Hon, thought you were being SS and staying out of diplo

Yeah, Render, pretty sure you grabbed 20-odd planets off little old 30 to get some of those planets

XD

that failed for you completely. don't pretend otherwise

6. Best Wizard opper: ACDC 3225, i never saw action from any other wizzie, i think acdc was the only wizzie using all of his ops all the time.

Someone didn't pay much attention to his recent reports then...

Who Vixin?

c&p'd from the facebook group?

With this i was rank 7, now degraded to 24. Maybe some of you might not know but I am an SS player and saving for 1,5 mil soldiers might be easy when you work with 5 people but not for me. Later he asked me to accept an apology but wtf do you think Render? Oh sorry I just killed everything you had but at least now I have 20 more planets? Take a look at our family rankings.

5 Moons of Saturn (3223) [49,12]  1239 10983933 95305
12 System legends !! (3230) [17,38]  558 3482876 43407

Is this fair? Just because you need 20 more planets and you have PNAP's with all high families you decide to attack nr. 12.

Week 33, 15
Please acept my apologies

We needed those planets

EOR Jump. You didn't have the networth beforehand, so you didn't really lose anything. Apart from the stuff you spent, but that was an investment. With investment comes risk.
Like people say, you should have stationed if you were going to be bothered about losing them. You say about stationing on portalled planets as though it's a problem. Just station on your home planet, a random planet in your core, or just split the stationing between multiple planets. You don't have to station so many that you're left defenceless, just enough that you don't get ran like that.

Bane Elemental, 3226

Still a few ticks left, so these may yet change, but as things stand:

1. Best Leader/Diplomat: Queen, 3225 (Link)

2. Best Attacker: Nanael, 3228 (Parrot)

3. Best Banker: Faceless Void, 3226 (Skizlet/TT) Not the biggest banker by a large margin, but was always able to come up with cash when I needed upkeep or wanted to jump wizzies. Think he's a fairly new player, and this was his first round banking, so well done him. He also did a pretty good job of running infra when we were whoring.

4. Best Resourcer: Airi, 3228 (Sylvarian) Produced more than any other resourcer I know of (although there may be others who did produce more...)

5. Best SS: Don't really know of any, unless Levvi in 3225 is. In which case, him, he's done a good job all through the round, both infra whoring and during this war.

6. Best Wizard opper: According to TT, Mewtwo in 3224 did the most damage to him and Hon, and I've not really seen anything from 25/23's oppers this war. Brander in 3234 did well as well. Don't know how they compare to me though, I've landed over 100 OH this round, as well as all the other ops I've done

7. Best Agent opper: Would I get shouted at if I said Tryme?

8. Most valuable overall player: Render. Once again he's pulled a stomped-on fam back into contention. all the more impressive considering the lack of players he has, and the apparently lack of experience in the fam (aside from him and Yambretta, Midnight is the only other player I recognise)

9. Most underrated player: Sarah Kerrigan, 3228 (SpeedyJerry) I know it's another vote for my alliance, but I'd never played with him before, he arrived at just the right time and stormed it as their main banker. Was always able to help with ops as well, all round good job.

10. Most active: There's been a lot of activity from some players this round, and a lot of inactivity from others who would be expected to be active, so this is a difficult one. From my fam, I'd say either Temp (I swear he just doesnt sleep) or TT - online when I log in in the morning, online when I log out in the evening, and he's the same timezone as me. Outside of my fam, Leevi in 25 has seemed to be pretty active during this war.

11. Biggest noob: I'd have said plenty of candidates here

12. Best first rounder: Don't actually know of any. If I find out about any then I can always edit.

13. Most honorable player: Again, considering the events of this round no one really stands out, but after seeing him play in past rounds, Temp has surprised me. We didn't farm a single fam, despite being in a position to do so a couple of times. No controversy concerning NAPs either this time   (Zan, don't worry about counting this as a vote if you don't want, it's kind of vague)

14. Most dishonorable player: Link for hitting Tryme's fam so hard and refusing to NAP? Tryme for the ops in the run up to war? Smack One for not staying out of the 26/28-23/25 war? None are particularly strong candidate as far as I'm concerned, because I haven't kept up with everything as well as in the past.

15. Favorite forum poster: Link

16. Best Strategy: Our econ strat worked really well after our slow start, but we got complacent and didn't build as much defence as we should have, which showed in our war with 32/29. Don't really know any other strats that were used/can't remember them due to alcohol abuse.

17. Favorite war: Gotta be this war - 26/28 vs 23/25/27. Although it has been frustrating being active on Euro time and not being an attacker.

18. Biggest mistake: Getting complacent for my fam. For 27, I would say going to war with 32. That whole thing seems pretty messy.

19. Biggest surprise: Render's come back? Either that or the fact that we've not lost anywhere near as many planets as I expected in this war

20. Favorite family:

21. Favorite theme: 3225

22. Most honorable family:

23. Most dishonorable family:

24. Most warlike family/player: 26/28, Temp/Parrot. We've hardly had a break from all round - 23, 24, 32/29, 24, 23/25/27. Doesn't win the round, but it keeps you on your toes!

25. Most peaceful family/player: 25/32. The two top fams for most of the round, Napped then PNAPped I think. A war between these two fams would have been epic. Although I think 25 would win because they're more active.

26. Overall rating of the round (1-10): It's been a mixed round. I've been resourcing as pax, so I've stayed small to make ops more effective which made the infra-whoring fairly banal, and the war's have been quite frustrating because lack of spread/speed bonus made retaking/attacking nigh on impossible. However, the opping has been fun, and I've enjoyed playing with everyone in my fam, and will hopefully get to do so again in the future. All in all, I'm going to give the round a 7. Maybe slightly high considering we were tipped to win and didn't, but like I say, I've had fun and have enjoyed the company, and that's more important to me.

I know, but I can't change that now, and when I made the thread I thought they would stay out of it. Maybe that's just because I was drunk?

If you talk nicely to Parrot he'll change it for you

Oh nuts, I forgot about that! It was fun though
Now get your ass in chat X(
