Care to explain ? Why ?

Something tells me there's more to this post than is being revealed.

Nope is not. It seems every time i go for 1st spot someone decides to do "purple" things and steal my spot.

I just wanna know what h2o did. I already suspected market manipulation on the food with the market being cleaned of over 60 mil food >55 ( 4 hours before end set) and then food selling until the last second > 80.

Well, I can tell you that h2o didn't have anything to do w/ the food @ 60. That was all mine. Imagine logging into 330 turns and 3.6b cash on hand.... that's a(n uncalculated) fluff. h2o had his stock @ 52, which I promptly bought ALL of so I could run turns.

Then, luckily, I went and resold all his food >70. I love screwy food markets.

Wait, what happened? I think I know but I'm not sure what you're referring to?

He thinks someone manipulated the food market. In actuality, I think TDA (and Cable?) bought out food. I know TDA did b/c Gogy grabbed him massively and he got fed up. Food was $125 at one point.. and then THAT sold..

After all the discussion about market manipulation, why would you make an incredibly ambiguous post and not send me any details by pm? This is the first time I've really heard about possible food coordination...

There wasn't any LOL. There have been a couple of sets where food's been astronomical on the last day of the set. fluff happens.

Then wtf is alin talking about? What is the point of this thread?

I take full credit for this. There have been quite a few allegations of market manipulation/collusion so I spent most of yesterday pouring over the market data attempting to prove there wasn't any.

Regrettably, there was plenty of collusion amidst the chaos of the food market and I acted upon it. I won't accept an appeal for this deletion either.

I have not finished yet, so there may still be more retrospective deletions.

Have a swirvey day!

this thread should be renamed "Calling out iZarcon" than.

Well good job iZarcon. If someone does this once every 2-3 months they will be piss scared to even try it again. Eventually at one point there will not even be a need for doing it.

I think some players ( that are on their own capable of wining the server ) just wanna score astronomical records doing market manipulation ( all sort of market tech/food or whatever suits that reset). They are well covered by a very limited number of n00bs who just buy at astronomical prices and some regular idiots who do it just to get this forum on fire (like mrford), or pissed players like TDA who just buys all the food when someone retals him ( love you TDA).

All you need to get the food market going is to topfeed TDA :)

Should really be calling out h2o and asking him what he did.

Hellooo.

All time mentioned in this post will be according to my timezone GMT +8

Set ends at 8am for me on a Monday morning(I have to go work).

I started stocking when I reach my land goal at 27k on Sunday morning 8am. I didnt cash all my turns yet because my bus/res tech were still low(tech prices were extremely high on fri and sat). Then I didnt care and got my bus and res tech at about $2200-$2600. Food prices were about $50-$60 at about 8pm on Sunday night. I saw a block of 60m food at $60. and CX mentioned he bought all the food below $60(http://www.earthempires.com/...set.-30099?t=1393384214). So I assumed his that was stock. I then cashed all my turns to put up a block of 54m bushels at $52 and 8m food at $59 to block CX food. I came back online at about 12a.m to find out CX stock has been sold and food prices were $125. I cash my turns on hand to sell $90 food(14m) to take advantage of the food shortages. I happened to woke up at 4.30am and I think there was 0 food on the market so I cash my turns to relist another $14m food at $90. I then woke up again at 7am, think food was $200 at that point of time. I cash my turns and listed 9m food at $90 and 1.2m food at $180(just for fun, I would recall them back to sell on private if they didnt sell)but they all sold, minutes before set ended.

Are you suspecting me that all the food buy out at the end are all planned by me? I posted on this thread that someone is playing the food market when I saw food at $125. why would I call out on myself? I knew someone was messing around with the food market so I took advantage of it. If I knew food were gonna be bought out, why would I only sell my stock at $52?

my stock cleared at $52 and CX $60 were all gone too. Then CX claims that he bought all of mine and resold them. So clearly CX benefited from this food craze and not me, except towards the end with about 30m food at $90 where I took advantage of the situation.

All i know is that i loged in 30 min before the set ended to spot some cheap food in order to play my 360 turns and found iZarcon in the market channel saying hi to me. I did imagine something is cooking in that moment, because i know iZarcon of being ... oh well.... you know, when you need to report someone you go to the moderators, when you need the formulas changed you go to qz, if you need the moderators over-ruled you go to martian. In case all the above mentioned fails, and iZarcon has time on hand, you can go to iZarcon :)

Agreed. This is a good development

Just to confirm that this deletion was not for the chaos at the -end- of the set. That was purely chaos for the most part and had no bearing on my decision.

this is to classy. first set that i won express and i do it because h2o is purple. It only could happen to me ...

If H was the one doing the market manipulation, then quite a few people here owe CX & fordy a public apology....

well we could not verify the "one" in your sentence but for sure no one owns hypocrite ford an apology since he admitted he is just trying starts and doing market buyout to piss the comunity.

You are giving me some hope in the game again iZarcon. Thank you for looking into this. Looking at the logs in a vacuum without knowing who put what on the market is just guesswork. But no-one else, except H2O I guess, was even doing that. We were the only people logged on full time for most of the last several sets, though a few others logged in and out.

LOOK! GETAFIX ISNT QUITTING! called it

and alin, i dont think you know what the word hypocrite even means...

i dont need an apology from these little drama llama fluffs. i didnt do anything wrong and the truth always comes out. these fluffs just embarrassed themselves.

Thanks for the help zarcon :)

Can I just add before closing this thread that tella and other nods put a lot of time and effort into effective modding. Sharing information, detailed speculation, will make their jobs much easier.
