Re: The Planetarion Wiki and PA history

Januari 2010. Who would've thought. Planetarion is still alive and somewhat kicking. Since jer's last update Planetarion has been playing roughly with 1.5k planets each round, drawing out of a pool of 2-2.5k players. Round 35 has just started with the same people who dominated the last 9 rounds playing together.

Round 25 was won alliancewise by New Dawn, with Elviz adding another planet win (he would also win round 30) for Conspiracy. Round 26 was won by Ascendancy under the tag STOOMTHEREVIVAL, while NoX had a planet win with Cronix. The galaxy rankings were dominated by Ascendancy controlled fortress galaxies, while the round ended in time for the NoX flagship planets to make it. Denial was early on a very dominant force, but with combined efforts and some self footshooting, they ended up 2nd.
Round 27 would be their revenge, with Ascendancy playing on their level, but with emo-ing going on and half the universe gunning for Denial, Denial managed, (although some say through factors they did not control) to win the round with less the 1 million margin over Conspiracy and just 4 million margin over Ascendancy. The unlikely planet winner of this round was Linkie`, who to almost everyone is known as the casual community player, but actually put in effort this round and was greatly helped by others setting up attacks for him and on his biggest opponents. Galaxy win was for Cardinal's galaxy.

Round 28 was assumingly JBG's last round (oh how wrong we were) and Ascendancy set out to make the biggest win ever. Crushing their opposition (mainly CT and ND) Ascendancy won with a landslide. All the top galaxies were Ascendancy controlled or the score came from the Ascendancy planets in that galaxy. Almost double the score of the #2 alliance, an almost 200 million score gap, 25 out of the top 30 planets and an average score of the 31st place in the universe (with a 75 player tag, 60 counted) made it almost impossible in sheer terms of numbers to ever improve this.

Ronud 29 started with Denial in a great position. But the combined efforts of various alliances created their downfall. Once again Ascendancy moved in for the win, winning with a 60 million score gap, dominating the planet rankings with Sunny winning planet over Achi and with JBG's galaxy firmly winning the galaxy rankings. This made Ascendancy win 3 out of the last 4 rounds.

Round 30 was supposed to be the last round ever. With Cardinal, Golan and JBG in Ascendancy's command and Wishmaster restarting Omen as their biggest competitor it would be interesting, especially as this round would last 10 weeks. Ascendancy once again, as in all previous rounds, created fortress galaxies by timed exiling, and DLR did the same with one galaxy, who would be in the top 10 all round. Ascendancy had a rough start with Omen and CT hitting them from the word 'go', but Ascendancy proved to be a tough nut to crack and with CT's erratic focus and constant hits on Omen. CT proved to be unreliable and at some point it was just Ascendancy vs. Omen where Ascendancy came out on top. A combined effort by the universe in various ways was made, but did not last long enough for Ascendancy to be defeated or overtaken by someone else. Not only due to the sheer military efficiency of Ascendancy, but also due to political trickery. The last thing is something Ascendancy got more and more forum attention for and people watching Ascendancy critically. Ascendancy won the round as an alliance, with Elviz winning the top planet and a fenced galaxy winning the galranks. To also dominate that, the round did not last long enough.

Round 31 saw xVx with the lithuanians under Cardinal (who moved out of Ascendancy because he could not get hit lith BG in) move into the top spot early on, with the rest of the universe hitting Ascendancy. Due to a deal with xVx and Ascendancy, xVx stopped hitting Ascendancy and Ascendancy simply defended their incomings while outroiding xVx. Santacruz managed to win the planetrankings for xVx, with achi coming in second. An Ascendancy fortress galaxy won, again. This was also the second round Ascendancy played with a 'fun' tag, TOOT THE ALLIANCE. This was Ascendancy's 4th win in a row, and 5 out of the last 6 rounds.

Round 32, Ascendancy, seeing once more as a big contender, purged their community and played with a very small tag. Cardinal created Apprime (where a lot of exile's form Ascendancy went too combined with a lot of players that Ascendancy defeated in the previous 4 rounds) and Apprime won the round deservedly. However, Ascendancy's choice for terran fortress galaxies and their lateround napping of Apprime ensured a galaxy and planet win for Ascendancy. With Ascendancy having the top 4 planets, and all first 5 planets were from the same galaxy.

Round 33 Ascendancy played with a full tag and took on Apprime. While Ascendancy had fortress galaxies, Apprime was more spread out and Ascendancy had the advantage of being almost 100% Xan. With the stats of that round it meant that they could virtually roid anyone. Playing a good round, Ascendancy moved into the lead never to give it away. Although there was continuous fighting throughout the round, Cardinal at some point thought it was a lost cause, started kicking players and this essentially sealed the roundwin for Ascendancy. A non Ascendancy galaxy won the round and Reese won the planetrankings, with her crew running the #2 galaxy (#1 galaxy last round).

Round 34 saw the departure of Golan and JBG from Ascendancy and with other players who were usually influential (Benneh, Achi, rasputin) Ascendancy was somewhat lesser then the round before, while Apprime improved itself. The universe quickly went hitting Apprime as they got roids fast. Apprime, like Ascendancy, was situated in3 fortress galaxies, with the rest of their players (only a handful) scattered out. Ascendancy and Apprime made such a deal that backing out was neigh impossible and stayed allied throughout the round, sharing bookings, intel and defence (out of tag when possible). The interesting thing of this round was that the opposition consisted of a block of 6 alliance (of which Euphoria and DLR were the core) who consistently hit (with only a few exceptions where one or two of those 6 alliances opted out to go newbie roiding) Apprime, Ascendancy and later on VisioN who allied with both.
The galaxy rankings in the end were dominated by these 3 alliances. A galaxy who started out as subh, but shipjumped to Apprime and having VisioN HC as latestarters won the round due to virtually no incomings, closely followed by 4 out of 6 fortress galaxies, either (almost) full Ascendancy or full Apprime. Wishmaster won the round as a planet (due to shipjumping and being in the galaxy that never got hit) and the galay of Reese and eksero took #2 once again, proven to be a solid crew.

So from r26 to round 34 this makes for: 1 Denial win, 2 Apprime wins and 7 Ascendancy wins. With each round being coloured by either JBG and Cardinal in alliance ranking terms or Reese and eksero in galaxy ranking terms. The notable exception is r26, where Reese and eksero won as alliance but not as galaxy.
