It's the damn reset scare. 
-
I'm still playing - though I think my war mongering might stop a bit. I just took over a new country, but I killed like 400,000 people I think (I could have sworn there was 6m, then 5.5m people). I'm going to consolidate and build up my new countries because getting two new countries up and running takes some time.
Keep playing everybody! They won't be resetting for awhile, if at all.Comment

Whats your new country's name dmj? It can join the federation too.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

I'm still playing - and I'm amazed at how quickly Services corps can grow in value. It took only a few days for a Service corp I started to go from being around $1 bn in value to $48 bn.Comment

My service corporations have been going crazy increasing corporation value - I think they might have increased total production in corporations, because my values are all increasing (and I just INCREASED my profit payments by 10%).
Word of warning: don't build too many service corporations as the president of a country, because they use a TON of workers. There are better "profit per worker" corporations out there. I heard clothes, oil, gasoline, and cars are good. I really am not sure which is better. Service is working for me, but maybe other options are better.Comment

More War
FINALLY I have been able to declare war on my neighbor. He is no longer a newbie protectorate!
His defense index is 30, and he has NO missle defense, so naturally it is time to pummle a country with nuclear missles, and with every other weapon I have
.
I know I said it was time to consolidate, but this is just too good of an opportunity (it is a 9m population country). The only thing that worries me a little bit is that this country USED to be a member of the Yaananian (sp?) federation that I was talking about before, but it's not anymore and I hope it stays that way.
If (when) I conquer this country, there will be only TWO more neighboring countries to Mentop that are not owned by me. Oh what a GLORIOUS day.
In other news, Mentop gets 50,000 people every day from its two slaves (Moronica and Revillon). To all those playing: once you can afford to get an army, get one and take over some countries! It allows you to make your main country SO much stronger. Low level worker shortages? HA! I transfer in 50,000 people per game month.
Another tip which I just started using: To keep your asset rank down, instead of using a tax rate that is "30%, plus 60% profit payment", figure out how much total percentage you are taxing state corporations, then just use that to tax everybody. It keeps (or lowers) corporation value down, but gets you the same amount of money. Don't use this if you want CEO corporations (obviously).
P.S. I changed the name of my country for the duration of the war. If you check the federation member page, I'm sure you can figure it out...Last edited by dudemanjack; April 12, 2003, 15:36.Comment

Oil and gasoline require high investment before they start giving you money back. My oil company when I built is started out with 210B $E debt just from buying inventory.

Ok, Revillon and Moronica have been invited to the Apolyton Federation.
Due to inactivity, Kingdom of Wine NO CEO and The Republic of Azazelia are being voted on for eviction.
If they choose to continue playing, they are welcome to return to the federation. However, we don't want our federation clogged up with inactive players.

Some war news:
I have taken over Lavatsa - 9 million population. I also declared war on Puissant (one of my 3 final neighboring countries).
Funny story about the Lavatsa war - apparently the president "planned his own defense" and placed all his weapons in one random city, so the entire place was undefended (except for the airbase). I only lost 200 anti aircraft batteries for the entire war.
Another thing that I found by my country: the computer country next to me has a defense index of 102! It used to be in the 70's, and keeps growing!Comment
