It's pretty easy to gain ranks in the beginning but once you hit the 2k range, or 500 especially, buying 5 2560's will only help you maintain your rank...maybe bump you up one spot.  It takes A LOT of improvement to jump up many spots when you're closer to the top and it sucks.

Hopefully I'll be under 500 when I update the rankings for TGA members next weekend.  I'm in the 520's now.

You should be hating Dallas then because as of right now the Eagles are leading the division by a game and a half.  How much is Minnesota up by in the NFC North?

It's all NS's fault that his Redskins couldn't knock off the Cowboys for me.  Now I have to hope that the Eagles can beat the Dolphins tomorrow night to stay 2 games ahead of Dallas.

Every time I've checked out of curiosity he's had 1 gold on him.  As soon as turn gold comes in I'm guessing there are at least 1,000 people launching attacks on his ass.

Wow...imagine if his turn gold was accumulating while the server was down...the first person to get to him could get away with like, 100 million gold.

Firstly...that's awesome.  Secondly, won't it technically be impossible for Striker to raise his rank at all if he gets completely molested with attacks every half hour?  He can't possibly do anything with his money and his defense keeps taking more and more of a beating.  Personally, I'm not gonna bother trying to steal his gold because it just won't happen.  Does anyone know how much turn gold he gets per turn?  I can calculate it but I have no idea how many mercs he has.

That was insightful...

Why do I keep reading insanely long posts like this that I obviously don't want to be reading.  Oh well...I read it.  You make a good point NS.  Hacking is part of the game and something that everyone must see as an option no matter how unfair it is.  If it happens...deal with it, don't bitch about it.

Without a doubt.  That's a lot of the reason my ranking is as high as it is.  My SA and DA aren't anything special compared to most people but my CA is among the top 500.

That's the problem.  It IS too easy.  Elves' Covert bonus is practically useless since so many people in the game are sab immune.

Some people illegally create second accounts that they use for the sole purpose of attacking potential victims of the real account.  This way they can see what your Counter Damage is going to be before they decide if they want to attack you or not.  If spies didn't become useless through spy immunity I think less people would feel the need to do this.

Well you can't just pass them around the league like fresh meat in a prison.  It's degrading.

Although you have to admit...it would be nice for the Eagles and Giants to have the Cardinals scheduled twice per season.  There's an easy two wins.

It's a good thing they changed up the divisions because it'd probably be hard to find an Arizona Cardinals fan.  :hehe:
