Rudimentary stats for you guys:

Obiously everything is important, but for those that don't know a bit about this kinda thing, Normalised Networth at the start of the round is a pretty good indicator of a Fams eco.  Heaps of things affect it though, eg planets, total nw, nw/planets, even fleet the fam has - but yea, take it with a grain of salt and its usually a good indicator of how well fams are doing.

Popgrowth doesn't give you more pop, only faster pop growth.  So you don't 'really' need more than 10%.  50% is nice, and quick to get up and running, esp if you get opped - but most of the round, its not really needed.

I prefer to max out on science, because as a pop banker, you're going to have high networth and this makes it harder to get better research.  And as a pop banker, you only really start minting the money when you have high research in both eco and welfare - only then are you laughing at all the CF bankers

The only difference I add now to that post is that Revalons 'is' an option.  Not necessarily better, but it depends on your play style.   I prefer more research, but why Revalons is viable, I find, is because at end game when you have really high research, its not that much viable adding more and you can't go higher.  So in that case 10% more income helps.  Ofcourse the Revs would have had to put more gc into the research to be the same, but its like an extension to the income level.

I still prefer custom pop though.

Frog Hon!

lol Jets, interesting coming from you - considering your fam was the only one to break a NAP last round.

Good thing you all got owned tho.

Cos maybe you didn't choose "stay in family"

Either that, or you waited too long.  The link doesnt stay there forever, only for a couple/few days

Hey portgas!

"Laura told me what you told her the reason for ditching us both times were."

Share plz..

KB, u missed the smirnoff reunion

"Wouldn't them exploring into his core have been considered a breach of the NAP which could be considered voiding it? (ie. one side not abiding by the rules of the nap)"

We didn't explore into his core.  He made his ally pay for a NAP that he got from us earlier in the round.  And the Ally paid us planets that were in their own core.  5 rl weeks later, Noir cancels the nap on us (which war was set for a specific date) because were in his core.  He uses deceit to try to get his way.  This led us to attack him 48 hours after he cancels.  There was no nap break on our part.

I mean, Kollop accuses me of asking for coords for the NAP?  Then tries to get me blocked for it?  What he doesn't realise that it was his ally who told us what planets to take.  He just assumes stuff and blindly accuses of cheating.  Maybe it has something to do with that other round in Capri when we made him delete when he tried something again.  Guess he's still sour.

Anyway the reason I don't respond to their accusations is because I for one know they're all false.  And no amount of arguing with them seems to prove anything - they are blind to logic.  So I just ignore em.  If anyone ELSE wants to know what happened, theres a thread I made and closed in Uni news, and they are always welcome to come talk to me on chat

Noir and Kollop + their crew are just really upset, because for once Noir tries some dishonourable shit and instead of it working out for him, it backfired and he got raped.
