Let me say a few words before we get to who won. Corp 3 Points 'R' Us did not make the podeum, but they get an honorable mention. They layed it all on the line and tried everything they could to get on top. They almost had it! Great game guys Corp 3 consisted of, Prestone, Kemper3, Tweety, the reverend, Hollywood, Dr. Bad.

In first place an overwhelming victory with all planets with citadels and dispensing a bloody game indeed is corp 2 Star Endeavors! Blue Adept, Freejack, Cherokee, Haolemon, Overkill, Doctor Who This team functioned like a well oiled machine and played an excellent game. Congradulations on a spectacular win. It was the daring invasion of corp 3 that tipped the scale.

In a very very close race for second place, Corp 4, Fugitives from Fate! Tied in kill points with Easy kill Points what put them over the edge was the amount of lives they had left scoring bounus points. Great way to stay alive guys, Congradulations to our second place team of Cbs228, Father Cajone, Zep, Pony, Speedy, Pestilence.

And in a respectable third place was I think a bit of a surprise. Easy Kill Points managed to rack up 4 kills. When an invasion by corp 3 took them out of the game seemingly the corp gave up. All except for Pagan who managed to keep herself alive till the end of the game and allowed for his teams points to count! Wow great job Pagan your corp owes you. Congradulations to out third place finishers! Didaskalos, Fear Me, Big12ozHog, Jughead, Pagan, Delcambre. This was a great corp who played very well. look out for these guys in futur tournys.

I would just like to thank everyone who played. Despite the loud Nay sayers before hand this game ran pretty smooth. Everyone was a great sport and played with integrity. We ran into some issues with the scoring system which we worked out like adults. I want to thank you all for being so patient and understanding. I wish every tourny can play out as this one did. Great game to all and I hope to see you all back and more next year! Silver Dragon

Posted 4/13-> What a great turn of events as corp 2 clintches their stunning victory. Corp 2 staged a massive attack on corp 3 who had hoped to hold out with a planet buy and a stardock blow up. Corp 3 was 100% wiped out with all players ship distroyed and only 2 left with lives to try and claim points. But at this point it looks like corp 2 has done it. Game only has a few more days left and we shall see what pans out for second and third posistion. Has corp three been knocked off the top three in one swoop? only a final count will tell! wow what a game!

Posted 3/20-> I can not force teams to report planet numbers right away because invasions do not show in sysop logs. So, to put everyone on even ground I am taking down the planet invasion records page. Please report any and all planet invasions with the date and the planet number to me for records sake, the will NOT be posted for public view.

Secondly the two speacial ships will be made available at the start of the day Monday the 24th, thats 12am eastern 9pm pacific the 23rd. Any questions ask me. At the same time fed parking will drop to 0, so hold on to your butts its gonna get rough.

Game will also come to a conclusion at the close of april 23rd Eastern time so 9pm pacific the 23rd. Server will shut down and points counted.

Posted 3/13-> Just want everyone to read the clarification of planet invasions below. It works just as it is written. Just a warning, you can not stage invasions. You can not claim a planet someone made then when it is lvl 2 claim it as personal and then having your corpie invade it. This is staging an invasion and it will not score you any points. To enforce this I have a script which will tell me who owns every single planet. If you invade a planet that you owned the day before it will score 0 points. Any questions please ask!

Posted 3/09-> You can now view all planet invasions post on the score board check em out! I have also posted all of the logs on the main page!

Posted 3/02-> Tonights xtern fed parking will be set at 5! all be ware!

Posted-> 2/26 Ok a clarification on the planet invasion points has been reached so here it is.
If your team invades a Level 2 or up planet that belongs to another team I will note the planet number. If your team has it at the end of the game and you have upgraded it to at least a lvl 5 your team gets 30 points.
If you invade a planet that your team created, you do not get 30 invasion points. Your reward for the effort is keeping your enemy from scoring 30 points.

So here is a tip, watch your SDT planets! Dont allow another corp to upgrade it behind your back and then invade it. This is your responsibility to prevent from happening. Keep track of your planets dont leave dead ones all over space for corps to pick up for points.

Posted-> 2/26-> wow what a great game! a great race is shaping up for the lead go on over to the score board and check it out. Lots of players still in it and building! Be sure to follow all the action right here as the game heats up!
