r22 Prediction
 

This thread is missing. I want some hefty predictions :D

Re: r22 Prediction
 

mhm.. no-one dares to go first! so il start :D

I suspect the top 3 contenders to be CT, Jenova and Ascendancy.
How the politics get played have much to say, but since i haven`t played the last rounds i don`t know the allies relations, so i can`t really predict.
Will also be interesting to see how good Vision, Rock, ToF can be etc.

Hopefully an interesting round!
anyone got some juicy intel or other predictions?

Re: r22 Prediction
 

My intel says that Ascendancy will claim to be an alliance not playing, and playing "for fun" if someone hits them, and claim bashing.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Whoever gets newt will win.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Whoever gets me will loose, that being both alliance and galaxy. And since i dont have a bp i will go random and fck up as many galaxies as i can :D

On a more serious note; it will be interesting to see what Jenova can bring to the game. Conspiracy is looking strong and as far as i know they've recruited some real quality between theese rounds. Ascendancy will ofc "not play" and by that have some 10-20% of the top100 planets. Angels is always a contender, may have lost some key members to Jenova, i dunno. And ofc there are allies like Newdawn, xVx, Subh, VsN, VGN, TGV, Rock, etc that can do well if things go their way. I personally think asc and Jenova got the better chance of doing well. Jenova for their disciplined members and command and asc for their flexible style of play. May be a fun round, who knows.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Yeah the smart moneys on Angels....

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Ascendancy always plays seriously. They just don't take the game seriously.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I predict that round 22 will be very, very boring.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Whatever alliance Mek joins comes third...

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I think this round should be pretty open,
Jenova, Asc and ct all wanting to win, and we shouldent forget ND and others either,

i personaly think > #1 Asc #2 Jenova #CT

Re: r22 Prediction
 

when have Ascendancy EVER done this?
when have Ascendancy ever claimed to "not play"?


Predictions:
#1 Ascendancy
#2 onwards is irrelevant.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I think he means not 'try'. But they actually will 'try'.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Ascendancy mass recruiting and fence sitting, as it's clearly the best and most effortless way to win. I also predict widespread use of fakenicks and defence relay channels, as well as #*.tv channels on every alliance.

Yeah, we'll win.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I predict lots of sleep deprivation and overdosing on caffeine. Maybe the end of a few relationships and possibly a divorce.

When I last played my wife at the time told me that if I didnt stop playing Planetarion she was going to divorce me. I carried on playing and the bitch didnt :(

Re: r22 Prediction
 

CT will win.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Im tempted to say if ascendancy doesnt win this round I will eat a shoe, but knowing ascendancy they will boot all their members the last tick just to make me eat that shoe.

Anyways:

1: Ascendancy
2: Conspiracy
3: Jenova

Re: r22 Prediction
 

<3
:D

Re: r22 Prediction
 

My guess for #1 would be Jenova--which has very strong VtS influences.

Contenders I see are Jenova, CT, and mabye Asc.

Asc has a shot if they keep a low profile, very little chance of that after last round. Asc's best strategy to win would be to ascend (pun intended) through the ranks much like last round, and keep a low profile, while outgrowing people valuewise (strong asc-heavy galaxies, good ingal cross-def, planets out of tag seems logical). Being a bit more proactive in their targeting or orchastrating hits on alliances would definantly be a large incentive.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Ascendancy's performance will be based solely on the motivation of its members, simply because it's up to them decide what they want to do. Plus we are carrying Alki and jerome so how anyone can expect us to win with them on board I don't know :(

Re: r22 Prediction
 

1. Asc
2. CT
3. Angels
4. Vgn
5. Jenova

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I predict that jerome won't get a top 10 planet.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Ascendancy dont really have to tag up many members since they tend to go with the crawl up into one gal strategy. so they can actually come from behind.. oh dear. a gay pun. :(

Re: r22 Prediction
 

the fact that I dont know who is playing for Jenova makes me think twice about them. I'm pretty sure bp sizes of 5 people will totally fit into Ascendancys way of playing. CT recruited alot of good players at this stage so my pediction goes:

1. CT or Ascendancy
2. The Ally who got pwned by either CT or Asc
3. Jenova (who might be Kingmaker in this case)
4-6. usual suspects such as Subh/ND/ToF/VisioN (go VisioN, really nice bunch of players)

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I predict lots of complaints about the new changes, and cos of them someone obscure will win :P

Re: r22 Prediction
 

It's just a complimentary exaggeration... :p

Re: r22 Prediction
 

1. Jenova
The rest:
CT gets beaten by Jenova, and ends further down the ranks. #2 to someone blocked with Jenova or someone not involved (like Ascendancy last round).

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I think r22 will bring back many old alliances giving it one more try because this round is free, and that because of these returning players r22 could get very interesting :)

Re: r22 Prediction
 

What does "try" mean? I aim to win every round personally. Just sometimes it doesn't work out. I imagine we'll do much of the same again.

wanna rejoin and do it for us?

Re: r22 Prediction
 

it's obvious after last rd's rebuilding rock will win this rd especially if assman accepts our offer of letting jenova be our flak ally :p
so go to the pub no point in playing

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Ofc that is the reality, but I was refering to DrunkenVikings 'not playing' statement thinking that he meant ascendancy will not try. Ofc they do but the image of ascendancy with a lot of players around r20 especially was the whole 'while you were trying, we were sleeping'.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

My intel says i will climb to #2 spot, but then getting deleted by kileman & possy for shipfarming :(

Re: r22 Prediction
 

This isn't really accurate. While there are active members in ascendancy there are also very inactive members. This was reflected in how last round while we had a very high number of players in the t50/100 the numbers further down weren't there. Apparently we've recruited more people though so maybe things will change*.









*I'm quite looking forward to setting up descendancy for one.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

prediction!!
me #1

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I would not be surprised if Jenova won. I also find it hard to believe that CT will beat Asc.

1. Jenova
2. Ascendancy
3. Conspiracy
4. not VGN.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I think its pretty wide open, bet there be some bug of some sorts to abuse this round so we will have to see. Whatever alliance plays its politics best will succeed i imagine.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

It'd be way cooler if you didn't have to farm ships to get yourself to the #2 spot :(

Just sayin y'know, because only cool people who don't cheat are allowed to be winners at this game :rolleyes:

Re: r22 Prediction
 

:(

Re: r22 Prediction
 

True, in that case I guess I meant your higher ranked players as almost all alliances have their inactive group.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

#1 Ascendancy
#2 Jenova
#3 Conspiracy
#4 VgN
#5 Descendancy

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Achi will win!

Re: r22 Prediction
 

I guess we could say, that given how last round ended, Ascendancy had an active group not miles and miles away from Wolfpack's group, but suffered a broader base of inactives. With the mentioned new recruits, Ascendancy will probably turn out to be the alliance possessing the group of players with the highest activity and skill. To add to it, their image makes them less applicable targets (for some ackward reason), hence Conspiracy and Jenova will probably end up pummeling each other for starters.

So.

#1 Ascendancy
#2 Conspiracy
#3 Jenova

The rest are trivial.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

But as always with the top 3 #2 and #3 will nap to take on #1 (possibly ascendancy) and deny they did, well you know the rest of the crap that comes with it. :)

My proper prediction would indeed be

#1 Ascendancy
#2 Conspiracy
#3 Jenova

But I'm not really clear on the memberlist of Jenova that's why they got the third.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Apparently there are a number of old Legion players (maybe 20 odd?) in jenova. I'd imagine a number of ex-angels players from last round will have moved across with assassin but this is really just supposition. Maybe a Jenova hc would like to inform us of their memberlist for next round so we can have a more accurate predictions thread! After all if you're fake-nicking what is there to fear.

Bar fear itself I guess.

And giant angry homocidal bunny rabbits.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

If many of the (if not all) old Legion players haven't played since pre-PAX then that's certainly not going to help. Ideally you'ld need a round just to practise and try out changes with the game. When I returned I basically said 'Okay, how do I scan for roids?' :( hope they had a decent crash course.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Or they could have played the recent speedgames! PA has never been a ridiculously hard game to pick up, it's far more about activity, especially in an alliance likely to provide you with bcs, dcs, scanners, raids every night etc etc.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Taking into account that I won the first PAX round I played the changes shouldn't be a problem if you can be arsed to look through them and familiarize yourself with the system before the tickstart.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Ofc it's not very hard but every little helps! Indeed if the activity is quality then they'll do very well.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

lol. :p. Is Med-Ion stil arroundish. PS you played ********** once and if I recall correctly we where galm8s.

Re: r22 Prediction
 

True, but which old alliances might give it one more try. Can't be that many ;)

Re: r22 Prediction
 

Think its nice having "old timers" back, and really those I seen so far, good chaps, good players & nice people :)

If they know the current "system" or not is one thing, its extremely easy to learn. But they got something most pa players don't have, commitment & "stamina" :)
