Ever heard of timezones? Or sleep for that matter?

As soon as you build an idiot proof system, somebody else builds a better idiot.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.

You guys constantly complain about the DMU you got, just think about the 4.5t that the seller received. :-D

Dont worry people, the next 3 times its auctioned, the bid will be 3 trill. Just do what any other SGW addict would do... set your alarm clock to the time the auction is up. sacrifice some sleep for this game. If your working, call in sick, or explain to your boss the importance of getting the DMU. He or she will understand.

He's got to wait for a while. I don't have enough turns to farm half the server again yet.

Sin, wait a few weeks before doing another 9trill bid. :P

For those of you who think I have "farmed" back most of the DMU that I have bid on the weapon, you are sorely mistaken. I was one of the most vocal on doing away with the SW entirely (it is totally an "F U Big Guys" addition). Whilst I was playtesting the ascension updates, I informed Forum that Sinister and I would never let the weapon out of our hands. He then came up with this crazy idea to "force" the buyer to use the weapon. Well not one to take advantage of the obvious flaw in that plan, I pointed out to Forum IN THE DEVELOPMENT SERVER that if he implemented that update that Sinister and I would just hit members of our own alliance and use it as a way to "transfer" ridiculous sums of DMU to our members. He said, "Great! Go for it!", figuring it would be a good way to slow down our growth in ascension (BTW, it has; that 9 trillion was about five and a half days of income, which is 11 charisma levels for me). All of the DMU went to the seller at that point. Then there was a hue and cry because the evil DD bastards were using the SW on *gasp* *horrors* THEIR OWN MEMBERS!! Let me reiterate this: we were attacking our own members and NO ONE ELSE and people were complaining bitterly. So then Forum arbitrarily changes the percentages to 5% for the seller and 95% for the community, which was utter BS and I told him so. I had informed PRIOR to the weapon being introduced that this is what would happen with the weapon if he introduced it into the regular ascended server, and then he has the gall to act shocked when we actually do what we said we were going to do with the weapon. So then he changes it to a 50/50 split, which I still think is ridiculous. And STILL people complain. Hey! I've got an idea! Why don't we let the seller get ALL the money, like he or she is entitled to for being hit by the weapon? Then none of you will have to worry about getting farmed every four or five days. Either that or you can pay attention to when the auction is going to end and try to arrange to be on at that time and spend your DMU quickly. Or do like most of the CiA cowards do and go on permanent vacation. Then you won't have to worry about getting the DMU. Other than that, STOP YOUR WHINING! The DMU was never officially yours to begin with: it was MINE! I earned it; you didn't. If I had my druthers no one but the seller would get the DMU but I have to live with update after constant update designed to screw over my accounts in ascension and main with no relief in sight. So forgive me if I really can't feel your pain. I have experienced so much pain in the past six months from the damage caps, rank mods, vacation mode abusers, etc. that I really don't need your whining and <modded> about losing money that you really didn't deserve in the first place.

ofcourse, noone just drop dead when you said that 9T = 900M LF only gets you 11 chr which means they are about 80-90M each which puts your Planet production, at Chri 350-400 means about 4-5M planets a days.

Yeah have fun guys,
