YOu know I have almost everything from wow and nation wars, calcs, attack arrays and formulas, conversations, strategies, suggestions previously made, algorithms to suggestions, guides, etc etc etc.
A few things I'd like to point out. Not sure how many of you remember Jameswheel but he was pretty good at netting. First one to my knowledge to go a set without ever being grabbed. At any rate, going through my stuff i came across a msn convo with him in which we were discussing indy strat specifically. Its from June of 2003. Those were the days when I would get suicided on by Calvin And Chris and the like in little one man suicide nations if my state was anywhere near the top 5. Which is another tale. So this particular set I was suicided and I believe James was well on his way to going hitless again, but another nation.... decided to "war" his nation even though he had worked out prior arrangements with said nation to not be hit... anyway. I asked him what ratio's he was running BEFORE the war broke out.

Its a vastly larger conversation but.. as you can see. There was a time when infantry hoarding was not the norm for netting. When players with skill at the game and at negotiating ran balanced states not because [DEAD] would hit them but because everyone and anyone would/could war at any moment. Diplomacy was required then. And you ran a balanced state in constant fear that the diplomacy would break down and you would be prepared....... So please quit with the "lessons" on netting as a response to infantry hoarding like the concept is foreign.
The fact of the matter is hoarders are defenseless, running a lazy strat, and have no fear of retribution for thier arrogance in running a defenseless state. Be that as it may they are entitled to play how they like and run thier state the way they see fit.
Of course so am I, which will consist of me "war" attacking any defenseless states I see. This includes at the end of the set. It has nothing to do with who you are, what nation your in or whether we get along on the forums or not.
I just bought another premium so I'll be seeing if I can get some freinds to join me for atleast the next three months.
