Anyone else have predictions?

either focus gets another t10 or focus gets a war. i'll let you pick.

NBK wont have 5 t10 spots, ill be suprised with 1. especially not if PAN gets to net this set. focus wont have a t10 either i doubt.

NBK will have 1-3 top 10.
TKO will have 3-5
Pan will have 3-5
Focus will have 0-1.

Something like that. NBk will put up a couple.3

However i dont think NBk will beat TKO in ANW.

Bold Predictions. I wouldn't bet for NBK to win either TNW or ANW, but TNW is a decent bet if they get to netgain, just due to their size.

If they win ANW, I'll be very impressed.

PAN/IMP warring this set is bold as well. Obviously we haven't always gotten along in the past, but we've been trying to play nice more recently and we're pacted this set. Pacts have been broken by people in this game in the past, but we want to net, and I don't think IMP really has it out for us right now.

I will say that makes more sense once I got to your "wars" section why you didn't have PAN involved in any of the netting categories. I was a little insulted before I saw that you explained our lack of presence in the netting parts with a war. If we get caught in a war though, I agree that we likely won't have any t10s or a top 3 spot in either ANW/TNW.

I'll make a few predictions:

Top 10 spots:
TKO - 4
PAN - 4
FoCuS - 1
NBK - 1
One of these clans will end up losing one of those spots to a smaller tag (~100 or less) that will jump in and grab 1 t10 spot.

TNW will be very close with four clans vying for the crown, but TKO will win due to netting pedigree (over NBK) and size advantage (over PAN and FoCuS). The other 3 will finish in some order, but I'm not even willing to predict whether NBK, PAN or FoCuS will get 2nd and 3rd.

CC will war two clans at once (hopefully PAN isn't one of them) and I'm gonna guess IMP is likely one of them after the unresolved friendly war last set. I won't predict a winner, because it would depend on who the 2nd clan is (or if IMP is even correct to begin with).

Hoping Pan gets to net=).

Our ave net will probably be lower then average due to the fact im not self farming, and theres more suiciders because im not self farming. we will see=)

Me too, Catsup. Me too.

I'm also trying to figure out if I'm gonna self-farm or not. I've done a slight amount, and actually more grabbing, but grabbing with 16 countries sucks :P

I may end up doing all-explore at least most of the reset. Maybe do some self-farming at the end if I'm having trouble getting as fat as I'd like to be.

You know you'll just end up hitting my farms again..

doubt NBK will have any top tens what with us not sself farming

I beleive in what k4F is doign this set will be good enough.

FA chains can make top 10 all-x if you want.

Im hitting my retallers. But besides that im farming untags and mid-feeding middle tags. makes people suicide=P its weird. oh well im feeding my killers. w000t.

popcom have beleif in your members they can do it!

-farms havoc-

CC will win TNW and ANW. They will break all LaE's netting records and have the entire top 100.

Fact

Well, Im going for a top ten :D One down!

i am to. but i suck so wont get it lol
forgot about FA chains...
i bet aqua will get a top 10

If I decide to do an FA chain I will prolly get a top ten as well. though i don't think i will. gonna go for 100mill anw on my 16 countries instead prolly.

I think these predictions in general are very bad. TKO will likely win TNW if not AVG NW too.

Yeah NBK beating TKO for ANW is a pretty ballsy/retarded prediction.

FA chains are fluffing tarded

buyouts are where it's at. FA chains are inefficient and boring as balls

Why inefficient?

Buyouts are also ineffecient. RUnning 16 balanced countries is the most effective lol.

TKOs main competition will be Pan, GDI and SAS for ANW in my opinion assuming we get to net=)

are you kidding? Come on, you are smarter than that.

You can FA 10% of your fluff once a day and are limited by NW

with oil, you can put 100% of your oil on the market and have your other countries buy it out and transfer mass ammounts of cash. A little more than 10%.

Not to get a top 10 it isn't. And that's what we are talking about

Fair enough. I prefre TNW then top 10s as it helps the clans more.

I thought you were saying the process of FAing (not compared to anything else) was inefficient on it's own.

And Buyouts are limited by how much you have to sell..:p

That's why you plan all set for it. Really dude, I played in NA and LaE for all these years. I've participated I'm my fair share ofbuyouts lol

we have held buyout chats, like a warchat. Once for LaE I'm pretty sure 3 of out members had 1.5 bill oil on so once they pulled their blocking batch down we bought that fluff out and bug and ozzite put up some massive countries.

The llaar country that we put to 850mill nw in 7 days (sof killed his orig so we took it a little far) was insane. Daily buyout chats.

Actually, I had bug and ozzite blocked, the rest of lae had nothing compared to us 3, but we worked together to get it all sold

Meh I'm not that big on things that require multiple people sacrificing countries for one person..

CC will finish #1 TNW

I'm gonna disagree on a few things smurfers .. Pan will place in a few netting categories, and I don't think we'll be warring. NBK, as much as I respect their ability to play, won't place 5 t10.

My prediction: Havoc will singlehandedly fill the top 10 while the rest of Panlv fights off twain from farming him

i doubt IMP will dec on Panlv

I think TKO or PAN will take a doublecrown.

depends on size a bit and if PANs netting skills remained at the same level as before their 3 (or 4 even?) sets of war.

One of us at GDI will place in the top 100 proving that any Idiot can have a Top 100 finish.

That's true.

What about salt? Ive never netted im shooting for top 500, but hoping for at least top 100.

But there are netters in salt who i think can pull it off

N will FS GDI. And GDI will DIE! With a battle cry FOR CRYSTAL CARNAGE!!!

j/k Dragon ;-)

TKOs going to finish first in kilsl cause suicders keep hitting us! lol

NBK will end up warring.

FA Chains aren't really that inefficient.

Sure, you can only send 10% at a time, but ultimately when doing a buyout, you end up buying a lot of expensive tech/food/oil/whatever that benefits OTHER people. If I want to buy out, for instance, spy tech at $9000, then I have to buy all the spy tech priced lower. Some of that is reasonably priced and I'll be able to profit from later (in fact, it sets up nicely for 2nd and 3rd buyouts, in a way), but at the same time, if someone's got a block of tech out there at $7000, then I'm wasting resources just to get to my own tech.

FA chains are much slower and take days and even weeks to transfer, which is annoying, but if you're actually talking efficiency, buyouts are actually worse.

Having said that, if you're gonna try to get t10 spots, you're probably gonna have better luck with a buyout if you can get enough cash/players with cash available in order to get it done. It may be more wasteful, but it also gets the job done on a much larger scale.

I predict CC will FS IMP and Focus. Will be a super bloody battle, with CC at 100 member disadvantage, but having the FS.

ANW:
SAS
GDI
Harshal
PAN
TKO

TNW:
TKO
NBK
PAN
Focus
IMP

Interesting TNW prediction Smurfy. You've got to be predicting a CC loss in the war if FoCuS and IMP are predicted to finish 4th and 5th in TNW.

<-------will be at the bottom :P The bottom is the win this year!

<--- would not help imp

<---would not help focus

hey we agreed to something!

i predict someone will moan about self farming

I think CC is damn good at warring, but the 100 member disadvantage will be too much. And I'm not saying IMP or Focus help each other, they are just on the other end. Plus looking at the country make up of the three of them, they seem most up for war this set. Unless the three of them want to hit netters.

I am considering t, i, and m as war countries. Percentage of war countries per tag.

CC - 93%
NBK - 20%
TKO - 36%
Focus - 67%
IMP - 53% (they also have a ton of fasc)
Pan - 34%
Ares - 42%
SALT - 27%
POD - 54%

Doesn't totally prove anything, but interesting. Plus mon. can just be start up for netting or war. Plus you have 3 smaller clans, who may mix it up, or end up in some sort of three way with two bigger clans.

3-ways are always fun.

/flex

I would rather order everyone in IMP to self delete than to war chat with FoCuS.

yea i'd rather see IMP self delete than warchat with us

lol
