Looks like it. He probably didn't care to bother playing his country anymore. Might be awhile before he plays another round.

Probably saw how crappy the AB's were and said F it. ABing is so useless now.

This is the kind of move people come back and screw the guy's next set over (and maybe the set after that too).. I wouldn't be surprised if you just made a multi-set enemy with this.

Ok, I'm really curious who the owner of Narcissistic (#175) is now...

by the growth and late t10 emergence it REALLY looks like bakku, but i don't see him going ape over a single topfeed when teh retal recovered the losses... (I'm guessing magellaan didn't figure on this either)... by the reaction my guess was rockman.

so, rockman?

You think rockman can play such a beast of a country? I highly doubt it. Plus Rockman has fought with these changes already, I doubt it would surprise him still. So, bakku?

also, i probably wouldn't jeopardize what i am told was a possible #1 finish to get revenge on someone. if i had no shot at #1 then that's a different story :P

I don't think he had a #1 possibility BEFORE the topfeed, it was just a casher's reset. I would say definitely not after.

Blid, he definitely had a #1 possibility. At least, a lot higher than most other countries, particularly in the wake of topfeedings and tech stealing.

It's not herbs, herbs definitely was unavailable to play this set.

Well I pegged him for third. Would've been a great set. But I don't see him beating the top two cashers. I think he would've been 10m behind. He would need something bad to happen with those guys.

Herbs would make sense. I know he was busy and unavailable, but he did find time to finish last set. It would also make sense that he doesn't have time to go through the boards or to war properly.

I suspect that a few of the root causes for the spy op issue are that countries were never meant to get so big and the spy op success formula has stayed the same for so long that a few players have been able to reverse engineer how it works.

Day1: 10/10=100% Successful bomb banks at ~50 SPAL.

Day2: 19/20=95% Successful bomb banks at ~60 SPAL.

Day3: 10/12=83.33% Successful bomb banks at ~65 SPAL.

Conclusion: It is impossible to stop, don't try.

All from a guy I have never done anything to (and claims it is his first set!)..

Did you hide your cash?

Dang man oil is ridiculous. Everyday I'm logging in and before I can buy enough to make attacks it's up to $999.

Kind of defeats the purpose of going corruption bonus, but that purpose was really defeated when food prices didn't spike like the last few sets. I didn't take into account for fluffty players bombing my banks when I decided to give the corruption bonus a try.

Seriously though.. If these new changes go live next reset without any of the changes that us solo players have been asking for.. I may break from playing this game until management gets their head of of their asses and realizes there is much more to this game than the fluffty Alliance server.. It gets old playing versions of games where the developers have no real interest in, don't pay attention to, and end up screwing up because of this lack of care.

Corruption bonus means you better make sure you went dictator. The recent history of Primary is spy thieves.

Did they change the AB formula? Or are these guys RoRing without tanks?

Ha! good thing they fixed it, we may have seen excessive loss.

This is an IMMEDIATE CHANGE FOR ALL SERVERS:

1) Special Attacks will be capped to 5x their previous levels (thier unmodified losses), to prevent excessive losses; this should help the CS problem; it may stretch KR's in special circumstances, but not normal circumstances.

I would say so as well. I gave up on my country early and started cashing at 55k acres. I'm out of t10 this round.

we have fairly comparable countries I'd say. Could be one of us gets fifth, but I'd think it's likely a non C/I.

Ooh that would make sense, similar names, good pickup on that. If that's the case, that guy is pretty awful. I'll post his message to me when I login tmrw.. but he shouldn't really be calling anyone a mediocre player if he's going to double tap someone in a reset w/o buying any tanks..

Also mediocre player vs mediocre netter are two different things, war is what I'm better at =D

Well he handed you the war win on a platter, maybe he didn't realize it was the second time he hit you, or maybe he just didn't care because he objected to your very "late" retal and decided he wanted the land back or to give up - kind of like Narcissist.
