  1. Guys, I've been trying to find something to keep me from boredom and with clan killing getting destroyed (irony) and a rise of forum noobs.
    The hire drop will now be tested.


    Pros
    1. Ensures noob/statless alt doesn't grow
    2. The hire drop requires 7 button presses
    3. Relies solely on your income
    4. The hire drop is completely free game (no one frowns upon it)
    5. Targets news feed gets spammed
    6. Target and randoms regularly leave posts on your wall (they're all absolutely hilarious)
    7. Targets don't know what to do in this situation (as you're not farming them)
    8. Acquiring a forum cf request is complete hilarious victory
    9. Encourages unity among hire droppers
      A comedic insult to target

    Cons
    1. The hire drop requires 7 button presses
    2. Unless kept under supervision, target may grow beyond your reach (cash-wise)
    3. You may be farmed by the target's connections (disabling growth does make some people mad)
    4. Leaves links (to profile) via target's news feed
    5. Extremely rare cases when target cares little for your hire drop
    6. Target does gain some profit
    7. Hire dropper/s will incur losses (money-wise, maybe fight losses)
    8. You are prolonging an inevitable growth
    9. The ally market is a completely different entity that will side with the enemy
    10. Unless you're really active, you will not overcome the ally market
    11. Randoms wanting the 200 allies commander badge/max plunder will pick your target erratically
    12. A perishable skill (unfortunately)
    13. To ensure success, partners may be required
    14. Sometimes your partner may accidentially purchase the target, boosting the ally price.


    Final score
    Pros:10
    Cons:14

    Hire dropping requires patience and no matter what occurs you will receive losses. Whether you use it is completely up to you. Good luck.

    7 button presses
    news feed > target page > hire > home > allies shortcut > (scroll) fire button > confirmation

  2. So hiring and dropping does what?
     
  3. It pisses off the other person that's enough for me
     
  4. So then, say they hire after you drop then you just keep doing it? It seems very interesting.
     
  5. You just continue, yes.
    But people do give up the volley after a while.
    They make so little profit.
    But the ally market won't leave any 'partially' active ally alone.
     
  6. You do it until you can't afford it. All the way down to 10k
     
  7. The money lost is staggering but the frustration wrought is worth it.
     
  8. Yes.
    There is a point where you get the ally to ~8K then you can't drop any longer and remain with the ally.
    Hiting the 10K mark is the drop point you want to get to and leave your target ownerless.
     
  9. Heh it's always fun doing that.
     
  10. It was more fun getting 60% of the original hire.
     
  11. Money can always be regained via hauntings and targets are rarely above 15bil.
    You got to make a sacrifice.
     
  12. Sasuke, ever use this technique to farm a ps?
     
  13. I wonder how effective this is when there is an actual volley going on. My guess is, not very.

    Only those who do wrong and are within my price range get hire droped.
    Being a 1man strip team is impossible then dropping target's allies repeatedly. Pure spies don't buy cheap and use bombs 80% of the time. :lol:


    @jac
    Who would volley a noob or statless alt?
     
  15. I don't see why you would want to negatively effect the longevity of the game by harassing newcomers, and statless alts usually don't care for growth. I don't see a point to this.
     
  16. Noobs and newbies are two different things.
    I help newbies, currently this guy called 'RevolutionaryWolf'.
     
  17. Hey Sasuke long time no see. Nice to see you back.

    The ally market picked her up, she was my previous target.
    If she didn't care about growth why bother boosting spy stats?

    Hey DarkSwordsman, I haven't seen you since Team Asia. Still watching anime? :lol:
     
  19. I've always been sorta low profile. Only place i talk too much is in CC.

    Of course I'm watching anime! Haha watching 12-14 per season.
