Another "do-nothing" round for me. I think I launched 3 attacks all round, and got roided probably as many times. The last one (about a month ago) I was offshore for two days, so lost a bunch of fleet.

Defended with two and three fleets more than anything else. Shadows/Ghosts came in handy in an alliance of Xan Cruisers.

My worst round for ages :-( I did not even hit top 100.
Being in 4:10 was not easy. Incommings all the time but my galmates did a ****ing great job to def as good as possible! :highfive:
But they also managed to rape almost my whole fleet when using my ships for ingaldef, heh.

This round was for JBG only and next round its time for Penis-Allianz! again. Playing in an ally is not my way to play.

Prost!

One of my better rounds until I recalled a FR attack onto a triple team while I was at work :/

Alot of people in VisioN went for Xan and I think that helped with defence. Having posi dc nearly all night every night helped as well - ty for being there to send my fleets to salvage collect <3

I think my 2 main mistakes came at the very start 1, playing cat - in theory in a xan round this was a good idea, de could get through big xans pretty easily, but oddly xans had higher than usual emp res and cr and fr were allways good against me too... 2, I decided to go random, and then exile around, then when I landed in a pretty bad gal I decided I could not exile and ruin the gal's chances!! so cat in small gal disease = an endless stream of incs, on the downside I was abit n00bish and 2 fakes got through me, on the + side more than a dozen were blocked by leaving a few ships home to 'die'

my worst round yet, but cant complain too much at least I (just) made T100

Damn terrible round for me and coming in at 105th just caps it for me.... but then what can a value player expect when he only holds on to 1k roids for 24 hours total! gal stuck in the doldrums between 40th and 50th all round. Terr fi would probably have been better than the de I chose. I thought the politics of the round really sucked and that contributed to my general gloom about the round, the worst I have played, and a score that, compared to my previous rounds, did not reflect my highest activity level yet.

What a round this was. the first 3 weeks of the round were probably the hardest of my pa career(and Ive played for a long time). My galaxy got incs 2 out of 3 nights for the duration of those weeks(including several triplebookings and numerous doublebookings) and we had had atleast twice as much inc at that point as any other gal in uni. Luckily my gal had a few solid exiles join us early on so we never really lost alot of roids except on the smaller randoms. Overall my gal was great, alot of cool guys(and a girl \o/) and we pulled through when most others would have given up. After the first three weeks we barely had any incs, except for some guys in 5:8 who for some reason desperately tried to roid me numerous times(they naturally failed), so we got the chance to grow and we ended up with a decent enough finish.

As for my planet i spent most of the round just building marauders and corsairs(250k of my thiefs were prodded the last 3 days). I stole some co pods form inactive etds early on and I got most my roids from big co teamups with etds.
I didnt get to attack as much as I would have wanted to as my fleet were tied up ingal for long periods of time due to all the inc at the start, thus my finish this round was not that high.

Was going well till tick 500, then got incs from Asc on a gal raid and never really recovered. Crashing on the last attack didnt bode to well for me either, but i was just so bored a crash could only liven up a dull round.

Only highlight was being the only person to cap roids off voodoo 1/3 thru the round....but it came at a cost of fleet

Anyway, onwards and upwards!

I signed up this round pretty much for JBG and since I've had a hiatus of a few rounds now, the time felt right. The only problem was that I didn't have internet at the time the round started, but my landlord promised me it was right around the corner, since he'd ordered it in April. We're talking early August here, and it was only a few weeks away, so I thought it a safe thing to promise to play and then sign up.

The cable guys arrived on Wednesday evening 18 o'clock. I played this round from my mobile phone, and from various rooftops near my apartment (When the conditions are good, I can take in quite a few public wireless networks from there), and by going to campus when the conditions for wireless were bad. It's only a ten minute walk, but it's no fun in the middle of the night anyway.

Needless to say, I wouldn't have been able to play at all without all the people who helped me picking targets and wasted money sending me sms (<3 Achi, JBG, mz). Thanks a lot guys!

Played more defensively at start going heavy spider and tara knowing i could pump out orbs and recluse if quicker for incs if necessary. My fleet was more determined by my incs (voodoo and Smasher incs meant i was forced to pump out anti FR).
The locusts were a silly mistake as I meant to buy spiders and didnt realise until late and the mantis were there to stop any Cath on Cath DE incs that would be tough to stop with emp alone. By splitting my fleet it originally gave me more options but limited me later on although I think the fact that I had mainly asc targets that I could hit about the 3/4 point meant I struggled to land.
I think one wave from VGN landed on me and asc gave me a good kicking one night which I never recovered (mainly as I knew I would be unable to stop a fleetcatch by asc so I was pretty much grounded for the last 10 days and hoped for an ok finish)
I found Cath a very playable option this round (I was very suprised by the low Cath player count) and perhaps if the political situation had been different I could have ended higher. I could hit most targets using one of my 2 attack fleets with only terran being the tough ones to hit and contrary to other forums posts I dont think Cath was underpowered at all

I was meant to quit at the end of last round and truly intended to then with the talk of this one big round for Asc i signed up about 4 hrs before tickstart!

Unfortunately i was shit, i was inactive and early on when our gal did get heavy incs i pretty much slept through them and have to give big shout out to all of my gal, arc satyr sleepless stif bear etc for saving me god knows how many times when i didnt deserve it and of course my alliance and the godlike JBG!

As Asc pulled away and the incs went down i became more inactive still but hilariously with about 10 days to go i had built up some roids (even though my luck with fakes and attacking in general was hurrendous) and was on for about a t40/30 finish, this with going missing for 4 and 5 days at a time etc

So i crashed badly which prod dropping same tick covered then i went awol again for about 3 days and CBA crashed his entire cr fleet into me, killing 170k or so wraiths i had sitting at base, which was my only moment of care this round and i apologise to anyone i got pissed off at that weekend!

In summary, i was shit, and my planet is testimony to just how easy it is to end t100 nowadays....

Apart from the normal gal raids early round their wasn't anything so bad, then I managed to get vgn/nd/ct incs for over a week solid with the rest of my mainly asc gal. Thanks to robban at this point for sucking up at least 10 waves a night that could have roided me <3 They eventually gave up and we just got some random gal raids the rest of the round.

The last 2 weeks i managed to send maybe 2 def fleets because the amount of incs Asc received just disappeared, so i concentrated on my fr fleet and have pretty much the same fi i did 3 weeks ago minus what i let out on the last day.

Didnt really crash, just a little when some noob xan sent his whole fleet to def my phant + fr pods fake. Spent the round roiding etds mostly with the occasional cath/zik.

Much respect to jbg for running def most nights and my gal for def whoring me when the occasion arised <3

I went random and landed in a crap gal, exiled around for all my res at tick 80 and landed in a good asc gal on the last one I could afford.
IsilX already summoned it up gal wise, terrible terrible tactics to keep hitting our gal because great players just can't be kept down We'd be 15 valuerank/32 roidrank and still get massive inc while some real fatties got left totally alone. Well you see the results of that in the final standings don't you..5/6 asc in gal still ended top100 and dunk only just missed out so gg wasting your time.
Had 8-10 waves on my emp-ass a few times during the round so I was forced to xp whore from early on to keep up. That's okay though, I normally attack big planets anyway so it wasn't a big change in play style, got some dists to make fakes possible and the results were.. better than you could ask for. Got more roids faking co as bs than with my actual bs fleet, people truely suck at covering fakes and that goes vs xan fakes also, so many breps this round were people had 7 mill value def and still got roided by pod only attacks...

I'd fake on any race really, etd was the easiest and I considered building lancers just for that purpose a few times. Only thing that wasn't roidable was fr xans, they were a huge pain to hit for our whole ally so we avoided xan planets for a large part of the round.

Scanned quite alot for extra xp and when the incoming stopped roids came in easily. Went up to 3k but for once a def fleet in gal noobed so I got roided 2nd last day on an attack that was already covered. Def wise I was sending stalwarts in ally but to be fair most my def fleets were sent in gal.
My value never really got going since I stopped building fc's after being sk'ed and spent most of the round below 1k roids, so xp was easier to get for me than most other asc's. Fairly pleased with the end ranking since I'd have done alot better in any other asc gal

Pre-round I'd decided that this was going to be my last hardcore round of leading Ascendancy in any way. As such quite a few people decided to play as well which was nice. My aim was for the most dominant win in PA history (which we probably got pretty close to). On a personal level my whole bp went cr xan. This worked quite well in terms of minimising incs after the first couple of hundred ticks, my two incs were a retal in pt 1077 and a teamup in pt 440. This enabled me to send a lot of def fleets, I've got 80 total, 60 of those being oog ally def fleets. I deffed a lot with my attack fleet as well especially during the week or so when we received a lot of incs.

Xan/zik with feud was really quite strong this round. It meant defending was a lot easier for us straight off the bat. As xans you have to build fi and you've got a def-fleet there that covers 4 classes. At the start of the round I thought revs would be shit but due to the way pa targetting works they'd often remain either unfrozen or unkilled until they were actually able to fire. A mix of the three fighters served me quite well. I think we were the #1 ally for all bar about 20 odd ticks of the round, when CT's emp got them ahead early. Emp sucks really though if you're going to be fighting a war at any point.

At the beginning we worked with rock and tgv a bit and carebears as well (I never spoke to them though). We'd just avoid each other's heavy gals and double-bookings basically. There was never really an alliance that worried me too much, we basically lost roids on two days once we settled down, the first night we got hit by ND/vsn/vgn/ct and the friday a couple of days later (where I was out drinking and nobody DCed). Defence isn't really that hard to do effectively, you just have to think and act quickly and avoid wasting time. The day when they tried fcing us and nothing landed I was sure we'd won. After that it was just wasting time finishing out the round.

Re: Who we were

hmmm so was one of VisioNs top defenders, was Xan with CR+FI, was easy, never got incommings... Just simply def and dc'd alot for vsn... Could attack quite well as well, but hardly needed to just sat on a decent amount of roids all round, was t25 for the main part of round.

From VisioNs point of view, we had defence flying round ALOT, mostly Xans meant loads of fake fleets avaibale, my 1 wraith covered lots of cr incs... with VisioNs big planets Xans means very little incommings tbh...

Was a fun round, ended up being kicked from VisioN for swearing at AndroX on webcam which was quite amusing as was a complete joke. My round ended couple weeks to end when i did my roundly suicide on ElAlan, where i also damaged him quite well

Anyways was a good round.. enjoyed it, props to Ascendancy for the walkover, well played.

Had a few nice crashes, but nothing extraordinary.

We ended up beeing 8 ROCKers in the gal, 4 in bp, 3 extras in the shuffle (one exiled out) and two late joiners. This ensured incs whenever an alliance wanted to roid some ROCKers

Started a few days later due Lowlands (4-day music festival), and when i got back monday, by buddypack was dieing, so we selfexiled. Ended up in 9:8, not the worst galaxy I've been in ;-)

Was glad to pick ETD, with so many xans around it was easy to pick targets, and when i got my BS fleet up, i could roid pretty much each race. I think I landed almost 40 fleets this round, and got me over 4k roids during the entire round. Got some incs, but nothing extreme, till ND and ASC went to war. Got roided a few times pretty hard, but managed to keep my fleet intact, so i had them back pretty soon. almost got annihilated though when i had a pc breakdown, managed to get to a pc when I had massive eta 1 incs due warnings of galmates (thanks guys )
Ended up as phattest ND planet in roids. Last night/day i had 9 waves launched at me (6 by Felagund *waves*), but none landed due some awesome ND defence and 1 fake ingal by Qerr.

All in all not too unhappy with my personal score, but could have done better. Played this game since R1 with some breaks, but this was only my second round I could play hardcore (no inet @ night available while living with my parents), so this was my first t100 finish (last round #113 or something).
Forgot my exact fleet, but it was roughly 125k defender, 350k guardian, 10k broads (miss-click), 35k blades, 100k pala and 125k stals + pods.

Being in a gal with all xan BP going fr/banshee worked like a charm. Claiming the entire gal proved hard for most alliances, as they found it difficult find enough ships of the same class to cover us (mostly FI/co or CR needed)
Once emp planets started to die and the emp fleets falling seriously behind, 4-7 teamups were required to cover one wave. It's about when incs on asc decreased to a grand total of 5 MAX 10/night.

Roiding was a bit of a problem in the end (same as my last round as a xan) when a tiny fleet of 200-300k banshee could make me pull because the roids stolen wouldn't have justified the losses-recall/resend and puttng banshee in fleets for ppl with FA worked.
I considered emp teamup, but didnt go ahead with it after all.

Ive played for most of the round with 300-500k banshee (ended up with 2.5 mil) and 600k Shad/300k ghost (ended with 2m/1m i think) . In the end made 1m phantoms as well, just for the heck of it.

Fairly easy round being in the dominating alliance (for once).
