Started out really well, t100 or just outside of it for a fair while before crashing my ghosts a couple times (it's just what I do) and getting roided pretty hard. Managed some good xp lands (landing a solo fake on Hanzi the tick before we nuked his vipers, then also landed that tick) and focused on that until late in the round when the teamups were 19381298739 people all bigger than me, and capping 10 roids just wasn't worth my time.

Got roided two waves this morning for almost 400 roids, as I was three fleet defending Reese.

As i spent the start of round on vacation, then i started playing a week+ later. At start i planned to late signup, but JBG promised to punch me in face if i do that. So i signed up my planet and went on vacation
As usualy people don't like idle planets in their gals, so i got exiled. When i got back i ended in the gal what was ranked last! Exiled around a bit (3-4 times) and ended in 9.7 (That's how i punished JBG!). After that raided small planets, got roided, stole galfund, and got more roids back!

I had possibly the best start Ive ever had, good bp, first time as xan post pax, was 10th at about t500 then elviz/mix landed on me on the first day of the Asc/App war cost me 250k value and them a lot more, due to defending I didnt really get my roids back so struggled to recover, things got worse as I was one of the wave who made that rather nasty landing on theking for yet more value lost. Thus I only really recovered postwar and even that I damaged by miscalcing a defence in the last few days, which cost booji a t10 spot

EDIT: taking next round off, possibly back after Xmas.

Buddy pack with Ricoshay, Londo, Buddah, Light and I. Londo and i were displacing SantaCruz which was probably not the best idea as I dont think he forgave us (I wonder whether it contributed to vsn being on app's side!) While we were always an solid galaxy I would not say we were a top quality gal, we were ranked around 20th for the first week. After which we began to pick up moving into the T10. We also through exiles became an asc 'fortress' with mystery and Confaria exiling in (joining jer who was random). This did not go down too well with light and buddah.

Not surprisingly we were the first gal roided when the war broke out, with light constantly complaining that we did not get enough of the avaliable asc def! Nonetheless after this we did not get hit much overall during the fighting, and our non asc members were not hit at all, leaving us in a good position with a high roid rank 2nd/3rd by this time. Unfortunatly we were a bit too nubish to capitalise on this by building value so never quite managed to live up to our own expectations. Landing on TheKing was my own contribution to this value loss as I lost more than 250k value on that attack for only 90 roids - the worst loss of anyone on the attack, so not a good rate of return, we did however slaughter the defenders and end TheKings chance of #1.

Once asc had won (I think app gave up too quickly and easily, we started off much further behind them than they were behind us when they gave up) I managed to get roiding, an unusual occurrance from me as I usually play very defensively, I got up to 6th in roid rank in the uni before being roided 53 ticks from the end. I have to admit to still being surprised that 10 10 was the target of the large attack on tuesday after the taking down of benneh and attack on 9:7 on monday. 10 2 had 50% more roids in asc planets, while 9 6 was the obvious competitor for top gal. Anyhow I managed to frell up and not get enough ghosts to defend myself against a fi/co wave, so ending my T10 chances and dropping from 8th to ~18th. Not helped by the only crasher on me that day being a fleet of all peacekeepers so they caused damage as they were taken out rather than giving me precious salvage!

Anyhow, most proud of - being top asc defender
least proud of - being roided on the first night by failing to realise that pods are tougher than avengers this round

big thanks to all in 10 10, particularly rico, buddah, londo
And to everyone in asc, particularly JBG, turtle, theam

Edit: is there something about asc ppl and this thread, 5 posts, all asc

I had a pretty easy round as a late signup. Joined a 12.8, a reasonable galaxy (after Ricoshay rejected me from my first choice!). Mainly attacked due to not finishing ETA-4 until about 10 days before the end, which made me pretty useless for def. Think I got woken up three times this round total (twice when I got inc). Annoyed that the only tick I got roided would have easily been covered had I not been half asleep. Finished highest rank late signup so pleased overall. Pretty good result. Worst mistake was probably exiling out of 5:1 at 336.

Most important element of my round though was to beat Game (whom I had a bet with). Even with approx 600k value in donations and attacks escorted, he did what he does best. Came second. Awesome. **** yeah.

Pretty boring round in a pretty relaxed gal with a fairly shit fleet for roiding

[[JungleMuffin]]

Got asked to BP de_gekste/zavva/Brain/Dealer/Mano, but said not. I wanted to play without the responsibility of holding a gal together, so random it was. Tick 37? rolls around, i join gal chan, and guess who's gal i landed in xD

I had also intended to play Xan this round, but for some reason ended up Etd. Was spewing at tick start, as i always make a point of re checking ive changed race back after startup. Anyways, once shuffle came around, and i ended up in the same gal i said no to a few days before, i was pretty sure the PA gods where taking the piss.

Sounds kind of lame, but im quite open minded about some things, and im pretty sure fate/call it what you will, had a hand in where and what i played this round

Anyways, right out of shuffle, the gal was looking good, #1 value were t5 val almost the entire round i believe. Bar the typical solo/retals/light waves, which we where very good at dealing with, things stayed pretty quiet untill late round when JBG was whoring his little heart out trying to get support to hit us. Eventually Asc/Evo teamed on us, splitting waves on each planet. We came out of it pretty well, only losing 2500 roids or so over 3 waves, which from 2 of the top 3 allies, is pretty good. In the end, minimal losses from that night is probably what got us #1. Had a few more nights of pretty reasonable inc, but not really much to write home about.

Personally, i didnt start off too bad. Chose FI early, which turned out to be pretty tough to land with bar the first 2 nights or so. Once i hit BS at pt150 or so, things got alot easier, could usually consistently cap some reasonable roids, which is all u can hope for really. Come late round, i realised i was in with a chance for the planet win, so basically decided to spend up and have a crack. In hindsight, i think i peaked too early. Was #2 and about 1k roids up on Reese with 10 days to go. Was looking in good shape but at this point Asc had seen enough, and started to putting some reasonable fleets on me, which to be honest, was only a matter of time. Was still in with a chance after losing only 1 wave, but then they came back with Evo and finished the job off.

Glad as hell the rounds over, i still think its 1-2 weeks too long. Probably going to retire from PA, might play a scan planet some time, who knows, maybe ill change nick and come back in a few rounds time

Anyways, had fun playing against many of you over the years, maybe itll happen again some time. Good luck with your future rounds, and if theres any advice i can give to someone starting out in the game, be active and launch like a mother f*cker

A good round for me: exiled the last night into a good gal with henrik, cronix, Tronick, jelle, C0w, Side and Jumper and stayed there til end of round.
Night coverage was good and so we managed to cover the incs on the 1st days. and stayed there til end of round. At some point, we had thoughts of getting in t10, but some crashes took us off from there.
Went Etd and that was a very good decision. Self-covering was nice but attacks, on the 1st 2-3 days was hard. Asa i got BS, things went different. Made some good landings (managed to stay top 100 til gal was crashed by Asc, right after p3nguins failed to roid us). After the crashes of galmates and allymates, went a bit emo and inactive( didn't attacked the last week, for instance).

As attack strategy, went for Etd BS and took some risks landing fabulous fake BS . Even landed 2 fake BS on same gal on one attack.

I wasted all my resources in exiling, exiled into the Ministry galaxy with BlueArmy, Theam, anders, ElAlan (who quit) and Linkie, had a horrible start of not doing anything for the first three weeks, never got incomings and finished kinda strong. We had Gzambo as an exile and Hosie and shazna as late starters. My fleet was made for a lot of faking and I ended up with ~50 distorters.

Didn't do much, which was okay. Usually only launched on team attacks since I didn't have much time to check stuff during weekdays. Got awesomely bored after war was won, and tried to escort BENNEH until he got gutted.

Exiled into 9:7 at first attempt. I've started to become pretty awesome at shuffling and exiling.

pretty boring on that front but i enjoyed it

failed to enter top20, also due to the fact tezuro didnt want to let me land for free
however i made the race for topspot interesting again with my crash 600k value (but 100k score gain thx to XP)
i accept payment in any form (me eyes Reese)

Probably my most enjoyable round gamewise in a long time. I was graciously exiled (on my bill) by my shuffle gal, and on my first self-exile after that landed in the only galaxy I wanted to exile into, 9:7. If only JBG had followed my advice and always exiled the (non-covopping) cath we could've been a pure Ascendancy galaxy

I raced up the covops tree and started reshacking as soon as possible. The original idea was to reshack and build a solid defwhore fleet. I realized just too late that a) a defwhore fleet is pointless in a gal that is almost never going to get incoming (almost pure Xan gal), b) a solid fleet is incompatible with reshacking. The better plan was to reshack loads and donate it to the galfund, where it could be donated out again to our exiles and late signups. We catapulted 3 players (olata, bread and game) into the top100 this way. I ended up having donated more than 300m resources to the galfund (most of which was spent by Feudalism players, extra bonus!), meaning that my contribution to Ascendancy counting score this round is that of a top100 planet, better than I've managed in quite a while.

Towards the end of the round I farmed 1:1 bots and easy roids with pod fleets until I was top10 on size and mining ludicrous amounts while unhittable by any fleet with enough value to mount a serious attack on me (go retarded bash limit!). At one point I was donating resources faster than we could get it back out of the galfund. I was about to start building a real fleet when the big attack on 9:7 to get to BENNEH took a sizable chunk of my roids.

I also heroically noobed my only successful XP escort by not having enough pods to maxcap.

Bped with toot, benneh, achi and lok. Lok failed to enter the bp code after resetting to get all the quest stuff and despite us asking pateam literally 3 minutes after the shuffle ended they refused to move him in (customer service ++). Unfortunately I was the only one of the actual bp who got his r/p wrong, congrats to evo for playing the whole round!

We went all xan cr/ghost/pk obviously and it helped minimise random incs. I think we got raided twice at the start of the round losing very few roids. Got hit by nd/dlr then one night and vsn/apprime twice before we got hit by everyone with 4 days left in the round or whatever it was. Gal was great though, pity bread went off to thailand with 3 weeks to go and lok was so staggeringly inactive. We had jester cov-opping and donating out res to the asc planets ingal for most of the round which led to some nice value boosts on the xans. Benneh had a solid chance of #1 planet but unfortunately 230 odd fleets over 6 waves or whatever it was pretty much ended that.

On an alliance related note I was slightly surprised how this round turned out. I expected apprime to stick in there far longer and despite cardi's protestations about how they were never really going for #1 you expect something more. Their attacks were good though, better coverage than most allies who hit us, although obviously having your fleets massively focused on roiding ascendancy planets helps here and correspondingly makes you more vulnerable to other incoming. I felt that the fact we were able to get through on apprime launching at any time of the day was a key morale factor, it was certainly hurting us the other way round with co incs until we started building sentinels.

Our strategy helped a lot though in avoiding random incs, although it was really painful if we got another gal raided at the same time app/vsn were hitting us. Credit to p3nguins who helped us early on, maybe 3 nights I can't remember exactly, when app/vsn were hitting us, and evo who attacked with us on 2 nights during the war. Was an okay round overall, good team ethic during the war and less emo than normal once we'd won. Although I expect nothing less it's still worth noting that benneh 3 fleet deffed reese on the last night of the round, a situation I doubt you'd see that often elsewhere. Congratulations to reese as well, I always think it's better to see winning planet/gal stuff as belonging to someone who has been through a war or otherwise suffered some disadvantage.

On the note of 5.1 I'd like to clarify a few things, especially seeing as I get people like JM pming me during the eorc demanding I give him credit right after he had his emorage just before me. You didn't get ascendancy incs early on because I had an understanding with cardi, which he broke like the honest lithuanian he is, to avoid each other's heavy gals. 3 apprime, and later 4, meant this included your gal. Once the war started there were easier and better targets if we wanted to hit apprime. That's why you didn't get hit until after the war was over.

Eventually Asc/Evo teamed on us, splitting waves on each planet. We came out of it pretty well, only losing 2500 roids or so over 3 waves, which from 2 of the top 3 allies, is pretty good. In the end, minimal losses from that night is probably what got us #1. Had a few more nights of pretty reasonable inc, but not really much to write home about.

Almost everything you say here is wrong. Evo managed about 15 fleets that first time, I know because evo HC pmed me that night to apologise for how poor their coverage was. There was only one more night of real inc, where you lost 4500 roids, about 5/6 days later. What you got your gal #1 was not getting incoming from ascendancy, for the reasons I outlined above, and your own gal's ability at gaining roids while crashing minimal amounts of value throughout the rest of the round. I'm not trying to take away the fact you ended #1 here, ranks are ranks and you always get the rank you deserve in the end, but the reasons for it were politics and your attacking activity, not awesome ingal dcing on the 2 occasions you got incoming heh.

I first started out in a gal that got hammered badly first week, seeing most weren't online when it was needed i exiled out and landed in 10:7.
Good gal with all good players and absolutely no incoming at all so made life somewhat easier. All good players, and top 3 of gals i have ever been in. theodb Hut Balamutas Stylez Byrney jerven JDD Donar Grog Saaremm ftz budious Disc

Started in EC this round after Hidden Agenda disbanded last round. I'll always wonder why i didn't look harder. Most HC were Idle, except for two. one really didn't know what he was doing (not naming names) and the other one tried but EC core was really inactive except for about 4 people. Def sucked big time, then the merge happened with destiny. atleast there was some activity from former destiny HC so things were looking better for a while. But then in all their "wisdom" some 15 former EC HC and members decided it wasn't their alliance anymore and wanted to play inactive somewhere else. everyone they left behind felt somewhat betrayed so most looked on for another ally.

Luckily DLR picked me up being in 10:7 and must admit, never been in a better ally. no whining or elite players trying to leech def just everyone attacking/defending and helping out.
Thanks to JDD and Grog for making my round not a total loss.

i chose Xan cruisers to attack with but guardians/peacekeepers/tarantulas made it difficult to land on targets. fi/co i used mostly for def. Seeing i didn't attack half the round i feel it was still a good score in the end.

Some asshole convinced me to have a planet with ships. I spent the first 400 ticks exiling around before I got into 11:9. No one I was particularly close to in that galaxy, so my round was pretty boring.

Launched 3 waves on bot planets to build up my roids, second waving planets Tearz launched on, then participated in alliance raids whenever someone wanted to use my ships. Got roided once, was never fat enough. About a third of those Wraiths I got from salvage defending Reese the last night, god, those attacks were horrible. See you next round.

After shuffle landed in a galaxy with MortalP and Hude, t72 and they exiled out (am i really that bad to be around? )
Realised gal was now dead so i exiled around t72-74ish and landed in Reese/eksero/signs et al galaxy.
Noticed galaxy was active and great at x-def early on so stayed and contributed where i could.

Steadily climbed ranks due to being able to avoid lot's of incs with asc and app going after each other.

Should have finished t3 but me and agar3s got incs same night and i lost out slightly. Could have gone for t3 last night but heard Reese was getting incs so decided to forego rank to repay the defence she gave me, i owed the gal a heap!

Played as amp whore scanner, exiled into 3:2 after some time of galaxy hopping. Got ships around tick 400-500. Went for 1:1 bot roids first, added a real BS fleet later and started joining teamups.
Chose ter BS when Asc was still at war with Apprime to be able to def against Ghost/PK attacks and join exactly those attacks on our side.
Ended up with good score and value, considering I only "played" half the round effectively. Lost some hundred roids to a VsN galraid on friday while defending Reese.
Thanks VsN for hitting us instead of our top planet

You say it as if playing politics and attacking activity arent some of the most important aspects to winning this game.

In my experience, stopping an alliance raid on you when you have 40 gal slots + ally def, is far easier than stopping mornining/day raids, when almost all ingal slots are used, and your alliance has no def.

Man, Junglemuffin seems to think he's actually good at this game...

The politics had quite literally nothing to do with your gal. Claiming anything along these lines is outright retarded and completely untrue. Attacking activity wise I am praising your gal. It's not like a collection of the 20 worst ascendancy members this round would have had anywhere near your score regardless of how few incs they got.

And then you go and spoil it all by something utterly retarded like this

Actually, by politics, i meant the politics played by our galaxy members, not our respective alliance HC. Believe it or not, several of our planets had a reasonable say with regards to what decisions their alliances made respectively. Dealer stopped p3n from teaming with other alliances at one point, de_gekste was on reasonable terms with several alliances, and also helped set up the last night attacks.

But really, none if it really matters. Perhaps im overly defensive of my galaxy. I feel as if we havent been treated with the respect, or acknowledged as deserving of a round winning gal, by the majority of Planetarions upper echelon. ( I also think perhaps, unfortunately, some of this is due soley to their opinion of me). Really, it takes away an element of satisfaction and accomplishment, that i feel belongs to us. It feels like some people (im pointing at JBG here btw) arent as good at losing, as they are as winning. Thats disappointing.

Anyways, i guess ive made my view clear on all this, so no reall need to harp on about this. Everyone is entitled to their view on whether or not we where fitting winners.

Anyways, congratulations to Reese, for being the best man all round, and also to Ascendancy, for once again, pulling our respective pants down, and showing us how it really should be done D:

I would have thought you would have been around long enough to know that most of pa rarely thinks that the winners deserve it. And I have got the impression from previous posts of yours that you have acted the same way at least with regard to asc wins in the past.

[JonnyBGood]

<+[5-1]Dealer[p3n> Just for starters I wish to just point out that if you'd like to take a look at our gal banner
<+[5-1]Dealer[p3n> you'll find us listed there with our respective alliances. No sign of Asc anywhere, that's a victory for PA imo....:-D


23:35 <@AppocoEoRC> so, who was the best person in the galaxy?
23:35 <+JungleMuffin> the asc guy who exiled out tick 72

#
23:39 <+[5-1]Dealer[p3n> 1:10 were threatening our position a couple of weeks ago, but once they were put down it became
23:39 <+[5-1]Dealer[p3n> clear that the Asc gals would be the ones looking to overthrow us, but in the words of Julius
23:39 <+[5-1]Dealer[p3n> Caesar's old mate, The Saw, They Came, They Failed to Conquer!


23:44 <+JungleMuffin> we havent had asc in all round
23:44 <+JungleMuffin> they chose not to hit us once solo
23:44 <+JungleMuffin> so as far as im concerned
23:44 <+JungleMuffin> if were too scary to hit solo
23:44 <+JungleMuffin> we deserve it


23:54 <+JBG> two things. firstly congratulations to everyone who went before me, well played etc.

Actually, i think you will find, that whether i like Asc or not, i have usually made a point of congratulating them. I also think i give Asc the credit they deserve, (pervious AD discussions for example,) for being the blatant best that PA currently, possibly previously, has to offer.

To the point where numerous trolls, over the rounds, have accused me of trying to suck hole my way into joining.

Edit: As far as my personal comments, i dont feel they where arrogant in anyway. Dealer had his own view on the situation, which is none of my business.

And while on it...

23:35 <@AppocoEoRC> so, who was the best person in the galaxy?

That comment was somewhat tongue in cheek, as i felt not having an Asc planet ingal, did more for our chances of winning, than having one would have.

Overall, considering how exciteable i can be, i feel reasonably proud of myself with out i handled the ceremony. A lazy "Yeah Baby" at the start, with a quick a rickroll at the end, surely that was a let down on what many people would have expected?

The game is currently a laughing stock. There is no alliance competition (even when u rape asc, they have members who run politics for the contending ally, ie cardi, ergo nullifying any competition,) this will continue untill alliance limits are drastically lowered enough to allow more than 2 allies, 1 being asc, and the other being proxy asc (HAI CARDI AGAIN!) to contend for the round win.

Lower tag limits to 50, and bring in support planet rule, regardless of how dire it is, to allow more than a 1 horse race, such as the prearranged-withoutarrangingagreement to not agree to agree to not agree to not hit each other, or whatever the phuck it was ALLIANCE, such as we saw this round.

Support rule/tag limit. Sort it.

That rather sounded like sore losing at the end of r31. Forgive me if I misinterpreted it at the time.

Yes my son.

Now go and look for the posts where i have praised Asc.

[booji]

yeh, I read most of them at the time, just for good measure I have gone back and reread some of them, and while some of them do have praise in them they tend to be couched with alot of ifs and buts. Though to be fair I am never sure whether you are raging at ascendancy or at the entire pa community.

ps I am excluding what you may have written this past round as I have managed to stay away from the forums for round 33.

pps sometimes the praise is in one post and it seems to be taken back in later posts rather than within the same post

ppps I am not quite sure why we are arguing about this, you seem to be demanding recognition, how much do most top gals get beyond the eorc? I dont remember there being many threads praising the top gal at the end of a round - feel free to correct me, I tent to ignore such things. I simply think we are all hypocritical when it comes to praise for winning, it is natural for most people to lionise their own efforts and seek to belittle others. As such I dont think your gal deserved the win any more than several others would have done... though I dont include mine in this as we were pretty darned inactive for a T5 gal. btw, you have done better than me, I dont think I have ever praised the top player, gal or alliance!

Initiated up to 200 roids and went directly for CR. It was a pretty good start, and after the first landings i got in the top 100, where i stayed around the top50 for a while, landing everything, until Destiny imploded, and we merged with EC. Just the night before the merge i got heavy incs, and had a streak of bad luck while at EC where i couldn't land anything, which pretty much screwed all my chances to keeping a top100 spot. Then EC disbanded and suddenly we were in evolution, i managed to recover through joint attacks with my gal mate, but i never had a chance of getting back in the top 100.
The Xan CR + ghosts was a very strong fleet, but it was awful for defending. Next round i'll definitely go for a race that has a better alliance defending potential.
