He didn't get anything close to Arty until he was aided. So, there were at least two people needed.

I apologise for my inactivity, but I live a busy and restricted life. Arthus probably deserved to win, but my team proved themselves and I am most grateful. I will probably never be able to repay them, so I guess I'll give Vengeance as a trophy to my clan for their great efforts. By the way, can someone please let the public know who used the most to least turns, that would be an interesting data to know so that we can see who are the promisance fanatics and the skillful. Thanks.

That was his, but there was a 200 million gap before he was aided.

Not to take anything away from him, though, it was quite well done! :D And teamwork counts just as much as individual effort, in my opinion. There are different kinds of skill, as evidenced by the last few rounds.

But, if my estimation is correct (Arty uses 50% more turns), but only got 25% more net, doesn't that indicate Uchiha is just as good?

(Actually, Arty probably doesn't use 50% more turns, it's probably more on the order of 25% - I'd guess most people occasionally get in two runs a day or something, given stored turns and such. In any case, though, 25% more turns and 25% more net means Arty is actually no better then Uchiha...)

Hehe, I'm fairly sure turn usage advantage can only get as high as 10-15%. If I don't end up playing this round and I remember to, I may investigate total turn usage for a bit of fun.

Although, you have to remember, 25% more turns used does not mean that you will get 25% more net. It could be more or less, depending on how you use the turns. In fact, using turns properly is more important than using more turns.

You can get up to 720 turns in a day without stored turns, or 864 with them. Since most people make one 500 turn run a day, you can get a significant advantage with the extra turns.

I run either once or twice a day depending. I usually run in the morning and at night. If I am out all night then I only run in the morning and if I sleep in really late or am doing something else then I run at night. Many runs aren't done on full turns, I think anywhere around 420-500 turns.

I run about 1.5 times per day. Meaning I run 3 times in 2 days. Works well. Full turns are better than less than full turns. >_>

In fact, using turns properly is more important than using more turns.
i would definately agree with that dev as i probably ran just as many turns as arty and got nowhere near as much networth as he did thru my inexperience as a player and not finding the best strat to use with the race i use :unsure:

I run once a day most of the time. I always wait for full turns. It's very rare indeed that I get two runs in one day. Or even 3 in 2 days.

Seems the last word didn't show up for some reason, after all the periods, the word "farms" was supposed to be there.
