Yes, actually, several. NA and M4D are my two clans, I mostly chat in both of their discords. The M4D Discord has almost every tag in the public areas as well.

That was great. Igor on pace for 20 goals/20 assists, maybe he can play on the second line when Garand starts in goal.

I've been trying to convince theo, skylo, lawrence, nitell, etc about my grabbing market inefficiency theory. I just haven't had time to come back to express and do it.

Why on earth would we want to kill him?

I haven't had time to keep up with anything but the Rangers so far, early results are always weird though. Especially with drastically curtailed practices and less preseason - we basically just have a couple of preseason games that count in the standings now. Particularly Edmonton - they start slow every year, then McDavid gets 30 in 12 or something and they are right where they need to be at the all star break.

I just don't like you. You're a fluff. Have some of your own medicine.

SHESTY!!!!!

That was *much* better. I'm expecting to look good against the red wings too.

Oh hey, I think I might have accidentally typed your number instead of an npc. And then clicked to do it again. And then again. And then a few more times.

Totally on accident though.

I mean really, have you considered your wardrobe? You look like you want it.

The only part that really demands your time too much is walling. Just don't do that, we're good. :)

Yeah, me too, rare territory. Alliance feels silly with peace forever.

Yeah that sucked. First 2 periods looked like preseason, Boston wins their 11th straight home opener.

I would play

Celebrini is a monster, and he seems like a really grounded kid too. Love his game.

Classic is definitely the hardest environment going right now. If you're looking for a place to learn the current stuff in peace, with help, we'd love to see you in NA. The Cooperation round ends in a week, so a new round is starting shortly. We even have guys who get spy ops for you so you don't have to.

Agreed, the Panthers will be solid. The Atlantic looks to be the toughest division again, with Florida, Buffalo, Montreal all appearing to be poised for excellent years. TBL is a bit on the wane at this point I think, but still dangerous.

Preseason is almost over, regular season coming.

I'm predicting the Rangers finish second in the metro. This is more optimistic than most in Rangers-land. The difference is less that I have more belief in the Rangers than everyone else, and more that I don't believe in the Caps as a solid 2nd place team.

Never really knew him I'm afraid. Remember the country name though, and knew of him.

That crushes the most I've ever had, by a lot

I guess I've decided to ride it all the way down, like Slim Pickens. :) Good to see you around too, whatcha been up to?

Bro I am playing with you this set. You think I would do that and then blindside? Of course not.

You like warring? M4D might have something cooking for next set. There's not many wars left these days, but we have a great warbot in the Discord. :)

https://discord.gg/9CDFQykYn

sup

Hey, I'm like 1000x the size of the vatican!

Whoever you hit it wasn't me, I haven't played express for many sets.

Supes, I've been telling the netters on the server that there's a "market inefficiency" in grabbing on this server and as soon as someone breaks the meta with hitting human targets and wins this server is going to go wild west again.

Nice

Nitell and lawrence win the most?

You're just doing these rankings to get a rise out of me at this poiint aren't you 🤣

I have 289.4 NW/acre

Or are those the lowest ones?

Oh, I see, you waited until I slowed down my grabbing and my huge lead is gone, these rankings are biased, grelk is oppressing me

Fill in the cracks in my story, fine, but you'll find an awful lot of folks agree with the broad strokes of how I said it.

LaF is still on the Cooperation server. SOL & Mercs left jointly, uh... 3 resets ago? 4? There was a huge server war, because everyone was sick of them being ass holes, but also there was a bunch of mod/admin stuff going on with them too, and they sort of abetted some hacking of the game with sloppy security on their site and refused to fix it...

So they were the last one out the door of those you mentioned, but I wouldn't call "an entire legendary alliance came back from the dead for the purpose of giving you one last epic ass kicking because you were such ass holes all the time for so fluffing long" winning.

That was Omega, btw, and they are still here, and they're pretty fun. :) You can find them in the Discords I shared in the other thread.

I hope you do, it's good to see old players come back and have fun. :) Sice things are probably a little different since the last time you were here, this is a breakdown of the current server offerings:

Classic is what it says on the tin, the old school single player experience, all PvP.

Express, for my money, is the most fun solo server now, but it's a bit intense and I can only do it maybe 3-4x quarterly.

Conquest is decent, it's essentially "what if tourney had one rung of players instead of three, but also a functional market?"

FFA, like classic, is as labeled. 16 countries still I think? I don't know I don't play FFA it's too much for me. Apparently the new control dashboard helps a lot though.

I think Cooperation is probably the easiest to come back to, it's a clan server, you cannot attack other players only bots, so it's purely a "perfect world" netting competition. In NA, this round I am getting all the spy ops - so you wouldn't need to even carry spies. This is a common thing on the server, as all ops are shared to the whole clan ingame. We have an active Discord on NA, and probably some other people you remember if you'd like to stop in and say hi. Most of our activity is in members only channels but there's a lot of idlers in our public room.

https://discord.gg/WwpAtfBkh

Alliance is the closest to old 1a or Council or whatever you remember the server being called. There's only one war tag left, M4D, and we can never get anyone to fight us now :(. We have some pretty badass tools for warring in the Discord bot, though, and we're going to figure out a plan to use it again I think next round. :) M4D also has almost all the tags idling in our server, if you pop into the "General" channel and holler people you know will almost certainly be there.

https://discord.gg/H3FN5skk3

Although I actually am in Bad4U this round for funsies, if you just want to be my groupie. 😜

https://discord.gg/WVSuSHB4n

Yes, welcome! You and I did not play together in MD, so I don't know if you remember me either. 🤪

Yup, game still going, there's actually a pretty strong level of competition on several servers.

You looking for a new home?

The new season is approaching. Carlsson and Celebrini have new 18M AAV deals. Bedard hurt his other shoulder. The Panthers got hte other Tkachuk, and Barkov is back.

The Rangers should be improved as well, their defensive corps is miles better and they should see some offensive improvement from the key youngsters, plus they picked up Dorofeyev.

I'll go with Car/Buf as the EC division champs, with NYR, FLA, WAS, and MTL as my non-wildcard playoff teams in the East.

In the West, Colorado will switch places with Dallas in their division, and Minnesota will again be the third non-wildcard.

The Pacific will continue to be ridiculous. Edmonton, VGK and SJ make it to the playoffs out of that division.

Oh damn I did't realize that there were 2 fatties at 67k I only saw the one very nice

PDM dominating early with #1 and 2 other t10s, Omega and Bad4U showing well so far

Time to update the rankings?

Humanitarians, bot defensive allies, research allies mattering - there's already a lot of different stuff about alliance compared to the other servers. I don't think this difference adds value to the server. I am open to being wrong.

That is all

Yeah, but... that's not the only kind of attack players do to each other 😆

The rest of us meeting Gerdler:

https://youtu.be/...v0E2I?si=rghUjpLeXAtsuvTq

It's not the years, it's the miles.

Oh is it the 100th here? Sweet.

Welcome back!

Plenty of us left that played in the Swirve days. Tourney is indeed retired. New players I recommend start with Express to try it out, if that's too fast paced Conquest lasts as long as tourney did.

You interested in clan play at all? Alliance is basically still the same, cooperation is a pure netting server, no war.

I see now that I need to get back into running Express more often and get myself on to this list.

I am in. I'm sure M4D is in.

Rattlehead, head of nothing and no one.

I can't speak to this round of play specifically but saplingg is very good, he's won cooperation twice, and he likes to experiment so he might have been gathering data more than even going for the win

But full agree that's a boatload of acres and also over 70M is impressive
