<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score, leading to an average 17-player galaxy by round end. It also marked the introduction of the ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole and lost the same roids in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5 million value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented the release of a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably annoyed.<br />
<br />
Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence from the battle at Smasher's, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. These roidgains were sufficient to take a record third round win.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they finished less than 500k behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted ROCK, citing ROCK hostility. ROCK, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind with an heroic effort (complete with patriotic galbanners) which prevented xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. A single night effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged at Smasher's & their 2 biggest planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
NewDawn considered xVx defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary, so disengaged. In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, they were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score, leading to an average 17-player galaxy by round end. It also marked the introduction of the ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole and lost the same roids in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5 million value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented the release of a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably annoyed.<br />
<br />
Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence from the battle at Smasher's, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. These roidgains were sufficient to take a record third round win.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted ROCK, citing ROCK hostility. ROCK, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind with an heroic effort (complete with patriotic galbanners) which prevented xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. A single night effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged at Smasher's & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
NewDawn considered xVx defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary, so disengaged. In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, they were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score, leading to an average 17-player galaxy by round end. It also marked the introduction of the ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole and lost the same roids in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5 million value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented the release of a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably annoyed.<br />
<br />
Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence from the battle at Smasher's, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. These roidgains were sufficient to take a record third round win.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted ROCK, citing ROCK hostility. ROCK, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind with an heroic effort (complete with patriotic galbanners) which prevented xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. A single night effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged at Smasher's & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
NewDawn considered xVx defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary, so disengaged. In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, they were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5 million value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented the release of a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably annoyed.<br />
<br />
Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence from the battle at Smasher's, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. These roidgains were sufficient to take a record third round win.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted ROCK, citing ROCK hostility. ROCK, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind with an heroic effort (complete with patriotic galbanners) which prevented xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. A single night effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged at Smasher's & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
NewDawn considered xVx defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary, so disengaged. In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, they were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5 million value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented the release of a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably annoyed.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted ROCK, citing ROCK hostility. ROCK, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind with an heroic effort (complete with patriotic galbanners) which prevented xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. A single night effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged at Smasher's & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
NewDawn considered xVx defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary, so disengaged. In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, they were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd round win, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted ROCK, citing ROCK hostility. ROCK, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind with an heroic effort (complete with patriotic galbanners) which prevented xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. A single night effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged at Smasher's & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
NewDawn considered xVx defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary, so disengaged. In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, they were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd round win, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted ROCK, citing ROCK hostility. ROCK, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind with an heroic effort (complete with patriotic galbanners) which prevented xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. A single night effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged at Smasher's & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
NewDawn considered xVx defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary, so disengaged. In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, they were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd round win, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted ROCK, citing ROCK hostility. ROCK, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind with an heroic effort (complete with patriotic galbanners) which prevented xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. A single night effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged at Smasher's & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
NewDawn considered xVx defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary, so disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, they were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd round win, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardment; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd round win, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched structure-killing attacks, some of which landed blind & crashed spectacularly. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite a lengthy beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd round win, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite a lengthy beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards lost the top spot to xVx who planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd round win, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from Vengeance, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite a lengthy beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd round win, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd PA victory, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

[[:Category:Alliances:Round_25|Alliances in Round 25]]</div>86.165.95.236http://clawofdarkness.com/pawiki/index.php?title=Round_25&diff=14403Round 252008-03-14T00:01:07Z<p>86.165.95.236: </p>
<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacking structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd PA victory, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT fleets crashed into Smasher at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacting structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd PA victory, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

[[:Category:Alliances:Round_25|Alliances in Round 25]]</div>86.165.95.236http://clawofdarkness.com/pawiki/index.php?title=Round_25&diff=14401Round 252008-03-14T00:00:22Z<p>86.165.95.236: </p>
<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
A parse of the incomings<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacting structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd PA victory, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over 6:3 until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacting structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd PA victory, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Unfortunately for him the attacting structure killers destroyed his factories in a ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
Elviz was able to take his 3rd PA victory, more than anyone in PA history.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. In the end, these roidgains carried him to victory.<br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Byrney had factored in the effect of the structure killers, but unfortunately for him they destroyed his factories in an exact ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day. Byrney had factored in the effect of the structure killers, but unfortunately for him they destroyed his factories in an exact ratio which prevented him releasing a large amount of hidden production. With the probability of this ratio occuring of about 1 in 4,000, Byrney was justifiably frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value for ~650 roids and the ruining of his spectre fleet (a mistake which may have cost Smasher the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: The round was contested by NewDawn, Conspiracy Theory, Urwins & xVx. NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on and removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on. NDCT removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their large hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn boosted their score by adding out of tag planets. Despite the loss of almost 10 million score to a deletion and mistakes in releasing production, NewDawn were able to claim the win.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on. NDCT removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their large hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damaged & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn added their out of tag planets for a major score boost. Things were closer than expected, with almost 10 million score lost in a deleted planet and mistakes in revealing production, but ND still managed to take their second victory in a row.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on. NDCT removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their large hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, claimed innocence and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damage & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding other top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end of the round. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn added their out of tag planets for a major score boost. Things were closer than expected, with almost 10 million score lost in a deleted planet and mistakes in revealing production, but ND still managed to take their second victory in a row.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on. NDCT removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their large hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them for a 2 week bombardments; with no support from their allies Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, believed they hadn't targetted xVx and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damage & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding other top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end of the round. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn added their out of tag planets for a major score boost. Things were closer than expected, with almost 10 million score lost in a deleted planet and mistakes in revealing production, but ND still managed to take their second victory in a row.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on. NDCT removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their large hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. Some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them. Urwins' defence of their biggest planets was phenominal and several of them were almost unroidable all round long. <br />
<br />
NDCT's bombardment was almost constant for 2 weeks; with no support from Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, believed they hadn't targetted xVx and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damage & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding other top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end of the round. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn added their out of tag planets for a major score boost. Things were closer than expected, with almost 10 million score lost in a deleted planet and mistakes in revealing production, but ND still managed to take their second victory in a row.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
SUMMARY: NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory worked together from early on. NDCT removed Ascendancy as a threat, followed by Urwins, then xVx. CT lost a huge battle to xVx, giving up any plans of fighting NewDawn. NewDawn tagged up their large hidden score reserves and took the victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'. NewDawn successfully hid a large amount of score out of tag all round long.<br />
<br />
Early on, some Ascendancy planets massed distorters, whilst others hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth NDCT) NAPd and launched a structure-killing assault. When the expected inside information failed to arrive, some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day Ascendancy were hit across the board, an effort repeated periodically by NDCT, who feared Asc were hiding value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, they never breached the top 4.<br />
<br />
During this time, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and NDCT firepower shifted to them. Urwins' defence of their biggest planets was phenominal and several of them were almost unroidable all round long. <br />
<br />
NDCT's bombardment was almost constant for 2 weeks; with no support from Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
CT were able to depose Urwins, but soon afterwards xVx were able to overtake them & claim first. Unwilling to join in the war, they planet targetted Rock for a night, citing hostility as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, believed they hadn't targetted xVx and responded in kind. An heroic effort by ROCK (complete with patriotic galbanners) stonewalled xVx's growth.<br />
<br />
NDCT were eventually able to come to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. With 35 of their fleets severely damage & their 2 top planets either NAPing or avoiding other top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end of the round. It wasn't all bad news though; their members' sacrifice was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of heavy incoming, NewDawn considered them defeated and decided that a shift to full targetting was unnecessary. NDCT disengaged.<br />
<br />
In the last 2 days, NewDawn added their out of tag planets for a major score boost. Things were closer than expected, with almost 10 million score lost in a deleted planet and mistakes in revealing production, but ND still managed to take their second victory in a row.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
Two important aspects of the round were Ascendancy distorter whoring and NewDawn hiding score in out of tag planets. The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'.<br />
<br />
Early on, several Ascendancy planets (including most of 3:5) massed distorters, and Ascendancy actively hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. Being untouchable, they raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy NAPd and launched a massive structure-killing assault. When the expected inside information failed to arrive, some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 battleship fleets in one battle. The following day, Ascendancy were hit hard across the board by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth 'NDCT'). This severely reduced Ascendancy's roidcount and the effort was repeated periodically throughout the round by NDCT, who feared Asc may have been hiding a large amount of value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, this never converted into a breach of the top 4.<br />
<br />
Following this, Urwins (who had aligned themselves with Vengeance and claimed top spot) were considered the greatest threat and once the Ascendancy retaliation died down, NDCT firepower shifted in their direction. Urwins' defence of their biggest planets was phenominal and several of them (such as Wishmaster and XceL) were almost unroidable all round long. <br />
<br />
NDCT's bombardment of Urwins was almost constant for about 2 weeks; with no support from Vengeance and morale flagging, Urwins' chances were ruined. It is testament to their skill, drive and commitment that despite such a severe and constant beating by twice their number they only ended 1 million behind Conspiracy. <br />
<br />
During the NDCT-Urwins conflict, xVx were allowed to grow unopposed and managed to claim the top spot from CT (who had only just deposed Urwins). Unwilling to join in the main war, they planet targetted Rock (who had NAPd NDCT) for a night, citing increased relative levels of incoming as the reason. Rock, sat in 7th, responded heroically, taking the fight to xVx and stonewalling their growth for about a week.<br />
<br />
As Urwins were believed to be critically damaged, NDCT came to ROCK's aid, splitting their fire between 11:7 and xVx. This single attack effectively ruined both xVx's and CT's chances. The battle at Smasher's severely damaged 35 of the CT fleets that would be available in a war situation, to the tune of 7.5mil value. With their 2 top planets either NAPing or just avoiding other top alliances, CT resigned themselves to defeat and maintained the NAP with NewDawn until the end of the round. It wasn't all bad news for CT though; their members' sacrifice and a little luck was rewarded with CT's first top planet.<br />
<br />
xVx proved unable to handle a night of targetting by ROCK and part-targetting by NDCT. With xVx considered defeated, NewDawn disengaged and relied on hidden score to carry them to victory.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
Two important aspects of the round were Ascendancy distorter whoring and NewDawn hiding score in out of tag planets. The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'.<br />
<br />
Early on, several Ascendancy planets (including most of 3:5) massed distorters, and Ascendancy actively hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. Being untouchable, they raced to a massive roidcount before NewDawn and Conspiracy NAPd and launched a massive structure-killing assault. When the expected inside information failed to arrive, some of these attacks landed blind & crashed spectacularly, with NewDawn losing 4 major battleship fleets in one battle. The following day, Ascendancy were hit hard across the board by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth 'NDCT'). This severely reduced Ascendancy's roidcount and the effort was repeated periodically throughout the round by NDCT, who feared Asc may have been hiding a large amount of value. In the end, Asc's distorter count limited their income and although they spent most of the round with an impressive roidcount, this never converted into a breach of the top 4.<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by [NewDawn] and [Conspiracy Theory] to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
Two important aspects of the round were Ascendancy distorter whoring and NewDawn hiding score in out of tag planets. The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'.<br />
<br />
Early on, several Ascendancy planets (including most of 3:5) massed distorters, and Ascendancy actively hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount, and fearing that they would become untouchable, NewDawn and Conspiracy NAPd and made preparations which resulted in a massive structure-killing assault, relying on information provided from within the target galaxies. When this failed to arrive, some of these attacks resulted in spectacular crashes, with NewDawn destroying nearly 1 million value in battleships in one battle. The following day, Ascendancy were hit hard across the board by NewDawn and Conspiracy Theory (henceforth 'NDCT')<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by [NewDawn] and [Conspiracy Theory] to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
Two important aspects of the round were Ascendancy distorter whoring and NewDawn hiding score in out of tag planets. The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'.<br />
<br />
Early on, several Ascendancy planets (including most of 3:5) massed distorters, and Ascendancy actively hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount, and fearing that they would become untouchable, NewDawn and Conspiracy NAPd and made preparations which resulted in a massive structure-killing assault<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. The support planet rule was disabled and combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by [NewDawn] and [Conspiracy Theory] to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />
<br />
'''Alliance politics''' Perspective from Gate (NewDawn)<br />
<br />
Two important aspects of the round were Ascendancy distorter whoring and NewDawn hiding score in out of tag planets. The removal of the support planet rule meant that some alliances fielded over the 60 member limit and accepted less active planets as support; both ND and Asc fielded 74 players and xVx had a 22-member extra tag called '5th Asylum'.<br />
<br />
Early on, several Ascendancy planets (including most of 3:5) massed distorters, and Ascendancy actively hunted down scanners with structure killers and covert ops. They raced to a massive roidcount<br />

<hr />
<div>Round 25 was a 7 week round played from 11th January to 29th Febuary 2008.<br />
<br />
It marked the introduction of the ability to disband a galaxy once it fell into the bottom 10% by score. By the end of the round this led to an anomalously large average galaxy size of 17 planets. It also marked the introduction of hte ability to 'invite' a new signup into your galaxy after PT336. Finally, combat was finally made independent of user ID; people no longer stole roids which could be stolen in the same tick.<br />
<br />
'''Top Galaxy Contenders'''<br />
<br />
Smasher's galaxy, 11:7 dominated the rankings, with Elviz' gal (6:3) and Ascendancy's flagship (3:5) claiming second and third respectively. 11:7 had a greater-than-50% roidlead over second place until Elviz encouraged a number of alliances led by [NewDawn] and [Conspiracy Theory] to launch a murderous attack which took 12k roids.<br />
<br />
'''Top Planet Contenders'''<br />
<br />
The primary contenders for top planet were Smasher (xVx, 11:7), Bigbad (TGV, 11:7), Byrney (NewDawn, 11:7) and Elviz (Conspiracy Theory, 6:3), with Elviz eventually winning. He had dominated the early rankings, before a mid-round roiding by Ascendancy allowed the 11:7 crew to make a run for it.<br />
<br />
The massive assault on 11:7 severely reduced Bigbad and Smasher's odds; in a spectacular battle, 35 CT frigate-based fleets crashed into Smasher's planet at a cost of 7.5million fleet value, but managing to take ~650 roids and ruin his spectre fleet which was left at home (a mistake which may have cost him the round). Elviz' frigates were conspicuous by their absence, and with his conserved attack fleet he was able to ensure regular roidgains from attacking smaller alliances like Subh, TGV, F-Crew & Hidden Agenda. <br />
<br />
Byrney's chances were ruined by Urwins on the last day; structure killers landing on him killed his factories in a ratio that prevented him extracting a huge amount of hidden production. The probability of this exact ratio occuring was approximately 1 in 4,000, leaving Byrney severely frustrated.<br />

'''NewDawn''' has played every round of Planetarion and has often been represented in top blocks and alliance rankings. It was founded in round 1 by [[Sith]] and [[Stez]]. New Dawn's philosophy is "fun first" and they play the game with that idea first and foremost in their sights. This has contributed to a strong and active community. <br />
<br />
In PaX, NewDawn was able to step up, finishing third in [[Round 12]], allied to the winners [[1up]]. After a poor showing in the first half of [[Round 13]], NewDawn merged with [[SiN]] to form [[SiNND]] who finished fifth.<br />
<br />
After the severe beating of [[Round 13]], the loss of many members to [[1up]], [[SiN]] joining [[Hydra]] and [[G-II]] de-merging it looked like NewDawn would collapse. However, the loyal core and several new recruits made a strong start with [[Gate]] and [[Flying_So-Low]] running the show. [[The_Fish]] and [[ReligFree]] later joined the HC team as [[Gate]] burned out. NewDawn first engaged the similarly sized [[Reunion]] in a rank war before swelling in size by absorbing members from the collapsed [[InSomnia]], [[Hydra]] and [[Wolfpack]]. At the end of the round, NewDawn were crushed by [[1up]] and their allies [[Reunion]], finishing second.<br />
<br />
NewDawn went into [[Round 15]] with yet another HC change; [[Grog]], [[h3ll]], and [[Amon]] joining [[Flying_So-Low]] as HC. [[Grog]]'s political maneuvring let NewDawn reach the top spot, but [[eXilition]], helped by other alliances such as [[Subh]] and [[Vengeance]] were able to obliterate NewDawn's lead. Again, ND finished second.<br />
<br />
In [[Round 16]] a new council was set up, constisting out of [[cura]], [[BA]], [[Paddy]] and [[JDD]]. [[Grog]] took the BG [[DLR]] out of tag for the round but despite this loss, NewDawn were still able to compete. [[1up]] defeated [[Subh]] early in the round, but NewDawn joined [[Subh]]'s side and, frustrated by the dominance of XP, [[1up]] began to weaken. The outcome of the war was never decided as [[Ascendancy]] tagged up and took an easy XP win leading to NewDawn surrendering the fight for first, eventually finishing 7th after tidying up its ranks.<br />
<br />
[[Round 17]] saw NewDawn ally itself with [[InSomnia]] early on to engage the leaders [[Omen]]. Indecisive leadership and the failure to prosecute a proper war on behalf of both NewDawn and [[InSomnia]] allowed the conflict to become bitter and drag on with no clear resolution. [[1up]] hid a huge amount of score and by the time they tagged up, petty arguments between [[Omen]] and NewDawn/[[InSomnia]] allowed them to stroll to a victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
NewDawn started [[Round 21]] with only two HC, namely [[Barrow]] and [[cura]]. After losing quite a few members to Conspiracy and WolfPack, NewDawn didn't compete for the #1 position and instead aimed to rebuild for the future.<br />
<br />
This rebuilding effort was successful as NewDawn won [[Round 24]] and [[Round 25]], in both cases narrowly beating [[Urwins]] and [[Conspiracy]].<br />

'''NewDawn''' has played every round of Planetarion and has often been represented in top blocks and alliance rankings. It was founded in round 1 by [[Sith]] and [[Stez]]. New Dawn's philosophy is "fun first" and they play the game with that idea first and foremost in their sights. This has contributed to a strong and active community. <br />
<br />
NewDawn is one of the oldest of all the alliances, dating from [[Round 1]]. Many members from the very early days of NewDawn still remain. Most history from the early rounds included [[Tsunde]], [[DigitalZero]] and [[ColCarp]] as High Council members. With early ties to [[BlueTuba]], NewDawn has always been a contendor as the top alliances in the game.<br />
<br />
In recent rounds, NewDawn has made new friends and stepped up a bit, finishing third in [[Round 12]], allied to the winners [[1up]]. After relatively poor showing in the first half of [[Round 13]], NewDawn livened things up again for its members (and perhaps for the game) by merging with [[SiN]] to form [[SiNND]].<br />
<br />
Between [[Round 13]] and [[Round 14]] NewDawn suffered a bit of a crisis. [[G-II]] decided to de-merge from NewDawn (they had merged in a much earlier round), and several other members including one HC decided to join [[1up]]. For a while it looked to some like NewDawn would cease to function as an alliance, and most of the universe had written off their round 14 chances. However, the core membership made a very good start to the round, not least due to sterling work from the [[HC]] [[Gate]], [[The_Fish]], [[User:Flying_So-Low|Flying_So-Low]] and [[Spritfire]]; and after a series of other alliances disbanding or collapsing against the winners 1up, NewDawn ended up finishing 2nd. During the round they took in a lot of new members, mainly from the alliances of [[Wolfpack]] and [[Insomnia]], as well as [[SiN]] members formerly playing with [[Hydra]]; increasing membership from about 40 to over 80 members.<br />
<br />
NewDawn went into [[Round 15]] with yet another HC change, with [[Grog]], [[h3ll]], and [[Amon]] joining [[Flying_So-Low]] as HC after the departures of [[Gate]], [[The_Fish]] and [[Spritfire]] from the HC team. They played [[Round 15]] well on a political base with [[Grog]] being the political genious and managed to stay #1 for a long time. Nearing the end they attacked Exilition full force because it was only a matter of time untill Exilition would attack them, but Exilition proved - with the help of other alliances such as Subh and VGN - a too big of an adversary for NewDawn. Exilition took over the #1 position making NewDawn end 2nd.<br />
<br />
After [[Round 15]] [[Amon]], [[Grog]], [[h3ll]] and [[Flying_So-Low]] resigned as HC and took a well deserved break after their outstanding performances in [[Round 15]]. During the time inbetween rounds a new command was set up once again. <br><br />
In [[Round 16]] the council constisted out of [[cura]], [[BA]], [[Paddy]] and [[JDD]].<br />
<br />
With this new command NewDawn reinforced the community feeling on which the founders of NewDawn have built the community that exists now. They are still going for victory but will not when the costs are getting members to quit due to getting burnt out. Victory at all costs is not a motto for NewDawn. The strong feeling of community, having fun, socialising, etc. is what has kept NewDawn going for so many rounds, sacrificing this for victory is not an option.<br />
<br />
NewDawn started [[Round 21]] with only two HC, namely [[Barrow]] and [[cura]]. After losing quite a few members to Conspiracy and WolfPack, NewDawn didn't compete for the #1 position and instead aimed to rebuild for the future.<br />
<br />
NewDawn won [[Round 24]] and [[Round 25]].<br />
