Congrats! I've been trying desperately to catch up to you while feeding our GO contender and I just can't manage to catch up. Well done.

Edit: Current Difference =
Just around 141 million

Karkento - October 25, 2011 02:54 AM (GMT)
And the gaps only increasing. One final push!

Karkento - October 25, 2011 03:41 AM (GMT)
Only 137 million away and a silly market glitch (or screw up) that lost me 12 million more in sales.

Karkento - October 25, 2011 07:09 AM (GMT)
Only 125 million away

Korlaf - October 25, 2011 04:27 PM (GMT)
And i was nice, and spent a weekend mostly away from the computer!
I don't think i sent anything to market in a 36 hour stretch there from early sunday morning to monday afternoon!

Well played though, at the end i trooped up and down 2 times trying to add some rank as WarkaiD got closer to the clock, but i was worried when i saw him on vacation that he was going to prolong the age and i was all trooped up with no where to go! Was worried you might catch me today so i trooped down to have stuff on the market while i slept and forwent my page 1 finish!

Karkento - October 25, 2011 10:15 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I was thinking I could've passed you in 12-24 hours.

Cause in a 36 hour span I caught up by 200 million,

Edit: I was also in an empire. Were you?

Korlaf - October 25, 2011 11:10 PM (GMT)
nope! That was the goal though.

You might have caught me, but i also trooped up 2 times last night, and had to black market wood to do so. If i hadn't done that and not gone 36 hours without logging in, i could have stayed ahead!

As i said i was over 600 wood a turn per worker, i was pushing 400k a turn production!

Karkento - October 25, 2011 11:19 PM (GMT)
What is your iPop? Just curious.

Because I was at over 600 ore a turn per worker but was only at 250-300k because I didn't have enough population.

I just wonder if I hadn't sent out the 495 million gold what I could've done with that.

Though all in all, you played a sick game. I was farming you the whole time with no clue it was you on top. Well done. You are a beast :)

Kaldar - October 26, 2011 12:11 AM (GMT)
Azure this is all your fault :P

Karkento - October 26, 2011 01:27 AM (GMT)
I wasn't even trying for it though. It just happened and I was selling tons. Only in the last 2.5 days did I start trying.

Karkento - October 26, 2011 03:08 AM (GMT)
Also, in addition to what was your iPop, what was your highest amount of sales in one day?

Korlaf - October 26, 2011 04:24 AM (GMT)
I was over 1300 IPOP at the end.

As for best market day? I had a 24 hour period where i made just under 100 milllion. It happened when i had a big day of exams at school and didn't have a lot of log in time to refresh the market. I logged on to 15 mil sitting around and only 1.3 mil on the market. I dumped all mine, bought up the rest and put it back on, and went raiding for some stone and found a lot of wood on a few targets,. Within 30 minutes i had sent off around 23 mil in wood to market. I pumped it out all day and woke up the next morning to a disgustingly awesome market record!

Towards the end i was averaging 60 mil a day easy.

I can understand what you get buying on market and selling again to th titlle. You are working in a grocery in downtown market ??

Its really cool?? Then, how many players are playing not for CB rank? 5players? 10 players?

Bhaal, can you add ome new Titles:

#1 Most market spent
#1 Wood Producer
#1 Stone Producer
#1 Ore Producer
#1 Food Producer
#1 Gold Miner
#1 msg Sent
#1 msg Received
#1 Most time online
#1 Less time online
#1 Most caravans sent to market
#1 Most Resources sent to market

Perhaps next age will be more than 130 online players !!!! Rank for everybody!!!

Kaldar - October 26, 2011 12:10 PM (GMT)
Just give Mal the food producer title already :P

He managed to build a cit 3 out of FOOD ....... literally :P

Praneeth - October 26, 2011 01:39 PM (GMT)
Noon is Mal ? why he is hiding. come on friend we missed you in forum

Karkento - October 26, 2011 01:51 PM (GMT)
Okay, my best market day was 193 188 529
That's when I was doing some massive purchasing and repricing in the last 2 days. I was undercutting every other market and selling ore at 3.

Okay, so you had an awesomer iPop than I did. I lost a bunch through the age and finished with around 1250.

Carnage - October 26, 2011 02:07 PM (GMT)
Gotta love Noon. He never stopped making food no matter what. I might have to vote for him for my favorite player!

Karkento - October 26, 2011 07:39 PM (GMT)
Mal is just great :)

Funny thing is I received a message at one point during the age that you were losing regs. I didn't revenge cause you were IRON but maybe i should have :P

The only buying and repricing i did was when wood hit at 2 (or cheaper than average rate early in the age) i would buy it up and send it right back at 3. Most days I owned 50-70% of the wood market. Overnight Server Time i was usually around 85-90% of the wood market.

When other resources hit at 2 i was excited and would buy them up in a hurry in order to fill my banks! So the funny thing is that when you were undercutting it was likely me buying up your goods en masse.

Karkento - October 26, 2011 08:44 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I owed slightly higher portions of the ore market during the day but less during the evening. How long did you find your stuff was on the market?

Yeah, I had 2 multi-revenges done on me all age, and one solo by Blebbin.

Korlaf - October 26, 2011 08:50 PM (GMT)
Overnight i could sell 15 mil in 3-4 hours no problem. As this trend became apparent i intentionally stacked wood up on the market so that overnight I could sell a ton of wood. My average wait the last 3 weeks was probably 2 1/2 hours before i was at the front of the market. After that it usually took a couple hours to sell through as i very rarely had small amounts at any given time. I was usually sending 3-5 million at a time.

Karkento - October 26, 2011 08:54 PM (GMT)
Wow, that's fast. I was waiting anywhere from 4-16 hours a caravan :P

Selling stone at 3 was taking well over 12 hours for the last two or three weeks, often over 16 hours, and for a week or two it took over 24hrs to sell at 3 which is why I ended up making gold near the end as that gave me more profit that selling stone at 2 or waiting a day or more for it to sell at 3.

So switching to wood early on sounds as if it was a good move, korlaf ;-)

Korlaf - October 27, 2011 12:25 AM (GMT)
I didn't really look very close and notice the noticeable lack of elves in the age. that is most likely the reason i was able to make it in wood.

I was also to the point that i could turn a profit at 2 when wood was still at 4. So i had plenty of leeway in terms of choices, and that helped.

Karkento - October 27, 2011 01:14 AM (GMT)
It's because elves get blasted into oblivion.
