Who did something interesting this round?
So being Ascendancy I usually pride myself with being part of an innovative gang of clowns that enjoy a good round of shenanigans. This round we sucked. I think the most interesting thing we did was get a bunch of good late signups, other than that our round was pretty much pure old school boredom.
So far omb (mostly) and Reese (to an extent) top my list of contenders for 'coolest move of the round', though a bunch of Power Rangers wannabes from my alliance have whinged non-stop about how terrible people these two were.
So what haven't I heard about that's cool?

Re: Who did something interesting this round?
One of the main reasons I'm just scanning these days is that I can't find any weird new strategies to amaze people with any more.
I keep having nightmares of CT suddenly coming up with 40m score, 6 ticks before round end. If they pull that off, that'll definitely be very cool.
Other than that, I really can't think of anything.

Re: Who did something interesting this round?
My vote goes to CT for the phenomenal speed with which they jumped onto the fence when the rest of us turned our attention from Denial to Asc.
If they'd joined us (instead of napping Asc) they'd only have had to compete with ND for the #1 spot. The worst that could have happened to them was to finish in 2nd place - which was the best they could expect after agreeing the NAP.
Ah well.

Re: Who did something interesting this round?
He asked for something interesting, not this kind of crap.
And no, except for the c200 thing and a couple of random crashes, there hasn't really been any interesting going on. Although, kind of funny when that gal all went into vac mode when they were getting incs, knowing that they'd only be in it for like 20 ticks.

True - but he did make the mistake of asking in Alliance Discussions.

Re: Who did something interesting this round?
from what I've read on the forum; the innovative use of C200 seems to have been the coolest thing this round, although it seemed to backfire on Reese which was pretty funny shit.

Re: Who did something interesting this round?
I remember looking at the HR vs ASS thing after five days and HR had done pretty well, 5 days of roid losses or so for ASS and HR positive on 3 days out of 5 or something.

Who else was involved? I thought I read a HR post saying they were solo.

Hehe, i love these so called reasons, wich in fact are just poor excuses
KB came to us, practicaly begging us to decleare a war (Where you that sure you were gonna have a walk in the park?) We took KB's hint, and we started fireing, and after that, i've seen to many excuses to even try to count em, but it all breaks down to one fact.
You were all to slow moveing ASSes
Nevertheless, thanks for the fight, i had a blast, the best thing was KB not likeing ASS fleet names, tho half of ASS have had em all round, and face it, an alliance named ASS is bound to have some "funny" fleetnames targeted at them selfs

My bad, (stupid) miswraith talking about xvx on their war announcement.
Perhaps I should read more closely and play more actively.

Re: Who did something interesting this round?
alliance v's alliance, we were fairly evenly matched - no help, apart from ingal def on both our sides, it was interesting, it certainly from our POV kept the end of round inevitable slacking off by players at bay.
