  You know you`re addicted when  

Playing since 06 September 2003
Empire age 2249 day(s)
Battles won 88
Battles lost 2,097
Colonies won 86
Colonies lost 5,216
Colonies explored 44,592
Planets plundered 38,896

Also, I`m now to the point I`m buying food, then selling it lower, waiting for it to sell, then doing it again. I`d buy minerals, but I don`t want the people who use them to come kick me in the shins. :P Note to those food sellers, you`re going to be getting a bit richer until I get bored and build up in pr for lack of anything else to do.

*cackles as another 200+ sets of 10k rutile go on the market*

Soon my red crystal will top 100 million, and I`ll start throwing it on the market too. If I remember to do it, at some point in the nearish future, I might post sets from 1 to 1000 :P just because I can I just need to save up 10 million rutile first, that or post only 2k rutile each time :D:D:D:D

Well, food looks like it`s back to what I want to set it as, 8, let`s hope it stays that way, I`m still recovering from buying food at 100, sheesh.

However, here`s another case of when you know you`re addicted.
You post 150+ sets of 10,000 Rutile on the market, just to mess with those people who like to buy out minerals :D:D:D

yeah, those people just earned a boat load of money, I spent up 400 billion credits buying out the food market and have now posted it at 8, if people try to force it up that high again, forget it, I`ll only buy up so high, then your food can rot.

Gah! I throw my hands up at the food market, finally get the thing stabilized, but now all the food empires are on strike or something. *pokes the food empires* get back to work, people are gettin` hungry in my empire. :)

Well, I feel the food market has been stabilized, I will no longer buy food up to 8 per, I`ll only buy enough to feed my people. If the market should fall back down to 4, then I`ll buy it up to 8 again, but not before then. I`m going to dig my way up another 100 billion credits, then I`ll be starting up Juicy Rewards again when I start exploring.

Good, they`re slowly running out of food. When they reach the point there`s none, the food prices will skyrocket, then I`ll be buying at 30 and selling at 8!!! I can`t win, why did I think I could! Gah! :P
EnderWiggin
99+ day(s) ago
haha, yeah Gradual... somebody has to feed the peeps, and nobody is posting at 7 anymore. at least not in the quantities I need...

Aaaaannd there goes another 9 billion rotting food onto the compost heaps. Good thing I didn`t go into this thinking I`d make money.

*gasp* I finally sold some food! I`ve lost close to 100 billion now, buying all of that pesky food under 8 whenever I check the market, then posting it at 8. I`ve reverted back to digging rather than exploring juicy planets just to pay for my bad habit :P At least I used a large number of artifacts making major dineros so that the artifacts I`m finding aren`t going to waste.

well, I bought it back up to 10 again, I`m going to keep it that high until my food comes off the market and I lose the 200+ billion credits worth of it, then I`ll try to keep it from going below 8, then both food and tax people are moderately happy, as opposed to tax people being really happy, and food people being miserable.
