crap round personally for myself, went for xan fi as usual so many sents around it got very difficult to land without a decent sized cath fi escort. Stolen sents made this round sooo difficult for xan fi imo.
we doin pretty well until last few days then got roided senseless, and crashing my whole fi fleet about 6 times this round didnt help

(Not genuinely representative of my round, as I stole 750 roids at near-max-XP on the last day; most of the time I was quite low on XP )
Most of the round I played for value so that I could be useful, even a xand that attacks enough will get through sentinel def sometimes; attacked plenty (80 attack points) but defended even more (133 defence points)
Unfortunately spent 16 days of the round in vac so I lost a lot of time (4-5 days when I was camping and 11-12 days later when I was sick and stuff). Didn't do anything particularly stupid this round outside of recalling all fleets early so I could get into vac quicker; which cost me 12k sentinels, 1k arrows, 1k tzens and about 2-3k DE (something like 700k value in ships I think). \o/
I think I would have enjoyed this round a lot more if I'd been playing as a peon, meaning I could have got a lot more free time and sleep.

Re: who we were
3:4:1 The Intense Pain of Groinal Carpet Burns.
My planet is built essentially on 4 weeks of intense roiding with cathaar cruisers. My tactic was simple - cruisers split in half, topped up in two, so people either thought it was undefendable, or was a fake and attacking with a group that specialised in cruiser pushes.

Started off reasonably well but then my initial gal had 6 or 7 LCH so didnt get covered much
Crashed my fi fleet 3 times due to oversleeping and had a bad landing with my FR fleet once (would have been ok cos i capped spiders if I hadnt crashed my fi 2 hrs previously ) then having a weeks vacation where I stayed out of vacation pretty much sums up my round in respect to my own planet.
Managed to sneak back into the top100 by teaming on big guys after my holiday before ticks stopped

Started reall bad as i didnt even sign up till after 3 days in to the round, then i went away for 2 weeks not long after. When i finally started playing my previously active gal had gone inactive and we just kept dropping in the gal ranks. My gal this round really suffered from not having any 1up in it.
I meself did do pretty ok, landed pretty many attacks, though never on any1 bigger than me, hence the crap xp. Didnt lose any big amounts of fleet, though i was close when 3:7:2 tried to fleetcatch me twice midround with his nasty cr\bs, but i got it covered somehow

I capped over 1k roids on the last day, which makes my XP look better than it was, I was t10 on value for a fair amount of the round, which meant getting XP was a bit of a struggle.
I used Lok's target early on for a couple of nights but found having a co and a cr roiding fleet going every night to be most successful, but not quite as successful as Lok's execution of his though.

My entire round was crap. Weak gals lead to weak defence which lead to no roids. My initial plan was to DE hoard and own xans/caths. I couldn't do it because i had no roids. SO i decided to go BS attack fleet a little before mid round, and it paid off. I simply just sacraficed my roids and went solely for xp. I maximized my BS/CR fleet, meaning I built only BS/CR during the war. I had few resources but they were all into my attack fleet. (had about 1k chims at the time for ally defence). I had no anti co the entire round. I did have poor covereage against it, but between 1up defence, and poorly orgainized solo attacks, I still managed to finish top 25. Overall terran was the best race to be if you always got incoming,as people would send thier 20k co fleet at me and i would just launch 4k bs/cr at them. Towards the end the smart people started attacking me early morning knowing my fleet would be out, but I just adjusted and didn't atatck until I got incoming, as it was a 90% chance that I would get incoming at any given time.

I had a good start and was doing well until about tick 1200~ when LCH fell apart, and 1up noticed me, finally, hehe, pity i woke up 36mins too late otherwise i wouldn't have lost my FR fleet Fi roiding caths was the main target, and it worked pretty well, until they got so many stolen sents, it was near impossbile, even for 400k fi with 8k spids I started using Fr fleet, especially Tzens late on and got some good fi capping, including one reunions whole fi fleet, because his DC sent anti fi...
Anyway, on whole, was good round, shame i couldnt keep up for the whole round

I got off to a great start in the round, untill about three days after protection when i lost my FI fleet in attack, and a few ticks later lost ships that i was using for defence at that time. Then the next day, i got roided \o/. From there, my round went into freefall, compounded by the fact that i have been very busy at uni for the last few months as my degree is becoming at the more serious end.
This was the first round ever that my planet wasnt called Dark Aurora. Many laughs to furball and all those other bastards who have wontonly attacked me to get co-ord lists right at the start of the round. I laugh at all of you 'intel' people . Unfortunately, some unsavoury ruffian published all of Reunion's co-ord lists pretty early on, which wasnt overly helpful. Nevertheless, i was below virtually everyone's bash limit from about the 100th tick, so that was fine .
I focused on being a defwhore as much as i could this round (initing rocks!! [pardon the pun ] ). I reckon i was in the top 5 defenders in Reunion, though towards the end my fleet was pretty hopeless. I lost my FI countless times, and got trashed quite often. Though i would like to thank my galaxymates for minimising the number of times the enemy actually got through - if only i had some roids to protect!! .
As for the future, i think that is less certain. I am becoming more and more busy as time goes by. Indeed, Appoco has had next to zero help with the stats from me this round as i simply havent got around to helping him out. I believe that it will be a similar situation next round, and i wonder whether i am now being held by the apathy and boredom that has gripped so many before me.
I dont think it is likely that i will play R15.
But i do wish the best for all of those who do, and i may be in every now and again to take the piss out of someone at random. If that is you, then you should feel privelidged that i took the time to flame you whilst at the same time feel ashamed that i saw the need .

A pathetic round, marked by fleet suicides, apathy and taking weeks off at a time. I XP whored with about 400k value, only spending resources on the last day. I spent much more time running VGN (holidays ftw) than running my planet, and I know it was the right choice.
Much love to 10:3, especially Gate and Wishmaster

Re: who we were
I finished ~1500, in 1:1:3. I didn't really play much of the round though attacked a few times. Got some nice XP. Went up quite a few places when I adjusted my amps to news scan cheaters for evidence and forgot to put them back down again

Why didnt you just posses their planet and/or look at the logs, instead of 'cheating' .

Oh, come now. You didnt know it was me - merely suspected . And then i told you on IRC after you guessed through a couple of people .
I suppose that's what i deserve for being helpful in those massive pre tick 36 gals where everyone is put there to help out - strange that :\
