TRYING REAL HARD of TO WIN LAST PLACE (11:7:12) Xan
Size: 12 (1688)
Value: 2,490 (1690)
Score: 2,490 (1690)
XP: 0 (1690)
Ships (0 Total)
This round was probably the best round of Planetarion I have ever played. I came dead last and didn't build a single ship or construction all round. It was ****ing great.
I signed up late and was 'gifted' 75 asteroids as part of the late start bonus. This put me miles ahead of my nearest competition, "janesb", who had zero asteroids and, as far as I can tell, didn't log in once all round. He is an inspiration to us all.
To beat him at coming last I recruited 5k or so guards to cancel out my res gain with wages. But that wasn't enough. Even if I fired all the guards my score would still have been higher than janseb. My only chance, I thought, was to get him deleted for inactivity, so I sent about eight or nine support tickets to that effect. PA team helpfully replied:

So I did, and after a whole lot of waffle from Judge about "automated processes", Appoco informed me that paid planets were never deleted for inactivity but 'of course' he couldn't confirm or deny that janesb was a paid planet.
So after all that I thought: **** the lot of them, I'll do this my way. With two days to go I fired all my guards and had Zaejii help by covoping the living shit out of my planet. We got it down to 12, a heroic effort for which I am eternally grateful. By the last tick I'd thrown away nearly all of my value, and finished more than 20,000 points behind my nearest rival.
I'd like to say it was a team effort, but Ascendancy were no ****ing help at all. Not once did they ever defend me, attack with me, or provide me with scans. ****ing useless the lot of them <3
