Oh ingle... how could you

I think Reroll is a really good player. Rockman stole 2m tech from him this round, I don't get why, but I'm still surprised Reroll finished higher last round when he didn't have GDI.

@Blid:

Reroll PSed away Rockman's win 3 resets ago (should be the December reset) with maybe 10+ days or so to go at end of set. Rockman was a Dict casher with 30m turrets and 142% weapons then.

Which one was Rockman? Leon?

^ Yes.
I know, I was there. Did he really do this because of that? It was just one PS, and it was one made for strategic reasons, not to be a jerk or anything, and it was rounds ago.

You don't PS someone with 30mill turrets for strategic reasons.

Do you think Reroll had a problem with Rockman or something? No, I don't think he even knew him. But Reroll had just been landtraded for a 1800 acre loss by one guy and retaled for 6000 acres by another guy. There were still 10 days left in the round, Rockman had the most land, and Reroll was looking to recover some and attacked once. That's another set of his that Rockman ruined, by hitting back 5 times. You can say it was an unwise attack or disrespectful to a stocking netter or something, but you can't say he had any ill intentions, and Rockman still could've continued on or retaled once and finished well. It takes a lot of bitterness to carry a grudge over an innocent interaction over to a new round 7 months later.

Congrats my beloved old mate oldman & blid on 1st & 2nd ~ !

Strategic reasons? Losing over 3m jets in a PS with 10 days left when the build costs and tech needs make the grab pointless even if your target doesn't retal? Given my history of warring constantly in primary, expecting me not to retal is quite unlikely.

Or having a 90%+ success rate stealing 13k to 16k points per spy op from a guy who you know isn't going to retaliate? He had 850k spies on 67k acres with no indies and no spy tech and over 4 million tech points, all in categories that I needed (especially since I had under 160% bus/res tech when I started).



10 days left is too late in the round to be grabbing if you're 40k+ acres and are netgaining. The build costs make it not worth it, and that's not even factoring in the risk of being retalled.


Funny how it takes a lot of bitterness to hold a grudge for 7 months, but apparently no bitterness at all to suicide on someone without provocation. I guess I should be like Vivanick and others and just suicide on people out of boredom.



Nicely said.

^
So based on your assumptions I PSed you to screw your set then let you farm me for several times without me doing anything? Don't you think I would have ABed you instead since I have the intention of screwing up your set? Sadly, you gave up net gaining that set and choose to whine in the forum and please stop bringing this up over again and again. Its 7 months ago for goodness sake.

On a separate note, yes I'm on 800k spies and yes you successfully stole about 300k tech points everyday from me but you lost 200k-400k (throughout the 7-9 days you lost at least a total 1.5m-2m spies) spies each day. So being at 40k Dictator casher why would you kept producing spies and steal tech from me if you know you would have done better by building all Ent and Res instead? Tech in the market is cheap during that time. A strategic reason of yours? Can I assume you are being a jerk that wanna screw up my set? No instead I find alternative ways and continue with my game.

P/S: I did my last grab just to build IC and I ended up with 1.5m spies and 140% spy tech.

I made 2 posts on primary talk in the 3 weeks after you topfed me, both posts were just 1 sentence long. I wasn't the one who brought this up here, either. I did give up netgaining that set, but I did a very small amount of whining about it.

I would have done better by turning all my industrial complexes into enterprise zones and residences? You got the math to back that up? Because I have the math to prove you wrong.


It would have cost me about 675 million to switch my industrial complexes to enterprise zones and residences. I was getting about 300k tech points a day, worth about $450m, assuming $1500 per tech point. My tax revenue was about 18m a turn cashing (15m non-cashing) when I started stealing tech. Not factoring in the approximately 675 million I would have to spend to switch buildings, I would have needed to get about 8.3m cash per turn more from switching 11% of my land from industrial complexes to ent/res (450m/54 turns a day = 8.3m per turn)

There were about 750 turns left when I started stealing tech, so that's about 900k a turn in build costs if you prorate the 675m over each turn remaining in the set. Add the 900k to the 8.3m, and you get 9.2m

Thus, I would need switching 11% of my land from industrial complexes to ent/res to give me over a 50% boost in tax revenue (9.2m is over 50% of 18m).

I'm too lazy to do the calculations on how much of a boost switching 11% of my land around would give, but I can assure you that it is not anywhere near the 50% boost in tax revenue that would be needed for me to have done better by doing that instead.

My estimate off the top of my head is that switching from 88% ent/res to 99% ent/res would give about a 10% boost to income, rather than a 50% boost. Feel free to do the math and prove me wrong, but unlike you, I am extremely good at making proper estimations. You, on the other hand, appear to be impossibly incompetent at making estimations to figure out what is or isn't worth doing.



Just face the facts, you tried to stockpile with an extremely low defense, and you got caught by someone who was acting in the self interest of their own country. On the other hand, when you grabbed me 7 months ago, you hit someone who was keeping a reasonably high defense, and you were not acting in the self interest of your own country.

Read and post

^@Rockman

Give yourself a break. I wouldn't want to go down that road again. If you think I screw up your set even I said no then be it. It has been 7 months and I don't care. Like I mentioned earlier, I do not draw any conclusion for what you have done last set. I took it easy even I have a shot to win.

I'm sorry but I couldn't stop giggling when you self-claimed to be more superior than me, not once but twice. Can you please stop doing that because it does make you look bad.

Try reading better. I have claimed to have better mathematical abilities than you, which is quite clear from the b.s. you give about strategy. But in regards to being a better player than you, I have not claimed that.

If you giggle because I claimed to be better at mathematics than you, and think that it makes me look bad to make such a claim, then I don't know what drugs you're on, but they've gotta be pretty hardcore.

Then again, you were delusional enough to think that I was the one who brought up what happened 7 months ago, and to think that I whined excessively after it happened.

Again, I'm criticizing you, but I'm criticizing your grasp on reality, not your ability as an EE player. Truth just doesn't seem to be your strong point. Playing a good Rep casher is your strong point. But honesty is something which you really need to work on.

^@Rockman

Quote "....Sadly, I became your enemy merely for being a better player than you. That's some pretty pathetic anger management you have there. By your convoluted logic, it would have been perfectly acceptable to AB me if I wasn't in GDI, even if I had never attacked you or your allies. Merely by being superior to you, I became your enemy, and hurting yourself just to hurt me was justified." - Rockman

which part in the context above do you understand about you being more superior than me in terms of mathematical abilities as you claimed? You self-claimed to be a better player twice in your single reply, well unless you are telling me it isn't English. You are right, Honesty is something you really need to work on pal.

any records tumbling this set?

No way

yeah it was a brutal round, lots of violence!

ttt, preparing for the end of set update =P

Suggestion: Below the "Winner's List", have a ranking that says

Player, Number of 100m / 125m / 150m club entries

And sort it like the olympics gold/silver/bronze list. If it's easier, maybe just have a "number of 100m or better entries" list.

Done, but the formatting ain't as nice as I thought it will be.

i was just looking at that (i guess as you updated) and i thought it looked pretty good (at least considering the limited tools in a phpbb)

i was eyebleach btw, the only unclaimed in the 100m club.

fixed it =)

Wow that formatting looks terrible! :P

I think

1 Afaik 1/1/5/7
2 bakku 1/0/3/4
3 blid 0/2/3/5

Would look better. Also tied entries should have the same rank number!

Wish granted.

ok some more ?? answered on the winners list..

round 1 was slagpit... beat my rep by the narrowest of margins (given that he'd just finished coding the damn game, i was quite proud of that at the time lol)

round 4.. i ran son of the morning

formatting looks much better.

Now I wish I played since round 1. I was wasting time on alliance server instead.

cool, now the winner's list is complete. I filled in the last one (BlackMamba) by logical deduction. and damn, afaik has 4 wins out of 16!

He is da man

Could win again this set.

It's possible I guess, or someone else will collect their own fourth win.

I think that's far more likely, I'm fighting for 3rd this time...

Oldman you sneaky devil... Which one are you? Hehe

I'll be the one who sneaks up on you since I'm a sneaky devil =)

nice, sticky thread :)

Forgot to add myself into the 125m part for the last round.

herbs with the biggest increase in rank 2 sets in a row. Nice job! Thanks for updating everything oldman

herbs you off this round?

Yes Blid, but I still like to come on here and read what's happening. I will hopefully be back next round with a vengeance.

WHO was farmer?

Oldman and Grimstad both were farmers and finished 1st and 2nd.

Jedioda - looks like you need to start farming again :)
