This round i decided to go random and try to exile into a good galaxy early on. Around tick 75 or so, Cardinal had freed up spots in his gal so i tried to exile into there, but i landed in Valle's galaxy instead. This proved to be slightly amusing after someone that was trying to exile into our galaxy ended up in Cardinal's a handful of ticks later.
Life for me in 11:7 was pretty uneventful. I landed early attacks (which i don't usually do), and somehow we avoided incomings. The first night we got attacked a big zik in gal emo-exiled out and our chances at a top 5 galaxy dwindled. I'm not sure if i avoided incomings because Valle was such a better target or because of my fleet composition or luck, but either way he took the brunt of incomings we received.
Thanks for the great round JBG, Ascendancy, Kael, Valle, CaRbone, Pablitem, GhostWKD, Storebo, and others. You guys can stop calling me to defend you for a few weeks, and it was fun being in a galaxy where fleets were grounded and cross defending happened on a regular basis without too many miracles. o/

i started in my usual JBG PACK! we went for lovely DENIAL HATING NAMES! i had a nice start and pretty much never left the t10. We got hit afew times early on by nd never really doing much and after that only a couple more times as a gal. We had our own little fort really.
I nubbed twice costing me 300 and another 120 roids, was an alright round for me. Loved etd. Altho they really arnt overpowered :/
I once again pretty much gave up when asc had won due to not being arsed to roid race my own ally but ended up attacking nightly with BA (<3) clippers + etd fr/de = win. We ended up capping almost every team up and landing and crippling alot of def.

Pretty good round for me. Was going to play a laidback inactive round but since my starting BP was obscenely inactive i decided to exile and ended up in 1:10 which was a asc heavy gal with some guys ive been in galaxy with before(HI BENNEH AND JBG) which made me motivated enough to become more active.
We had a few night of inc early on, and a few nights of huge incs when the asc vs the universe war was in its prime but due to excellent ingal coordination of deffleets we scraped through it relatively unharmed.
I was going to go FR heavy but quickly discovered that that tactic was useless due to etd FR being so good, so i switched to FI and DE which worked fairly well. I capped a decent amount of roids this round, although ingal Mantis def was a great annoyance ofcourse.
Towards the end i decided to escort the small guys in my gal to huge xp gains in order to win top gal, which we did \o/, and i also helped Achi a bit in order for him to perhaps win #1.
Overall i enjoyed this round, although it got a bit boring the last weeks. Especially its always nice to be in gals with good players who know what theyre doing and see that great teamwork can take you places. I meet some cool people ingal this round and hopefully I can play with them again in the future.

Crashed my ships about 3 times. Lost all my DE (tick 100 ish), lost more DE in a gamble, lost 25k Wyvs, because my gf distracted me 5 mins before the tick. lost in the region of 600k value in total.
Didnt really understand the shear fear factor of the TE DE, until the end.

First rnd since r15. Joined ND for the 1st time, had a fun round tbh. Played fairly solidly going for pure DE. Original gal was an asc BP (I was a random) which fell apart and disbanded. I then ended up in 11:6 and had a few weeks with minimal incs. Growing and growing until eventually I think Caj recognised me as a fatty and started trying to hit me In the last two weeks of the round had some fun with Caj and 1:10 coming for me one night as well. Being the def leech I am managed to avoid them all landing.
I've learned a lot and next round will aim for another top 50 or better positions. Still undecided on what ally i'm going to play with. The final day was fairly impressive for me, landed a solo for 870 roid cap and 7K exp. Put top 50 in the bag for me tbh. Gratz to Achi for giving me that target

Re: Who We Were R29

I lost 50k-ish corvettes landing on shazna earlier today, but still not too great obviously. Had great troubles landing my CR-fleet early and mid-round. It started to improve when i stole those cathaar CO so i could use a fi/co fleet. That one landed a lot more than the cr/bs fleet.. In short: worst round since i returned...
edit: shitty html came along

Started as random, selfexiled around tick 73 into 6:1
Was a nice gal, but most people went too much after xp. Midround RageIV (GC) decided to emoquit, and soon after that gal disbanded. After some exiles ended up in 4:2.
Alliance wise was 4:2 more friendly, at it had loads of CT. 6:1 was mainly rock/denial, what for me and newt, the asc guys was not the best place.
Thanks Ascendancy for taking me under your protective wing, and providing me with wakeup calls every morning
Total shiploses: 9k recluse.

Lost 2 ticks of roids when all was hitting asc ^^ and 1 tick when ass stole an awesome ammount of 6(!) roids!
Midround i struggled to land my attacks, but that loosened up when i started attacking with my Cat galmate Notrik's co !
Etd fr/de and cat co must be the most awesome combo attacking with tbh! We didnt recall one fleet for as long we teamed up!!
Overall a good round with great people ingal <3

Exiled into 7:8 after original gal emo quit early on.
Still sad that kb and co. exiled Buly from gal, then again never a dull moment in EDRAMA!
Crashed about 150k value co midround to out of gal mantis and then again 30k value co for xp around 100 ticks later.
Been a fun round all in all.

Buddy pack was good (Light, Atlas, booji, Lesh) we played quite well, but I cant deny our gal was pretty lucky. Afaik we had no great fence but after 3 nights of incs first five days out of protection we had no major gal raids for ages, plenty of p-targets but they just aint the same, this meant my light hand with the exile button paid off as everyone with or without an ally grew.
Things only got interesting about tick 850 when Asc finally hit us, and showed our nubbishness by taking nearly 30% of our roids.... we plead it was a sunday and we got only tiny amounts of oog defence but still, pwned! I then had a week of Achi, solo or with friends trying to get my roids, my gals mantis saved me, every time save the last when I recalled my own fleet deliberately into fleetcatch, hoping that the 2mil+ value loss on both sides which was thus certain would prevent him landing... which it duly did, tho I still dont know if he ever intended to land after he sobered up
I struggled in attacks and would have done terribly if it wasn't for booji's etd emp. But I held on to all the roids I gained as terr de was an unattractive target, and got lucky with a crash giving me 40 mil salvage yesterday!

Went with the guys outta the Lazy BP this round. Fairly quiet round up till mid-round. T600 or so I got ASC/VGN incomings regularily, not sure what I did to piss em off So they manages to keep my roid count at a fairly low level. Then at round end HR joined in on the gang bang and that was the end of it really. Was still on for a T100 finish till I forgot to remove my Widows from my attack fleet when attacking a Xan, and kinda lost 500k value of them that day :s
All in all, on of the more entertaining rounds.

ty to all the small alliances and ct/asc for making what looked on paper like a really bad fence into a pretty good one, given how few incs we had I should have done better... it also made the round rather boring imo!

My first proper value round, and it was enjoyable. Had a big crash 2 outta 3 days around tick 600, lost 230k terran de, and around 1.3mill value, so did well to recover for a top 50 spot. Enjoyed playing value, as I had 136 FC's at the end.
Had a chance of winning around tick 550, due to bonus and roid count, but crash took me out of the game.
Was in the 5:3 gal until i self exiled, after all the Reese/CBA/GC/drama.
But enjoyed the round.
Will definetly be playing for value every round from now.
It's really not that difficult.

First round back playing tick based games for along time, found myself in a very friendly and active BP which taught me all the new things added into the game. I wouldnt of done anywhere near as good as i did this round if it wasnt for Londo/Booji giving me tips on what to build/attack/construct/research and what other people will be doing etc.
Was in the alliance Rock and was fighting for the #1 planet in Rock all round, managed to slip at the end crashing 30k widows on a defence mission and getting roided heavily by CT
Enjoyed my round, loved my galaxy, loved my alliance.. just hope the next round is as fun as this one.
Although, my mouth often got me into trouble.. especially at the end, when talking about my hostiles in #scans, i managed to turn a simple 2fleet attack on me into a 5wave teamup FC. My gal wasnt pleased

Usually I go cath when I'm going scanner, for the fast scans, but this round I went xan for the usability. 81 amps (though I could have had 100+, just hated parting with that much res :/ ) Enjoyed my time in a few galaxies till I exiled into 7:7 where I had an awesome time and where I finished the round. Was with Denial till about a week ago, allianceless since. I would like to thank the galaxy of 2:7 for providing so many wonderful roids to me hehe. Being an attack scanner is fun

Before this planet I had a freebie account trying to exile into 4:7 but after 7 exiles I ended up in 7:8. I lied to Caj that freebie planet wasn't me cause I intend to reset and play for 4:7 cause I promised Sunny/bear/SantaCruz end of R28. I went Fi/Co heavy so that I could teamup with bear and Sunny then started prodding Bs/Cr when i stole Cath CR from idling planets with Buccs. I would say this round was the most boring and easy round for me with little incs due to a strong gal and CT's politics.

Re: Who We Were R29
here we go
my sandmans doesnt work so i cant do things as pretty as others

Size: 2,103 49
Value: 6,274,926 34
Score: 8,011,926 25
XP: 28,950 63
my round started in 3:6
with my leet buddypack, pk vistion yuuzh and gilgalad
we used pks tickplan and all got to 300 roids abouit tick 31
we were number #1 galaxy after the shuffle
at which point we got cronix ingal
soon the exiles started drying up tho, and we got no new good exiles and started dropping in galaxy ranks.
but things were going fine tho and i was still top ten with a few hugies ingal
then, bang tragedy pk crashed and quit.
then bang vistion cancelled a 300k value production order
and quit
and then gilgalad realised he had too much to do in real life and bang quit
about this point we got a couple of good exiles, vamps mac o-0, but my leet bp was annihilated
i decided we would exile as a gal, and we were waiting for the perfect time to do it so we could all get good gals
then it happened
i was on 1900 roids
the 2nd in universe was on 1600
and i wanted to keep my roids and become an uber planet this round
so i went to my hc jdean told him my plans, went to support told them my plans, went to multihunters, told them my plan, everyone said it was fine.
i think someone said to me at that point, worst thing you can do is break the ticker, i beleive i almost did.
i had 300 roids above everyone, but my tt was -3, meaning i couldnt attack or def nearly effectively, and so i needed 40 odd ticks in c200 to finish that off
so tick 451 i jump into c200
tick 453 i get put back in active universe, 2 ticks later im back in c200 cause i never logged in
then the rollback happened people whined, i didnt care
Your best rank is 1 which last occurred in tick 551.
Your worst rank is 838 which last occurred in tick 1
so i stayed in c200 for 100 ticks
and was still number 1
and the universe was whining, and telling me id get roided to the ground and fc if i got out
so i didnt get out
i stayed in there almost 400 more ticks
in that time i got taken out and put in again, i dont even know what happened in these instances
then tick 950 odd i was like if i wanna get a high rank, i need to come out,
so i did
and ct covered my ass <3
until a rock teamup landed on y planet
even tho i recalled three attacks from them without jumps
so i was pissed at their fake landing
and my nick for the rest of the round became furiousomb
then i should have roided buddah, but his defender was willing to crash 130k specs to stop me, oh well that was 250k value gone.
so i could only play the round 1 way at this point, roiding the fatties.
3 lands got me top 25 i might offer
1 on reese, my team was a lil big, 12 million value, so i got minimal roids
but sk her 12 ticks after she left c200
2 dreamz, my wave of 6million value cr/bs was perfect and we killed 1 million defships value got 11k xp for myself and sk dreamz with hiall and figjam
3 my solo attack on light. i faketwatted her landing 800 levs and 160k harps
another 8.5kxp
revenge for rock messing with me
anyway the last day was a disappointment, i feel i could have got top 20 but made a couple of errors in my targets
but fck me am i happy with the result
i actually ended with 160 launches, top 100xp top 100 launches top 100 score
few things id like to say,
thankyou for ct for letting me stay
i was awarded the least active for most stress award
at one point they kicked me from alli chan and thought id never get put back in,
tu for my gal 3:6 for an uber start and yuuzh for playing a big role in helping me get to c200
i beleive vampira cronix yuuzh and i were the ones who voted
tu to 1:9 for letting me hang there for the rest of round and letting me keep some roids
tu for impie for being the 1 person in ct other than cronix to give me vocal support for c200 strat
tu for my teamates, hiall and fig were the most common, but a lot of others from CT gave me their ships to help me attack many times
tu for my top 100 attack list kennny
so my round was kinda easy
roid like a fiend for 450 ticks
earn the income on them for 450 ticks
prod a uber attack fleet, with enough ships to fake the attack fleet a couple of times over
slow prod the rest
hit the huge roid people for xp
release prod final day
(next time i will roid with it)
i recommend anyone to use the c200 strategy
it was a great way to celebrate my birthday without stress
also it allowed me to build value at the critical points of the round
i probably ended the round top 30 tickroids
that really amuses me
and btw, if anyone goes to c200 with as little factores as what i did
do what dreamz did and attack them early, otherwise they will be like me
once my prod was able to be released, no one could really hit me on their own
btw i could solo any XAN in the universe

I attacked with CR and that worked very well. I teamed up with eksero just about every night, he also had zik CR, and we landed just about all the attacks we sent. I built cutlass for def (tons of them!) but no one landed which was disapointing, but oh well. I stole basically nothing all round. On one of my last attacks I picked up 20k mantis, which stopped all xan fakes, so that was a plus.
BP was Kenny, Damo8, Stuhlman and Demo-X. I was random with Kenny and Damo8 the prior round. It was a great BP except for Kenny. He didnt play, at all, until the last couple days of the round (but I was gone for those). The gal was going great until a certain person exiled in and caused a lot of strife for the rest of us. Lesson learned there was, exile any jerk who enters your gal, its just better that way. I spent like 3 days in c200 (big whoop) but as always drama drama. After leaving there I entered 4:6 again with Demo-X so it was nice to end back with someone I started with. And without the certain person in gal things were alot better. It was nice to meet a few other people in the second gal as well.
The alliance side was fun. Denial is full of really great people, and is a really awesome community. You really can't understand it from the outside. While we didn't accomplish our main goal of #1, we had fun and still beat New Dawn. hehe. I love all you guys! (except the fins!)
Anyway...
That was my Round 29. See ya next time! o7

First round as playing zik and it went quite well. I decided to try and go for a more value style of play and that also worked out for the best.
After staying in bed with the girlfriend a HR nub landed on me with xan fi which nearly ended both our rounds at about half way. Luckily salvage payed off quite well allowing me to rebuild 90% of my fleet and with the addition of some hidden ships i had it wasnt too bad. After this i just kept plugging away after the roids, i think i would have done a lot better if i had managed to defend a couple more of the landings on me. For once this round the only ones to hit me were big teamups with de/fr and the odd fi inc, no ter bs or cr from anyone this round.
The plan from the outset was to play zik as i always do with xan and just pick a class and try to stick to it. I chose to go de/fr with corsair as my def ship. It worked out well, my whole fleet flacked itself so i didnt have to worry about incs such as bs/cr as they would need to kill a very large proportion before they would stop the bucc stealing a large chunk of their fleet.
Attacking was hard at the start, although zik seemed to be a slow starter anyway. From my ships you can see i hardly had anyone crash on my ships but it didnt make zik any less playable. Getting my hidden up to 140mill kept the inc away for a good chunk of the end of round =] but teamups were definitely the way forward attacks wise.
I decided on a 5 man ct bp, just so we could rack up some def points in the early stages. myself, d3st, hut, rubber and imperio (top scanner last round #2 this round even when he had no net for a week he did ct raid scans on his phone). We worked well, we had another member of ct exile in but he said we were all fags and exiled out (nice1 mobby) not too fussed about it he got kicked from ally after his bitching about no def even though he crashed his fleet a few hours before. Later on hut decided to leave, dont know how well that worked for him but we ended up with some great exiles in, olata, steven, gladiator all pulled their weight and helped out when we got some big inc.
Overall as a first round as zik and first round as a hc within ct it was decent, still miss xan though... ill be returning to that soon enough.

Lets see... started off in a really inactive gal, exiled out at PT73, ended up in a gal ranked equally bad but didn't have enough resources to exile out straight away which gave CarDinub enough time to convince me to stay, luckily the gal did pretty well in the end
Good thing I didn't listen to him and built BS cos thats where most of my roids & XP came from
I understand why no Etds bothered to build any BS but I wish some of the Ziks had built Clippers early on so that we could have teamed DE up on all those fat Etds
Was a good round for me except for the inactive GC

Re: Who We Were R29
Well firstly, id like to say, thanks for the posts so far, some good reads, keep em coming and to you Reese, i think you are just too selfish, im sorry to say anyways
Size: 2,511 (29(
Value: 7,050,650 (17)
Score: 8,476,850 (16) But i actually finished 15 so t15 heh...
Anyways i started off the round in ASS as head BC with Killerbee respectively, was fun but a tad nuubish, anyway continued there for a while, My BP consisted of a last min thing with green_cat, cr0, exhale and Glowdog, thinking these guys would do well as they had a NAp with CT and VGN were not the most aggresive alliance. Anyways after 2 days witnessing a couple crashes, gal got smashed, got 3 waved roided, hit 150 roids or so, so initiated to 270 or so then landed a couple so was back but i also exiled out into 5:3, Now this gal consisted of Damo and some other guys with some fake nicks, it was fenced to the max. So obviously i did some investigating and was led to believe Reese and Kenny was ingal, who both used 2 fake nicks!!!dropped at t300 then chnaged nicks lol.. was amusing, although reese kept denying it was her was pretty obviously, BTW if your really going to pretend to be a new player etc YOU SHOULD NOT BE GC.... simple. Anyway after a couple phone calls with kenny i decided to play for galaxy. I spent my time deffin ASS and organising attacks with kb, then Uni life kicked off and i had alot of sexy time so was not as active(please NO MUNIN quotes here).... anyways after dealing with puss and csillag for over 450 ticks i decided to leave, after speaking to jesterina asking for the invite that he had previously offered me many rounds ago... all round was t20 basically.
I only recall my galaxy having 1 big attack, from ascendancy and it was all covered ingal (i DC'd it) when i was in ASS. Gal was useless at organising def, too many selfish players, Demontrix was obivously playing 4 reese, damo a bit clueless, Kenny did not login, and reese was so selfish, also i really needed stuhl to cover me 1 time and he REFUSED to recall an attack which fhked me off because i wud of done for him, he a selfish player, VERY... but nevermind, still a good guy, joined me on many big attacks.
After joining Ascendancy i suddenly had to be hardcore, waking up every few hours to send/recall Def which was TIRESOME!!! but anyways JBG ftw, did all DCin in asc pretty much, GJ... Denial tried hitting gal and Asc saved me, the good thing was when all the ptargetting happend, i did not get targetted LOL so i cud 3 fleet def for those couple nights. After this Ascendancy incs died down, some big hits on elviz/shaz etc but hardly any of the amount there SHOULD HAVE BEEN, was pathetic to be quite honest. Ascendancy is great, Cardinal isnt... but seriously, lots of banter, lots of fun, lots of pricks but ya live withit and apparantly it made me more e-cool, also i must point out Kenny HATED the fact i joined asc and always refered to it lol, did he get kicked or something?;p
Basically my ships were FR/DE i built broadswords as well, had ALOT at one point, bad ship BUT i never got cr/bs incs which was kinda suprising... widows and ghosts GREAT for ally def so that was good, ETD was great for ally as well as xan as usual ofc...
Anyways i basically never got incs, deffed alot which i always do. errrm i got roided by some absolute NAAB from 1:10 who crashed all his xan fi on me but still max capped whichw as kinda lame but oh well, i also got roided by Axtera of ND who made a decent t100 finish after gaining 1.5m score off me with 300k co ROFL... reason he capped me was simply because JBG was away that night studyin hahaha, too reliant of JBG!!
Anyways I DID NUUB IT alot.. 2 big crashes. I roided atlas like 5 times this round which was fun but one time i roided him and lost 800k of FR which cost me t10 i think... i then hit someone in 5:2 a big zik withh de and fr not calcing production and lost 400k of FR which i was PISSED about but moved on...
Overall round was fun, was great when reese exiled out and i took over GC, then dem and dim and damo all exiled out, heh D D D... then basically me ellon and alex were only 1s playing for gal with stuhl pretty much grounding fleets p napping the universe while joining a few asc raids... got WAY boring at end when asc clearly had won, but was a good round, managed to roid alot of peeps, lukey,eksero,killerbee! atlas x5 i think lol and some others! but i will settle for t15, best finish yet so was all good, props to ascendancy, jester and JBG
anyways enjoy the read

Reese picked my planetname and we ended up with pirates of the caribbean themed planetnames!
Went for a cr attackfleet with cutlass for allydef, which worked quite well. Started to team up with Reese midround and we landed almost every attack.
Had a couple nice steals, capped 190k etd fr/de in one attack, and ended up with roughly 1.1 mil xan fi, out of which 600k was capped the last day .
Finished researching scans fairly early, and did quite a lot of scans for denial.
Ok round i guess, although CBA beat me with less than 100k score

Well, this was my comback round to planetarion, so I didnt play all that serious and with alot of newbie mistakes.
I joined up with Newdawn and got into a bp with VenoX, Disc, Hellkicker and Nerd. Pretty much a Denial-Newdawn-Audentes-Rock bp. The round started great, massiv threefleeting and good roid gain. Our gal didnt get one galraid until two weeks into the game. But after awhile we figured out that it would be best to disband the bp and exile into randomly galaxies throughout the universe. Its hard to get good exiles This exiling took me into the next chapter.
I landed in 7:8 and we understood quite early that our gal had a chance of winning. The crossdeffing was amazing, good mix of races and equal scorewise. But when ptargetting began on the Denial planets in our galaxy the EDRAMA escalated and one Newdawn member got kicked out, becouse of the issue of not defending Denial planets. Later in the round we usually had weeks without any incs before Asc-CT-Audentes planed on raiding us, and the lot popped into vacmode. Not before the forth day after the planed raid on us they actually manned up and hit us, which was pretty weak in itself. People crashed and stuff (Hi raketman).
Generally this round I had a few pod crashed, played safe and the hugest loss value wise was my 50k spectres. And the salvage gained from that was double. My fleet was mainly heavy on fi, same ratio of phantom/banshees and a few spectres.
In the end I did pretty well considering it was atleast a decade since I played planetarion last time.

Went for terran de pre-round for reasons that are sort of semi-lost to me now. Minimising incs was the main part of it though. If you can avoid being hit and actually contribute to your alliance/galaxy you're going to be a very useful planet. On that note I'd like to point out I beat last round's totals and managed zero alliance def fleets to my planet and no def fleets of any kind since pt 354! I basically didn't play the first ten days or so, with like 3 attack fleets launched then. When I was away in London I didn't get hit though and came back to 300 roids solid income plus mines etc so was t100 value without actually doing anything which sort of helped.
For attacking I hit caths early on and then teamed up a lot more later, usually I try and organise one massively over the top teamup whenever I attacked. People really don't understand the utility of fleets in PA, those massively over the top teamups are pretty much the key to breaking top planets. Defending I'd either def with everything ingal when we got incs on those rare occasions or I'd def with like 80-90% of my gryphons each night.
When I got a bit active after the first week ascendancy was just sort of wandering about not doing much and denial were a good bit out in front of everyone else with people still out of tag to be added (I believe so at least from our intel, and it was pretty much confirmed by their scoregains the first couple of times they were hit). Went to ND who had already been talking with audentes about hitting denial and the three of us hit denial, vgn also joined in with gals on one night. I can't really recall how it went down, I'd say we did something like 7/8 nights of hitting denial, sometimes denial heavy gals, sometimes proprer ptargetting, out of about 10 nights. Denial, rock worked with them as well and possibly ass on some level, mostly hit back at audentes and eventually drove them off. At this point denial/rock hit ND for one night and they backed out of everything which was just ****ing bizzare as we'd literally just about caught them and then you drop out? Anyways I was rather curious as to what'd happen at this point but denial pissed off CT and somehow we were able to just revert back to normal without being hit by denial.
A few days passed by and luckily I got most of the work I had to do for college out of the way and was able to switch to DCing properly. We gained a pretty sick amount of roids in a 3 or 4 day period and then everyone hit us, I think it was ND/denial/vgn/rock. Lost a lot of roids the first couple of nights but mostly on the weaker planets in hostile gals with five plus waves where unfortunately it didn't make a lot of sense for us to defend. My thanks to those guys who stuck with it, pro players one and all. I predicted the block would last four nights before we turned into a hard enough target to turn everyone off, it only lasted three in the end. The last night they did some really retarded shit and loaded up everything on the ascendancy planets in 3.2, where between ND and denial crashing they must have lost like 8 or 9 mil value. Was good fun managing to cover the last wave on elviz and such though.
After that reese told me denial weren't going to hit us anymore and we just switched back to gal raids or whatever. The day beforehand CT told me they'd accept the NAP offer that game had proposed earlier and in the spirit of making things easier we went along with that, and hit denial that night. Some fairly weak shit ensued after things died down with roid racing and planet rank battles and bitterness but that always seems to be the way things go, I was happy enough everyone did their bit when it counted.
Incs went way down and the only thing that bothered me anymore was crashing, a truly retarded amount of people managed to lose a good chunk of their fleet this round. We hit pretty much everyone and everything, quite often with one of either audentes or CT, which everyone is a fan of until it's their galaxy being hit! Watching 5.3 implode was hilarious when we went for them, the 7.8 vac mode move was pretty nifty but it didn't exactly work properly, should have been everyone or nobody in my opinion. I had some pretty entertaining accusations thrown at me later on, mostly from people who didn't know me, that I was using ascendancy to ensure my galaxy won (because y'know that's what I care about after so long in pa!) Our galaxy won anyways, congrats to bread there who did a lot more than me for that. Achi failed at the last in his bid for #1 (remember when I got you to recall off lukey on that first massive wave that went through achi?) but sunny's a good guy and I'm glad he won.
I've tried to write down as much as I remember in order from the round here so if anyone wants to correct or clarify something feel free to do so! Like I do here

Nobody actually cared about your shit galaxy, we knew we could go back and take roids off you whenever.

LOL omb you got pwned badly by like 10k illusions, we all lolled so hard =/ And sorry, i tried to stop them from attacking you, but you pulled launch/recall for second or third time on one of them, and you really don't want to piss off our new HDC cos he might also emocrash, like the first one!

(sorry for dodgy fleet paste, most of its dead now thanks to havoc)
BP'ed with Sunny/bear/SantaCruz/Buddah of whom I only knew bear, who had told me he wasnt really going to play seriously so my expectations for the round were pretty basic and was looking forward to a relaxing reintroduction to PA after having spent 2 rounds away while travelling China. My main reason for joining the BP was that Sleepless had invited me, and I was under the assumption that he was in the bp itself rather than a late startup! Nevertheless all the bper's turned out pretty solid (except bear who as promised was idle as fcuk) We organised afew exiles n got pretty lucky there and with the odd random blessing our gal with cha^ axtera and afew others.
Due to a mostly unintentional fence we didnt get incs for quite awhile, and I was able to grow rapidly and lead the way in roids/value for the majority of the round. However the war with asc was slowly dying out, and with denial caving in I knew my chances of winning had come to a close. After clinging onto the lead for awhile, thanks to some stout DCing from Grog and defending from ND/gal - the attacks got slightly too large and I evolved into a nice xp farm for asc In any case it was a highly enjoyable round with plenty of incs to keep me entertained - one night (set up by my dear friend Caj) with 6 waves of 10-30mil value per wave, 3 alliances and well over 50 hostile fleets on me alone
Asc were great opponents and in the end the best alliance won, im still hoping that some of them will leave and spread to other allys making it a slightly more even contest in the future! (JBG I know you never will, but come DC for me instead!) Definately felt abit of a lost cause during the final weeks where I was intent on attacking asc, something that was exactly what everyone else was avoiding
The last week id pretty much given up on my planet (see crash on valle) and was determined to get my galmate Sunny to #1 by escorting Sunny then recalling and harassing his opponents as much as possible ! Achi was somewhat immune to my meddlings being in an insanely strong gal, yet in the end was very satisfied with Sunny winning!
Anyway highly enjoyable round, congrats to the winners!

I played as scanner so I didn't need to play in a buddypack. I was asked for a buddypack that played for fun and we started the round in 6:2. The galaxy wasn't very active, so people started exiling after a while. I exiled as one of the last as people kept voting against the disband vote.
Ended up in 2:8. Was a galaxy with lots of alliances present, but we still got plenty of incomming. I didn't build any ships till about halfway through the round. I decided to research bank hacking before building ships. This helped me to finish as #1 covops planet.
I had planned to build only destroyers, so I needed only 1 factory. Annihilator advised me to build only harpies and Bs, which I did and which worked rather well.
Having little value roiding went really well at the start. I did solo attacks as long as I had BS and not all my eta research done. I landed well. Around that time I started getting incomming a lot. I didn't have many harpies, so got mostly fi/co incomming. Most of them were defended by my alliance and some by galmates, but I still had 9 people land on me. Despite having a few Caths ingal I NEVER got Mantis defence (except oog once).
I started attacking with my alliance, which gave me lots of landings, but not many big roid gains. I had to use my entire fleet for attacks there (too much value in amps and guards). Having few ships, team-ups didn't give many roids either.
I had 148 amps (2 factories), which were never targetted with SKs. Most of my incomming was fi or co with 2 Fr/De incommings.
IIRC, I lost 0 ships the entire round.
I had a good round, but next round I will build ships earlier.

Started off pretty well, not missing any ticks for protection, and stayed pretty active for about a week. Went BS at first, and did very well until my galaxy fell apart and I began exiling around the universe. Ended up in 10:4 which was the roidfarm of the universe, and never got on IRC. I couldn't hold onto any roids, but late round I started attacking with Asc again and managed quite well teaming up with JBG and raketman. I got most of my score/xp in the last two weeks or so.
Pretty shit round considering I planned to be active, but work simply wouldn't let me. Asc won, so that's all that matters (no thanks to me, however!)

Spent a lot of ticks roiding and beeing roided. Was top 5 on both for the majority of the round, until the end where planet activity dropped a fair bit. "Crashed" the last day when I failed to wake up to save my ships from an inc, but oh well, never a round without crashing some ships!
ROCK did pretty ok initially, but our decision to not join the anticipated gangbang on Denial probably ensued us a lower alliance rank this round.
omb, the sole reason for El_LoBoo and me launching a 10k illu fake on you was that he showed me a jgp of my planet where you had prelaunched an attack on me. So we decided we'd try a fake when we woke up in the morning. Didn't check pa until after the land, so I had a big WTF on my face when I saw the battle report.

Wasn't planning on playing the round but Kenny nagged a few times and I was a bit bored with uni so gave in and late-signed.
Spent a week or two noob roiding, got very fat, was quite relaxing not having to worry too much with a nice active gal to watch my back.
Fell foul of a very clever fake at some point (gg Wakko), lost some roids but survived and got fatter. Carried on noob roiding, lots of sleep, didn't really put much effort in.
At this point (maybe it was later, not sure), over a third of all my attacks had been at the same planet. Was surprised I didn't get closed for farming, especially considering some other slightly retarded MHer decisions later in the round!
Had to drop my production to cover some incoming one night, turned out to be a fake, which was kinda frustrating. I was now in everyone's bash limits which I'd been avoiding till then. Denial hit our gal pretty heavy the next night, some good defending but one wave landed on me.
Got fatter still through some more noob roiding, but also joined in with some Ascendancy attacks. Was about t30 on roids now (about pt800), and very value heavy. My first ever t100 was in sight! Gal mate and similar late sign-up Byrney was still ahead of me thanks to my rather shocking lack of XP.
Started playing a bit more serious now, offering some def ships at night and no more noob roiding. Got my XP up and quickly rocketed through the top100 ranks. Top 50 was now a very high possibility, and started joking with gal mate and Asc player alexis (<3) that I might catch him.
Then I got roided by panick. Gifted him 1k roids and 30k XP. Lots of lulz ensued at my expense in #ascendancy as panick jumped about 400 ranks into the t100, and 1.10 were also able to claim #1 in XP along with everything else.
Gal got a night or two of heavy inc in the last few days which prevented me from attacking for more XP and any remaining chance of catching alexis! Awesome DCing by JBG(<3) and cross-defending with alexis and CBA saved our collective butts.
All in all quite an enjoyable relaxing round.

Re: Who We Were R29
hi!
my planet was
[07:38pm] <caj> !lookup
[07:38pm] <Munin> 7:8:11 (Xan) 'BIRTH' of 'A LEGEND' Score: 11338005 (4) Value: 9404025 (6) Size: 5186 (3) XP: 32233 (35) Idle: 0
!
i had a good round see!
after i emocrashed/left ascendancy tag r27 and went idle, had a stint in ct r28 but cudnt hack it and left pt300 or so, this was my first round back!
I only really wanted to play for ascendancy, not having any real connections anywhere else. I had to nag and almost beg for a invite back, and it wasn't lookin good considering my r27 actions,but benneh gave me a chance and I got back in!
Originally I was going to create a new name and pretend to be someone new haha! but that didn't work having entered ingal with mz and qebab as scanners logged in as caj under P, meh, so! that gal didn't last long, pt92 i was on 70 roids haha! so i spent all my resources exiling around, landed in 7.8 with killerbee as gc and co.
At first looked like a solid value gal, but I knew killerbee, I knew staying here would be hard work when the wars started. But as it happened, due to the bad exile formula, it was impossible for me to exile!
It was good once the gal filled up, we had great cross def and i didnt loose 1 roid in 7.8, for that i have the great ascendancy defence machine to thank, and 7:8:3, primordius for being so idle he never attacked and always had everything home for my last waves when it was getting dodgy!
Ships (5,732,913 total) (Ship Analysis) [Hide]
Phantom 3,096,572 Banshee 2,045,535
Wraith 1 Spirit 50,000
Shadow 170,000 Spectre 250,001
Illusion 120,804
I started as fr at start, but like isilx cudn't really land much of itand got constant fr incs, so i switched while trying to keep a reasonable amount of shadow/spectre for teamups!
due to having both fi+fr at start i cudnt join solo on raids very easily and just watched and waited for etds/zik with frde out to retal, once i started doing this i climbed the ranks effectively, my first solid retal took me top 80 then afew more i was solid top 30.
usually I always play for a top ten planet rank when hardcore, but being my comeback round from emocrashness and stuff tbh i just wanted to finish the round intact, but with being top 30 during tick 500-600 i realised i had a big chance to end top ten!
i got another 2 wicked(i mean wicked) retals, and all of sudden i was top3 roids! ... after capping up to top 3 roids, i didn#t land for 9 days!
but these roids helped me rebuild lost value, and from being top 3 roids on rank100 value, at the end of the 9 days i was up to top 20 value!
If i'd continued to cap during those 9 days might of won the round! but as it is, it's a good finish for me!
been great fun playing with lukeylove, all those times he got inc he always assumed it was me as the BC. but it never was untill said 6 waves split with aud/rock hehe
got back into the swing of things BC'in later in the round, split some gals with aud/rock/ct ! was good to finish my first FULL round since r24.
Xan was great to play, FI was wicked and having afew dist enabled faking.
Must say for next round,plzplzplz lower the fc limit and open it possibility to play for distorters again? that would be sweet!
congrats to sunny for the win! well done lad!
denial: you were crap haha! grow some balls! :< you guys should of kept hitting ascendancy relentlessly after we passed you, you didn't, why not?
Good round, yet got alil boring after ascen had won, and roidracing vs other ascens isn't that much fun when everyones begging for escorts(me included i guess) - pollutes it abit at the end everyone getting abit selfish cuz allie has alrdy won - a challenging alliance race would never allow for this to happen! so let's hope some good allies return or maybe the universe just pacts together vs ascendancy then may be a closer fight!
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Decided to miss the start of the round intentionally, but when I popped back on irc around tick 300 and I could pretty much choose which top gal to join at pt337, the temptation became too big Buddah hazzled me alot to join his gal but in the end I went with carDi and the rest of 5:2 which was at the time the top gal and seemed very active and they had room for my sidekick ElAlan also No bots this round but it was still very easy to roid inactives as a late starter.
After hitting 1k roids I got roided by some horrible solo inc, first sign of the galaxy not exactly being what I hoped for, the xan attacker did get 150k phants prod dropped on his face though. Was at my cargo limit again quite quickly and grew fast, let the prod out to help defend in ally since there was no real point to gaining more roids with xan research being so slow. Then came comedy time as my pods got fleetcaught by vgn/denial because of roiding cr0 together with caj. We had some nights of ND/VGN teaming on our gal and only thanks to asc def we managed to stay somewhat alive as there was not many good things going on in gal. Our local ROCK hc's had gone inactive after being roided and our ND planet got kicked because of landing on a ct planet that had pnap with ND (planet was hiall if anyone cares). We had some big aud planets in gal but they mostly kept to themselfs and defended eachother when we had inc. Crashed my phants vs a xan attacker for the 2nd time, for a small loss this time as opposed to profit the first time.
During the incs some idiot crashed 400k but took a tick of roids with him. Pretty much 3 fleet defended the next 300 ticks which is when war hit big and I became less concerned with my gal/planet and started doing alliance stuff instead. Idling on 1k roids ain't that bad anyway. The war was ending and I made a few ally attacks with ElAlan's help and also attacking a little myself again. Pretty sweet when we got 2/2 waves through on Lukey. Phant crash #3 came against the #1 planet no less as he lost his patience and landed a horrible attack to throw any chance of winning out of the window. Could rebuild 450k of the 500k phants that died and I was stuck in the middle 200's anyway so big /care. However, I got a huge boost a bit later on def with 15mill each salvage from some xan crashing on cba. Got close to top100 in the last few days which it pretty decent when you didn't play for rank all round Sadly the late sign ups in 4:7 beat ElAlan and me by 10.76mill - 10.46mill score so that was abit fail even if they had an easier round Gal had gone completely inactive except for HK and I had to babysit carDi for the last 2 weeks as he was barely online dispite finishing 3rd. Average all in all, think I might go late sign up again next round.

Well then, i like Golan decided i couldn't be arsed starting from the beginning as i was working far too much to commit to a BP, so agreed pretty early on with Cardi that i would be one of his late signups. Golan pretty much covered our gal a few posts above, looked a good gal but unfortunately we were a bit inactive (myself included being inet'less over 12hrs per day). I flew out of the blocks roiding but solo attackers got through on me twice putting me right back down under 400. However over the next week i got myself up over 1600 roids and into t40 total round roids, and with Golan/ascs help i held them for a bit. Then the asc gangbang started and i think i had over 8 waves teamup incs 3 times, pretty much every attacker being higher value than myself, yes Denial/ND etc.. thats how you win/we were going to win!!!11, due to our late signups that you had to hit so hard, nothing to do with the huge amount of t25 planets we had hehe! (roundly whinge there..)
Anyways i stopped attacking for over a week then got involved in organising some big teamups on top planets which bagged me some roids/xp and somehow without doing much all round i was one more good land off of t100, which would have been undeserved but then again had me/Golan signed up to a different gal we would both been t100 certs! So yes next rounds best fenced gal come find us and we will sign up as a couple because we love each other! haha

This was my first round as ND, and my worst round in my last 7 rounds of pa.
My first two weeks sucked for me, couldn't get much roids, neither did i manage to keep what i had. Then i lost my internet connection for 7 hours wich meant i lost all of my co, some fi and spectre thx to xan on xan murder. rebuild it all to fi and started attacking again but really never recovered from the lack of roids my first weeks.
I liked playing for ND, great bunch of people who try to enjoy what they do.
it was the same atmosphere then in HA but with more IRC and more experienced players.
after week 2 i started to have some nice landings wich meant i crawled my way back up to the ranks, but landed poorly the last two weeks to try and go for top 100.
I did end up in a nice gal with active players wich is a plus, sadly enough we were not fenced. 4 CT and 3 ND was not a good fence, but since it were all nice and active players i sticked around. Monroe, villeh, jaric, willd, (t-dub who went MIA after a couple of weeks), Med-Ion, Anakyn. those were kind off the most active players in our gal. was nice of them to let me stick around
had two big salvage gains of people crashing against my xan spectre in the end wich was nice but lost 40k spectre because i didn't recall them on time the last day.
Mantis was the ship to hate for me thinking your clear and then some stupid ship shows up trying to blow away mine without punishment. never crashed on attack tho wich helped me get where i ended (did crash my pods the last day) . i hate that ship even more then recluse who were clearly overpowered.
But i did enjoy my time playing again, so will return next round. hopefully ending with much better score and value.

GC for first time, galaxy had a pretty bad shuffle, with 2 half decent randoms in t36, both cath, with bp containing 3 etd meant we had 12 nights of incs in first 14 out of protection, but after this spurt of activity we didnt have serious galaxy wide incommings 'till asc/ct came for us in final week. when Aud hit us, our aud member was told to leave aud or the galaxy. When nd hit us they were given same choice, they refused to leave ND. I managed to have 1 exiled (Buly) before caj was voted as GC, and for the next few hrs looked like galaxy was going to disband (BP + mystical and mag were going to exile or delete). Only when ND players backed down and agreed to defend any planet so long as it wasnt ND attacking was the situation defused. Galaxy was still clearly top despite exiling 1 top planet, althought i thought 4:7 wld beat us.
the vac mode stunt was my idea, 3 ppl, myself, mag and centronic had rl commitments the next morning and cldnt do anything but run all fleets and risk a FC midday. i saw the vac mode possibility and gave the option to the whole galaxy, finally i knew i was #1 targ due to my roids so sacrificed them and refused def so that maybe we wldnt be simply targed next night. This worked, we didnt get incs for another 3 nights.
That set of incs ensured caj was removed as GC and myself re enstated and thus preventing asc controlling top 3 galaxies... well done o/
