[tobapopalos]

Well this thread is retarded.

 

[Dimitar]

People aren't even fully teched yet and you're asking people to say who' the best player? That on its own is... well, what toby said

 

[Elderveld]

what toby said

 

[LuckySports]

Well this thread is retarded.

agreed..

A LOT can still happen in the round, I doubt R1 will change, but who's to say who will finish R2? What happens when R3 fights R4?

 

[xvi]

yeah, really, wth. what toby said

 

[Dax]

The round's over because people killed your Nanos amidst your stupid sleepmoding? Oshit, the round is all over.

 

[timtadams]

The round started?! Oh shiii...

 

[willymchilybily]

this is going to be annoying 1 week before round end when the official (yet still unofficial) thread gets made.

ps. the thread isnt actually retarded. it's just a blank canvas waiting to be filled. The subject matter may be retarded, and i think if you dont stop picking on this poor little thread when its not its fault something bad will happen to you. All the threads will conspire against you, and when you are fast asleep, they'll whisper behind your back and make up stories. Same **** happened to richard gear, & now he's not allowed to keep pet rodents.

this is going to be annoying 1 week before round end when the official (yet still unofficial) thread gets made.

Nevar! Let's fill this blank canvas. *Passes around the buckets of paint*.

* Alliance of the round - DiP for me, since I don't think I ever attacked them after week 1 due to their lack of bounty. Therefore, they avoided any and all attempts by me to kill them Also bravo for achieving rank 2 as a public alliance for a stretch of time this round. Nice work guys, sounds like you had a fun relaxed round

* Best Offensive Alliance - Obnoxious for their rushes against PW at the top. Also most evident use of teamwork against solos, utilising maximum efficiency, and I SO love efficiency when attacking

* Best Defensive Alliance - PW, seemed to defend rather well when Ed and I were out trying to pick a few of them off for bounty. Was really tricky with all their phones at the ready >: P

* Honourable Mention Alliance - Discworld! Still going strong ^^

* Worst Alliance - Bone Collectors, sorry Coruba, but I'm afraid your route setup was never going to work and I'm sorry the players there weren't committed enough to your vision.

* Player of the Round - Allied - Quitus my man! Excellent round for you Big success on the kills and effectiveness front, you beat me with 2 weeks to go, and used your activity, alliance and friends to your better advantage. Kudos my friend, you outplayed me sir

* Player of the Round - Solo - For me this has to be Ed, he was consistently VERY high ranked all round long... and with the arsonist route as a solo? Incredible! Never ceases to impress me. He only lost his rank when he went on holiday, which says a lot.

* Best Offensive Player - Another massive success for Wouter this round. Starts off with an amazing stint as a HUGE nano, then restarts partway through the round and has an amazing bounty hunting stint with Elderveld and others. Storms to a well deserved rank 1 bounty that I also couldn't keep up with AWESOME.

* Best Defensive Player - Mr. Mongo, was always there and ensured I never landed. Never gave up and was the life and soul of his alliance

* Honourable Mention Player - My PNAPs throughout the round for their help in times of need, particularly Zaheen and Rhys for the fun attacking and defending throughout the round!

* Best Moment of Round - Getting rank 1 fame (hopefully) and completing my h/f set Convincing so many people to go solo at the round start was also good.

* Worst Moment of Round - Realising I wasn't going to get rank 1 kills, damage OR effectiveness, but there's always another round! My solo group alas didn't quite work out, since while I convinced lots of people to go solo hardly anyone came into my IRC channel and chatted to me there :'( Subsequently, due to lack of socialising boredom, they all went to various alliances. A lot of this had to do with my inactivity though, so I've only myself to blame xD

And my friend happens to get me in a choke hold 5 seconds before tick end.


And as for me shipjumping, im not staying in a alliance that cant defend vs me.
I got kr twice, so i joined whoever could defend vs me.
Tbh i shoulda joined obnoxious, i feel at home here

 

[Wouter]

* Alliance of the round:
PW - they won

* Best Offensive Alliance:
Obnoxious for sure

* Best Defensive Alliance:
I think this1 goes to Obnoxious, RSF and DiP, we all got bashed to the ground and we all stood back up, and produced some nice BRs in defence

* Honourable Mention Alliance:
DiP for being public, I have lots of respect for allys being public

* Worst Alliance:
This award has to go to RSF. By times they were pretty awesome, but defending vs a RPG rush with POM?

* Best Leader:
we've had our differences during the round, but respect to Recon for putting together an alliance that stood there for quite some time

* Worst Leader:
PW leader for accepting Zaheen, and srry, but Quitus too

* Player of the Round - Allied:
Elderveld and Rusteh. Elderveld for being my rush buddy and Rusteh for being the most reliable player I've ever played with

* Player of the Round - Solo:
Ed.

* Best Offensive Player:
Quitus - did most damage and got most effectiveness, although I had to find him targets

* Best Defensive Player:
Cody - never online but when pranked usually online within a few minutes to send his SA

* Honourable Mention Player:
Rusteh - if anyone ever needs a reliable member for his ally, get him, no matter how it goes, good or bad, he goes for 100%

* Worst Player:
Zaheen - do I need to explain?

* Best Moment of Round:
Retalling PW by attacking Emma early round and finding out none of them had units home lol.

* Worst Moment of Round:
Cant find one, had a pretty fun round

 

[edd]

* Alliance of the round - Obnoxious, I think you guys deserve to finish 2nd

* Best Offensive Alliance - Obnoxious, I wasn't around much these last 2 weeks but when I went on holiday RSF had a fair lead and now you've secured 2nd for youselves so congratz.

* Best Defensive Alliance - RSF, before I went away you guys had some pretty extreme activity on defense.

* Honourable Mention Alliance - DiP, Public from the start.

* Worst Alliance - Bone Collectors, didn't want to participate in the resistance when they were about the same size as Obnoxious and we (OBN and a few solos) were doing flak attacks on PW. They then crumbled in what i remember to be a very short period of time.

* Best Leader

* Worst Leader: Recon

[02:13] <Recon> you kill a member, i get to kickrape and get more land lol
[02:21] <ed> where's the loyalty?
[02:23] <Recon> f*** loyalty
[02:23] <Recon> control them with fear

* Player of the Round - Allied: Hero, we don't always see eye to eye but I thought he played an excellent round.

* Player of the Round - Solo:

JamesNChina, third round in a row i've played with him/watching him closely and he continues to improve his tactics and get right up there in many of the ranking systems.

Lobster, my new pnap as of 4 weeks ago i think. Great activity, always checking me and he got Gargantua [1,113,427] (largest at any moment) as a solo which i think deserves a mention

* Best Offensive Player - Wouter

* Best Defensive Player -

* Honourable Mention Player: Max, Elder, Phobis, Quitus, Zera and Zaheen

* Worst Player - Players who join the top alliance after they have already won. This always frustrates me because every round some players go inactive after they win, leaving the cover to fewer players and while i understand their wish to increase the number of active players, I don't understand why anybody would join them because (and I know this is very optimistic) you reduce the possibility to 0 of a successful late round resistance. Obnoxious' set of successful rushes is hardly unprecedented (although it did last a long time) and when it happens the top ally responds by replacing inactives every time

* Best Moment of Round - Had a lot of fun protecting my land nearly without fail in the first 3 weeks once i had HT/WK.

Gardener 9,419,479,037 (how many i killed this round )

* Worst Moment of Round - I was disappointed not to play the full round with RM because we had a lot of fun last time we went solo together and I was looking forward to it at the start of the round.

 

[willymchilybily]

honourable mentions:Quitus, Edd, Maxsim, Angela, Bluehenn, Kuda, Marit, Leeroy, Wouter, Shaggy, Dax, Chris'o

you all stood out, for mostly the right reasons. Even if one or two of you frustrated me when I became allied. well played to you all.

best moment of round making my peace with zaheen. (yeah its been a pretty dull round as pom)

worst moment of round. Chris_ i love but hate you for beating me to the distractor rank 1 stat, congrats. especially as i thought i had it in the bag when you lost all targets. Every one that has attacked chris since mid christmas I loath your lack of courage to try and kill & instead take the risk free option.

 

[jamesNchina]

while I haven't been actively offensive or spy hardy enough to be remotely accurate in my judgements/opinions.. would like to put my 2 cents in anyways.
* Alliance of the round - well #1 is #1 congrats on the win PW - even if it wasn't truly challenged
* Best Offensive Alliance - Can't say for sure but Obn stands out imo for this
* Best Defensive Alliance - I would have to give this to the Drunkards given their lack of land mass the entire round and yet maintained a high troop score
* Honourable Mention Alliance - Again DIP - public from day one - and green throughout - also to the devoted Scallywag members who only play for fun and round after round have stuck with the namesake in-spite of being repeatedly bashed from every alliance above them (which was most )
* Worst Alliance - ??
* Best Leader - ??
* Worst Leader - any who used Kik/rape as a means to control and motivate
* Player of the Round - Allied - Alci for the reason he has managed to stay high up in the ranks most entire round with nothing in land to create income - even if it was a matter of inactivity/running doesn't matter in my mind.
* Player of the Round - Solo - Hands down Ed - wish our original pnap plan would have worked out - always a pleasure to watch you go after the bigger guy!
* Best Offensive Player - not sure
* Best Defensive Player - don't know
* Honourable Mention Player - Thomasvinki - while I never thought much of people who almost solely attack at 30-50% range and don't think highly of joining a r1 alliance after they have decisively won the round - you consistently showed your metal/gumption and was one hell of a good pnap. you deserve the win !
* Worst Player - one who shall remain unnamed - but knows who he is - if one's words are not better than silence, is silence not better? (no reference to the player Silence - though he does live up to the name )
* Best Moment of Round - making it to rank 28 as a solo with little defense from pnaps
* Worst Moment of Round[/B] having to replace RM as pnap - dying on Christmas eve having signed on 10 minutes too late to save myself - nice timing Quitis you tyrant!

 

[avash]

* Alliance of the round - Have to say PW, they won..I don't know how they won as I didnt play the first 20 days but they obviously did something right.

* Best Offensive Alliance - Obnoxious, they impressed me before I joined. And the contactability from the majority of members has been outstanding.

* Best Defensive Alliance - Dont know, Obnoxious I guess due to the contactability factor again

* Honourable Mention Alliance - DiP due to their public thing.

* Best Leader - Quitus for his amazing effort in holding the alliance together and the amount of effort he spends contacting people.

* Worst Leader - Quitus for taking all round to kick Cheche (just kidding Quitus)

* Player of the Round - Allied - Wouter probably with his mental amount of RPGs and before his CW. Closely followed by quitus for the reasons mentioned above.

* Player of the Round - Solo - Ed was top notch this round until he went on holiday so probably him

* Best Offensive Player - Wouter for the above reasons

* Best Defensive Player - Chris in our allie for the amount of defencive mobs hes sent, 200 more than anyone else in Obnoxious (877 in total).

* Honourable Mention Player - Zaheen for how much he winds everyone up and Phantom for recalling from me on Christmas day ;D.

* Best Moment of Round - Realising id been the top player out of PW on two different IDs, without even playing the first 30 days! And stealing 25k acres in 5 days. Shame I suck for the below reason:

* Worst Moment of Round - Having insane amounts of land and no troops. Getting ready to go down the harrier branch of military and while being on the phone developing heavy weapons instead. After Clicking "develop" I died inside. Thats what I get for not playing for 3 years or so I guess .

Oh and worst moment of the round 2: Having a nice amount of acres with lots of sentry turrets. Then being hit by minifreak with his CG's as he had no idea about the ratio on the bunker route. The ratio for sentries on CG was 1:1.5, bunkers similar or less. And then being CG raped by dax down to like 6k land.

Had a great time though and plan to play next round from the beginning.
