Hmmm... according to my calculations, if I upgrade to virus level 5, barring attacks, that will potentially generate 522,240 credits per day!

Anyone know where zin is ranked? He's not listed on the ATOT crew & I was just going to annihilate his credits to teach him a lesson for the threat. 😛 Last on at 3am or so, 7 hours of credits built up while he's been sleeping... muwahahaha!

Not sure what tool is available, but I cut and pasted everyone ranked 201 to 375 into a text document. No sense in wasting attacks on someone who is active (and thus would have no accumulated credits unless they foolishly were leaving them out in the open, waiting to purchase something expensive. I think that next time I take a break from the lawn mower, I might pay closer attention.

I was thinking something like this where we can see trend data.

If there's a way to automatically pull the rankings off the site easily, that's 90% of the work.

just sold everything to get to virus level 4, was able to buy back a few k in mhz

hopefully that works out for me 😛

My strategy is a bit different, I wouldn't build virus yet because all you're doing is being a cash cow. I stack up attacks and hit four or five targets at once, then use the proceeds to upgrade more attacks; rinse, and repeat. I think the whole point of this is to annoy people, because there's no point in keeping any extra credits. My strategy seems good, but then I can't keep my attack points because I'm always itching for retaliation.

Whatever I have leftover from upgrading my attacks, I toss them in defense, meh.

don't worry, sacrosanct fiend took the ~2k or so I had overnight. 😀

i think I'm ranked 4 something.

so I'm currently 464 I think.

Though I wiped out about 40k total in five attacks, upgraded to lvl 3 virus, some more mghz and waiting for tick for a kbps upgrade

(it would be corking if you guys would refrain from attacking em for ~13 minutes so I can purchase a new modem 😉)
 
I'm not entirely sure it matters during the day when people are awake. If you're hitting active people, there's a decent chance of catching them during that 2 minute window of opportunity while they're selling their mhz to upgrade their virus. Remember, to purchase the 120,000 virus, you've gotta have that many credits available, at least momentarily. Besides, with everyone getting 1 attack each 30 minutes, after an hour or so, most of the inactive people are drained to the point of not being worth it.

I think I prefer the idea of waiting ever 2.5 hours then unleashing all attacks, purchasing, lay low. At least, it allows me to be productive while at work... 😱

Has it already been established that this is a bad idea?

also, I've been attacking a bunch of LUElinks members. Got about 28k in two attacks from one Warriors of Nippon member, too (my best so far....8 hours into the game)

What are you doing? What's your strategy??
Click to expand...

Build up a stockpile of credits in defense and bandwidth ... sell it all and upgrade the virus ... build it back up again.

I was sitting on at least 8512 for both. When I sold out, I had 140,000 credits. 🙂

Virus level 4
2296 mhz
1024 kbps
666 infected machines
3,330 income per tick
Click to expand...

heh heh heh, sssnail, he's using MY strategy.

And right now I'm sitting in 280th,
Virus level 4
6964 mhz
11620kbps
3360 per tick
😀 I passed nobody again

I'm in third??! sonofa...

EDIT:
Virus level 4
8000mhz
1500kbps
5205 per tick

sssnail 10:40:

Banette 10:40:
I failed on that attack. SO
HARD. T_T I knew it was a
trap...
 
ATOT has moved up to 14th, and I need to go replace the belt on my mowing deck & mow the lawn. That'll keep me busy for about 5 ticks. And give me time to decide what to do next. Do I go for virus level 5? Or do I massively upgrade my kbps & attack those above me before you guys get to the point of being able to? 😛

And, a snapshot of the current rankings of ATOT crew, to see how moves up & who's a loser.

no worries though; I was expecting far more attacks than that.
