still waiting

Very logical point. I guess I still get to look forward to my first artifact war but they are hard on me since I sleep though the good digging times.

Dark, that might very well be true... you are right... i have been on the richest list prior and nothing happenned however, i would stay towards the bottom... don`t get me wrong... i could care less about losing the money, most of the time... just kinda irks me when someone does it out of no where for no reason! I`ve been hit by arties from experienced and non-experienced players but they`ve all had their resons... and needless to say they`ve been spanked by my fed and The Arti Coalition (You older players will recognize this infamous group of individuals that made life hell for some players). Anyway, whatever the case may be arti`s are a part of the game and thus buying out the market and storing your cash in minerals is also a way to play the game to avoid losing billions that i have endlessly clicked on turns to get... doesn`t seem fair people keep complaining about others buying out the market when someone can easily fuse (especially if you`re in a time zone which favors digging times), 24 major dineros and drop me half my cash... hmm ??? o.O

Parasie even when I do post minerals people shout at me to post more.

CaNnAbIsViLLe - I have quite a bit of money and was numbre 1 on the richest empire list until my life got a little hectec and I had to take a short break. After 5 days I finally got dropped to second place. And then anouthre 5 went by and I was dropped to 10th or so. In all this time I have never been hit with any sort of artifact. I am not afraid to be hit by any either acctually!!

EVERYONE HIT ME WITH ANY ARTIFACT YOU CAN THINK OF SENDING AT ME!!!!
mwahahaha waste your precious artifacts on me and the turns you took to get them and then guess what ohh wait... Nothing really happens to me with how the fighting feild is currently there is no way I am going to use almost 500 BILLION credits...

huhu, I`m miner and buying minera, Tax miner yeah, not mining I hate that, people always shout after you to post mineral...so I decided to go Tax miner :) and dont post mineral for any1 lol

LMAO... i don`t even play that much anymore and i still get MAD minerals... i never have to stalk the market, lol... maybe cuz i am able to buy in big lots so once i get one nice lump sum i`ll check the market sporadically but if there are no minerals me`h, who cares, i got enough last time, lol...

If you really want to blame someone blame the ignorant people that arti spam people on the rich list for no good reason... for a while i stopped buying minerals due to people complaining that there was a mineral shortage... within a week i was in the middle of the rich list on all servers and then you know what happenned... some 1diot whom shall remain nameless, hit me with a major dinero spam... someone whom i had no contact with, someone whom i hadn`t even spoken to... when i broached the subject their excuse was they were restarting and didn`t want all their majors to go to waste... WTF o.O... the simple fact remains that the rich list makes you a target... me personally, i will buy everything that is on the market when it`s there and will NEVER keep more than 50 billion in my cash reserve... losing 25 billion is sure of a hellavu lot better than loosing 350 billion

ok i restarted as collective today.

im managing to make do with what i make myself to suport my fleets. its VERY hard and annoying as hell but i can battle somewat under 100k pr, just enough to get the colonies i need with the mineral type i need, not land MINERAL type. something is wrong i know, as terran i never bothered but now i can see the problem.

there is more miners now than there was 2 weeks ago and more with over 100 planets too so soon there should be much more minerals on the market

and BTW: when i restarted as terran i did a 300 mill mineral dump for free and around 90 billion (yes 88,89. *90*) food on the market for 1 per so food will proberly spike soon and minerals are now bak in circulation i hope

stop complaining mr game guide :P ur not supposed to

i restarted 6 days ago and still cant fight at high pr cos i cant find resources...

my paid runs out in 2 days time..... shall i spend more money not finding minerals?

Geez, if Darkrune`s post is proof enough that there`s something fundamentally wrong with the game, I don`t know what is...

Come Stephen, wake up!

Within 10 mins all the terran metal was bought up....

i`ve never managed to be awake to even try to take out kalzul achilles.. by the time i am, he`s gone :)

Kalzul has no time for your stinkin minerals. Stephen says we must kill him but than Pandy said leave it alone. O i`m so confused. *awaits the next Kalzul bug*

Lol Big players are taking up a ton of them but I will post 100 mil terran metal for you 50 cent and will post here who buys it.

where is the update too .....

the new players are getting their hands on quite a bit of minerals now, and not so many big players are buying all the stuff i sell

They prob have to clear it with you know who who has been abducted by aliens :p

I`m not even going to repeat the suggestion that would solve the min shortage, v fast.
