So after a few years removed from a game I was never that great at to begin with, I have a question, specifically relating to this week's express:

Should I really be stocking bushels with the average price floating around $50? Or stocking cash (and risking a LG/retal) just under $2b and slowly just spend enough to run my turns so as to avoid corruption?

I don't feel right about buying food from the greedy farmers.

Whether or not to keep the $2B on hand or not is up to you. Risk vs. reward. If you have been grabbing heaps then you should definitely be concerned about getting retalled, and consequently getting your cash stolen. People also like to use Bomb Banks (since it does not break GDI,) on the rich, so gotta watch out for that as well.

I'd use some of that cash on buying defense if you have been grabbing heavily.

People on this server get huge e-penis for big retals late.

Harmful spy ops like Bomb Banks are like hitting more than once and therefore do break GDI. I have tested it with a friend after two harmful ops on my country like Bomb Banks I was able to gs,br,ab,etc.....

lol @ e-penis.

Yes, it is risky to keep it on hand if you are expecting retals. It also sucks to buy it at $50 and destock at $35 and that is where I always have trouble in my game - stocking and destocking. But, at some point, someone will steal a small fortune from you....if not this set, then in another.

As FUXX0R3D sai, it is truly risk vs reward and with which you feel lucky.

Holy fluff, i just saw 40m bushels for $45 and they all went away lol

You're welcome. :D
