Not much to be said really. There are 5-7 people in this fam more than capable of leading and running infra. Not to mention the fact that we've got impressive activity out of some people who aren't normally this active (i.e. the mods). This means stuff is ALWAYS being accomplished. We haven't all seen eye to eye...there has been friction at times, but we're all mature enough to...y'know...not vmode or delete or anything like that

And just for the record, no mod powers have been abused.

Biggest mistake of the round was made by them when they half-assed their war/raid on 38. They have recovered and had quite the round, and had they not had their infra essentially halved by 38, they would probably be fighting for the win right now. Great fam, could have been SO much greater. And for the record, a more diligent approach COULD have won the war (or at least a more favourable outcome) with 38. Currently smacking 30.

Total bull[poop] what happened to them. Make no mistake. Our attackers may have had them outresearched, but they had us outsaved and (if I"m not mistaken) had more shares. It would have been a very even fight with 38, but as we all know it was not to be. I feel for this fam, particularly for Remo who did a fantastic job in his first round as leader. Stan vmoded with their saves, which started a chest thumping battle between WS and glue that ultimately resulted in WS deleting. Not fair, these guys deserved better, especially after recovering so well from their early round raid/war.

Quietly putting up a very good round through the use of diplomacy. When they've fought, they've fought on their terms, and they've avoided the unfavourable conflicts. That's the way to succeed in this game (take notes boys and girls!). The often criticized IC Death has done a good job of being likable, to the point where nobody appears to "want vengeance".  Good round, especially considering Death appears to be the only *major* attacker in the fam.

Never recovered from an early round smacking from 30. Through my own encounters with 41, I know that they were extremely diligent about keeping their side of the map clean of intruders, to the point where we had to stop exploring in their direction. (That's lesson 2 on how to do it kids!). I'm not entirely sure about what happened with the 30 war, I know they started with a raid, and then got smacked. Cloud then deleted, and that was that. *shrugs* If there are any more details that you want IC to know about with your fam, fill us in!

These guys had a good round, but could do with a lesson from IC Death in how not to attract the attention of the bigger fams. I think at one point in negotiations with us they actually demanded a NAP with like a 100 system core or something (I could be wrong about that) . They also took some resourcer planets while we were at war with 33. This isn't to say that smaller fams should play scared. Just to say there is a way of remaining likable while doing it. 36 came off as arrogant  many times this round, and it wound up getting them smacked by multiple fams at the same time. Other than that, great round, and diligent attackers.

These guys started off REALLY well, but kind of fell back once the e-phase ended. Not sure what happened, I only know that they were the victims of some "shrewd diplomacy" from 35. That's about all I can reasonably say about them. Did a good job of earning a NAP with equal and fair terms from us. Fill me in on what happened with the rest of your round, Tobes!

Baratheon's fam, but he appears to have deleted. Who cares why. Good job in overcoming the biggest cancer possible in the game.  The worst thing about Baratheon is the fact that by the time you can really afford to waste your resources pwning him, your fam is usually out of NW range to do so. I seem to remember some nonsense about breaking a CF with 40 at some point, and I remember Artic getting awfully chirpy with 34 too. Pretty good round altogether considering y'know...Baratheon and Artic were in the fam.

Victim of some strange and poor leadership decisions. I mean seriously..."Oh you're gonna attack us huh? Well I'll just demolish all my infra! What do you think about THAT?". Rogued his entire fam for not doing the same, when his fam was in perfectly good position to retake/clear us from their core. Got lazy in clearing the intruders, and so it was a painful and big fall from grace for these guys. And for the record...If you're GIVING your planets away, expect people to take them.
