October aka MonoSkill set

[zaxZ]

Viali came up with a fun competition- 1vs1 netting. One man nations, no restriction on strat or tax. BUT no feeding, no gb help, no suiciding etc. No interfering from friends at all. So who's up for joining us?

[Divine Intervention]

I was gonna say perhaps the people who participate should stick to same strat so that market dynamics don't play a role in it. Perhaps casher is fairest one?

[viali]

Lets see who joins and we can decide upon rules. I'm on even thou I found outtoday I can't be as active in October like I was this set. So who else is up for the challenge?

[Missionary]

Yeah I'm in. Sounds like it could be fun.

[northbabylon]

this sounds fun

[Xavior]

Anton: thanks for reminding me I owe you guys for last month ;)

Damn xavior you're quick I actually thought I deleted that but you caught it in the 1 min gap lol. It was a light hearted comment but the sentiment stands - don't think people should be doing 5-6 man tags these days.

But feel free to kill me (although I was just a soldier following orders last set ��) - I Def don't have the time to stonewall like I did years ago ��

[Xavior]

The fact that your 2 man nation's NA is equivalent to our 6 man NA is enough evidence that the number of people in a nation doesn't really matter.

Regarding GIAA: I make the nation and people do or do not join. I don't plan on the member count. I won't be participating in this, but it does sound fun.

It's only that big because it has to compete with a 6 man tag NA
Otherwise it would be like what happened when I was top1 4 sets ago and couldn't get full support and got broken (although probably jumped too early too tbh)

[jameswheel]

I'd be interested but I'd like to pick my own strat as that's part of the game.

[zaxZ]

No restrictions on strat. You are free to choose.

[Rassputtin]

Well I'm trash and running my own trash nation this set, so it would just be more of the same for me. In other words, sure, I'll embarrass myself a little bit my first full set back. Although I got to warn you. I've already typed "friends interfering" accusation posts for all of you if it doesn't go my way. lol

[blaa]

me too

[Divine Intervention]

ive reached out to Kenshin, Kenneth, Margus, Uku, Z, Cappy and Kanman so hopefully some of those will also join in even if semi actively.

[Visconte]

Is it like a second server or something? Or how do we see who participates and who doesnt?

[viali]

Same server. Whoever announces here and has a one man tag joins the chalenge. Some might interfere between us but even if a one man tag doesnt win the set it counts who gets the best place at the end of the set.
If one player is suspected to have broken any rule then we must decide here if he will count as a chalenger or not.
Suspicions should be proven somehow thou.
How does it sound for you guys?
If you have anything to add or change just post here.

[viali]

I've asked Mr P to restore my state before my last 4 SAs on #8. I hope he can do it asap. I thought a feeding frenzy is about to start for everyone and couldnt resist grabbing him. If he cannot do so I'll probably delete my state.

[jameswheel]

Looks like he did? Can you confirm?

[Rassputtin]

I don't even understand, how you pulling 3k and 2k grabs on hits number 7 and 8?

[jameswheel]

He kept growing at one point he was at 42K land. There is a land disparity formula build into it.

[viali]

My state was restored, as much as it could be. I gained back 40 turns from SAING #8, lost 8.8k land or so. Didnt get back my turns used on building 5.8k~ but did benefit from 23k land by cashing about 50 turns. Also didnt gain back cash used on building land and army loses from all SAs. So should even all out.

[zaxZ]

Respect!

[Missionary]

Haha, defo does not even out. Building costs are minimal. The extra boost to NA cash probably helped alot as well.

[Xavior]

Agreed, the amount gained by cashing at 24k land would have been insane. Should have reset everyone back before the first grabs on 8 were done.

[jameswheel]

It is what it is at this point.

[Rassputtin]

No one is catching the intel I just pulled.... the difference is mind boggling, even with three red turns.

[viali]

It was 8.8k land in 8 hits. But you forget 5k I got from last 2 hits. And cashing 50 turns got me at 114m/ turn cashed 5.7b and 1.4b for NA. Instead of cashing 80m/ turn. So a 1.7b difference. Indeed building costs were minimal, unit loses around 5m INF + NA, but I needed 50 turns to build and instead of cashing those 50 turns I built land that was gone. Not to mention I Bmed alot to reach him instead of waiting units from pm since I had good GB when I jumped.
Also grabs on 73 and 161 that I took between those 8 hits were significantly smaller than it could have been if I didnt grab 8.

[viali]

What do you mean Rass?
Belive me when I say that if I didnt know it was a fair restore of my state I wouldnt have played and just delete my state. Dont want to win a set by feeding a bot, wouldnt be fair for the others. No one asked me to restore, I did asked to Mr P.

[jameswheel]

Looks like someone figured out how to catch him anyways.

[jameswheel]

Lots of action up there.

[Missionary]

Naughty double and triple taps in top1 and 2 lol

I'm not talking trash on you, Viali. I was just observing that at the time I got the intel, your state was billions of dollars ahead of mine, and other than hobbling you down Grendal Khan style, it seems very unlikely you would be caught by anyone netting.

We'll never know the true ramifications of that little bot glitch. That being said, I commend you for stepping up and asking for the restore. I saw your finish last set, I know you don't need a bot glitch to run a beast state!!

[Rassputtin]

Getting triple cheeky up there!

[viali]

After my first 216 turns spent I had 256 cs. My first 3 SAs were made for CS. Within first 350 turns spent I had 7k land and over 90 bpt. I also chose to run casher strat because bots are mostly cashers and that gives a nice boost. I didnt have to build 30% of the land I got before jumping because most of my pre-jump SAs were made on cashers. Thats why the diffrence, not because of that bot in particular.
And yes, the race got more interesting now, should be a fun set. Thats all about in the end.

[blaa]

Losing 16k land with 2 grabs isn't all bad. My nations tech support got much better now.

You have to see positive things about everything!

[jameswheel]

I'm having fun, brings back nostalgia.

And you didn't have to spend any money!!! lol

[Rassputtin]

I'm not, I'm getting my *** kicked!

[jameswheel]

Me too doesn't matter though.

[Rassputtin]

Yeah, I'm just messing around. I'm having fun.

[jameswheel]

I do grow tired of not killing people though, can we switch it up next set and do a anything goes war set.

[northbabylon]

I am down
Single man tags again warring eachother for top spot?

[jameswheel]

Yea but maybe we should set a start point so we can get prepared and have some good fights? Like first 2 weeks then go or something.

[jameswheel]

Congrats to viali on his win.

[blaa]

I'd be very happy if I'd get another glorious top10 finish.

[viali]

Thank you James, congratz on your finish also.

[Divine Intervention]

If we have a war set estos shouldn't be allowed on same teamGF2:":GF;::

[Visconte]

Thats right, we would lose badly so we need some decent chaps also.
