Re: Favourite rounds!
Round 4: being in the Ministry galaxy while also being active on irc and meeting new people online. Basically it was a much larger community back then with a ****load of various meta-games in between. Also realized that the 'good' people of this game were just people too, albeit with a plan and sticking to it.
Round 7: being in an almost all-dutchy galaxy. RYB. Played with people who also became friends in real life. Had a blast and also managed to play a proper planet. Got Fred deleted. Played in RaH and was a 'big' player. Made me feel good at the time.
R30: Playing for the first time seriously in Ascendancy. Started in a BP that was forced to exile. Landed in reeseksero/wishmasters gal and wreaked havoc there. Thouroughly fun and helped during those 10 weeks in Ascendancy to make the team perform better. Or at least I tried. Had a terrific ammount of satisfaction to see Ascendancy win in the end, basically having slaughtered, demoralized or otherwise incapacitated any possible enemy in the universe.
Those were the rounds i really enjoyed. There are also 3 that I remember properly which is round 33, when I ended top 20 for the first time. Being in a Ministry galaxy again we basically were not the best Ascendancy galaxy, but just below that. Therefore we just weren't targetted. At all.
Round 34: Another Ministry galaxy. The universe was against Apprime and Ascendancy. We had so much incomings that round. Usually having only 100-120 fleets available for defence versus 200+ attacking ships. But somehow Ascendancy had value and we usually managed to fence those big 4-6 alliance team ups of our galaxy. I worked hard for Ascendancy too, but failed to do anything in the 'bigger' picture other then survive. Top 10 finish too with my planet. But that was not because I played so well, but because I did not lose roids due to my riskaverse dc'ing (an euphemism for defwhoring from hell).
Round36: Ministry priv gal. Donation. 6/8 planets top 20. All really idle. At some point this has shown that we 'understand' the game.
