Alez has taken off and whizzed through the 10 digit Barrier so fast nobody noticed.
Well done! :occasion5: :wav:

Thanks guys

, but that's not dust being kicked up. It's a smoke screen in an attempt to slow down that pesky colonial pirate Scole from catching me too quickly

Scole, I think that you've just taken top spot in my Internet forum quote list

Pester away.
I'm off on holiday now. I've only got 3 ant miners on the job so far. But I'm confident that they will keep me safe for a few weeks. If either of you look like getting within a billion of me then it will be time for some serious hardware acquisition .
Pester as you will, I'll not yield!

Hope you are not on holiday for much longer...

Stuff happens - Que sera sera!
I've spent most of my TSBT career as team runner up or even part of the chasing pack so I'm used to not being head honcho!
However, I'm not sure how most of the world will cope with being thrashed by tiny Anguilla - their RAC exceeds Japan & the UK to name but two big hitters at risk of relegation. How can that be happening?

Anguillan Pirates only have two rules. Rule #1: We have no rules. :pirate: Rule #2: See rule #1. We invest our booty in superior firepower. We strike fast and decisively.
Ah, the pirate life. A chest full of loot and a Bonnie Lassie in every port.

You can't fault a small country for having ambitions, Mr Salmond is banking on that and a historic sense of made up injustice

The rest of the world can just enjoy a good spanking

and Mega is still the boss.

And the Piratical One is in third place. Still over a billion credits behind yours truly but that won't last.
And his Shipmate Scole has become Billionaire #5!

Those were fast and easy credits. There's no comparing those to the ones earned by everyone else in the 6 and 7 digit range. It's all for fun. I'm running BU to drive our team and island (Anguilla) totals up. I am crunching all science on my GPUs and all but a couple CPUs now. So this silliness does still benefit other projects.

And Alez is a double billionaire now, relegating poor old Steve to third place and threatening my supremacy within a few days!

He's been quiet. I was wondering if he's been struck down by lightning or some other horrible fate for passing Merlyn?

He did post something about going away and probably not having Internet access, or he's maybe to busy trying to keep his multitude of ants, rocks and other assorted crunching devices slightly below melting point 8)
I'm sure our chief pirate will be back soon :pirate:
