Is this a xing joke? lol

Please make a calender so that we know when this happens, and can avoid playing during these times... Or I will quit this game permanently. I was joking about someone would make this buildrate thing happen yesterday. And now the profecy somehow came to live :S

I had oatmeal with some banana cut up on top... was delicious.

Yeah ! I hate it too! :p

Just to clarify,I didn`t waste turns/money to take you down as you see :p I was going for it from the beginning of the event.
R Raistilin
nice breakfast dude.
I Islander
Rofl big fleet? You mean I watched Kaneda/DM/Lord waste money/turns to take down a base spam wherein I wasn`t even hostile towards them? Yeah Oh lord I hate this event :p

Im just saying it doesn`t affect RT as much. I`d have based over everyone and smacked them down regardless of the event.

As HB said this RT is our server.

As for breakfast, I had some peach oatmeal and a 4 stack of waffles and a 2 stack of pancakes and some Irish Breakfast Tea.

Got homemade chicken rice soup for dinner :D
R Raistilin
homemade biscuits, a rasher of bacon, and some hashbrowns. How was your guys breakfast?

nice valja, fully agree what you said:)

All I have to say to this is ROFL

perhaps what PistolPete`s not happy might be true in a certain aspect... but events are not going to be longer than it should... 24-48 hours should be just nice...

true that events can distrupt one`s plans or strategies but take it something as a challenge that suddenly will pop up out of nowhere... consider events as unpredicted pop-up targets or obstacles that even the best of SWAT`s operators need to tackle during training or simulation... it will make things more interesting IF we can see the bigger picture...

closer to RL... there are events that are nice and some aren`t... a promotion... a loss... a disaster... or anything that will come up when we`re least expecting... nothing is rosy all the time but we should better be prepared for everything...

remember what happened in Haiti? no one can expect it coming b4 it happened... but what we can do in the aftermath of any event is how to counter and to survive and rise again and to prepare for the next one...

i still hope everyone will see it in a different perspective... something bad isn`t always bad and something good isn`t always good... chill out and relax.... while we still can... :)

hehe.. Islander. This is a terrible event for TB because your big fleet was shot down there, but at RT it doesn`t matter at all because you got to build a big fleet :P

And to those who aren`t aware that building up high is way cheaper with 4x buildrate.

2*upkeep*(turn/4)^2 / (0.5*upkeep*turn^2) = 0.25

As above calc shows the integrated upkeep is only 25% of the upkeep you need to pay, if you build with normal buildrate. Upkeep is the way most important expense when building a fleet. To use islander at RT as an example, now that i started commenting on his comment. Taking down thos 800 mil PR you build now will be way more expensive and time consuming than what it costed you to build it. So I don`t see why this has no influence at all, even at RT.

well PS should know... i heard he can predict the future...
U UberPansy
Spacefed is as sure as day and night ^.^
H HoneyBucket{HH}
That`s why i said "probably never will be" indicating that the odds are against it, though i did not claim that it will never happen.
U UberPansy
HoneyBucket makes an ultimatum. I don`t care about RT but I wonder how you can make such a statement of superiority? The future could belong to anyone after all.
R Raistilin
So, just got back from dinner. Roasted chicken with a baked potato. And blueberry pie for desert.
H HoneyBucket{HH}
PS you would have been taken down sooner or later... this event just sped things up... RT is not your server and probably never will be; accept what is and let it be (period).
A Atreides
how about those who where force to VM build cause they cant climb over 5M and that xing Pirate Event cause us the rankings, and we were on top... and i understand players here who are suspicious on staff manipulated event. Im talking about fast and past events. its getting off topic now lol
G GradualIncline
Can people please try UWs so I can fight them, I`m getting bored :P
P PosterusScientia
heh you are miles away from the truth. You would never be at where you are without the build rates as we were comfortably holding the ranks before that build rate crab happened. And I think I am putting as much of a fight virtually possible for an empire my age. I am sorry but I can`t make spams to 800 mil PR even with 5x build rate being 3 weeks old. Period. But 150-200 mil I could do without the build rate.
I Islander Admin
PS - The thing is, I would have built over all of you regardless, Just would have been 4x less power I`d be at now, and you all would have been lower without the buildrates as well. On RT it doesn`t really change much except in the case of UW`s or things involving the PR cap.
