Re: End of Round Awards
Alliance of the round: Well, as always the alliance on top at the end did better than all the others to get there, be it by wars or politics or a combination of both. So it is very easy to say that Interlude is the alliance of the round. We did quite well in the wars and Twigley played an excellent part in the politics, which always was a and always will be a (if not the most) important part on the road to victory. However, my vote in this category goes to pestiferous, because they kept fighting even after losing three big players to enigma and being brought down, because they managed to steal land faster than no other alliance, because they are the most effective alliance around, because they are active/reachable like hell, and because they never stop bugging us with their nasty little stealth attacks. So Kudos to Pestif!
Best Offensive Alliance: There is no clear winner for me in this category. True, Pestif are the best rushers, but rushing is not everything. Organizing attacks plays another big part in being the best offensive ally. And I can only speak for my alliance, but Lukey did a very good job in organizing, not only for us, but also in the wars to bring another alliance down. The combined IRC room was always waiting for Lukey, wich tells enough about his quality. So the best offensive alliances in my opinion were Pestiferous and Interlude.
Best Defensive Alliance: We did quite well in defense, blocked most of it and hurt the attackers a couple of times, so I give the vote to us: Interlude. Another reason why we are the best in defense is the fact, that we were also able to pull an excellent and very succesfull counter attack as defensive strategy when we were under high presure.
Worst Alliance: No idea, there are about 20 alliances around, but I only was involved with the top three, so it is impossible for me to say which one is the worst of the round. Everybody keeps saying Enigma were, but they are top ranked, so they must have done something right. But if I had to choose from the top three, then my vote would go to enigma, because they never really knew what they wanted and they were less active and less reliable.
Best Leader: At least that is easy. Best leader was Twigley. He was active like hell, always contactable and he sacrificed a lot of sleep all round long (damn, i wish i was still a student
). He was a good defense organizer, he was pulling the strings in the back and played the politics just right. And he always knew what he was doing, so yes, Twigley is the logical choice here
Player of the Round - Allied: Lukey. He was not only active like a maniac, he was also putting a lot of effort in to be succesfull this round (sometimes so much that it was almost annoying, no offence buddy
). He kept pushing and trying hard all round long. And as I said he was playing a big role in the wars when organizing attacks. Kudos Lukey, nice job and keep it up!
Player of the Round - Solo: I will give this one to hobo. He was flakked so many many times, and still kept going, I think I would be so frustrated that I had deleted way early in the round.
Best Offensive Player: Well, there are many ways to play offensive. One way is to rush people with lets to get kills and effectiveness. This is not my style to play but it is Darksider's. He rocks and has a huge lead in effectivness as well. So yeah, he is the best killer around. Another way to play offensive is to attack mainly for land. This is my sytle
I saw one dude do really really well in stealing land, he joined us with a hand full of acres and is now top ten. He gained his acres amazingly fast, ery impressive. This guy is Recon. Great job!
Best Defensive Player:what does that mean, best defensive player, the one who defends the most? The one who saves most land? The one who kills most in defense? The one who organizes defense the best? Probably all of it. I cannot point out a winner in the whole playerbase, because I havent experienced defensive play in other allies. But from what I saw in Inter, this one should also go to Twigley. Because he did great in all the points mentioned above (except the kills naturally
)
Best Moment of the Round: Seeing the biggest battle report i was ever part of:
Died: 2,445,209,170 [£68,722,142,936,800] enemies dead. 1,517,164,962 [£65,067,115,376,300] friendlies dead.
This was just a crazy amount of dead lets
Another good moment was when we stole 40k acres from Pestif in retaliation. Awesome
Worst Moment of the Round: Realizing that a highly respected member of this community is cheating to win the round in valuation. Martin, I never thought you would go so low and need to do that, I am really disappointed. Another downer is the fact that he will get away with it, since Azzer was away while it happened.
