Had it coming!

As I said in the thread of why NW is failing - feeding is one of them.
You own`t win by feeding. not this set at least. If you can`t play it fair, I won`t let you rob Grim of the victory he deserves.
He went without being attacked since the start and all you did was get cheap infantry from 250, who used his stock to buy BM inf{ dunno if there was someone else, I just know he was for fact) and then sold it at minimum price on the PM cuz there was no inf at all. Ok, if he`d sell at 294, ok, slight feeding would be ok, but not this much!

You had it coming....

ok max.. i knew you or grim would whine if i jump and grab..

first.. i wasn't fed by nhn.. i've been sitting in PM for inf.. when nhn jumped and sold his inf, someone or many got it but not me.. if i was the one who bought it all, i should have been at top earlier and grab you and grim but i didn't, i stayed low and cash my turns..

hours before i jumped, i'm sure you and grim noticed that nhn was already at 500k in networth, mine was 3M net.. when i reached around 8-10M net, his net was still 500k and after i jumped and grab, his net was still the same.. bottom line is, no state with that networth has tons of inf on PM.. im sure you know that..

as for me jumping, i was sitting on PM waiting for inf and only bought 2-4M per batch until i decided that it was time to jump..then i BMed and i also BMed our NA..

i'm not stupid enough to do this stuff when even devil is in the nation..

you sure grim already secured the top spot?

if it wasn't me, blaa(#70) would have done it instead, sooner or later i think..

[Max Logan]

I hear ya...

P.S. 70 would never had done it

[kitoy]

i think #70 is just waiting for the tax to be dropped, coz 30% is a pain in the *** to cash..

as for me, i thought you guys already got my intel and knew that i could out jump you any minute..

I agree with Kenneth that top spot was not held down. The strongest state isn't the one who gets oop early and goes unhit. I don't think this is something you understand Max, as I see you do this all the time. Time and time again it is the stocker that wins the set and it is a proven formula that works, in my opinion.

Also, with my recent experience with LoR, excuse me if I am extremely skeptical Kenneth was fed. I think it's just a case of people not wanting to believe that very few can compete with LoR right now. You're just sick of seeing the same few people at the top each month am I right?

[Max Logan]

Nope. I saw Kris up there for a year

Even though I prefer Grim & co to Kenneth & co (warred both sides many times old stuff moving on, once in retirement everyone's ok), I have to admit Xavior is right here. Although I haven't watched the set (despite making a state at first when muthkilla messaged me on msn) I can guess that LD probably went to top after having loads of average grabs and sitting on low turns whilst Kenneth made much better grabs and sat on much higher turn count and played themat a lower tax level. It's a simple, obvious and best strategy and one which Dolly, James (and prob a few other vets) all utilized. Wont comment on infantry / market feeding etc, but played correctly, even 294 infantry isn't an issue to someone jumping. And Kris is awesome grabber, he probably got top top1 and stayed there by continuing to do very good grabs rather than getting desperate and playing all his turns doing sub standard grabs (which is what usually top1 early breakaways are guilty off).
