well, i had hundreds of millions of food stocked as well. i ment i was on my way to a 135 mill NW finish stocking food, but once i started buying tech that number started going down. once i reached my tech goal, i only had enough food stock to destock to 100mill NW. that is what i ment. the tech i bought that was used in the buyout would be NW ontop of that. maybe that is more clear?

in addition, i had my clan members sell the tech back to me at a low standing order since i had so little tech. so the 2mill tech wasnt a static number.

i tried the 9000s first, but too many blockers. i started selling lower, and buying the tech back at low orders. it is a strat commonly used in FFA to post billion NW countries


buyouts might be easy in some peoples opinions, but like any other strat, there are tips and tricks to it. i should of set up buyout chats where we snagged blocks of my fluff all at once, and i should of stocked my buyout tech in a tech phase early in the set. but like i said, it was a lazily run last minute lots of hiccups idea.

some people just cant handle it, lol. i would bt lying if i didnt enjoy the entertainment.
