I wanted to share with the WG community some degree of what a turncoat EC is (since they backed out of the peace offer they made).
I provided EC with substancial military and economic help. It was at this time, even with all these messages he sent (see below) that he was planning to attack me.
Even as I was giving him advice that he, himself, said turned his enterprise from losing money to making money. Even as I gave him advice making his countries more profitable. Even as I gave him military advice.
AS I WAS DOING THIS, he was planning to attack me. See below:

Chryso, thanks for all your help with the worker exchanges! Health is the only index keeping me from level 4. Hopefully the new workers give me a nice push.
PS Remember that issue I had in Underworld with the hiring issues??
Well, finally it is fixed!! There was a serious retirement bubble going on. Kind of rewarding to have worked through it.
Thanks again for your help/advice!

Wow, thanks for all the help Chryso! Seems like I have to go to building in C3's now......most people have their CEO block on. Oh well, I guess C3's are everywhere for the picking.
I was looking at your main country Agape (hope you don't mind), using it as a template for how to build a succesful country economy. You have set a high standard my friend! 450B total income with only 70M pop!! I have over 80M in my main and the best I can come up with is 250-280B per month total income. I'm currently adding state corps to it with the thought that I can always IPO them to my CEO when they are fully upgraded to 200/200. It is currently in the WGC market, which I think is costing some profit. I have my own common market for my other countries and will probably eventually leave the WGC market to join it when I get enough state corps built. All that being said, any thoughts on how to raise my monthly income in my main?? I am building towards 140T in loans, and have just started buying shares of companies. I had my state salaries WAY too high and began lowering them to 205 and also began lowering my govt. salaries to 225. I think I can drop the govt. salaries even lower as long as I keep plenty of workers available.
Thanks for your advice and your time,
EC

Chryso, just letting you know that I haven't had that nasty "your corps aren't making a profit" in over 9 game months!!
Things seem to be getting better!
Thanks for the help, the salary reduction must be doing the trick

Thanks a lot Chryso, I'll keep adjusting and just see what works best. At least at this point it is fun to have an enterprise again, not just watchin money disappear. Maybe one day when it turns a nice profit, it will all be worth it. I'll let you now if I have any sub-questions of my last question. Maybe parts 1a,1b,1c...etc!!!!
Thanks again,

OK, so one last question, , sure it is.
If my CEO corps are at 100% hiring, raising the salary is absolutely pointless and a waist??? The only point in higher salaries is to get workers into my corps??
I now believe this to be the case. So, as you said, I will slowly lower salaries across the board until I see a hiring index dip, then I will bring them back up a bit.
I just discovered the Gamemaster Corporations. There are some profitable corps in there! I bought a few to see if they continue in profit. Also bid on a few C3 corps that looked good.
Thanks for the advice,

Corps is such a fitting word for my CEO, The Great Commission, as it appears to be pretty dead.
I don't want to have to micromanage my corps too much, so I set all my salaries in my CEO to 700. I figure at the very least, this will keep workers in them. Does this sound like a good #????
I still get a message quite often that my CEO is not profitable on my home page. Any thoughts on how I can improve, as I just continue to build away. Medical Materials has been the only consistent corp for me.
Thanks for your thoughts, and congrats on your #1 finance ranking. Who better to ask than #1 right??!!

Thanks Chryso,
I don't disagree with you, all I'm saying is that he should not have posted that I am greedy, and pestered him until he gave up Babylon....once again, out of greed. Or, if he did, take it to HC so no one else could see it. As I said in the last message I sent you, Jaffle has already edited that post once. Maybe he has regrets as well.

I do disagree as of right now....can't get passed it yet. I have re-read it a couple times, Jaffle has even edited the post to try to make it sound less offensive. Too late. By the way, you're doing a great job filling in for MoP. Looks like I too, will not participate in war games now.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my country. Man, one can really wreck a country when going for levels/rank. No more of that for me! I'm going back to a couple eco countries and some serious war slaves. Guess that's just my style. It will take me a while to get the corps switched over to my CEO, but I will start the process.
Thanks again,

Chryso, if you get time, could you take a peak at my main country, The Commonwealth of Christ? At one point in time I had a finance index of 170, which is probably not that great, but very good for me. I screwed my country all up trying for levels/rank and want to get it back to what it should be....an eco powerhouse. Any suggestions on salaries, health, transportation or anything else would be greatly appreciated. I have been adding corps steadily for a while now and that is helping. I would love to see it turn a 200B profit each game month, but it is far off of that. I was making 140-150 before the levels/rank changes were made, now it's not even close to that.
Thanks for the help,
EC

Chryso, I'm preparation for war games 2 and would like some advice from green team members on any fatal flaws they saw in my country. I know naval defenses with tons of ammo was one weak spot. What, if anything, did you guys see as a target/weakness?
I'm really excited to see how much stronger these games make us in the WGC. It's one thing to have weapons/ammo, but to know how and when to use it is priceless! And think about this, we were charter members of the war games! Our info provides a baseline for everybody else to build from!!
Thanks for the input,

Thanks, I guess I'm glad there at least weren't any glaring weaknesses in my defenses. Seemed like Keith became a target early on because of those hybrid wings. Our whole team strategy got messed up early on when Brutus dec'd on those C3's, making it impossible to dec on you guys. We had discussed declaring at the same time...after I did, he messaged me and said that he was stuck with the C3 decs only. Gulp.....I knew you guys would have total focus on me until he could get in the war. Guess that's why I came out swinging so hard.
Thanks for the info,

I've thought a lot about it. I find it hard to run against my friends. I look at all those currently running, and feel they can all do the job well. I think you are a lock for MoE. Matt does well with the recruiting, Brutus is perfect for MoD, Jo is great at Foreign Mininster, Kaymen or yourself will be great at MIA. Dale is a bit too inactive for my liking to be chairman, but he is a WGC legacy...no use trying there. So, that being said, kind of leaves me undecided.
