Topic: I won at Perpetuum.

After spending the last year playing the market, I have decided that since my subs run out in November-ish, I have won at Perpetuum.

What does winning at Perpetuum mean?

It means giving everyone online 1 million NIC, and a very special mention to the winner of the Essay Competition, Doctor Zoidberg.

Seriously, thank you for a fantastic game, devs, and other players. I've had a wonderful nearly-year playing this game, and though I'm done (because I won the game), I will always retain very fond memories.

And I still have more than enough stuff to come back and play the market again in the future, if the fancy takes me. >:3

(Final total of NIC made by one independent player over the course of a year, with no grinding/mining, purely playing the markets with a construction alt, 800 000 000 and a whole bunch of other random stuff. I think that counts as a high score for a player who never really got involved in corp stuff!)

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

I don't even have to ask for your stuff smile

Looking forward to new players and new conflicts.

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

Good Luck in your future ventures, thanks again for the NIC:D

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

800,000,000 is but a gentle breeze.
It's a score but not a high score. ;3

Best of luck to you.

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

Let me thank you again for your generosity.

The 4 million I received over the evening really gives a great boost to my career in Perpetuum and to express my gratitude my bot now has the surname "sponsored by Samada".

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

Thanks again for the NIC gift. It will be issued out to the newer players to get them started as always.
Hope to see you back one day.

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

Thank you once again for the 2M NIC.

It's a pity you're leaving, because if ever you wanted to call in a favour...

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

Well, it is not a high-score (1), though I'm glad you've enjoyed playing the market.

Sad to see you leave, we need more traders!

(1) I'm an independent player too, and I don't really grind either (I do production).

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

We need others scores to tell who is the high-score of independant producer ^^

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

Assuming my current rate of income is linear (and it isn't) after 12 months I would have about 630Mil.. So he's doing better than me.

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

2.2bil Liquid. Assets another 1bil(Est). GL in your future endeavors. Hope to see you again some day.

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

800,000,000? I've mined more then that (in worth) in alpha island ores. And around another 300-400m in epriton tongue

Best of luck.

Tried to click on the word 'this' assuming it was a link.. Fail..

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

800 mill isn't a lot, try having 10s of billions worth of research, plus billions in nic and assets.

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

Awesome job.  Considering how you made the money, I think that will be the high score for a long time.  The market has always eluded my efforts.  As a former options trader, now English teacher, I give you kudos for making money in an unreadable market.  Who cares if you have 100bil from mining?  Making 800mil from the market is a great feat.  Perhaps you should look into my former profession as a side job/hobby !

Re: I won at Perpetuum.

800 million without girnding seems like a great achievement. You have goal/vision in game make a plan and stick to it, that is what this game is about. Farewell mate. wink

RIP PERPETUUM

It was nice getting it day one, mainly because you are looking at the missions after the tutorial and go "11,000 ok thats ok", kinda like the game i used to play for starting ones, then you look at the robots costs.... then you cry a lil... then you go do other stuff and leave the missions alone smile

But yes, day one it helped quite a bit big_smile
