Old Players

[Devil]

who is this?
why do people change their names, it makes it confusing for senile old people to find them on msn....

and honestly most the good netters got bored and moved on. as mr p says there is no nation pride anymore.

the bgers came back and together we built a tag that dominated that set (and crushed nation records) but all people did were whine about our tactics when half of the game doesn't even know what is going into those top states....

the hypocrisy chases people away

dont forget you have to run indy too

dont forget you have to run indy too

well yeah that is a given

but we are working very hard to fix that
in fact mr p sent me a random string of curse words just the other day that i took to either mean he is working on strats or i stole bb's tequila and told her it was him..

i know indys are more powerful and i know mr p is trying to work on it but its such a delicate balance to make the strats even that its almost impossible to get it perfect. indy production being lowered by .5% is prolly close but that then might lead to casher dominance.

USA has done fairly well thus far for a casher nation but the indys at the top are just too strong to be beaten currently.

Only way anyone is beating Sky is gonna be to war them and i dont really see that happening.

.5% wont affect them much at all. 5% would be more of a start. That and how fast an indy nation can build a NA compared to a non indy nation.

and calvin stealing BB's tequila is a dangerous game to play

indy being doubled taxed will always lead to indy nations taking top spots.

look at Sky - they have a few states who build their NA at start by expanding/selling, and when their top states have gathered turns and GB, they make a jump with full tech and NA. And mostly it`s just 1 state jumping, farming down the others, and after a few days, another one or two Sky states start building up.

Their strat works, and even lowering Indy by 5% won`t do much

[jkl9926]

yea its been the same for years, but in the past it has seemed like there was more contention atleast from another indy nation that would make it interesting.

right now it seems like Sky is just allowed to do it without anyone trying to keep up with them. Just kinda seems like the community as a whole is letting it happen.

unless you lower the max market price by 10% and then limit that amount that is put into the NA during turn production....

you should have been here a few sets ago when the bgers were playing
people hated what they did the 2nd or 3rd set they were in CR but it was the only way to keep up with Sky.
there are people out there that can play with them but when they put the time and dedication in people whine about it on the forums.....

also look at the total nw records for nations and look at where sky is compared to other nations....
