<@AppocoEoRC> Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to Round 22's End of Round Ceremony <@AppocoEoRC> Despite a bad start to the round, we're pleased to have produced an extremely competitive round <@AppocoEoRC> with the top spot and top alliance not being decided until the final ticks <@AppocoEoRC> firstly, I'd like to congratulate the top 3 planets for winning These are gWarTh, elviz, and YuC <@AppocoEoRC> unfortunately, elviz is not around to take second place, but we're lucky to have gWarTh and YuC with us tonight! * AppocoEoRC sets mode: +vv [VGN]gWarTh [VGN]YuC <@AppocoEoRC> congrats guys on winning <+[VGN]gWarTh> thanks appoco <+[VGN]YuC> thx <@AppocoEoRC> well, what's your lucky secret? How did you do so well this round? <@AppocoEoRC> was it really as close as it looked at the top? <+[VGN]gWarTh> yes <+[VGN]gWarTh> acutally Star erazor missed top1 one just for 2 faults at the end <@AppocoEoRC> I believe a few others have been unlucky with mistakes at the end <+[VGN]gWarTh> its was a race till last tick <@AppocoEoRC> Did the changes in the game, particularly in construction queuing and the production setup, affect how you played the round? <+[VGN]YuC> not that much <+[VGN]YuC> as we focused on finace centres a lot <+[VGN]YuC> most others went mass facs tho <+[VGN]YuC> think that gave us a good edge in the end <@AppocoEoRC> well, the roids helped I'm sure <+[VGN]YuC> yes they did <+[VGN]YuC> sad for star erazor <@AppocoEoRC> roids seemed to change hands quite frequently at the top. 4:3:7 had quite a few until today <@AppocoEoRC> yeah <@AppocoEoRC> (4:3:7 = star erazor for those that don't know) <@AppocoEoRC> So did you set out to win? Your buddy pack seems to have been pretty dominant in the top ranks <+[VGN]gWarTh> he missed out on lots of salvage today <+[VGN]gWarTh> so actually he should be here too <+[VGN]gWarTh> in gal coverage with 5man bp <+[VGN]gWarTh> was very important this round <@AppocoEoRC> do you like the idea of a 5 man buddy pack compared to previous rounds? <@AppocoEoRC> well, obviously you did I guess <+[VGN]YuC> it is nice as it lessens the powers of alliance a bit <+[VGN]YuC> alliances* <+[VGN]YuC> you have more chances if you go with a good setup <+[VGN]YuC> and nice dedication <+[VGN]YuC> with 5 people <+[VGN]gWarTh> indeed <@AppocoEoRC> where did you gain the most support from during the round? your galaxy or your alliance? <+[VGN]YuC> both <+[VGN]gWarTh> both deffed their part <+[VGN]gWarTh> lots of vengeance def <+[VGN]gWarTh> thx guys :P <@AppocoEoRC> Did you ever worry that you'd end up runners up to elviz? <@AppocoEoRC> he had a very strong round <@AppocoEoRC> and was prety close to you at the end <@AppocoEoRC> Satyr also came close <+[VGN]gWarTh> yes it was very close <+[VGN]gWarTh> and we never were sure wether we get him or not <+[VGN]gWarTh> yes satyr was strong as well <@AppocoEoRC> was it a case of 4:3 vs 2:4 and the top planet being an incidental issue? or were you aiming more for the top planets? <+[VGN]YuC> but the finance centres payed out there <+[VGN]YuC> as we had lots <+[VGN]YuC> our main goal was rank1 gal <+[VGN]YuC> and if we get some top planets as well <+[VGN]YuC> thats nice <+[VGN]YuC> we never really hitted 2:4 <+[VGN]YuC> until the end <+[VGN]YuC> when it was obvious we will win <+[VGN]YuC> with hidden res and the roids <+[VGN]gWarTh> 60 FCs ftw <@AppocoEoRC> and then it was a case of top planet? <+[VGN]gWarTh> yes <+[VGN]YuC> gwarth had the highest chances on end top1 <+[VGN]YuC> above elviz <+[VGN]YuC> so we kinda had to help him with attacking elviz <@AppocoEoRC> you directly attacked each other? <+[VGN]gWarTh> I didnt attack elviz <+[VGN]gWarTh> at least not for real <+[VGN]gWarTh> just one fake wave I did <+[VGN]gWarTh> we knew we were going to outgrow them easily <@AppocoEoRC> 2:4 rather than elviz? <+[VGN]gWarTh> yes <@AppocoEoRC> ok <@AppocoEoRC> did you try and just keep roiding then? * [ND]Basilisk ([email protected]) has joined #planetarion <+[VGN]YuC> at the end we focused on defending very much <+[VGN]YuC> the last ~150 ticks that is <+[VGN]YuC> selling the roids expensive <+[VGN]YuC> as we were heavy on value <+[VGN]YuC> we got some heavy salvage there <+[VGN]gWarTh> TFD was nice today <+[VGN]gWarTh> greets to them! <@AppocoEoRC> lol <@AppocoEoRC> ok <@AppocoEoRC> well, if you don't mind I think i'll voice your galaxy <+[VGN]gWarTh> of course <+[VGN]YuC> thx to all people <+[VGN]YuC> who helped us achieving this <+[VGN]YuC> especially our alliances <+[VGN]YuC> and gôsu <+[VGN]YuC> <+[VGN]YuC> greets to Fenix ofc! <+[VGN]YuC> had to say that :P * AppocoEoRC sets mode: +vvv Razz- [VGN]StAr-ErAzO [gosu]aFu <+[VGN]gWarTh> same from me * AppocoEoRC sets mode: +v [Jen]Zephod * AppocoEoRC sets mode: +v [FC]g3no^Judas <@AppocoEoRC> well, hi guys <+[Jen]Zephod> lo <+[FC]g3no^Judas> hi <@AppocoEoRC> congrats on winning by quite a way <+Razz-> hi <+[VGN]YuC> lo <+[VGN]gWarTh> hi <@AppocoEoRC> so how does it feel? * AppocoEoRC sets mode: +v [TGV]Sagnigius <+[Jen]Zephod> like im allowed to sleep again * isil|shopping is now known as IsildurX <@AppocoEoRC> hehe <@AppocoEoRC> not playing havoc? <+[Jen]Zephod> uh, no <+[Jen]Zephod> i actually did very little towards this as rl got massively in the way <+[Jen]Zephod> have to say that the bpack activity in the gal was exceptional some nights <+Razz-> yes indeed <+[TGV]Sagnigius> they did alot of ingal dcing as well <@AppocoEoRC> was it generally a tough battle to become #1? you won by a clear 10 mil <+[Jen]Zephod> was tough until a point <+[VGN]gWarTh> it was a tough competition until we were big enough <+[VGN]gWarTh> that alliances were scared <+[VGN]gWarTh> or fighting alliance wars <+[VGN]gWarTh> and hitting us was often very unprofitable <@AppocoEoRC> so the alliance wars helped a lot? <+[VGN]gWarTh> as we did amazing in def <+[VGN]gWarTh> thanks to AgOnY <+[gosu]star> yea godlike dc agony ! <+Razz-> thanks to agony from here too <+[Jen]Zephod> idd <+Razz-> he PAmailed me where to send def when I was at work playing with my cell phone <+[Jen]Zephod> there were a fair few nights when massive amounts of incs were largely covered through a mix of alliance and galaxy defence <@AppocoEoRC> did you have some sort of plan to make sure night incs were discovered and sorted? <+[TGV]Sagnigius> someone was always around and reporting them <+[Jen]Zephod> idd, plain simple activity seemed to do it <+[Jen]Zephod> though credit again to agony for the DCing <+Razz-> I think agony and afu are a bit shy atm <+[gosu]AgOnY> we had a buddy pack with several poker players <+[gosu]aFu> ur doing fine, nothing to add atm <@AppocoEoRC> that good at bluffing? <+[Jen]Zephod> no need to bluff :P no ziks <+[gosu]AgOnY> thats good at online times <@AppocoEoRC> not many xans either <+Razz-> hey! <+Razz-> <+[VGN]YuC> it was sad we had no ziks <+[VGN]YuC> one could have stealed a lot <+[TGV]Sagnigius> we had one <+[VGN]YuC> except for shock that is <@AppocoEoRC> quite unusual I guess <+[Jen]Zephod> 3/12 active players... were xan <@AppocoEoRC> where did the theme of fishing come from? <+[gosu]AgOnY> xan were very important <@AppocoEoRC> I have to ask! <+[gosu]aFu> bout the fishing <+[gosu]aFu> we actually couldnt decide on anything till the night before tickstart <+[gosu]aFu> so we just went with something random <+[gosu]aFu> star thought he was clever though chosing cat <+[gosu]aFu> ;> <+[gosu]aFu> cat as a name i mean, since he thought hed pwn us fishies <+[gosu]star> my fault ! <@AppocoEoRC> were you originally playing for fun or to win? <+[gosu]star> we started the round at fenix place <+[gosu]AgOnY> for fun as long as we could win <+[gosu]star> so i messed up the name in the end <@AppocoEoRC> apart from [gosu]AgOnY, is there anyone else you'd like to thank for your win?

<+[VGN]Cr0> indeed was a hel of a fight <+[VGN]are> definitly <+[VGN]Amnion> I have no fingernails left. :-) <+[VGN]Cr0> lol <@AppocoEoRC> I didn't even know who was going to win and I had admin tools, I have to admit <+[VGN]Cr0> it was close AppocoEoRC , we werent shure either <@AppocoEoRC> How did this round compare to previous rounds? I think it's probably fair to say you were more a force this round than in recent previous rounds? <+[VGN]Cr0> yes and no AppocoEoRC , last 3 rounds we improoved . and slowly we gained back into top ranks . think we where 11 or something 5 rnds ago <+[VGN]Amnion> Yes, we've been getting steadily stronger over the last few rounds. <+[VGN]are> unlike many other alliances that made the top position we slowly grew from the very bottom. It is a true community getting closer every round. Better profiles attracted even better players.<@AppocoEoRC> did you therefore expect to be at the top challenging this round? or did it not matter as much as feeling you did the best you could? <+[VGN]Amnion> We always play to do as well as we can. I, for one, don't expect anything at the start of the round. <+[VGN]Cr0> wel , manny pmed me during this round about that AppocoEoRC . we aimed kinda top 3 <+[VGN]are> well, views are different here, when peple asked me at the start of round I aimed for #7. Much more comfortable there, more sleep, less politics. :-) <+[VGN]Cr0> <+[VGN]are> they overruled me, though. <+[VGN]Cr0> top 5 i was shure of kinda , top 3 aimed at. <@AppocoEoRC> there were a few new faces alliances wise this round <@AppocoEoRC> how did this affect the politics between them? <+[VGN]are> well, in my eyes the top 10 are the smae people like ever, some changed the alliance names, essentially the same people. And politics is between people <+[VGN]Cr0> yeah , new alliance names , but know people <@AppocoEoRC> why do you think this round was so different to others in terms of competitiveness of alliances then? <+[VGN]Amnion> And our "Diplomatic Corps" did a great job this round. <+[VGN]Cr0> i think couse the politics where good devided this round <@AppocoEoRC> who were your major allies and enemies then? <@AppocoEoRC> Conspiracy, TGV and Jenova were all major competitors at different points in the round <@AppocoEoRC> and ROCK and a few other alliances were always ready to get involved and pounce <+[VGN]Cr0> wel <@AppocoEoRC> ND seemed to rise through the ranks too <+[VGN]Amnion> CT were our main "enemy" <+[VGN]Cr0> it was kinda ct + rock + tof hitting us <+[VGN]Cr0> those where the most hostiles VS us <@AppocoEoRC> and your allies? <+[VGN]are> allies: TiT (partially former mebers that came back from some other game this round), naps: Jenova (after a bigger fight) and rock. Though ROCK we had to cancel for their links with CT which seemed tobe the main enemy <@AppocoEoRC> what about tgv? <+[VGN]Cr0> and we gave a little red love back with jenova + tvg <+[VGN]are> have i dorpped TGV? <+[VGN]are> oooops. <+[VGN]are> sorry <+[VGN]Cr0> coreckted than <+[VGN]Cr0> <@AppocoEoRC> so it was two sides the whole way through? <+[VGN]Cr0> yes <+[VGN]Amnion> Pretty much. <+[VGN]are> well, a mix <@AppocoEoRC> (in your eyes at least ) <+[VGN]Cr0> ye <+[VGN]are> tgv afaik had links with rock which again atacked us a lot after we cancelled the nap <+[VGN]Cr0> yes and with ND if i am coreckt later on <+[VGN]Cr0> not shure there <+[VGN]are> and some people cliamed tgv would backstab us latest today, which they have not done. Thanks for this. real vikings, rude and straight. <+[VGN]Cr0> :P <@AppocoEoRC> <@AppocoEoRC> that helped you win then? * +[VGN]Cr0 salutes for that <+[VGN]Cr0> wel as soon naps get broken all politics move AppocoEoRC , means we could have lost yes <+[VGN]Cr0> ofcourse <@AppocoEoRC> well, congratulations <+[VGN]Cr0> was a close run all the time though <@AppocoEoRC> in the final couple of minutes, who would you like to thank? <+[VGN]are> well, only hostiles won't gain you the round, you need allies. everyone teams up on the top spot. alone you are dead <+[VGN]Cr0> agree are <+[VGN]Cr0> yes i would like to thank some if possible AppocoEoRC <@AppocoEoRC> quickly is possible <+[VGN]Cr0> Once again we've finished a round after a lot of hard work by a lot of dedicated people <+[VGN]Cr0> This is the first time VGN has achieved this and we are goddamn proud of it <+[VGN]Cr0> We owe this rank to the active people in our alliance. There's no need to name them <+[VGN]Cr0> they know who they are <+[VGN]Cr0> Our thanks go to Jenova. They turned out to be great allies. We wont forget that - thanks Jenova ! <+[VGN]Cr0> We also want to mention the TiT people. We know we didnt help too much to make them a big group. Still, we want to thank them for their loyalty. <+[VGN]Cr0> And the last mention must go to TGV. They honoured the nap until the end of the round as we agreed <+[VGN]Cr0> and ofcourse well done to CT. Thank you for a good fight this round. You proved yourselves to be worthy opponents. It was great fun <@AppocoEoRC> <@AppocoEoRC> well, thanks <+[VGN]Cr0> momento <+[VGN]Cr0> 1 thing <+[VGN]Cr0> Just before I go - GlowDog would just like to add this <+[VGN]Cr0> GlowDogWork runs around barking madly, doglicking all VGN and friend, and waggs his tail like insane <@AppocoEoRC> lol <@AppocoEoRC> thanks <+[VGN]Amnion> Hehe. * [VGN]GlowDogBRB is now known as [VGN]GdogYEEEEY <+[VGN]Cr0> i love u all VGN people ofc for the great dedication <+[VGN]Cr0> thats about it <@AppocoEoRC> thanks * @AppocoEoRC strokes Glowdog * AppocoEoRC sets mode: -vvv [VGN]Cr0 [VGN]Amnion [VGN]are <@AppocoEoRC> well, thanks to VGN <@AppocoEoRC> thanks to you all for turning up <@AppocoEoRC> almost 600 people here <@AppocoEoRC> we have the allcomp competition coming up <@AppocoEoRC> <@Pea> Tags counted, scanned 597 nicks and found 39 different tags. 0 tags were excluded/banned.
