I just had a pretty good game against "Simon Dreps". I started off with a 0|0 bomb shooter and a 2|0 tack shooter, and he started off with a 0|1 bomb shooter and a 3|0 tack shooter also (he got a second tack shooter on round 4; I upgraded my tack shooter to 3|0 around the same time) We both went economy until round 6 (before then, we were sending pink/blue mixtures at each other; that's why he bought the second tack shooter [I think]), where I sold my bomb shooter and bought an RoF while he got the RoF without selling anything. We both kept going economy, and he got a monkey village on round 8. For me, I bought a 2|3 mortar on round 11 (almost was too late), and by then he had the 0|2 village. I had 800 economy, and he had around 600 (I asked him). On round 13, I placed two ice towers around my tack shooter and upgraded one of them to 2|3 and the other to 2|1. By then, he had a second RoF and was going for his 3rd (the village made things cheaper). On round 15, he bought his 3rd RoF, and by round 16 I had 1000 income and he had about 800 (again, I asked him, but every time I asked him he was a bit stubborn; that is why I was raging in my last chat message before he surrendered before he surrendered). I bought 4 MOAB Maulers, and he bought 3. On round 20, he bought 2 more MOAB Maulers, and by then I had saved up for my 3|2 ice tower (3|2 ice tower + 2|3 ice tower + RoF = bloon anihilation [until round 38; then you need some more popping power]). After I had 3200 income (which was near round 28; I had bought a 2|4 mortar by then), I started to save up for a large ZOMG rush against him, which would cost about $70k and would DEFINITELY be a game ender. During that time (between round 28 and 32), I actually had trouble with my MOAB popping power and even had to micro my mortar and use a blade maelstrom as the ceramics somehow got past my Arctic Wind, RoF and Ice Shards. Then, I bought a few more MOAB Maulers, one more MOAB Assassin (I had the money; it didn't cost that much since I had so much income and a bunch of money anyways), and then I spammed about 8 or 9 0|0 bomb shooters on strong (see picture). I did this so that if he rushes me first, I would be able to buy a bunch of MOAB Assassins and totally anihilate any ZOMGs he may send. However, on round 32, I sent 7 ZOMGs, one fast cooldown BFB and one fast cooldown MOAB and immediately asked him if he thought 7 ZOMGs could kill him (he had bought a second village and some more MOAB Maulers by then; he had about 1500 income when I asked him). When he said he didn't think so, I said "gg" and "good luck" and then the ZOMGs FINALLY appeared. After that, he bought a Super Monkey and upgraded it to 0|3. I then realized that he was trying to get a Technological Terror so that he could destroy the BFBs once they come out. However, two things stood in his way: 1) a low income and 2) the fact that there were so many ZOMGs and that they had a bunch of health by this point. I tried to ask him what his income was near the end, and he didn't respond. I was asking that so that I could discover if he could afford the x|4 Super Monkey in time (I knew he still didn't have a good income, but I wanted to know what it was anyways), but he still didn't say. Then I finally raged and said what was in the picture, and he then surrendered (probably because he realized he couldn't afford the Tech Terror; I hope it wasn't because I raged, but that is unlikely). Anyways, it was a good game, and if that guy is reading this, you probably should have used Ground Zeros intead of a Technological Terror. Just saying :P
