Indeed.

As I said in #mod, sure we can end it early - if EVERYONE in the galaxy agreed.  But even if 1, yes 1, person didn't want it to end early, we won't.  Just cos you've had a shitty round and are giving up, or even if you havn't had a shitty round and still are giving up - there's no cause for ending the round early and wasting other peoples' hard work and time. 

There's still an age left in this round and it'll be played out - a lot of things can still happen.

Oh, I never said starting pop was good.  I'd never do it.  Although I have done it in the past.

Don't play then?

Or stick to your PW.

ICC is a proposed 'competition' where you put together your team and battle it out for the top spot.

The whole thing you guys complaining about it, is the whole thing about it - you've obviously misunderstood.  It isn't meant to be fair by way of picks, or by fully being random.  It's MEANT to be a team you submit and compete - that's the whole purpose of it - it's not a question about drafts or not.  It's a competition.

MW has conflicts?

Probably will have to.

Tbh SD for us is hell of a lot easier.  We just have to reset the galaxy and away you guys go.  ICC Lite is a hell of a lot more work to run.

I just thought I'd do ICC Lite for you guys as it's something unique and fun - a competition type.  But if there's no interest in it - there's no point me wasting my time for it.

What would you like to see as the next IC Competition?!
-----------------------------------------------------------------


Okay, so it's about time we brought another competition-type galaxy smile  But before we make the decision for you, we wanted to get your guys' opinion.

Hence there is now a game-wide Poll for what you would like to see next.  Any of these options, will be played in addition to MilkyWay, Pinwheel and Aquarius Dwarf (ie. you can play in the Competition on top of your current empire).

Here are the options with descriptions - Please read and understand/discuss them before voting through HQ page.  Each person can only vote once.


1)  ICC Lite
--------------
Many of you are familiar with the ICC.  A competition run earlier with drafted fams and heats to see who is the IC champion.  Right now, we are considering making a 'lite' version of it.  These are the details:

- 6 Member Families (Can be VIPs or not).  Essentially you make a fam, nominate a leader and this is your 'team'.
- Members will be placed into their fams at one time.  There will be a registration period where Team leaders submit their teams.
- All teams compete in one galaxy.
- At the end of the round, the top half of the familes (based on size) progress to a 'Finals' Round.
- The Finals round is another round where the top families battle it out.
- Winner is the fam with the most planets at the end of the Finals.
- Winning team will be awarded special forum tags and receive VIPs.


2)  SDSS - Hardcore
------------------------
- 1 man families, no allies.  Kill or be killed in this galaxy to be the best at Self-Sufficient play!
- Hardcore rules apply (no morale limit, no blowing up planets etc)
- Winner will be awarded a special forum tag and receive a VIP.


3)  SDSS - Non-Hardcore
-----------------------------
- 1 man families, no allies.  Kill or be killed in this galaxy to be the best at Self-Sufficient play!
- Normal rules (ie, morale limit, attacking limits etc)
- Winner will be awarded a special forum tag and receive a VIP.


4)  SD4Man - Hardcore
---------------------------
- 4 man families, no allies.  Small family competition to see which 4 man team is the best!
- Hardcore rules apply (no morale limit, no blowing up planets etc)
- Winning team will be awarded special forum tags and receive VIPs.


5)  SD4Man - Non-Hardcore
--------------------------------
- 4 man families, no allies.  Small family competition to see which 4 man team is the best!
- Normal rules (ie, morale limit, attacking limits etc)
- Winning team will be awarded special forum tags and receive VIPs.


NB:  For the SD (Saggitarus Dwarf) options, normal VIP/nonVIP rules will apply.  Only the ICC will have the ability for people to be placed into their Team.

"But you have to admit 3408 is sorta far ahead of you now, even their poppers that only started building LQs under a week ago"

Doesn't really apply because of the reasons you mentioned yourself:

"its always hard to tell what is the best strategy since some are implemented better while others had more fighting etc."


Nandro's fam sacrificed Eco to eliminate a threat in another fam by raiding them early.  That stunts their growth obviously.  Don't forget they were completely owning everyones fam in Eco before that and the rest of the gal was far behind.

So yea, there's just so many factors that affect stuff for best growth - especially activity.

I'd have to see it to believe it tongue

Ya, just chilling big_smile

2 rounds in a row attacking and leading (and winning big_smile) - has me drained tongue ...there was a reason why I stopped attacking for a while - and the previous 2 rounds has reminded me of that tongue

Weren't you in the same fam this round?
