Hello all my dear friends

As I am writing this, I am sitting in an airplane heading for Madrid. Here I will attend a two weeks new employee program for Ernst & Young. As you might understand, I have finished university and am now embarking on a new task, one that actually requires some effort. It is with quite some emotion that I have come to realise that this will likely mean the end of my time in IC. I will ofcoure pop in from time to time to troll the forums and chat up some of my old mates, but I cant see any possibility for me to be able to play complete rounds within the next few years.

I know I am in the company of many others when I say that IC truly has been a large chapter of my life. Spanning over as much as 11 years it is by far my longest lasting and most time-consuming spare time activity. I have had some great times, some annoying times and some sad times. Ups and downs as in rest of life, but I was always filled with new insipration and dedication when a new round was about to start.

I will not be writing an autobiography of my rounds, mostly because i do not have the elephant memory of PP or the grandior delusions of Baratheon, but secondly because in the end they do not matter. What matters, and what makes up IC, is the people that I have shared these 11 years with.
I will therefore make a feeble attempt at listing and writing a small greeting to my most memorable friends here. Once again I must remind you that my memory is not flawless, and if you do feel left out, it is most likely simply because i have made a mistake, you are not forgotten!, please shout out, and I will sincerely apologize for my error and include you!

The list will be written in some semi-chronological order, depending on my memory!

Tbh there should be the "no changing allies" rule, given that we wanna have allies at all tongue.. Imo also it would be alot more interesting with a preset market like we have had before, as it would give a lot more strategic wiggleroom.


And mods dont tell me its not possible, cause with PS it is tongue... c ya after summer tongue

POley: Its always hard to say what strats are good or not, ultimately it has to correndpond with your goals. Imo Income bonus is rather crucial, and i would be very vary to recommend anything less than 30%. Atm im a bit unsure about sciene, ofcourse depends on the length of the round, but it does take alot of time to get and uses up alot of race points unless you are playing as quantam. So i think id recommend something like either pax or quantam and stay defensive, or get 50% income and speed, drop science and go on the offense

I knew that tri was comming for me tongue

Eddard/Luker/Rising

Im abit surprised now to find metrex helping in tongue using my last living tick or so to give him and rising 3 OHs each tongue  I was cutting some corners and hoping my portals would finish in time, needless to say they didnt tongue. I did one thing differently that almost all other players, i waited with exploration until i could use SA, saving up for a jump and overbuilding more than others. It seemed to work out well for me, but in the end it didnt matter much tongue. With my allies being too far away it was not enough presence to deter closer players not to attack me really, and safe to say next time if there ever is one i will be planning to go more agressive with a different race

the 50% income people will have an advantage over the 30% people (partaxes SS races and quantams) a few wardancers might be able to surivve, but i deem anything below 30% income doomed pretty quickly.

After that its really the fighting and the alliances that will decide it

It gets ahrd to compare, but give it 4 days or so until attacks open and we can atleast try to compare within the different races

You play it just alike any other race, but you should try to emphasize to take advantage of the large range of ops and good science
