1. MVP Leader - well gents I think this has to go to Colorado, I can't really call it for #19 as we had about 5 leaders throughout the round due to one thing or another. From what I saw #23 made some wise naps and some good allies
but used this to there advantage at times (especially the cancel on #20 eor after we had ruined there fleet and attackers) as always the fam followed the leader.
although there was a shaky moment early in the round where colo had seemingly given up leadership and disbanded his fleet. This lasted all of about 4 hours however before changing his mind.
2. MVP Attacker - hard to call really, not much damage can be done by these new morale rules and no small fam had an attacker that would step to the plate to take advantage. Open for debate here but I can't see anyone that was particularly outstanding (myself included) however I figure 23 may have someone worthy after there determination to beat back 17 when being near half there size at the time of war.
3. MVP Banker - this has to go to TYMO, Cf banked all round remained top 3 pretty much 90% of the round had cash for the fam near war, kept some for himself to build (but which banker doesn't now days) and since he was out banking a lot of poppers this round still a great achievement.
4. MVP Resourcer - Without a doubt this has to go to Nightwish absolutely bossed the rankings, top in iron endo and oct most the round, didn't need to top the food as we only had the one popper and pretty much sat like a fat cat after expo phase was drawing to a completion. Also had the ratio of research perfected to a resources needs, was able to trade off and swap planets at the drop of a hat this guy is too active to just be a resources but that's how it rolls.
5. MVF Strategist (family #no) - I'm in a pickle here, #19 or #23 23 had a great plan and great direction however 19 had one goal explore and build. With some of the best Eco builders around and great coordination 19 conducted Eco jumps like no other turning over planets early on a scale like no other. Myself and Nightwish working hard between us to build huge amounts of planets in the same tick organising explos timely it worked a dream.... However I just can't shake the determination or the coy move up the ranks 23 had done to gain 2nd place. And to bully 17 in such a fashion being a lot lower in nw they stood their ground and came out on top.
This is how I saw the round there were others that come close but factors such as gameplay
Notable players I felt was in the running
Black eye for banking great job in a small fam
Oedipus resourcing was unstoppable early on but that changed after research builds finished
Waldo tried to lead 22 after the exodus of a fair few decent players but couldn't let some issues lye and inevitably lead to his his fam being killed off by more than just one fam.
Fam 17 on strategy, had a dirty ploy I feel offered alliance but I feel this was a rouse to get a pnap as they never helped lift a finger in any battles we had with fams just seen this as a protection to themselves and try and outrun us to size which slowly failed as they ran out of people to steal from. However the sly ploys they pulled nearly let them get away with it.
