MZ and his hilarious round 22
Some of you may know mz, who has been with ascendancy since r19 as a scanner/cov-ops planet. This round he approached as a dedicated cov-ops planets, the most significant of those 0 roid guys out there. Despite wakey's claims of support planets and other such inane comments mz was actually comfortably on course for his first t100 finish in Planetarion. He has approximately 2 million score currently and has about 3 mil value in production from resource hacking. Now, he had worked out at the start of the round that the round was schedule to last 1176 ticks and had aimed his prod to come out then. However with the downtime we experienced this round it is in fact shorter and his prod is going to come out 2 ticks too late (this is the hilarious bit I referenced in the topic). Unfortunately our lovely admins are far too busy trying to figure out which donations to take off which top planets and so will not speed up his production.
Personally I'd just like to congratulate mz on a round worthy of being played in angels and masturbate a bit over the fact that if we'd really wanted to we all could have done it as well and won. Ascendancy - we're not all bad people

Re: MZ and his hilarious round 22
700 ticks worth of bankhacking every 3-4 ticks down the drain. It's a good thing this is just a game, else I would possibly feel compelled to cry myself to sleep tonight. In the end it was just my own stupid fault. If I had not ordered the last time I did, I would've been in time. I don't blame Ace and Appoco (the people I talked to) for not cancelling it for me, I knew it was a long shot from the get-go. In fact, there would probably have been an outrage if one of them had done it, so they made the right decision.
That said, it still sucks.

Re: MZ and his hilarious round 22
You couldn't, this round was fairly unique in that regard. The +25% stealth for Dict really made a world of difference.

Re: MZ and his hilarious round 22
Damn mz. For a guy who calced almost everything further than anyone else this round, you still forgot to adjust and calc the correct productiontime in the end If i didnt know better, i'd almost think it was intentional O_o Didnt expect that tbh. I'm sorry on your behalf.

Re: MZ and his hilarious round 22
Oh man. When you said you miscalced your last prod, I thought it was just a normal last day prod. That's hilariously awful, well done.

Re: MZ and his hilarious round 22
If you'd pulled it off correctly I'd be ashamed to be in the same alliance as you. Thankfully you screwed it up in true koolkat style

Re: MZ and his hilarious round 22
i did mention this was doable and at first i actually thought this was what the 0 roids cov-op planets were for, to give asc the edge needed on the last day, especially with the no-score limit when joining a t10 alliance, but obviously nobody but mz could be bothered.
good job anyway.

Re: MZ and his hilarious round 22
This is almost as bad as the one time I played a game for an entire year and when the so called endgame, where the winner would be decided, finally started my internet broke down and my army died of starvation.
