not even /that/ good.

Data on SuperFly grabbing versus other players in coop. Apparently grabbing is so easy in coop that he's demonstrably terrible compared to the rest of the server. This grabbing ineptitude has helped him consistently finish in the bottom quartile of human players on final networth. SF saying he is a top netter is like saying that Cal Ripken was one of the best batters of all time just because Ripken is in the top 5 of number of at bats and therefore has one of the highest hit totals ever: but his batting average isn't even in the top 500 all time. Basically, SuperFly in EE gets the equivalent of the perfect attendance award in grade school. He also sucks at being a bully - from the looks of this grabbing spree and his country status you would be forgiven for thinking that he doesn't know anything about the game.

I'm no brain surgeon, but that doesn't seem very good.

- Z- & King Me if you want to evaluate actual netgaining skills go play Primary aka Classic. it is truly the only real measuring server for netgain.

No stupid bots, GDI to prevent suiciding unless you break GDI on another players.

I am better than both of you there and that is were guys truly measure their netgaing wieners....

on coop, i quit LGing at just over 100k like this set and I cash out to stock food. I am only playing that snooze fest to add to the NW total on your profile

on the records claim you can click on profile. I dont see either of you on any all time top 10 records.....

This is exactly my Cal Ripken point. Said another way, and going way back, Arrow (sorry to pick on them) was not a netgaining juggernaut because they had the highest TNW simply because they had the most members. They were pretty bad at netgaining. Same thing here with you. Adding up a bunch of mediocre sets to the highest aggregate total simply because you've played the most sets does not mean that you're good at netting. Additionally, your country status was so sad for what you did this set - again, as if you somehow know very little about the game and warring after so many years of playing. But I'm guessing you'll hide behind something like saying you stopped grabbing after X acres, were cashing out, blah blah blah.

I was a 7000a Theo techer with 100k spies, 3 million jets and 0 weapons or sdi and $200 million cash.

A very ill prepared little country who was able to grab up to 86,000 acres, stole 23k buildings and $2.7b cash and lots of tech that I resold

Looks like my “sad” country literally did what is in the home page game description “ Execute attack strategies to relieve opponents of their resources and land” ….

On the stolen buildings I am making lots of spies per turn. Lots of food and every turn is cash positive and making oil. Looks like my country is further ahead than when I was a 7000a techer.

Just need stay alive if the 15 if you decided to collude and run a joint kill run in a chat room which is a deletable offense per the rules of the server…

That's the server you choose? Where you're #63 on top 3 finishes? LOL.

And on coop Slag and I both had over $700M with 100k acres as support countries that did hundreds of ops and lost tens and tens of millions of jets over the course of the set. Your best is barely half that without all those lost turns and lost military. It's a lot easier and a far better use of your time to pad your total networth stats when you can at least land grab like an average person, not a full standard deviation below average. Seems like a good example of the well-documented phenomenon of even well below average people thinking that they are above average lol

This post explains a lot about your confidence in yourself lol. Based on the op I got at around 70k acres, if you think your total income at that turn count or land amount is anything other than abysmal then it explains so much. You know what type of country would make more income? Answer: a 7k techer.

Superfly, your own excellence at the game is exactly the problem. We all know that a player of your high caliber doesn't think that a rainbow is a good strategy, but here you are defending rainbows in an attempt to pretend that you weren't griefing. Come on, we all know better.

No worries following rules isn’t hard.

So what are we going to define as griefing? 1 LG on humans (which is what was being done to me by multiple guys since I switched to all-x and playing for the sake of not missing a round)

5 hits on humans?

Is it not griefing if we only hit Cathankins and Ratski?

Give me a guideline to follow cuz in allaince it’s anything goes and we have the basically the same 20 guys here from over there

Translation: tell me the loopholes that I can slide through and continue to be a pest without getting in trouble, for now.

Go play primary. No bots. Real test of skill cuz you actually have to have defence to grow and you are forced to grab players and try to defend the retal.

Until then bragging about farming no defense bots that can’t retal is a cool as me having the cumulative networth record cuz I have played for 15 years without missing a round

I have done no bragging. There are lots and lots of folks better than I am. You’re just not anywhere close to that list!

And good for you being Cal Ripken. Maybe just don’t be old and slow and a shadow of your former self.

Man are you clueless or something? Currently there are no rules that I am violating. Go look at the last discussion on sanctions from years ago or the current discussion in allaince.

Right now this is all based on hurt feelings not on guidelines or rules.

If you are driving 100 mph in a 80mph street you are pulled over for speeding right cuz you broke a defined rule or limit.

If there was no limit and you are driving 75m/hr and a cop figured that he will ticket you cuz on Monday he feels like 75 is fast but Tuesday he thinks that 110mph is ok would you not ask for a defined rule instead of being penalized on personal feelings or thoughts?

Z you just sound like your average arm chair quarter back. Sideline expert who doesn’t even consider the idea of netting in primary cuz there are no bots and having to compete against players who retal for land is too hard :(

Have a good day man.

If Slagpit went back to the original express where there was no bots it would be interesting to see who would make up the top 10 and who would walk away and not even play…

Look at active players per server right now

Coop - 41 some of the low nw guys look to have quit mid round likely from bot boredom but to each each their own.

Express - 22


Primary / classic - 49

Wierd how the server with no bots has more players despite it being very cut throat where the bottom 20 get turned into farm land

The world and EE according to SF:

*if it’s not illegal or not against the rules, there is no way you’re being a butthole
*the best way to pad your total networth stats is to create a country that produces less on 70k acres than 7k acres
*to each their own, except when your definition of fun isn’t the same as his, in which case he will feel morally justified imposing it on you
*game fundamentals on one server are not at all applicable to another server, just like players always crashed and burned when switching between the American League and National League in baseball
*63rd place proves your net gaining prowess
*failing 10% of your grabs on that same server and being ranked 207th isn’t as bad as it seems; it really means that you’re such a good player in spite of yourself if you’re 63rd on top 3!
*absolutely sucking at fundamentals for every. single. set. on the easy server is a red herring. we should all be grateful he’s just playing down to our level of skill.

I have learned a great many things today!

So does what you wrote apply to you?

Your definition of fun is farming bots and you must impose that will on me right? Cuz we all live in your world. A guys world who has only played 5 rounds of coop and 2 dozen rounds of express. He’s an expert! Has never likely once interacted with a human player except for the 5 times that he likely was land grabbed and then threw a tantrum like right now despite not playing this set as he claims.

Again if it was Cathankins getting hit no one would care they would cheer it on. But becuase it’s you or one of your pals than it’s a problem.

I am done arguing with a dude who is an arm chair fan and has no back bone to play a server like tourney or primary without bots

I expect better from someone that has decided to call themself "SuperFly" — your posts read like they were written by Sherwood Schwartz!

This isn't the 90's, your internet tough guy persona is chalked.

The lack of sophistication in your rhetoric doesn't pass muster on a board full of old flags that were likely trolling /b/ decades ago, and that have long since realised the futility and foolishness of their youth.

We'll be waiting, should you care to join us :)



Probably too much to dare to hope that I might finish with a higher NW than your country given your superior strategy and netgaining skills!

Wouldn't it be wild though, if after being CRIPPLED by your country, I was able to scrape together more than $35m, even to finish t10 now is surely going to be UNACHIEVABLE in the wake of such destruction.

One can only dream.

Ugo, arent you the Mike Tyson persona? I have faith in your abilities bro

Sorry I don’t feel like teaching terrorists how to be better terrorists.

Better luck never, SuperFly bin Laden.

To be fair, SF isn't breaking any rules, he's using game mechanics to take land from people instead of NPC, in all fairness if the developer feels this isn't what the game should be, then he should change the rules and mechanics of the game.
