[21:59:51] * Appocomaster sets mode: +m
[22:00:03] <Appocomaster> Good evening, everyone. According to me, it's 21:00 GMT, so it's about time to start
[22:00:20] <Appocomaster> firstly, thanks for everyone who's here - we've got an amazingly large % of the game here. It's nice to see so many, I'm not sure if we had nearly so many last round
[22:01:00] <Appocomaster> With quite an impressive lead, we have a clear winner this round
[22:01:05] * Appocomaster sets mode: +v [eX]Almeida
[22:01:17] * Appocomaster sets mode: +vv [eX]Caj [1up]Ska
[22:01:41] <Appocomaster> Almedia pulled off a fairly strong win, with Caj and Ska leading the runners up
[22:01:46] <Appocomaster> congratulations to the three of you
[22:01:51] <[eX]Almeida> thank you
[22:01:56] <[1up]Ska> ty
[22:02:11] <Appocomaster> how did you manage to finish 4 million ahead, Almedia?
[22:02:13] <Appocomaster> that's quite a way
[22:02:13] <[eX]Caj> ta
[22:02:45] <[eX]Almeida> hm, i had a great alliance behinde me, a great gal and lots of luck
[22:03:00] <[eX]Almeida> from my first 15 attacks 2 got deffed which gave me quite a head start
[22:03:52] <[eX]Almeida> there's not really much i wanna say apart from some thank yous:
[22:04:28] <[eX]Almeida> a big thank you to eXilition who are giving me a great home since r13, without you this win would not have been possible
[22:04:38] <[eX]Almeida> love you guys
[22:04:47] <Appocomaster> [apparently someone doesn't love me
]
[22:05:04] <[eX]Almeida> then i want to thank my galaxy which was a great place to be in this round
[22:05:26] <[eX]Almeida> special thanks go to caut who spent all his resources early in the game to save me from BS incs <3 you
[22:06:09] <[eX]Almeida> Ska: thank you for beeing a fluffy person in general and supporting me even though u have been a close runner up to #1 all the time
[22:06:28] <[1up]Ska>
[22:07:04] <[eX]Almeida> from non galaxy/ally i want to thank Benneh for cheering me up in PM quite often, Ziw and Bronto for the sexoring in PM
[22:07:39] <[eX]Almeida> if i forgot someone, i am sorry, u know what all the beer did to my brain but same time you know that i wub you
[22:07:49] <Appocomaster> everyone blames the beer
[22:07:53] <[eX]Almeida> ^^
[22:08:26] <Appocomaster> last round it was responsible for a few missing faces, I think
[22:08:46] <Appocomaster> anyway, thank you Almedia :-)
[22:08:54] <Appocomaster> we'll come to Ska in a minute, but Caj managed to squeeze in between the two of you to stop a 1 and 2 of 2:7.
[22:09:03] <[eX]Caj> ;D
[22:09:36] <Appocomaster> you dived in at the last tick, it seems
[22:09:56] <[eX]Caj> spent on a few shippies ;p
[22:09:58] <Appocomaster> congratulations :-)
[22:10:00] <[eX]Caj> ty
[22:10:02] <Appocomaster> yes, you said you gained 1.5 mil score
[22:10:16] <Appocomaster> which is more than the whole of my planet score
[22:10:22] <Appocomaster> 3 times more, in fact
[22:10:29] <Appocomaster> that's a bit depressing, but oh well!
[22:10:33] <[eX]Caj> hehe
[22:10:46] <Appocomaster> you had quite a few roids for a zikonian planet
[22:10:52] <Appocomaster> is there any particular reason why?
[22:11:24] <[eX]Caj> well i like having a income ya know but main reason was excellent alliance behind me
[22:11:35] <[eX]Caj> cuppled with an excellent galaxy as well
[22:11:50] <[eX]Caj> i always like havin da rocks tho
[22:12:32] <Appocomaster> well, they obviously came in useful for all those ships
[22:13:09] <[eX]Caj> yeah definately
[22:13:44] <Appocomaster> are there any thank-yous you'd like to give out to specific players?
[22:14:13] <[eX]Caj> gotta thank all exi for my rank without all brilliant dcs nitina mista pathogen stoom<3 and superdooper scanners like Odi Dead Ops and subzero ,

[22:15:43] <[eX]Caj>
[22:15:47] <[eX]Almeida> [23:14] <[eX]Caj> gotta thank all exi for my rank without all brilliant dcs nitina mista pathogen stoom<3 and superdooper scanners like Odi Dead Ops and subzero , <-- yes i have to agree, scanners rocked and Pathogen pulled fleets out of his ass to cover a fleetcatch attempt on me when i already gave it up
[22:15:53] <[eX]Caj> cataylsyt also
[22:16:02] <[eX]Almeida> and nitina, well crazy DCing as always :P
[22:16:06] <[eX]Caj> all my gal..cant say all ;D
[22:16:21] <[eX]Caj> yeah Almi
[22:16:25] <Appocomaster> well, yes. I think that a lot of the people here are waiting for a mention
[22:16:32] <Appocomaster>
[22:16:50] <[eX]Caj> thx to you Appoco for your time
[22:17:08] <Appocomaster> that's ok. I was on holiday for 3 of the last 4 weeks
[22:17:34] <Appocomaster> In an island off scotland basically in the middle of nowhere. It wasn't totally stressful
[22:18:03] <Appocomaster> anyway :-) moving on, we come last but not least to Ska
[22:18:16] <Appocomaster> Dead_Ops, it's too late, they already thanked you :-)
[22:18:48] <[eX]Caj> scotland <3
[22:19:02] <[1up]Ska> welllllll
[22:19:10] <[1up]Ska> Id ofc like to thank the galaxy, everyone did awesome...and we had lots of newer players do well.
[22:19:10] <[1up]Ska> Raybone saved me with his gigantic dragon fleet more times than I can count.
[22:19:38] <[1up]Ska> and all other other active guys, randal, zokka, mighteh, caut, etc
[22:19:46] <[1up]Ska> and rshih so we had someone to make fun of
[22:19:56] <Appocomaster> it's nice to see that new players are very much involved in the success.
[22:20:03] <[1up]Ska> demonicus too
[22:20:16] <[1up]Ska> idd lots of newer/less experienced/comeback players
[22:20:42] <[1up]Ska> and qerr cant forget him
[22:20:54] <[1up]Ska> also like to thank everyone that stayed in 1up despite the rough round
[22:21:30] <Appocomaster> I do have to ask, did being in the same galaxy as Almedia help?
[22:21:36] <[1up]Ska> sid and the command team, my bg officers bluey, gmufc, arfy etc
[22:21:37] <[1up]Ska> yeah
[22:21:51] <[1up]Ska> though the scariest incommings were the exi ones for the most part
[22:22:12] <Appocomaster> were you more alliance players or galaxy players? [eX]Almeida? At times like that there's obviously conflicts of interest
[22:22:38] <[1up]Ska> we had a pretty good balance I think. We are very loyal to both alliance and each other
[22:22:43] <[1up]Ska> wouldnt you say almi?
[22:23:02] <[eX]Almeida> tbh if u make it clear with the gal from the beginning that one day your ally will attack your gal and u can't def then there won't be any conflicts
[22:23:44] <Appocomaster> the troubles tend to come with arguments about that sort of thing :-)
[22:24:04] <Appocomaster> but the galaxy seems to have done well enough with you as top 3
[22:24:05] <[eX]Almeida> there were almost no problems with that in our gal; we have been a nice team i'd say
[22:24:22] <Appocomaster> glad to hear it
[22:24:24] <[1up]Ska> idd, it worked out very nicely
[22:24:41] <Appocomaster> if you're all finished...? :-)
[22:25:08] <[1up]Ska> final thanks going to the old titans guys taht have stuck with me, the evilempire fellas, and warlock/cypher those who arent around but miss having
[22:25:54] <Appocomaster> :-) thanks and congratulations to you all.
[22:25:55] <[1up]Ska> oh and whoever orangized the def on xcel that allowed me back into top 5
(just kidding guys)
[22:26:06] * Appocomaster sets mode: -vvv [1up]Ska [eX]Almeida [eX]Caj
[22:26:46] <Appocomaster> moving on, 7:5 won with a similar hefty margin. Greenhills managed to sneak in for *another* winning galaxy! It's not fixed, I have checked
[22:26:52] * Appocomaster sets mode: +v [7-5]Jumper[eX]
[22:27:08] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]>
[22:27:09] <Appocomaster> I know you have a speech, but are other members of your galaxy wanting to come and say thanks? :-)
[22:27:25] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> hehe yeah some i think
[22:27:34] * Appocomaster sets mode: +v [7-5]nauti[eX]
[22:27:46] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> I will let jumper pull off the main speech
[22:27:59] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> thx
[22:27:59] * Appocomaster sets mode: +v [eX]Greenhills
[22:28:41] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> Well... first of all thx for a great rnd all
[22:29:13] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> The last 2 weeks was a run for our money at one oint we had our doubts we would win
[22:29:29] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> after lossing elviz things looked bad
[22:29:54] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> But great dcing in gal from my main man trest
[22:30:06] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> made it possible to win after all
[22:30:19] <Appocomaster> did you play more as a galaxy than an alliance then?
[22:30:32] <Appocomaster> 2:7 made it clear their alliances came first
[[22:30:37] <Appocomaster> though they still did well
[22:30:45] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> Welll
[22:30:53] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> I would say yes
[22:31:09] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> After we saw that eX had won we could cool down on ally
[22:31:16] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> and start thinking about our gal
[22:31:27] * aykay has joined #planetarion
[22:31:39] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> gmufc gav it ago
[22:31:53] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> which made us lose alot of roids
[22:32:04] <Appocomaster> you still did very well
[22:32:09] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> If we ever had a fence it was gone right there
[22:32:20] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> Yes.. main reason of that is high activty
[22:32:28] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> And again our US player trest
[22:32:41] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> which made like 200 calls every night
[22:32:45] <Appocomaster> just 1 non EU player?
[22:32:53] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> yes i think so?
[22:32:55] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> seems liek
[22:33:25] <Appocomaster> I wouldn't like his phone bill then
[22:33:29] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> hehe
[22:33:33] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> We also had frad
[22:33:39] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> he´s from canada
[22:33:43] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> fard
[22:33:53] <Appocomaster> so they were key in the galaxy doing so well?
[22:33:54] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> typo _p
[22:34:05] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> the last weeks yes
[22:34:17] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> and the fact that 1:6 made alot of mistakes
[22:34:29] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> gave us quiet a gap
[22:35:11] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> Early rnd it was elviz cbk and I who dced alot.. then it was nauti and snra
[22:35:14] <Appocomaster> when were you sure you were going to win?
[22:35:17] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> and last trest
[22:35:25] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> well
[22:35:33] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> 1 week ago
[22:35:40] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> in tick 90 and something
[22:35:40] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> 5-6 days
[22:35:50] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> cbk said he could smell the victory
[22:35:50] <Appocomaster> 90x? not tick 90?
[22:36:04] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> around tick 90
[22:36:10] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> very early rnd
[22:36:21] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> But i think it was ment as a joke mostly
[22:36:43] <Appocomaster> well, it seemed to be true
[22:36:56] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> yes
[22:37:15] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> Also thx to elviz
[22:37:22] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> u have been great!
[22:37:38] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> This win is dedicated to u
[22:37:44] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> nauti
[22:37:47] <Appocomaster> ok.
[22:37:56] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> Ohh and thx mobrulz..
[22:38:01] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> not gona occupay to much just want to pull off a few things
[22:38:03] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> ur da man
[22:38:05] <[eX]Greenhills> btw, just wanna say, gal: snra, toot, silver^Ace, burkey, elviz, cesation, nauti, jumper, cbk, trest, fast, fard, B-Butcher, jerome, goddy XelNagaTLani, Imkan, and some small fellahs we didnt get a chance to meet
[22:38:24] <[eX]Greenhills> And had a geat bp of cbk, elviz nauti cesarion and snra
[22:38:38] <[eX]Greenhills> And I am glad I was one of those lucky to exile in
[22:38:41] <[eX]Greenhills>
[22:38:47] <Appocomaster> that's 3 in 4 now, isn't it?
[22:38:48] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]>
[22:38:50] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> so am i
[22:38:55] <[eX]Greenhills> No, not in a row
[22:38:57] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> I did like to start off thanking eXilition for their great play this round. Without exi this wouldnt been possible
[22:39:26] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> then 7:5 memberbase was excellent
[22:39:37] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> trest you DA MAN!
[22:39:43] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> his activity during the night is ev0l
[22:39:43] <[eX]Greenhills> Fard does have the exiling record with exiling twice into winnin gal
[22:39:44] <[eX]Greenhills>
[22:39:54] <Appocomaster>
[22:39:59] <Appocomaster> you're all as bad as each other
[22:40:07] <Appocomaster> mentioning exil, they're up next :-)
[22:40:20] <[eX]Greenhills> yeah well, it did cost me 40k each
[22:40:36] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> gmufc and 1up
[22:40:42] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> thank you for the GREAT fight
[22:40:56] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> you guys gave us in the last remineder of this round
[22:41:15] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> remember antigone
[22:41:24] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> yes anti too
[22:41:39] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> cbk
[22:41:48] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> for early game DCING
[22:41:52] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> in gal
[22:41:59] <Appocomaster> ok. Well, I'm going to have to say thanks, as we're running out of time!
[22:42:01] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> 1:6 kinda gave us easy win after anti pulled off a stupid move.
[22:42:22] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> and thank too ALL scanners
[22:42:24] <Appocomaster> I'm sure he won't make the same mistake again
[22:42:25] <[7-5]nauti[eX]> u guys are AMAZING
[22:42:27] <[7-5]nauti[eX]>
[22:42:28] <[7-5]Jumper[eX]> toot for a being there when it counted too
[22:42:34] * Appocomaster sets mode: -vvv+vv [eX]Greenhills [7-5]Jumper[eX] [7-5]nauti[eX] [eX]Kaifux bwtmc
[22:42:44] <Appocomaster> thank you, and congratulations again to 7:5
[22:42:47] <Appocomaster> finally, exil
[22:43:02] <Appocomaster> congratulations on another win
[22:44:12] <[ex]bwtmc> thanks
[22:44:36] <[ex]bwtmc> Kaifux should be here too
[22:44:40] <[eX]Kaifux> .
[22:44:43] <Appocomaster> he is!
[22:44:51] <[eX]Kaifux> thank you appoco
[22:44:51] <Appocomaster> he's probably got a long speech lined up
[22:44:54] <Appocomaster> you're welcome :-)
[22:45:01] <[ex]bwtmc> not at all, we've just been discussing it
[22:45:06] <[eX]Kaifux> you will be surprised (saying that to everyone who mention it)
[22:45:58] <[eX]bwtmc> laptop keyboard :\
[22:46:11] <[eX]bwtmc> yeah it's been a very different round
[22:46:16] <[eX]bwtmc> from our last two
[22:46:17] <Appocomaster> you still won!
[22:47:20] <[eX]bwtmc> we worked pretty hard to give ourselves a solid base to fight with
[22:47:46] <[eX]bwtmc> both pre-round for a long time, to get the members back together, and during it
[22:47:56] <Appocomaster> well, it looks like you succeeded
[22:48:02] <[eX]bwtmc> it's probably worth mentioning a few stats on our round
[22:48:28] <[eX]bwtmc> notably the top hostile alliances, things like that
[22:48:55] <Appocomaster> ok
[22:48:57] <[eX]bwtmc> we had 5000 total incoming fleets (3468 defence calls)
[22:49:19] <[eX]bwtmc> nitina 856, caj 343, mista 261 were superb dcs
[22:49:27] <[eX]bwtmc> and everyone in the alliance has a lot to thank them for
[22:49:36] <[eX]bwtmc> me especially this morning
[22:50:08] <[eX]bwtmc> the DC team was absolutely brilliant throughout the round
[22:50:22] <[eX]bwtmc> we had the odd problem and one tools failure, but it was very solid
[22:50:29] <[eX]bwtmc> 1up were by far the most hostile alliance
[22:50:34] <[eX]bwtmc> 1130 defence calls
[22:50:40] <[eX]bwtmc> that was pretty much all wartime
[22:51:09] <[eX]Kaifux> thank you 1up, honestly
[22:51:16] <Appocomaster> they kept it interesting, I guess?
[22:51:18] <[eX]bwtmc> a lot of the members asked to pnap us afterwards (on being allowed to) and we generally didn't attack much after
[22:51:32] <[eX]Kaifux> Appocomaster: exactly
[22:51:59] <Appocomaster> I'm glad to hear that the universe didn't roll over, then!
[22:52:04] <[eX]bwtmc> they worked hard to try get a win, xVx omen escape subh were all a bit involved in that
[22:52:14] <[eX]Kaifux> hope to see more alliances in the near future fighting the tops more often, than just shooting around
[22:52:24] <Appocomaster> are there any apart from the DCs in particular you'd like to thank? we're about due the tag count
[22:52:52] <Appocomaster> I'm sure you must have quite a list
[22:53:02] <Appocomaster> I know Rikard wants a mention, but I'm afraid I can't give a reason as to why
[22:53:13] <[eX]bwtmc> (not surprisingly the problem for most of the above alliances trying to change the #1 was communication/negotiation, they couldn't find meet each other on good terms)
[22:53:30] <[eX]bwtmc> RIkard just tried to apply for next round with a fake nick
[22:53:37] <Appocomaster> lol
[22:54:12] <[eX]bwtmc> the BC team i'm sure you could tell was very efficient
[22:54:17] <Appocomaster> yes, it seems it
[22:54:35] <[eX]bwtmc> snra would normally do the overall coordination with me
[22:54:52] <[eX]bwtmc> and then the bcs run the attacks, we started off with three battlegroups
[22:54:57] <[eX]bwtmc> but they never seem to last a round
[22:55:16] <[eX]Kaifux> my main thanks goes to odi and the scanning team, all the hc team (mostly snra, nitina - they worked the most this round)
[22:55:26] <[eX]bwtmc> (xVx have got that to work very well)
[22:55:39] <Appocomaster> so I've heard
[22:56:00] <Appocomaster> well, thank you both
[22:56:02] <Appocomaster> :-)
[22:56:06] <[eX]Kaifux> what i would like to encourage is to remember what this game is all about
[22:56:12] <[eX]bwtmc> we had something to say about next round
[22:56:16] <Appocomaster> I'm sure that a few of us appreciated the different layout
[22:56:17] <Appocomaster> ok
[22:56:27] <[eX]Kaifux> WAR
[22:57:27] <Appocomaster> bwtmc?
[22:57:35] <[ToF]Kaifux> hm?
[22:57:40] <[eX]bwtmc> we've found that fighting for alliance tags
[22:57:46] <[eX]bwtmc> really isn't very interesting
[22:57:52] <[eX]bwtmc> the way the game's set at the moment
[22:58:02] <[eX]bwtmc> and at least we've decided that we're going to change the way we play
[22:58:11] <[eX]bwtmc> to try and make it (somewhat) more interesting
[22:58:42] <[eX]bwtmc> ironically, we're plan to do that by not aiming to win at all
[22:58:46] <[eX]Kaifux> sorry Appocomaster, couldn't resist..
[22:58:48] <[eX]bwtmc> *we're planning
[22:58:51] <Appocomaster>
[22:59:10] <[eX]bwtmc> we really want other alliances to do that
[22:59:25] <[eX]bwtmc> invisible walls have decided the last two rounds
[22:59:37] <Appocomaster> what are you planning?
[22:59:46] <[eX]bwtmc> to run a much smaller alliance
[22:59:53] <[eX]bwtmc> with a completely refreshed command
[23:00:03] <[eX]bwtmc> who we'll try to organise before r19
[23:00:39] <[eX]bwtmc> if we achieve anything in that round
[23:00:52] <[eX]bwtmc> we'd want it to be for our own members to have fun
[23:01:21] <Appocomaster> that seems like a worthy target
[23:01:23] <[eX]bwtmc> and to try do our best to get involved only in so far that other alliances get to have some fun
[23:01:25] <[eX]Kaifux> don't forget that it's not just about victory (this has to come the last)
[23:01:36] <[eX]bwtmc> Arfy: actually with the score system now
[23:01:41] <Appocomaster> I'm afraid we've overrun, and we've got the tag count and to congratulate the golden roid planets
[23:01:47] <[eX]bwtmc> you'd be rather fantastic to pull that off
[23:01:51] <Appocomaster> so I'm going to have to cut you short
[23:01:57] <[eX]bwtmc> with a small tag
[23:01:57] <[eX]Kaifux> i'm done
[23:01:58] <[eX]bwtmc> oky
[23:02:00] <[eX]bwtmc> me too
