1. Best economic player - noir, u held a very impressive lead for a long time (tho i heard u ate an ally )

2. Best attacking player - cenk + remilia scarlet(i dont think they want their names revealed), tho we have had a strategic nap for a long time these two worked as a great team and took out a lot of people.

3. Best opping player - Avatar/gondor without a doubt, helped me to stop snowy from killing me, and kollop's end of round will reflect somewhat on gondor's recent opping spree. (also Rain u seemed to be solid against lohan, considering ur size it was impressive). Gondor also discovered the "delete target empire" op.

4. Most honourable player - Cenk tri? no nap breaking or ally eating.

5. Least honourable player - Ally eaters

6. Best alliance - The burn tri were by far the best as a team, they covered s3 and 4 very well, it's a shame rainin had to quit, otherwise this round would have ended differently i am sure.

7. Best implemented plan - i wasn't in Cenk tri's chat but they killed their opponents efficiently. That or me killing snowy b4 he killed me (thanks matthang).

8. Biggest mistake - first expo batch average 185 while gondor(my ally) had 255, does that count? First few weeks of uni screwed me over a bit as i logged in for maybe 20mins a day just to check systems expo and infrawhore.

9. Most debated topic - ally eating

10. Favourite forum poster - did all SD players together apart from matthang even make up 25% of SD pvc.

11. Best strategy- having a partax in the tri, wasn't done with the exception of pwned tri, but it's such a strong strategy, just imagine the easy FF's combined with OH/mass DI and to the bigger players who jumped fleet, reduce food production wud be a killer lol.

12. Best race (in hindsight) - looking at the current ranks by nw (i am sure they will change by eor and i am focusing on what i think to be the key 3, leaving ops out of this completely)

1     Alan     SS Monkeys     461     5868005 - 50% income/50% research 0% speed, I accidently took attack instead of speed (NOOB! -.- )
2     Nandro     Search     473     5719386 - 40% income/40% research 0% speed
3     Gregor     Bullet in the head     603     5309930 - 50% income/40% research 0% speed
4     BankofEngland     Quantam     624     5281377 - 30% income 70% research 20% speed
5     Cenk     SD-SS     668     5161994 - 50% income/-30% research 100% speed

I think that the ranks speak for themselves, well done cenk (and remilia scarlet right behind in 6th) u show that speed can make up for the lack of research and it certainly helps ur planet count But research is more important i reckon, i don't know about u guys, but i have roughly 20% mili 50% eco 40% con and 10% res and i am pretty sure it is helping support me

13. Favourite player - Kollop, just u left now

14. Bravest player - I reckon he bigs himself up in the forums, but it did look like matthang fought the burn tri a fair bit and i know snowy (his ally) napped them, so it can't have been easy.

15. Special mention - Myself, i picked a 3man theme expecting gondor and my bro to come and follow the theme but i stuck it alone all round and no1 commented I truly am as special as alan.

On a serious note, Noir u did fantastically mate, i think without noir being big and awesome i wudn't have tried to fight with kollop and lohan.

16. Overall rating (1-10) - 7.5 had a really great time this round, thanks to all who played.

i think everyone knows anyway, but he asked me not to say.

broker wasnt in hiding, he just doest talk

5. Least honourable player - The early ally eaters were the ones unbalancing the game the most this round, and im sure there were some nap breaks somewhere, like alan vs snowy etc

That was not a nap break, we were allied and matthang implied that snowy would be breaking alliance on me(i believe he told me because he disapproves of the move snowy was gonna make when he got back from holiday - he also confimed snowy was gonna break ally on me once snowy had died.), and i only cleared snowy from my systems. It was broker/burn tri who took the other 250 planets i believe. I'm not sure it counts as dishonour on my part.

"(also Rain u seemed to be solid against lohan)"

if by rain u mean modzor modzor/yoyo/burn were a tri till modzor lagged behind and was dropped for gregor.

funnily there were barely any tri alliance that were made 1 week within the round that remained intact. however there were many 2s that did stay with their ally

> Noir wrote:

> Well until snowy admits he was gonna break on you, you only have matthangs word and that um, not reliable

well if i wanted to really gain from it i wud have killed him for 300 planets myself, as it was i removed 1 planet from about 12-15  systems and about half of 2 systems so about 35-40 planets. I admit it will have helped me but i think i trust matthang over snowy. And even then i did what i did with the best of intentions.

This is the actuall results so the WINNER IS!!!
