A quick update on the most recent rounds then as I couldn't be fucked with more lengthy ones anymore. Round 35 saw the majority of the remainder of [[Ascendancy]] which was still actively playing fold into [[Apprime]]. As a result Apprime was far more active than its main contender, an expanded [[Euphoria]]. A block attempt was made by Euphoria, [[CT]], [[ND]] and [[DLR]] but Apprime were able to get allies such as [[p3nguins]], [[VisioN]] and [[ODDR]] on their side. You could describe what ensued as a slaughter but that would imply that there was something on the other side to slaughter. Apprime dominated the top planet and galaxy ranks with [[Cardinal]]'s galaxy finishing #1 and [[Benneh]] finishing with the top planet.

Round 36 saw Ascendancy re-emerge as a possible contender, with most of their player shifting back from Apprime. Although these two were seen as the two most likely winners the round saw first ND and then VisioN at #1. There were few enough wars worthy of the name and after some random faffing around between Apprime, Ascendancy, DLR and VsN the round seemed to be winding down towards a fairly boring conclusion. ND hadn't bothered attacking VsN when they overtook them for the top spot and with less than 2 weeks to go in the round the only noise around the universe was the sound of everyone snoring. A group of alliances, mainly led by Asc and CT, got together to twat one of the top galaxies, 8.3, containing [[agar3s]], cardinal, [[reese]] and [[eksero]] among others. The gal hopped off into vacation mode for various confusing and slightly bizzare reasons. This led to a focus of hostility towards Apprime and the roiding of nearly all of their top planets before the round finished. The new public galaxy system, public gals being a lot larger than private, helped 8.9, CT dominated, to the #1 spot. Planet wise the round was won by [[dedin]] of Asc, aided in this by a huge number of Asc planets backstabbing Vision and mass launching on Dimentus, VsN's #1 planet contender. on the final day.

Round 37 became a block war early on. Osiris went into the round extremely hostile towards Apprime and slowed their growth down straight off. Evolution went to #1 and, concerned by this situation, Asc and ND joined Apprime to target Osiris and Evolution, who in turn brought in CT to even the numbers. After a while of this the Asc/ND/App block looked to be winning. However ND were pissed off at Apprime for being unreliable jackasses it was impossible to work with. They joined the other side and Apprime got murdered. Ascendancy meandered around roiding noobs while this happened and woke up to find themselves #1. Apprime, annoyed at Ascendancy's unwillingess to deNAP ND and/or attack one of the others without Apprime help, joined Evo/Osiris and CT to take down Ascendancy. Asc lost roids like they were trying to give them away and #1 soon looked very unlikely. Apprime now had their chance but got hit briefly and put up about as much resistance as a wet paper bag. The round looked to be in the bag for ND but Evo, together with osiris and App, hit ND heavily for the last week and, almost miraculously managed to overtake them on the last day of the round. Numerous small events led to this but perhaps the most amusing was [[Dunkelgraf]]'s decision to join Evo on the final tick, with his score responsible for pushing them ahead of ND. [[Bluearmy]] of Ascendancy, managed to stay #1 due to being so staggeringly far ahead by midround even losing 80% of his roids couldn't drop him back far enough. #1 galaxy was another public gal, mostly consisting of CT and Asc planets.

Round 38 saw a new arrival on the scene in [[NFI]]. They proved very active and beat Apprime comfortably early on. Asc tried to start a war against them but they sucked badly and NFI NAPed most of the active universe and in response. Round 38 was over before you could say antidisestablishmentarianism. An ND, one of the alliances napped by NFI, planet finished #1 despite NFI attacking him in the last week. The top galaxy was apparently 13:3, of whom I remember absolutely nothing.

Round 39 was quite possibly worse than Round 38. NFI disbanded and Apprime stopped being shit and beat up on Ascendancy early on. New boys [[Imperia]] ran around like a headless chicken on LSD and ended up NAPing Apprime. This really is all that happened alliance wise for the whole round. Top galaxy was Apprime dominated 7:6, who I don't think received serious incs for the entire round. Top planet was a race between Hasu of Imperia and Henrik of Apprime. Numerous planets donated their fleets to both players and Hasu managed to win this, er, "competition". Facing into Round 40 the only thing PA players can say is surely the next round won't be as bad as the last two...

Can it?

[[Theamion]] 12:30, 13 Januari 2010 (GMT)
Januari 2010. Who would've thought. Planetarion is still alive and somewhat kicking. Since jer's last update Planetarion has been playing roughly with 1.5k planets each round, drawing out of a pool of 2-2.5k players. Round 35 has just started with the same people who dominated the last 9 rounds playing together.

Round 25 was won alliancewise by New Dawn, with [[Elviz]] adding another planet win (he would also win round 30) for Conspiracy. Round 26 was won by [[Ascendancy]] under the tag STOOMTHEREVIVAL, while NoX had a planet win with Cronix. The galaxy rankings were dominated by [[Ascendancy]] controlled fortress galaxies, while the round ended in time for the [[NoX]] flagship planets to make it. Denial was early on a very dominant force, but with combined efforts and some self footshooting, they ended up 2nd.
Round 27 would be their revenge, with [[Ascendancy]] playing on their level, but with emo-ing going on and half the universe gunning for Denial, Denial managed, (although some say through factors they did not control) to win the round with less the 1 million margin over Conspiracy and just 4 million margin over Ascendancy. The unlikely planet winner of this round was Linkie`, who to almost everyone is known as the casual community player, but actually put in effort this round and was greatly helped by others setting up attacks for him and on his biggest opponents. Galaxy win was for Cardinal's galaxy.

Round 28 was assumingly JBG's last round (oh how wrong we were) and Ascendancy set out to make the biggest win ever. Crushing their opposition (mainly CT and ND) Ascendancy won with a landslide. All the top galaxies were Ascendancy controlled or the score came from the Ascendancy planets in that galaxy. Almost double the score of the #2 alliance, an almost 200 million score gap, 25 out of the top 30 planets and an average score of the 31st place in the universe (with a 75 player tag, 60 counted) made it almost impossible in sheer terms of numbers to ever improve this.

Ronud 29 started with Denial in a great position. But the combined efforts of various alliances created their downfall. Once again Ascendancy moved in for the win, winning with a 60 million score gap, dominating the planet rankings with Sunny winning planet over Achi and with JBG's galaxy firmly winning the galaxy rankings. This made Ascendancy win 3 out of the last 4 rounds.

Round 30 was supposed to be the last round ever. With Cardinal, Golan and [[JBG]] in Ascendancy's leading roles and Wishmaster restarting [[Omen]] as their biggest competitor it would be interesting, especially as this round would last 10 weeks. Ascendancy once again, as in all previous rounds, created fortress galaxies by timed exiling, and [[DLR]] did the same with one galaxy, who would be in the top 10 all round. Ascendancy had a rough start with Omen and CT hitting them from the word 'go', but Ascendancy proved to be a tough nut to crack and with CT's erratic focus and constant hits on Omen. CT proved to be unreliable and at some point it was just Ascendancy vs. Omen where Ascendancy came out on top. A combined effort by the universe in various ways was made, but did not last long enough for Ascendancy to be defeated or overtaken by someone else. Not only due to the sheer military efficiency of Ascendancy, but also due to political trickery[http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=197508 Ascendacy forum post]. The last thing is something Ascendancy got more and more forum attention for and people watching Ascendancy critically. Ascendancy won the round as an alliance, with Elviz winning the top planet and a fenced galaxy winning the galranks. To also dominate that, the round did not last long enough.

Round 31 saw [[xVx]] with the lithuanians under [[Cardinal]] (who moved out of Ascendancy because he could not get his lith BG in) move into the top spot early on, with the rest of the universe hitting Ascendancy. Due to a deal with xVx and Ascendancy, xVx stopped hitting Ascendancy and Ascendancy simply defended their incomings while outroiding xVx. Santacruz managed to win the planetrankings for xVx, with achi coming in second. An Ascendancy/xVx fortress galaxy won. This was also the second round Ascendancy played with a 'fun' tag, TOOT THE ALLIANCE. This was Ascendancy's 4th win in a row, and 5 out of the last 6 rounds.

Round 32, Ascendancy, seeing once more as a big contender, purged their community and played with a very small tag. Cardinal created Apprime (where a lot of exile's form Ascendancy went too combined with a lot of players that Ascendancy defeated in the previous 4 rounds) and Apprime won the round deservedly. However, Ascendancy's choice for terran fortress galaxies and their lateround napping of Apprime ensured a galaxy and planet win for Ascendancy. With Ascendancy having the top 4 planets, and all first 5 planets were from the same galaxy.

Round 33 Ascendancy played with a full tag and took on Apprime. While Ascendancy had fortress galaxies, Apprime was more spread out and Ascendancy had the advantage of being almost 100% Xan. With the stats of that round it meant that they could virtually roid anyone. Playing a good round, Ascendancy moved into the lead never to give it away. Although there was continuous fighting throughout the round, Cardinal at some point thought it was a lost cause, started kicking players and this essentially sealed the roundwin for Ascendancy. A non Ascendancy galaxy won the round and Reese won the planetrankings, with her crew running the #2 galaxy (#1 galaxy last round).

Round 34 saw the departure of [[Golan]] and [[JBG]] from Ascendancy and with other players who were usually influential ([[Benneh]], [[Achi]], [[rasputin]]) Ascendancy was somewhat lesser then the round before, while Apprime improved itself. The universe quickly went hitting Apprime as they got roids fast. Apprime, like Ascendancy, was situated in3 fortress galaxies, with the rest of their players (only a handful) scattered out. Ascendancy and Apprime made such a deal that backing out was neigh impossible and stayed allied throughout the round, sharing bookings, intel and defence (out of tag when possible). The interesting thing of this round was that the opposition consisted of a block of 6 alliance (of which Euphoria and [[DLR]] were the core) who consistently hit (with only a few exceptions where one or two of those 6 alliances opted out to go newbie roiding) Apprime, Ascendancy and later on [[VisioN]] who allied with both.
The galaxy rankings in the end were dominated by these 3 alliances. A galaxy who started the round with a mix of Subh, Vision and Ascendancy, won the round. Mostly thanks to the Subh planets joining Apprime midround, meaning they had virtually no incs all round. They were closely followed by 4 out of 6 fortress galaxies, controlled by either [[Ascendancy]] or [[Apprime]]. [[Wishmaster]], who started as Subh in the winning galaxy, won the round as a planet. Wishmasters main competition was [[Pablitem]] ,who benefitted from large amounts of escorts from his gal, and with about 10 days left of the round, Pablitem's planetwin seemed inevitable. [[Wishmaster]] gave up the roidrace and tried winning by stealing a xan fleet with his thieves, of which he succeeded and catapulted himself to a safe victory.

So from r26 to round 34 this makes for: 1 Denial win, 2 Apprime wins and 6 Ascendancy wins.

[[User:Jerome`|jerome`]] 16:00, 8 January 2007 (GMT)
First news post since round 19, and we're a few days away from Round 25 beginning. Nice. A quick summary of the last few rounds: Round 20 was the introduction of 'eitrades' as a race to PA. Politically the round was contested by Vengeance, strengthened by the inclusion of the gosu bg and 2 newly formed alliances [[Conspiracy]] and [[Destiny]]. All three allies proved to be mediocre, with VGN and Destiny sacrificing a lot of their score in their battle to hold #1 planet (Caj of Destiny and Agony of VGN/Gosu were the main players); however hilariously neither won. Ascendancy organised a more or less murderous raid at Caj's galaxy with the help of [[Omen]] and [[New Dawn]] and the roid loss set Caj on a frenzy which ended up with him directly attacking Agony, who had him fleetcaught with the help of gosu. Agony's own fleet was involved in the fleetcatch but he pulled from landing in order to save score. Little realising he'd actually pulled into uncovered incoming that set his own fleet back a few million score as well. Paving the way for Ascendancy members to hold all of the top 4. Conspiracy Theory enjoyed this self-destruction too as it more or less set them on a clear path to victory.

Round 21 marked the return of WolfPack who had a more or less uncontested round. Interesting part of this round was the rise of Ascendancy playing for value widespread with great success, with 3 top 5 planets in Kileman, JBG and jerome`. They consolidated themselves into 4 main galaxies (2:4/2:7/9:2 and to a lower extent 15:8) and dug themselves in. This was rather helped by the race of ETD proving to be more or less unroidable this round. One controversy regarding this round was Greenhills being donated many a million through a collected effort by his galaxy that pumped him over Kileman into first place for his second planetary win. Some saw this one up manship characterised by Ascendancy themselves as entirely justified and it was indeed acknowledged as such by many known Ascendancy members. Kileman however, wasn't quite happy (understandably) and has quit PA since this event.

I'm going to have to skip over Round 22 and 23 as I didn't play either. However both were key in the rise of Transcendancy, a channel for free scans and previously, free intel too. Achilles led this revolution against PA MHteam's fairly ridiculous stance on support planets which has now been somewhat recitified. Round 24 saw the first long-awaited win for New Dawn as an alliance. Other contendors were Conspiracy who ended a whisker away from winning their second round and the battlegroup-now-turned alliance Urwins from "old" PA. R24 was also the second round in a row where clear run away winning planets had their leads overturned with healthy sizes of incoming. R23 saw Fenix's apparently maniacal lead murdered and r24 had Ronin and jerome` who were both over 1mil value ahead of every other planet at tick 600, struck repeatedly until the 5:4 planets overtook them. 5:4 employed a strategy somewhat similar to Ascendancy's of r21 in terms of consolidating galaxies with the emphatic fortress race that was the xandathrii for this round. They were also capable of "playing politics" (lol) and this led to the largest gap of victory for a gal since 6:10's or round 14. That covers enough for now.

Whoa nelly! Speaking of round-altering events, check this one out! Exilition has apparently merged with their out of tag members Nihilum and have now taken the lead by about 4 million points. Angels and Omen, both under duress due to member/officer activity dropping off did a severe clearing of their member base and have merged into [[Furious Omen]]. NewDawn has taken third place, with tides of fire and vision rounding out the top 5. The war is on now, and the race to see if anyone can catch eXilition is on.

[[User:Squidly|Squidly]] 15:38, 16 November 2006 (GMT)
Round 19 is starting to wind down, with a little less than 4 weeks to go. As it stands right now, there's been a great deal of rivalry going on between two main blocks. It would appear that Post|Mortum unfortunately had to disband, but did a last minute save with vision by merging. Angels have recruited ToF and Vision to their cause, and continue to battle on against the forces of ND, Omen, LCH, and also rumored is exilition at least with one or two of said alliances.

'''1 ''NewDawn'' 38184 79 2,253,266 135,195,962'''

'''2 ''Angels'' 29572 72 2,075,741 124,544,519'''

'''3 ''Tides of Fire'' 34048 78 1,967,601 118,056,061'''

'''4 ''Omen'' 32814 59 1,990,203 117,422,010'''

'''5 ''eXilition'' 46819 48 2,387,231 114,587,093'''

'''6 ''xVx'' 31777 68 1,876,223 112,573,407'''

'''7 ''VisioN'' 29879 74 1,864,532 111,871,925'''

'''8 ''TGV'' 31477 70 1,629,105 97,746,304'''

'''9 ''[F-Crew]'' 26322 76 1,468,539 88,112,378'''

'''10 ''Vengeance'' 18009 49 1,645,166 80,613,167'''

As it stands now, NewDawn is in the lead with a good chunk of points, followed by angels only 11 million points behind. Angels were the victims of a severe butt-kicking earlier this month, but seem to have recovered from it fairly nicely. Tides of Fire have made a strong showing thus far, kudos to them. Omen, I think has some people including myself, curious. They were at 77 some members about a week earlier, but all of a sudden, it would seem that members are dropping off like flies. Rumor has it that they have a fair chunk of members out of tag and are planning on pulling a surprise upset later on. Exilition once against are a formidable force, and the only reason they aren't winning right now in over-all score is because they have half the members of everyone else. I imagine some are still wary if they are going to pull a victory out from underneath everyone, but who knows! xVx, and vision are quite close in score right now, with TGV, F-crew, and Vgn forming the latter of the top 10.

Round 19 is underway!

There was a fairly large number of the usual top 10 alliances that decided to tag up late, in the hopes that much of their planet locations were not given away early on. The top 10 is as follows, with rumors that neither omen or exilition have added a fair number of their larger members into the tag.

1 Angels

2 Tides of Fire

3 NewDawn

4 Post|Mortum

5 VisioN

6 xVx

7 Subh

8 [F-Crew]

9 Vengeance

10 eXilition

Good luck to everyone this round, and may the best planet win!

[[User:Squidly|Squidly]] 10:05, 7 September 2006 (BST)

Well, [[Round 18]] has come to a close, and some congratulations are in order!

First up, to [[eXilition]], who ran rough-shod over the rest of the competition, beating out second place [[Omen]] by over 100 million points.

Secondly, to the galaxy of 7:5, who had a fairly extensive lead over the second place galaxy of 12:2. Looks like that was a fight to the bitter end.

And finally, well done to Almeida (2:7:9) who was the winner of Round 18! Well played by him!

A list of final rankings will be posted up as soon as I possibly can... Stay tuned!

[[User:Squidly|Squidly]] 16:31, 25 July 2006 (BST)

[[Round 18]] is now part way through, and we're at tick 428. Many alliances have now shown their true colors, and the rankings are as follows.

1 eXilition 34103 65 585,281 38,043,295

2 Subh 23701 63 508,140 32,012,845

3 1up 24050 59 532,948 31,443,987

4 Omen 22651 64 450,531 28,834,025

5 ROCK 18201 66 406,916 26,856,508

There has been a fair bit of [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=191709]controversy as of late, involving both 1up and exilition again. The common theory right now is that exilition have been using out of tag planets as sole covert operations planets in order to hit 1up constantly. Some argue that everything is fair in love/war, whilst some others say that it provides an unfair advantage. Others are trying to slam 1up with being deceitful and manipulative, and putting forth their own support planets via a few of them who are suspected to not be in the tag as of this time.

430ish ticks in, and already things are heating up! I will throw out a 'well done' to ROCK here, as they've made a great showing thus far with their 5th place ranking. Subh as usual are showing what they can do, standing nicely at 2nd. Omen having grabbed a few of the TGV regulars after losing a few of their old exilition players are doing nicely at 4th, and 1up are still hiding a few of their members at third.

Have a good round everybody :D

*[[User:Squidly|Squidly]], 09 July 2006 (BST)

[[Round 18]] is now underway! We're at tick 54, and although rankings don't mean much right now, here you are! As it stands right now, [[Subh]] is in the lead, followed by [[Omen]], [[ROCK]], [[xVx]], and [[F-Crew]]

Good luck to everyone, in this... The Endless Fight.

Top 3 Planets:

Tick 98 and [[Round 17]] of Planetarion begins in earnest with the first few launches as the round is in its infancy. My choice of favourites would be [[NewDawn]], [[Omen]], [[1up]] (currently untagged) and [[Angels]]. However, [[Insomnia]] and [[Howling Rain]] have also got off to a strong start, although we're still at early doors. Last round's winners, [[Ascendancy]] have got off to a slow start but as we all know to them success is a journey, so why bother running. Time will tell if they're to repeat their feats of last round.

* [[User:Furball|Furball]] 18:25, 14 February 2006 (GMT)

It's tick 430 and the round has been going for 2 and a half weeks. [[1up]] are first, followed by an energised [[Subh]] and [[NewDawn]]. By far the most exciting news has been [[Angels]] purging itself of 19 members in an effort to clear inactives; in so doing, they have dropped from 3rd to 9th. Taking the greatest advantage of this are [[Vengeance]] and [[TGV]] who cement places in the top 5, although [[LCH]] are hot on [[TGV|TGV's]] tail. The other suprise is [[Dingo|Dingo's]] holding of the #1 planet rank for a few days, based on a [[XP]]-whoring tactic.

With protection drawing to an end, [[Alliance Discussions]] rejoices at the [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=189537 return of Quha]. [[XtoTheZ]] has also made a [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=189517 highly surprising and totally unexpected announcement] stating that [[Elysium]] have returned to play round 16. With a dozen alliances closing on the limit of 50 planets, it looks like there will be a competitive playing field with many outsiders looking to take on the favorites, [[1up]] and [[Angels]].

* [[User:Furball|Furball]] 00:15, 3 January 2006 (GMT)
eXilition wins Round 15, defeating NewDawn who take second. Angels unsuprisingly end 3rd, while LCH pip 1up to fourth. Subh, VGN, TGV and F-Crew bring up the rear.

==Tides of Fire==
'''ToF''' was formed by mainly [[valhalla]] players during havoc or [[round 10.5]].
It was founded by [[Pathogen]], Bode and Ravenous and played it's first real round in [[round 11]

==Rounds==
===Round 11===
This was the first round ToF played and it was a hard one. Starting from nothing without even the most basic tools. ToF flirted with a top10 position almost all round and eventually ended as 10th. A well deserved ranking.

===Round 12===
Our second round was similar to [[round 11]] though we had alot of improvent on the technical side.
We finished 9th in the final rankins and were glad to see improvement.

===Round 13===
A good round for ToF, holding the nr1 player ranking for a couple of weeks (<3 Jackie), and finished with top Cath coffee-
Final Alliance ranking: 8th

===Round 14===
The best round so far for ToF, once again proving to be a very stable alliance that goes it's own way.
The reason for ToF's high ranking was mainly politics. Many alliances had it hard during [[round 14]] but ToF managed to stay focussed.
ToF's final ranking: 4th

===Round 15===
[[Round 15]] started off as business as usual for the improving ToF, as we comfortably took a place in the top 10 and continually fought with alliances like TGV, SubH, Vengeance for a top 5 position.
But as the round came towards its end trouble was brewing inside ToF, trouble which eventually lead to a coup, and a breaking of the alliance into ToF and eVolution.
Most of the members of the original ToF remained as loyalists, and rejoined ToF as soon as fellah, olympus and bloke had created the alliance again, eVolution having taken its position ingame. We had a strong and really fun late comeback, and nearly made it back to the top 10.

ToF's final ranking: 11th

===Round 16===

=The Origins of ROCK=

The origin of ROCK dates back to the end of [[round 2]]. It began in a partnership known as Stryke, which was a rapid reaction force working via email and ICQ.

During Furgion's total dominance of [[Round 3]]. Stryke's member base of 50 semi-active players did their very best to repel wave after wave of attacks. A tough decision was made to disband the alliance after both partners decided to go their separate ways. One partner made a sensible decision to join a "large" alliance in which he still prospers to this day.

In [[Round 4]] TGO (founder of Stryke and p19) made the decision to launch a parallel alliance called [p19]. Planets in the same parallel had a distinct travel time advantage when travelling to each other, much like the cluster advantage later on. The original goal of this alliance was to be a small, secretive, tight-nit and covert collection of hard-core players specialising in infiltration and prevention, rather than outright defence. Unfortunately, harsh rivalry from x19th and pax19 made this largely ineffective and it became apparent that the only way forward was to open up the floodgates of random recruitment. It was at this point that the TGO began to seek officers who might aid him in this mammoth task. [[HC]]'s were appointed: Druid, Tarik and The Infiltrator. A public structure was formed, and [p19] began to grow. Shortly afterwards [p19] was blessed with the timely and unexpected arrival of an enthusiastic and charismatic young officer named Defgha, whose hardworking and friendly manner helped to swell [p19]'s member base to over 100. At this point, many of ROCK's present officers and veterans began to arrive, setting off a craze of nick changes to adopt the T#O style (in the style of the great TGO, great nicks came about such as TFO, TDO, etc.), which created much confusion but helped to add unity and direction to an arguably Newbie alliance that so desperately needed such things.

As the end of round 4 approached, [p19]'s position versus the other two main parallel alliances improved greatly. This eventually led them to overtake pax19, and to finish the round just 20 places behind the almighty x19th. It was around this time that [p19] were lucky to acquire Judder (x19th's "Angel") and Terra (also an x19th player), who both quickly shot up the ranks showing maturity and ability to command and motivate. During these last few weeks, it was decided that the spirit of [p19] was something which nobody wanted to lose and the floodgates were once again thrown open, but this time as 'ROCK'. The motive behind naming the alliance ROCK has been forgotten - a few theories include the rock-like solidarity of the alliance's membership, the alliance's ability to "rock" the universe, or even the alliance Commander's taste in music. The most likely however, is that the name delves deeply into the very roots of Planetarion - after all, isn't that what this game is about - just a load of mineral enriched rocks? Since then, ROCK's mammoth leap into round 5 has provided success after success with it's member base swelling to over 300 actives including some very proficient officers. This elevated ROCK, by then already a well-known and respected alliance, up to an average of 4th in the PA tagged rankings, and approximately 13th overall.

=ROCK Junior=

At the very pinnacle of its greatness, with ROCK's new re-vamped image and style for [[round 6]] coupled with an enhanced external affairs team, ROCK looked set to share in domination of the round and be considered one of PA's most improved alliances. Despite this success, ROCK did not rest on its laurels and limit its membership to only the elite of Planetarion. In fact, ROCK began to support the new influx of players as Planetarion grew in reputation and member base, wishing to improve the general playing skills of the community and attract more players to the game.

To this end ROCK was re-organised into a two-tier structure with the longer standing and experienced players in the main wing of the alliance and a new wing was created, titled 'ROCK Junior', intended for the training and development of beginners. ROCK Junior started small but soon ballooned to a membership of almost 200 players’ thanks, in part, to the efforts of the hard working and charismatic officers that led the group.

Many future greats in ROCK and Planetarion as a whole developed at this time, especially between rounds 6 to 8. Some stayed with ROCK after being promoted from ROCK Junior and others decided to leave to take officer positions in larger alliances. Much of the reputation of the 'ROCK spirit', or community spirit, was generated at this time and still exists today. At the peak of its activities in round 7 and 8, ROCK Junior rivalled the main wing of the alliance in terms of attacks, defence coverage and activity, spurred on by several initiatives intended to increase competition between ROCK Junior members. A controversial point scoring system was introduced by TGO and implemented by Thely, Tauc_Redfox and [[Assassin]] , who split the wing into a number teams - Nike (led by Thely), The Flying Foxes (led by Tauc_Redfox) and the Assassins (led by [[Assassin]]). Weekly goals were set by the captains of each team and the best of each team were considered for promotion. In political terms, ROCK has always attempted play the game with a degree of honour and in consideration of the game as a whole. ROCK regularly suffered at the hands of the larger blocks that became prevalent in later rounds because they sided with the underdogs in an attempt to level the playing field. This rarely worked and was the cause of much contention within the alliance membership.

=Shrinking Player-base and Long-term friendships=

Continuing as a very big player in the political affairs of the Planetarion Universe, membership levels dropped when Planetarion changed its revenue method from advertising to being subscription based. This pattern could be seen in many alliances around this time however and not just in ROCK. The knock on effect of requiring players to pay for full accounts meant that only the truly dedicated players stayed and ROCK's recruitment and training wing began to decline and wane by the end of [[Round 9]]. Around this time ROCK also began playing other games, such as Starsphere and Planetia. It has been debated whether this led to further decline to an already partly discontent alliance or if it helped keep ROCK together. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

To limit the effect of a declining membership, ROCK joined forces with a number of like minded alliances, sharing their defence networks and participating in a number of high profile retaliation attacks. [[TFD]] and [[Vengeance]] are of particular note, and ROCK maintained a firm friendship with both alliances for a number of rounds, eventually enveloping TFD into its ranks when TFD disbanded at the end of [[round 11]].

=A Brief History of Rounds 12-20=

ROCK (led by Jeltje) again in [[round 12]] joined forces with another like-minded alliance, DEADLY (led by Hellish). ROCK and DEADLY merged and created the new tag of DEADLYROCK for the remainder of R12. At the end of R12 DEADLY decided to remain with ROCK and stay for the long haul & today many of the DEADLY faithful still reside within ROCK.

Around R15 saw the rise of the Timeline & Hellish partnership, sometimes controversial - but still good fun and kept ROCK "in shape". R15 also had the fun of a war with xVx (which ROCK won) whilst dealing with VGN incommings, this saw some fine displays DC'ing most memorable of which was lilboi.

Rounds 15-18 were solid enjoyable performances by ROCK. At the end of Round 18 ROCK decided to change it's command structure. Before ROCK was led by CEO's who were in charge of the ROCK community and all the games that she played. With ROCK now only playing one game they felt a change was needed to reflect this. So they (Judder & Lastride) stepped down and the CEO position was abolished; thus the game command become more self determining as it was now led by an HHC (Hellish). Any CEO community responsibilities were transferred to ROCK's High Council.

[[Round 19]] was admittedly not one of ROCK's best "performing" rounds due to increasing real life pressures of the long serving command staff and the retiring of a number of core players. This fragility continued into [[Round 20]] as ROCK lacked new fresh command staff to pick up the slack. With a shrinking PA member-base and less fresh blood coming into the game ROCK was on the edge of leaving PA after almost 7 years of existence.

=Recent History: Round 21-22=

At the end of Round 20 the high-council was able to step back from directly running the alliance and instead now acts as a kind of House of Lords over the PA HC team. Originally the role of H-HC was offered to Med-Ion for Round21, who willingly took on the role until real-life issues started to take over. Hellkicker took over from M-I early on and his no-nonsense attitude towards member activity and politics soon had ROCK heading down a new and exciting path.

[[Round 21]] saw ROCK finish 16th in the alliance ranking, but with a average member score that was only bettered by two other alliances. Buoyed by this success and with the eyes of the rest of the PA community on us ROCK recruited heavily between Round 21 and 22 with the aim of breaking into the top10 after several rounds absense. A lot can be said about ROCKs approach to politics during [[Round 22]], siding against our long-term friends VGN and the new kids on the block [[Jenova]]; themselves home to many ex-ROCKers. Whatever is said however is easily overshadowed by ROCKs final position: 4th. The highest ever position achieved in our long history in PA.

[[Round 25]] was a strange round for ROCK after being p-targeted by the current no 1 alliance ([[xVx]]) which included spamming their Def bot on irc the HC decided that they would target xVx until the end of the rd to try stop them from winning after what ROCK felt was unfair tactics , this galvanised the ROCK members who sacrificed personal ranks to try to achieve this , with some help from both [[CT]] and [[Newdawn]] on the 1st couple of nights Rock continued to pound away at xVx who finished 4th, there was also some very funny gal banners created by both Lastride and Magicmaniac to encourage the members in their actions

''ROCK's current and future aim is that it's members have priority every step of the way. ROCK's Command Team is there to support, serve and aid the needs and wishes of her members and the community in any way possible. They are our life, our blood, the very makeup of ROCK. So we continue to strive to ensure that they get as much as enjoyment and success out of the game as possible; whilst never forgetting that FUN is what this is all about.

==The Creation of 5th Element/xVx==
'''xVx''' was formed by a small core of [[VisioN]] command and members after that alliance disbanded between Round 13 and Round 14.
Consequentially '''xVx''' came to existance close before Round 14 was starting.

'''xVx''' is the abbreviation for Fifth Element - in the meaning of the element combining the ancient elements earth, fire, air and water. Aristotle named this fifth - superior - element spirit.

==Rounds==
===Round 14===
This round for us was supposed to be a tryout round. Our target was to build a solid memberbase for the upcoming rounds which did involve a lot of tryout in both command and members. Starting with 35 members into the round we did a lot of recruitment - overall appx. 120 players have been in our rows throughout the round - 78 finished it.

In the final rankings we finished at position 5 - which was far beyond our expectations. Partially supported by numerous alliances disbanding/merging but mainly because we were able to put a decent fight till the end, outgrowing the averages of several alliances within the last 2 weeks.

On the political side we remained without any naps or allies throughout the round.

===Round 15===
Our second round turned out to be a pretty difficult one. After several backstrokes throughout the round it has been a hard challenge for everyone that stuck with xVx.

There was a nice amount of recruitment happening. A lot of new faces joined our ranks which was again a pleasure.
We didn't quite meet our expectations rankwise - too many internal issues and a lot of rebuilding mid-round took their price.

Due to rl reasons R14/15 HCs Uthor and Marka had to step down after the round was done.
A replacement has been found with Supersander - excellent players that have proven themselves to be capable officers/HC in previous rounds.

===Round 16===
With the new command structure xVx tries again to have an impact on PA and it's community while maintaining the friendly atmosphere we have been able to achieve throughout the rounds.

===Round 17===
In our quest to become a more efficient training alliance we started to put members and recruits into four different training groups - called clans. Those are led by some of our most experienced members. This gives recruits the chance to learn the ways of the games more quicker.

Politically it has been a rather uninteresting round for us. We had a major dispute with HR and some differences with F-Crew aswell.

We have seen again a load of fluctuation in our memberbase but yet again managed have a nice Top10 finish - namely on rank 7.

===Round 18===
Unsuspectedly xVx had a rather good start and for a change very actively participated in the political maneuvres of this round.

Starting with a 3 day campaign of SubH, Escape and us versus Omen who had been majorly hostile until then (not so much afterwards).
The second major campaign was a counter-block against eXilition to give them some opposition on the #1 spot. 1up and SubH were the partners. Sadly SubH backstabbed this block right away and we took quite some bashing.
The rest of the round was some close run for the 3rd place for us - with 1up and ToF being the main competitors. We managed to end on 4th place in a pretty competitive round.

DLR, or Dark Lords Rising, were a highly active, primarily American-based [[battlegroup]] who experienced success as part of [[NewDawn]], and other alliances such as [[Conspiracy Theory]], throughout [[PAX]]. They played as a separate [[alliance]] in [[Round 16]], [[Round 30]], [[Round 31]], [[Round 33]] and [[Round 34]], and one round tagged as [[h3lls angels]] during [[Round 20]] in honor of a good friend we lost that year. DLR are a fairly internally open group led by [[Grog]].

=='''[[Round 2]]: The Struggle for Power'''==
'''HR''' didn't exist for most of this round, with practically all our members being apart of -=42=- under the command of Zyth/Earthwalker. Zyth left due to -=42=- agreeing to become part of [[ICD]] (with B8S, K9) and Earthwalker was starting to become inactive. He promoted SethMace to [[HC]] (council consisted also of Willow, Landor, DrEggs & Chino), where Seth began work on making ideas for -=42=-s structure and organisation.

-=42=- Went downhill and Earthwalker had become very inactive. HC had an important meeting which allowed Seth to put across his ideas. All HC rejected them and his attention swayed from -=42=- due to HC's lack of "forward" motion.

ICD had by this time introduced Squads in preparation for "Round 3" and SM took it on to create an elite -=42=- wing, using the same principles he wanted to employ to the whole of -=42=- (as a test). Members such as Cartman, miro, iPad, diesel, Wild9 &Turbo Nutter, were some of the first members in the squad.

The squad was to be called "Howling Rain" :)

Forum was created and rules were in place & [[IRC]] looked busy (considering HR were no bigger then 15 members!)... they looked forward to the next round.

=='''[[Round 3]]: The New Dawn'''==
It was becoming apparent that ICD were severely hampered by Virii's inactiveness. Some long-term members were plotting to overthrow ICD command & HR certainly weren't happy with some of the other Squads activeness.

HR left ICD and for a short while went it alone but they still needed the shelter of a bigger alliance.

Zyth, an old -=42=- friend and member of Seths TFC clan, invited HR into Sedition, were things at the beginning looked superb. IRC was very active in all of the Sed Wings (hehe, shame we didn't know half of them were spies;( ) and there were attacks often.

Due to Sedition being overrun with spies and the main Sed galaxies being targeted by [[VtS]] & [[Fury]], Sed collapsed, again leaving HR without an alliance. One good thing from this situation, was Zyth was recruited into HR, with his many contacts and vast experience, would prove to help HR in recruitment and organisation.

HR by this time was growing in size and had created some good solid foundations (New HC Promotions for Zyth, Buster, Jabz, Cartman, Avatar, iPad, gC (a.k.a Gricey), S_E_T_H [ a different seth:) ] & Redeemer)

Genesis II (aka G-II) was the last "good" alliance of Round3, who had the size to make a stand & unite with others against the bigger alliances.

Planetarion had by this time become practically a professional sport, with the best players spending countless, un-sociable hours increasing their score.

GII leader Dukez had impressed Seth, he was confident and seemed very in control of his alliance, HR join G2 as a wing. HR membership was increasing under the protection of G-II and with their own wing channel, were able to build up a strong community spirit (which to this day still stands strong).

Fury, Legion & [[ReBorn]] had become a problem for every alliance and it was decided G2 would be the first to do something about it. HR worked closely with G2 on this and had also approached other alliances like ICD, asking them to aid our stand. Most alliances actually declared war on the Big3, with G2 being one of the final alliances to commit themselves.

Making a raid on the biggest Fury galaxy (who happened to have a HR member in), the G2 raid was a disaster. Spies had infiltrated the attack channel & were feeding false information to it, causing most people to eventually pull, even though victory would have been claimed if they didn't pull.

A 2nd attempt was organised, this time G2 HC were useless and HR officers had to step in on short notice, to try and help the situation go as smoothly as possible. This had frustrated HR and the newly in placed HC were wanting to leave G2. The attack failed for similar reasons as the first, which showed us G2 was insecure and could not be relied on.

HR HC decide to make Howling Rain into a fully fledged alliance, so if anything goes wrong, only we can be blamed for it. Preparations and contacts are pulled in from everywhere, as we remove our membership limit and refine structure & communication methods (New Private Forum & IRC Channel Network expanded).

It was around this time, HR brought in alliances such as TOA (who were lead by Aryn) and SH (who were lead by Exode), this increased our membership from between 10-20 actives, not to mention the good individual players it brought us.

=='''[[Round 4]]: The Tides of War'''==
Round 4 is seen by many, as HRs best effort yet to become a big alliance player. Recruitment of players was happening quickly. 50, then 70 and before we knew it we had over 100 members and activity was great.

It was in HRs early development that many of the still used rules & regulations were brought in (we were the first alliance to stop members joining our public channel - well apart from HC & officers:) ).

A player named Fubber(who later became HC) was recruited by Zyth, fubber was one of the best recruitments HR made over this period. He had been developing a website for us (he was highly skilled) and had also brought many good, active players into HR.

Our website was one of the best in PA at this time & with our irc bot Wolfy (developed by gC), we had good technology at ours fingers:).

HR grew even further, eventually totaling over 300 Members on our site. HC felt it was time for HRs name to be known, so a few "events" were held to increase publicity for us.

The infamous [Woof] channel walk was one of the highlights, with 70 HRs joining the major alliances channels spamming "Woof", it was very organised and did great for member motivation. We capped the night off with a retaliation on a large Legion galaxy, which was mildly successful but did achieve its main objective (to stop it hitting HRs gals in-para).

Round 4 showed HC main things about how an alliance should & should not be run, our recruitment was tightened and we started to look further into increasing activity and improving structure but for many it was too late.

We lost many members around this stage & many were inactive (this was the time of the mass kicking's of 100-150 members). We started to find a few intelligence holes which were sealed & things weren't going as smoothly as we hoped.

Fubber had by this time developed a new website but didn't have the time to work on it, also the server he was using was unstable & kept crashing.

Forcing Seths hand, many people were demoted and a few new promotions made (Linny & Jabz became HC).

Looking into re-organising HR, searching for a new website & looking into extending certain alliance relations, the end of Round 4 was approaching.

Negotiations with [[UV]], ICD, YHQ and [[hirr]] had failed, with ICD, YHQ & hirr going off with their own ideas (eventually forming Patience [P]), the proposed alliance of Harmony, seemed never to be.

At this time, Seth for various reasons had become inactive for around 2/3 weeks. HC kept things running but members left and things weren't looking too good for HR and Round 5.

Seth very kindly returned:) and the HC began to get the ball rolling again.

Relations with UV were re-established, HC started to check out Alliance Hosting and the "Wolverine" system was introduced by Seth, to increase member participation in the daily running of HR.

With the new Wolverines In Place and HRs new Alliance Hosting Website up & running, some organisation & communication was finally implemented into HR.

Round 4 had ended and talks with UV & [[BD]] were well underway into the forming of an alliance. At first a private server would be used, however HR did not go for this idea and offered a channel on PA IRC, as the main member meeting place (this channel was once the Galaxy channel for a Big HR Gal).

[[DUH]] was formed just in time for Round 5.

=='''[[Round 5]]: The Price for Freedom'''==
Round 5 continued off from where Round 4 had ended, running very smoothly.

IRC channels had been set up between DUH members, the fundamental rules had been laid down and the members from each alliance were becoming very friendly with each other.

The round started the beginning of October, things went well as HR started recruiting old members and IRC activity was looking superb.

Yet again, Seth became inactive for 2/3weeks due to a serious illness. Over this time a 3rd fall from grace occurred, with many members seeming to loose patience and leave/become inactive.

On Seths return, things were acted upon instantly to regain some sort of activeness, this was achieved in 2days of work and a word of thanx must go out to the likes if Ilh and Behemoth who had kept the boat afloat, while their leader was away (click here to read a NewsUpdate from around that time).

The Wolverines were shuffled about, with new promotions and demotions being made and more emphasis being placed on a wide scale leadership system, rather then a 1 man-show.

DUH had yet to become operational, due to lack of defence needed in the early round stages, but around this stage, had decided to pick up planet tagging. DUH became ranked in the top10 planetarion planet tags (and when galaxy tagging begun, [DUH] reached 7th on the sandman galaxy rankings).

Slowly beginning to increase membership again, HR recruited & recruited through HR members (although recruitment was greatly hampered by the reduction in player numbers, caused by pay2play), credit must be given to the DUH galaxy attacks, allowing HR to attack in larger numbers.

Things had settled down comfortably and like every round, HR had many members in top flight galaxies (although getting them to tag was another thing;)). Unfortunately, a huge stalemate between the major alliances had surfaced, with each good alliance, seemingly unable to attack anyone due to naps.

This created for most players, one of the most boring rounds in PA history, in fact wars between these big alliances only broke-out in the last few weeks of the round, when this finally happened everyone applauded. Unfortunately DUH had to remain neutral due to, too many conflicting galaxies on both sides of the war.

DUH's nightly attacks continued and were mainly being organised & planned by HR members (likes of Bloodthirster), this resulted in the creation of a New Wolverine Division - Extreme. [HR-X] were to fully prepare attacks for HR/DUH with scans and good organisation.

Even though too many nice targets were forbidden (due to DUH's neutral stance in the war), HR-X managed to choose plenty of good targets, considering there was a blatant lack of them around, again credit must go to HR members like Bloodthirster, Ardeaus, Roady, 2Pac, BigKev & Ivo, who assisted this greatly on many occasions.

As the round grew closer to the end, DUH just before Christmas, were informed by UV of their departure from the DUH triad. This came as a shock to HR & BD (not to mention some UV HC), we felt let down by UV but acted instantly (well, under the circumstances of Xmas in like 2days) in searching for a replacement alliance.

UV eventually decided to reject the merger with KoN over a management dispute, in turn wanting to rejoin DUH. DUH HC discussed this heavily and decided to accept UV back but to search for a 4th alliance, to strengthen the alliance.

The Wolverines were at this stage, starting to really get the HR Pack "Running Swiftly on all Paws". With common goals & determination, HR HC finally had a body of people, organised and willing to help HR in the 4 main areas, which had been outlined a full round before.

Havos period had arrived and DUH were planning for next round, unfortunately HR Command were getting tired of UV's input into DUH. Their HC activity was low and it was becoming apparent to us, they were becoming more tied to NoS as the days went on.

Discussions were created, in turn deciding HR would part company with UV for Round 6, this was announced at the very final DUH meeting and also saw the views of BD on this subject, with them agreeing with HR.

HR and BD finished the round well together and planned to move into the next round, with a 3rd ally. [[ROCK]], [[Silver]] & BluePhnx were all in the running for possible allies/ naps.

=='''[[Round 6]]: First Encounters'''==
Round 6 was a return to form after the dismal Round 5, the major powerblocks fought to the death, leaving the rest of the PA Universe largely un-touched. HR went into Round6 more promising then she had ever done, at the start of a new campaign.

One reason in particular aided this - ICD merged most of its remaining core memberbase into our ranks. Giving us a well needed activity boost and bringing along with it some great experience & knowledge.

It was a strange event, not just to see some old familiar faces but for the fact HR had started out as an ICD wing!

HR and BD had in the meantime searched for a third companion but could not find one that was of good enough standard.

The political overview was very one sided for Round6, with basically every major alliance fighting against the usual Furgion domination. The newly named HyB partnership of HR and BD would have a good round regarding galaxy & sandman rankings. Although never officially declaring our allegiance, we were very much anti-furgion and had napped with [[WP]], [[NoS]] & [[CeLL]], with a very unofficial agreement with Xan.

Unfortunately this agreement was only with HR and caused many problems, politically for HyB galaxies (specifically the BD ones).

HyB attacks were very limited when compared to the teamwork of the previous round but when they did happen they were very successful. HR attacked alone this round, as activity was usually good enough to not need assistance with coverage but that didn't mean we couldn't coordinate with BD on clusters:)

This round saw Linny & Ilh stepping down from their HC positions and with Kev and Bloodthirster stepping in!

It was a big round for Command shuffles, each of the Wolverine divisions were expanded and improved. The ICD influx also, as mentioned previously - gave us some great members to work with. We had [[Chaos]] switching from his original HR-X position, to join Nano and gC in the newly formed HR-S division (techys). Our recruiting wing Paws was also founded to increase our memberbase.

Approaching the end of Round6, we were looking for another ally to complete the triad but it wasn't looking good.

14th March 02 was the exact day [NoS]Wipeout first approached HR over extending our NoS relationship and basically going to bed - By Winging:). Wing status is of course nothing new for HR, while technically we have only ever been a Battlegroup, there isn't much difference to being a Wing.

This was a huge decision and at the time there was also talk of Silver (who were going to fold), of joining our ranks just as ICD did. Blood, Fush, Kev and Seth were worried with HRs identity, how could it survive by giving away direct control of who we fight against/ for and without our command having the final say? Not to mention ditching our long standing allies BD (who we had also approached regarding winging with us).

By the 3rd April is was unlikely HR would be a NoS wing, the HC wasn't happy with a few uncertainties and we didn't like some of the restrictions. However a second meeting with Wipeout and [[Dingo]] (on the 8th April), totally turned around the situation. We had pushed BD into the direction of [[Xylem]], hoping they wouldn't be left alone if we did move with NoS.

16th-17April 02 was when HR officially agreed to join NoS as a wing - Fush and Seth would represent HR to the rest of the NoS command. Round7 preparation on HRs part was rushed, due to such a large amount of effort put into HR-NoS discussions.

Round6 went into Havoc and Xylem had also agreed to join NoS as a 4th wing - BD were to receive [[Vengeance]] into their ranks for a member boost, aswell as an alliance named OI. During round 7 they were allied with [[FAnG]] (they later allied with UV - by the end of Round7 would have merged to form VD).

HR was a fully fledged wing of NoS, there had been a slow transition over to NoS IRC and to their Forums/ Arbiter. HR of course continued to use #fluffyfur as the infamous name for our private channel. We used the Havoc period to show the NoSers, that our command would be a great help (we BCed at every possible chance!) and our memberbase active & friendly:)

=='''[[Round 7]]: Critical Diplomacy'''==
HR-NoS was to be allied with [[Wolfpack]], [[Xanadu]] and [[Elysium]] for this round, a partnership which turned out to be a total disaster on the teamwork part.

While arbiter violations were acceptable, the joint IRC server wasn't of sufficient quality and ment NoS was kept away from some of the joint attacks.

Paws was taken over by Ardeaus who would take it as his own baby and see what new blood he could get HR. We continued to use Alliance Hosting as HRs website and the Wolfy & Fang bots continued to be developed by gC & [[Chaos]]. Thrud and Buster were also developing a completely new HR website.

The HR galaxies for this round were organised by Kev and Seth, most of the allied galaxies had already been sorted and as Seth finalised the final members into other spots (Felagund helped greatly). It was apparent we would have too many HRs in some galaxies but at the time there was no other option.

HR Command was having mixed results in their new hunting grounds. The HR-X were fitting in very well with the NoS BCs and [[Chaos]] was blowing NoS away with his technical knowledge & Thrud had made HRs very own BCalc!. However, at the time HRs community officers (HR-I) seemed to have stopped and HC itself was having problems (blood with exams and fush for inactivity). HRs recruitment division wasn't active at all, with Kev & Seth having to cover.

Mistwraith was promoted to spearhead the HR-I division and Blood had to leave HR due to RL issues - [[Chaos]] was promoted to HC status on the 9th July 02.

A HR community portal was in the making by Seth & Rebel and HR-I were finally organising some solid community events. The first of which was the piloting of the Great HR Woofage!

The end of the round was looming and HR HC were discussing its future, the round with NoS was great and we all learnt a lot but should we stay or move on? We had some clearly sexeh offers from Rock Jnr & [[vVv]] who both said they would let us wing into them<- the fact we were bigger then both of them was quite insulting lol (maybe you had to be there;P).

6th September 02 saw HRs long standing HC Kev, stand down due to RL issues, just as the last tick of Round 7s Havoc stopped.

Round 8 preparation was underway, everything was going well until we had a big situation with the organising of the NoS BC team. Wipeout who was to be sorting it out, went MIA so Seth had to step in and do the best he could. Then we had issues with IRC & Anakin (who left to form Adelante - in turn taking lots of old-skool and core NoS members).

Alliance Hosting was also totally deleted, so we were left without a website, we created a HR Announcements forum on the NoS forum.

Paws, our recruiting wing was closed on the 23rd September 02, due to a lack of manpower and for the fact Anoubis could be used more effectively - [[Illuminati]] and Howling Rain would pool their new recruits there, until they made the grade for promotion.

17th October saw the HC promotion of Mistwraith, just before the start of the next round and after the whole of PA seemed to be flaming NoS off on the forums - we laughed away the flames (mainly from our "allies" Xanadu who had folded with a bitter taste- end of Round 7 also saw the end of Legion).

=='''[[Round 8]]: The Final Legacy'''==
This was to be the final round of Planetarion - a legacy which span over 2years and many nights of laughter for us wolves:(.

In resilience to the stagnating rounds caused by Blocking, HR-NoS stood proud and alone against the rest of the Universe. Not even napping, we attacked and we defended by ourselves.

However, it would turn out the biggest problem for NoS was not the blocking but infact Battlegroups containing mixed Alliance planets. These BGs were sucking away our attack strength and in some cases costing us good membership.

Once again we were the first alliance to make a stand against a big negative for the Alliances in PA and demanded all members leave their BG & give 100% dedication to HR-NoS. The main aggravator of this decision on HRs part, was the fact that HR HC Fush left PA because of a Plush (a battlegroup) related issue. This was the last straw in weeks of damaging BG activity.

HR received some welcomed cheer in the form of another Great HR Woofage and roundly Oscars from Shrike, Misty and Crazybob.

With all the problems HR-NoS faced in Round8, defence was usually unbeatable. Many members shed tears at the amazing response and brotherhood which was shown.. this is something HR has always enjoyed and it was good to see it didn't change with NoS.

Unfortunately, Round8 was cut short as the servers hosts pulled the plug early on the Creators and left us all without a game to login to. A bitter finish but it wasn't to be the final end...

..while HR-NoS command discussed our future, trying to keep our members content while finding a suitable PA replacement - it returned. Hosted by Jolt, pa would be back and so would the planetarion Wing-Alliance of HR-NoS.

However, other's weren't so fortunate, alliances like [[Fury]] and [[Titans]] would not be. Although a lot of their members would flow into some new alliances, [[Olympians]] and [[Eclipse]] being the new big boys. Both with many [[Fury]] & [[Legion]] inside, plus at their core some of the strong Battle-Groups from the last round.

Pre-Round Preparations were well underway, HR-NoS did not want a repeat of last round's rush, so we organised our BC Team and mixed our Galaxies with our allies properly.

[[VoM]] were the first block to be announced, consisting of [[ViruS]], [[Olympians]] and [[Mad-Cows]] - VoM caused a ripple effect across the major alliances, worried of being dominated by this huge opponent. NoS weren't the only alliance to vent their anger at the stirring of another Power Block round... however it was unavoidable.

Political discussions were well underway 3weeks before signups. A number of alliances ended up not being allied to NoS for Round9, although it was anticipated it would happen originally. One of these alliances was [[WolfPack]] who joined a triad with [[Eclipse]] and [[Elysium]].

[[NoS]] were to ally with [[New Dawn]], [[hirr]], [[RaH]] and [[ETY]] (A Wing of ND).

=='''[[Round 9]]: Redemption'''==
The most promising round for HR since joining NoS as a wing, although politically speaking we were apart of the weakest block on paper, our memberbase had many quality players and our Command team were organised and prepared fully. Our block tried its best to mix galaxies, in turn increasing galaxy control and spreading defence requirements across the whole block. However, many NoS members were in galaxies containing [[WP]] and [[RaH]] had many in [[Eclipse]] galaxies.

With the start of the round underway, the usual rush of intelligence feedback began and [[NARH]] ([[NoS]], [[Auld]], [[RaH]], [[hirr]]) started compiling Intel for military coordination. Our goals from the start were to attack [[VOMM]] ([[Vision]], [[Virus]], [[Olympians]], [[Madcows]], [[Ministry], i, [[ToT]]) galaxies. Which there was much uproar from [[Vommit]] members, as [[WEET]] ([[WP]], [[Ely]], [[Eclipse]], [[ToT]]) were also targeting them, impressions were that Vommit contained the most members by far. Weet were very much underrated in size and as the inevitable happened and Vommit fell, HR-NoS and our allies were faced with a block who were three times larger.

One really big negative to come out of round9, was the amount of Dosing our private IRC server sustained. Many times nos galaxies received incoming, only to have our irc kicked from under our feet and cause defence communication problems. [[Chaos]] the HR-NoS Techy and WE, had to adjust the server setup to reduce this problem and this worked effectively.

There was a lot of background whispering around Round9s political curtains, while something's did not come to pass, HR-NoS's round did not finish as planned but was still good fun!

Round 9 came to an end early, with signs of [[Eclipse]] and [[ToT]]'s domination pushing forward stagnation. The creators cut it short and announced a new, totally free round of planetarion - Round 9.5. Aiming to attract new blood into the small community and allow a more casual round for everybody, with the revamped Round 10 just around the corner.

Practically every major alliance went into Round 9.5 without any alliances, naps and more importantly - No Blocks.

=='''[[Round 9.5]]: Resurrection'''==
A strange round, one that was given little respect but ended up being quite a fun round. It was random and free, there were no signs of blocks or any major alliances. A lot of freedom to attack who you wanted, ensured an open battlefield.

However cheating was undertaken by a lot of big names and this was a round which [[LDK]] ended up dominating.

As this round wasn't taken as serious as previous ones, a lot of alliances used this to test out certain ideas. HR was at the front of this tactic and we implemented a totally new attack system for our wing. Attack Packs would allow members to attack with others of similar Launch time Preference and activity.

While it wasn't perfect, it did achieve its goal fully in improving HRs attack effectiveness by taking on certain elements of Battle Groups.

HRs attack organisation wasn't the only big change, at the end of the round we would go on to announce our planned departure from NoS. Having fought proudly with NoS since the end of Round 6 and made some great friends. The Wolf once more headed for the hills.. alone.

This split did not occur without some bloodshed, as a few members from both alliances decided to go with the other side. The split was loving done from a Command point of view though.

=='''[[Round 10]]: Genesis'''==
A brand spanking new PA game engine, a fresh Howling Rain with new technology and a great influx of eager members from ETY. Yer, you could say we were looking forward to Round X:). After a long history, [[Entity]] (headed by Prometheus and Korenchkin) decided to merge most of ETY into HR.

ETY were an alliance very similar to HR, in that they were defiantly proud of their alliance community and both parties found the merger pretty smooth. It's safe to say, no other alliance in the History of Planetarion, could compete with HRs experience in dealing with such situations.

Things looked set for PAX as the round got under way, but things would soon change. Korenchkin, who was drafted in to head up the HR-I division, decided that he just couldn't muster up the will to play PA anymore, and left us before even signing up to the game. Two months later, Prometheus who came from ETY and joined the Military Council announced the same thing. The new technology was still not done, and things were moving slowly.

At this point, [[Chaos]] became inactive, as work and his newborn son took more of his time, resulting in all development on things like Arbiter, Attack system and IRC services being put on hold, leaving HR with only beta versions or in many cases no version at all of the vital tech needed.

Not soon after, SethMace was suddenly left without internet access from home, and only sporadic access from his university. With Prometheus leaving and ilh slipping steadily into inactivity, the role as Military Council became more a role of Military Commander, and it was a task Henck (aka Kamikazze) was more than capable of taking on.

While HR limped to try and recover from these blows, the universe was at war. [[FAnG]] and [[Dragons]] slightly on top. In the last days of the round, a FAnG HC managed to post his login details in a public channel, and soon after almost half of FAnG found themselves kicked from the ingame alliance. If this was his doing, or someone abusing his planets access after he posted his details noone will know, but in the end it resulted in Elysium stealing the victory.

=='''[[Round 10.5]]: The Awakening'''==
PAX.5 came around fast, and caught HR mostly by surprise. With Mistwraith the only active HC, too much had to be done, and too little time was left to do it in and the round started with more [[chaos]] than order in HR.

A crippled HC and a dwindling memberbase, HR still managed to hold our own in the start of the round, but as the round got underway, the various powerblocks were getting to us. Being neutral has more downs than ups, and we soon saw activity slump as members were faced with ever higher odds. The officers did their best to keep things afloat and we managed to cover many incommings, only suffering during the late night when we simply didn't have enough people online.

At this time, Misty was approached by ]LCH[ with suggestions of a merger for this round only. Both our alliances were struggling, and we were both small enough that we would manage to fit our members into the 100 member limit in the game. After some time discussing it with the command team, the merger was a fact, and [[FYTFO]] was formed. Right at this time, Epcylon was promoted to HC to reduce the workload on Misty.

The new partnership brought new activity to both HR and [[LCH]] and defence was again virtually unlimited. Since LCH already had taken sides in the war, HR entered the war on their side, against [[FAnG]], [[Phraktos]] and [[Mistu]] ([[FPM]]). By this time, FPM had too much of a gap for anyone to really be able to stop them, but FYTFO refused to roll over and die. For the remainder of the round, we defended nearly all reported incs on our members, often against staggering odds.

Towards the end, Phraktos broke with FAnG and Mistu, but it was too little too late, and their HC immediately broke down, leading to one of the most spectacular collapses in PA history. Phraktos went from #2 spot to #15 in 2 days, losing most of their members.

By the time of the Phraktos collapse, SethMace was back and [[Chaos]] started appearing on IRC with something resembling regularity again, although he still had much RL commitments to take care of. Suddenly HR had four semi-active HC instead of only Misty at the start of the round. With HC activity returning, new initiatives in order to spark interest in R11, FYTFO managed a decent #6 rank, with several top 15 gals flying the HR banner.

[[Chaos]]'s immense workload was shifted towards Freedom, who had already developed a basic Arbiter for HR but through HC instructions, was to implement this further with features designed by Seth 3 rounds ago. At this time, Epcylon announced that with Sethy and [[Chaos]] returning, he would have to step down from his newly gained HC position in order to take care of the master thesis he had allowed to gather dust for a year, and a new gf.

With Round10.5 fast becoming a distant memory, HR was left with a medium sized memberbase and the instant option to carry on as a dual entity with LCH or to once again go it alone. Due to the ingame 100 member limit, HC were reluctant to stagnant any possible future recruitment (and inturn prevent HR from regaining full strength). So HR parted ways with LCH who had helped them in so many ways over the round, (many thanks must go to players like Acers, Nitros, Remy and Zmeu).

An energetic recruitment frenzy began straight away (Click Here for an Example), Exode & Seth started work on enticing back many of HRs past-greats and before we knew it, 80 members were signed-up waiting for Round11 to start. With the brand new arbiter already online and accepting applications from members, R11 was being hyped as the round HR would achieve its greatest ingame success. Due to the semi-return of Fury (in the form of 1up), blocking en'mass was largely prevented. Thus Command were confident the arena was set for HR to wrong all our doubters (most predicting a #10 ranking, if that, finish for HR) and produce our best round to date...

.. Then as with all pre-round excitement, a hint of negativity would hinder our progress. Freedom's arbiter was not complete and due to RL issues, would not be ready for the new round.

=='''[[Round 11]]: A Legend Reborn'''==
Even without the new Arbiter by Freedom, HR started well. While pre-round recruitment was just the ticket to boost HRs size, the two weeks prior to start had degraded our size with inactivity and we started with 60 members. 10th and proud, HR began its Round11 campaign with hunger.

Something that was clear from the first few days, our Attacks were lacking and so Zo0f was semi-promoted as an advisor to MC. Together, Henck & Zo0f would revolutionise HR attacks and in turn boost our growth that would gradually set our path to the higher reaches of the Universe.

[[1up]] had recruited/ poached many of the 1337 from established alliances, [[WolfPack]] being the alliance seemingly hurt the most by this. This and the fact that 1up had brought back from hibernation many of the old-skool [[Fury]] Battlegroups, ensured they would be strong contenders for #1. After winning R10.5, [[FAnG]] were seen as 1ups main threat and thus, after 2/3 weeks of war, FaNG surprisingly & worryingly collapsed under the pressure of the new Universal Power. With [[1up]] out growing all competition, first signs of alliance cooperation between [[LCH]], [[VisioN]] & [[Mistu]] emerged (the highest challengers for #1).

Command activity was greatly improved for R11, HR had by far its most active BC team and its quality of members was also higher then ever before. However, HC activity was still an issue with [[Chaos]]'s RL once again conflicting with his activity and Misty for most of the round having to work long days.

After consistent targeting of [[WolfPack]] & [[ROCK]] Strongholds, HR had climbed to rank 6th. With [[NewDawn]] in 5th and ahead by 20million and [[Mistu]] in 4th ahead by 60million but with HRs growth being faster, the race was on. By this point, Zo0f had stepped down from his Attack Advisor position and Henck had also informed HC of his upcoming holiday. Hence, Jirikai and Teddy_Bear were promoted to the Military Council and would see out the rest of the round with Seth by motivating and organising HR military.

After a brief seat at the top of the Universal Rankings, [[LCH]] were knocked from #1 by 1up who had seen off all incomings from the un-official block of [[LCH]], [[VsN]] & [[Mistu]]. LCHs previous #1 ranking had also been pivotal for the rounds politics, as this un-intentionally dissolved the Blocks determination to destroy 1up. Each member of the block now looked down instead of up for their targets and this was highlighted best by LCH's attempt to out-roid [[1up]], by hitting lower ranked alliances. With alliances like [[ND]] avoiding 1up planets and also many of the top100 planets being gal-napped to 1up, the fate of the winning alliance was set; 1up would dominate from this point onwards.

Intelligence was important for HR now, they needed to know the best galaxies to hit based on ND concentrated planets and thanks to Rebels HC Intell Arbiter, HR had a useful technology to aid the war effort. With each passing night, ND's growth was slowing and HRs was increasing. However, HR wasn't just eyeing up 5th at this point, as Mistu (having had planets deleted for cheating) were no longer so far away; 4th was becoming a very attainable achievement.

With 2/3 weeks remaining, 1up had become double the size of the #2 ranked alliance LCH. HR were ranked 5th and were only a few million behind Mistu. With ND now dropping behind, HR turned its attention to Mistu planets and once again, our attack strategy and activity was superb, closing the gap as each day passed.

Around this time, gC & Neon had taken on the task of producing a New HR Arbiter for the next round. One that would be worthy of the HR name and automate so many of the systems that have traditionally been done by hand. The team were determined to get HR the arbiter its always deserved but more importantly, get it finished in time for Round12. Linking irc systems to the web arbiter, this new arbiter was lining up to be the Best in Planetarion.

The final week or so was a stressful time indeed. Not only were HR receiving incomings from both ND & Mistu but random waving of our biggest planets from 1up. Much praise must go to our night owl DC team, the likes of Mortis, Jirikai, Xain, Apoc, Teddy, Hume and Henck (as well as officers such as Rebel, WwW, Exode, Neon and even Misty & Seth!).

Teddy_Bear (who had been preparing attacks with Cara, Goxx & Seth since Henck stepped down) was having RL issues and this in turn was hindering his activity. With help from Grebe, Mistwraith, Rebel, Apoc and Henck (once he had returned), Seth made sure HRs military focus kept in line and depending on Uni rankings, would target ND or Mistu.

The final week was a battle to the end, infact it was the only real battle for ranking in the top10. It was a war on all fronts, even the recruitment one with each alliance recruiting anywhere they could, just to add 1 or 2million to their overall score.

After the Final Night, HR kept all fleets home for defence and made sure no members would suicide their fleets. With the rise of the sun came HRs rank of 4th Place by 9million - End of right? We wish! With only a few hours remaining and new Mistu recruitment, (alongside 2 HR members leaving our ranks ingame) cost us enough to drop behind Mistu by only a few 100k. The final hours were tense but thanks to two new recruits whose 72hour wait was over, we got back the rank we had worked so hard to achieve. You can view a final universe ranking of the last day Here.

With our pre-Round11 Goal fully met, every HR member could be proud of the hard work they had put in and be confident that Round12 would only increase our success.

To be completed....

=='''[[Round 12]]: The Edge of Darkness'''==
Sethy has been real lazy getting this one complete.

- Ill just paste what ive written so far:D
----
With HRs success of [[Round 11]] we knew that to match or better our 4th Rank would be that much more difficult. The element of surprise would be lost, alliances like [[ND]] & [[MISTU]] would not underestimate HR for fear of loosing rank to us again. Not only this but from an internal point of view, our members were of higher quality and so expected a better "service" from their alliance. It's human nature to want to better ones achievements, for Wolves the hunger is off the scale!

One issue HC were well aware of, was we wanted to really push attack organisation this round and this was something we feel we improved upon, however there were a few unforeseen defence issues. After the second week we lost one of our most important night owl DCs, Jirikai. Due to RL issues he was unable to maintain activity and the loss of him pushed a huge weight on the other DCs, it was a loss that we found hard to replace.

Politically, R12 was close to a carbon copy of [[Round 11]] and many alliances continued the trend of "trying" to go solo. From the off HR was top3 behind [[LCH]] & MISTU (who had the added strength of the [[Angels|Angels BG]]), previous winner [[1up]] had vowed to recruit no more then 60 players ingame and so their Univeral Rank was low to start, causing many alliances to overlook them and their public campaign of King Maker.

Externally for HR, there were 2 Key Moments in Round12, the first being ND joining forces with [[NoS]] & [[ToF]] to attack HR - Knocking us down to 4th rank behind ND. Previous to this, HR had been targetting ND and because ND were unable to handle our force alone, they persuaded others to aid their side. Ironically, had they planned it for any other night after this, they would have seen HR changing target to MISTU (as we were satisfied with NDs size below us) but with NDs dirty tactics, war had begun. For the first time in our history, we would witness underhand tactics (such as spamming our def bot, fake recall messages, impersonating HC) and a strong public campaign against us.

1up were very much pulling strings from day one and towards HR, both 1up & ND would play various propaganda games, most notably wrongly accusing HR & LCH of allying. However, HRs military campaign was flooding ND and from the 2nd day of war onwards, HR received little ND incomings, as most of their resources were spent defending against HR attacks. [[Insomnia]] played an important role over this period, as they would fight with HR against ND/NoS galaxies.

However, the war had stagnated both HR & NoS, mainly due to MISTU sneaking in after hours when our resources were low. ND approached HR and requested a cease fire to reclaim our lost roids and after discussing for a few days (giving enough time for HR to overtake ND in rankings;)), we agreed.

Unfortunately for MISTU, 1up & LCH had taken a fancy to their fat size and over the period of a few days of mass incomings, MISTU's round was over (not helped by the Angels leaving). By this point, 1up were looking big with the biggest average planet size although still ranking below the top3 (1st LCH, 2nd HR, 3rd ND).

The second key moment involved the bluffing of many alliances who had been neutral to the conflicts of the top5.

By mid round, 1up & LCH were firmly at war and from our point of view, it was a well balanced fight akin to HR & ND. Problems started to arrise when 1up began to recruit other alliances to their cause, with those alliances believing much of the false propaganda of an "enemy" block. With ND, ToF & Sin, 1up expanded their attack coverage.

ODDR

2010-11-27T10:26:10Z

JBG:

'''ODDR''' was formed by a small [[battlegroup]] of ex [[Hidden Agenda]] players. The founding [[HC]]s were Iae (retired and missed much), Greg, mct, Donar, and Heimdall. In round 35 they were joined by Enigma and repdeck and Drew were added to the HC team. Other former HCs include Crantor and PaBear from the first round when [[Rock]] joined with ODDR.

After [[1up]] closed the doors to it's HQ's after [[round 18]], and [[round 19]] in [[Newdawn]], aNgRyDuCk decided it was finally time to create the alliance he'd talked about creating for a number of rounds. After discussing this with [[Assassin]], [[Germania]], Ace, alexis, Arfy, and Sleepless, Conspiracy Theory was formed. with aNgRyDuCk, Germania, Alexis, Ace, and Sleepless filling out the High Council. It's original members included players from a lot of different alliances to include 1up, eXilition, LCH, Legion, DDK, Angels, and Fury, among others. Assassin went on to join the Planetarion Multihunters team and Arfy had real life commitments, so played as an alliance Officer.

[[Round 20]] was a battle between Conspiracy Theory, [[Destiny]], and [[Vengeance]] that went down to the last tick, with CT (having held the #1 spot for the last third of the round) emerging victorious and ultimately winning by roughly 3 million points over Destiny. CT is one of the few alliances to win its first round in Planetarion. CT has played every round since, bar [[round 23]], but although they have come close, notably in [[round 22]] and [[round 24]] they have not been able to repeat the success of their first round.

===Pre-Pax===

NewDawn, founded near the end of [[round 1]] by [[Sith]] & [[Stez]], has played every round of Planetarion and has often been represented in top blocks and rankings. ND's philosophy is "fun first" which has led to a strong and active community.

Through building a strong core in [[round 1]], ND became an elite alliance in [[round 2]] with the highest average score until the [[WaC]]-war. Cooperation with [[SK]] and [[F-Crew]] went wrong, the war was lost which left ND effectively dead.

In that period there was a power struggle between Coffee and Sith/Stez and the ND core decided to create a new alliance to be called 'Inexorabilis', in which some of the best players from all major alliances at the time would be involved . It seemed to have a bright future ahead and even before the end of round 2 there was active networking on forums & in channels. Unfortunately the attempt was undermined by traitors and with this failure, a great part of the old core decided to reinstitute ND, with people like [[Odoric]], [[Canker]], [[Sith]], [[Stew]] and [[Myrdhin]] in command.
This round was also the round when the ND battlecalc was created by Odoric. A downloadable, ace battlecalc which was used by 90% of all planetarion players, best compared to thrud's calc now.

Early [[round 3]] featured a good start but some old command folks went inactive near the end of the round and some of the new command (eg aviendha, ashknight) lacked loyalty, leaving for DoM (a legion recruitment alliance) and undermining ND's efforts. ND was involved in the big Round 3 war, whom our enemies were [[ReBorn]].

In [[round 4]], NewDawn tried setting up a recruitment alliance called Dust 2 Dawn, or D2D. This attempt was cut short after a few weeks when not enough recruits could be found and D2D couldn't exist as a separate entity.
Soem weeks into the round, many of the old HC went inactive due to real life. For quite some time, the HC was one person: [[Tsunde]]. New people helped out and got promoted to Senior Council (compare to executives in other alliances), including [[DigitalZero]], [[Hardball]], [[Jellinek]], [[Buly]], [[Riddim]], [[Myrdhin]] and later on [[Orange]] and El-Cura or [[cura]]. It took until the start of [[round 5]] until a new HC was fully formed. Recruitment was something the ND community focused on during round 4 and ND survived one of its worst rounds. With a new website, competent commanders & recruitment picking up, NewDawn was ready to go into round 5 as a real force once again.

In these days the second (but first successful) recruitment alliance of ND was created, called [[TheRising]]. TheRising was created to be able to recruit more people without compromising the security and it recruited quite a few people that later became part of the ND core.

The [[Furgion]] cartel dominated [[round 5]], forcing ND to cooperate with [[Xanadu]] with whom they had held good ties since r1. This cooperation allowed growth; mergers with [[ICD]] and [[YHQ]] added enough players and allowed ND to compete as a respectable power once again.

[[Round 6]] was coloured by the entrance of [[Colcarpenter]], former [[YHQ]] leader. Colcarp left ND later due to differences with the old ND core, but he remains a positive influence in ND's history. Around this time [[Barrow]] and [[Shooter16]] joined the command. Politically round 6 was the round of [[FoS]], [[XeTa]] and [[FLTV]]. ND were a major player in Fusion of Six, or 'FoS' in an attempt to break the power of [[FLTV]] who were finally beaten by [[FoS]]-[[XeTa]], ending the worst period of stagnation in PA history. After that, [[FoS]]-[[XeTa]] cooperation ended to prevent further stagnation, allowing [[FLTV]] to make a resurgence.

===PaX & Beyond===

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.

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.

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.

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.

[[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.

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. During [[Round 22]] and [[Round 23]] with the addition of new members and a firmly in place core of dedicated members NewDawn once again enjoyed playing the game while still earning the respect of the other alliances. Mainly for there tactics and well trained officers. Most notably [[Kar]], [[Harv]], [[Dracula]] and [[Merlin]]

With the Rebuilding of its members NewDawn won [[Round 24]] and [[Round 25]], in both cases narrowly beating [[Urwins]] and [[Conspiracy]]. although hard fought and fun these rounds would prove to be a source of life for [[NewDawn]] and [[Planetarion]] alike. This would come in the form of something no alliance had yet to do. War and public talking about it openly. NewDawn had indefinably opened the door to its own golden-age and a new era for [[Planetarion]]

[[Round 26]] was more or less like the long loved series Babylon 5 this by far has been the most action pact round anyone can remember in years. [[Planetarion]] was alive with a buzz of new players alliances were firmly in place to try and thwart NewDawns run at a 3 in a row wining streak... to this day no one alliance has pulled it off. Known only as the illusive "Hat trick" NewDawn would ultimately find this round its most exciting yet. With enimies all around it held together through the hole round as a firmly placed hoard of power. Even after the joining of a new Alliance and and older one NewDawn still earned the respect of everyone in Planetarion. "The Denial Wars" as it became known to many was a round filled with great fun tactics and the first ever Public Videos Promoting themselves as well as a media battle to boot. In the end the two most responsible for this were [[Kenny]] of [[Denial]] and [[Dracula]] of NewDawn both veterans of the game both created a buzz within the community at large and in there alliances. NewDawns videos total rocked Denials and led to a huge moral boost to all war tired players.

[[Round 27]] More alive than ever with the current news about planetarion as a whole has been quite calm several wars and skirmishes have developed. Newdawn has held fast keeping the hoards of incomings at bay while defending and growing although this round is a top spot again for newdawn the golden age is far from over.

[[Round 28]] and [[Round 29]]: NewDawn is once again playing.

[[Round 30]] through [[Round 35]]:

[[Round 36]] and [[Round 37]]: NewDawn went through a change in High Council after years of [[SteInMetz]] stepped down allowing a few changes to be done. With a few other HC playing inactive, [[DigitalZero]] became the new Politics HC, [[DragonKing]] becomming Def HC, and Buly doing a bit of Mil. They currently remain a top 5 alliance.

== [[Round 32]] ==

Apprime was started in [[round 32]] by [[elviz]] and [[Cardinal]], both taking with them a respectable number of experienced players from different alliances. Their initial goal was to build a dominating alliance, by taking advantage of its experienced memberbase. They quickly dominated the rankings, and their [[fortress galaxies]] had proven to be unhittable by one alliance alone. This was a direct outcome of Apprime's persistant work on covering all incomings at all costs. Eventually it reached the point where no alliance targeted Apprime, because it was impossible to land on their planets. Apprime then had the luxury of not getting hostile incoming fleets, and could focus all firepower on attacking. Apprime grew at such a rate, that it was obvious they would be impossible to stop if no action was taken. Around tick 450, a block was formed, involving alliances such as [[Ascendancy]], [[Newdawn]], [[Conspiracy Theory]], [[P3nguins]], [[Easy Company]] and at times [[Violent Realm]]. Only [[Rock]] sided with Apprime, although they played their own game most of the round.

The block started a huge offensive on Apprime, and due to the block agreements, this also meant Apprime would get no in galaxy defense from either of the alliances. Apprime were fighting with their claws to maintain its lead, but against extremely unfavorable odds, they were slowly losing roids, and their memberbase was getting worn out by being online at night to cover incomings. Eventually, [[Conspiracy Theory]] and [[P3nguins]] passed Apprime. However Apprime had maintained decent value, thanks to [[salvage]] from a number of crashing fleets of the opposition.

Around tick 650, with Apprime on third place, [[Ascendancy]] left the block, followed by [[Violent Realm]] and [[Newdawn]] around tick 850. It quickly turned out to be very hard for the remaining alliances to target Apprime without crashing. Apprime now had little incomings, mostly thanks to having 20,000 less roids then the two alliances above. Because of this, Apprime could now focus on taking down its competition for #1 alliance. Ascendancy, being content with securing a number of Top planets in the war, assisted Apprime in its targeting for a short period. Apprime managed to grow extremely fast, quickly closing the gap. [[Conspiracy Theory]], [[P3nguins]] and [[Newdawn]] tried a last offensive, but were unable to effectively target Apprime for more then a few days before giving up again. With this, Apprime maintained a steady growth and could secure the Alliance win, despite a few planet closures in the end.

Apprime had proven itself, against extremely unfavorable odds they had managed to hold up on their own, mostly thanks to superior defense efficiency. However, the alliance win was expensive. Their memberbase was exhausted from the effort it took to secure this win, and would walk into [[round 33]] weakened.

== [[Round 33]] ==

Apprime were considered to be a competitor for alliance win in [[round 33]] , and quickly got a lead on the others. Again Apprime were in a position where they needed to prove themselves, but being in a terrible condition, they did not handle the incs as well as the previous round.
Later this round, they were forced to fight [[Ascendancy]] for the alliance win, but [[Ascendancy]] proved to be much more rested and fit for fight. In the end, Apprime backed off from the competition and focused on preparing for round 34.

== [[Round 34]] ==

Initially undersized Apprime concentrated themselves in core galaxies which became [[roid-fat]] early on. The difficulty of roiding these galaxies separately led to a simultaneous attack by a number of alliances on all Apprime galaxies, resulting in heavy roid loss. Despite this roid loss, and further losses at points throughout the round Apprime were able to move steadily up the ranks and, allied to Ascendancy and [[VisioN]], they moved into the #1 spot towards the end of the round, a position which they held until ticks stopped.

== [[Round 35]] ==

After a large number of Ascendancy players joined Apprime, Apprime were most people's favourites for the round. Defeating [[Euphoria]] early on and managing to held off a block successfully despite not being at their best Apprime were comfortable winners of this round.

== [[Round 36]] ==

A smaller Apprime again amassed a large number of roids and placed in various [[fence galaxies]] looked difficult to roid. However with various alliances disgruntled with Apprime's actions and comments throughout the round they found themselves heavily hit by almost all the other active alliances in the game, the exception being the allied [[DLR]] which led to virtually all their top planets being heavily roided.

== [[Round 37]] ==

Apprime entered this round as one of the main contenders but having faced incs from first [[Osiris]] early on and later [[Evo]] and CT as well, after App joined up a block with Asc and ND, Apprime were unable to gain enough roids to mount an effective challenge for the top spot in the final days of the round. This was also due to ND changing sides and hitting Apprime with the other three opposing alliances for almost a full week some time after the midpoint in the round.

=Pre-Round Announcements=

==Jagex Buys PA==
Shortly after the end of [[Round 37]] it was [[Jagex Purchases Planetarion|announced]] that [http://www.jagex.com/ Jagex] had purchased Planetarion.

==Changes for Round 38==

===Alliance Points System (APS)===

For this round, we're going to trial a secondary system as a second way of scoring [[alliance]]s. This will in no way influence the official ranking, but will be more a reflection of an alliance's comparative influence. When an alliance does something to gain points, the points are calculated as follows:

Earnt points = base_points*target_alliance_counted_score/your_alliance_counted_score

This means that smaller alliances get a bigger bonus for attacking

Currently, there are 4 ways for an alliance to gain points:

1) Landing an attack<br>
If an alliance lands an attack on another alliance, they get 10 points. If several alliance members land in the same tick on the same planet, they still only get 10 points.

2) Stealing asteroids<br>
Related to 1), if an alliance steals [[asteroid]]s, then they get 1 point per asteroid.

3) Getting an attacker to recall<br>
If an attacker recalls, any alliances defending against that attack fleet that are allied with the target planet's alliance get 10 points. This means the target planet's alliance and any alliances allied to it. This is counted once per defending alliance.

4) Defending against an attacker<br>
If an attacker lands an attack, all defenders present that are a member of the defending planet's alliance or any of its allies get 30 points. Again, this is only counted once per defending alliance.

The data is stored to make it possible to give alliances a breakdown on how they get their points and this will be available at the end of the round. During the round, it may be displayed in the alliance.

Alliance points will be dumped to the alliance_listing.txt file

===Wave Amplifiers and Wave Distorters===

[[Structure#Wave_amplifier|Wave amplifiers]] and [[Structure#Wave_distorter|wave distorters]] have been reduced in price from 2000 of each [[resource]] to 1300 of each resource and 1200 of each resource respectively. Also, wave distorters now only cost 900 construction units to build.

There is also now information to be gained from having distorters.

If you don't block the scan, then the following applies:

Chance to discover you've been scanned = ( your distorters / (their amplifiers * 10) * 100 ) %

In other words, if you have almost as many distorters as they have amplifiers, you have a 1 in 10 chance of seeing you've been scanned.

If you do block a scan, the following applies:

Chance to discover the type of scan = ( your distorters / (their amplifiers * 3) * 100 ) %

Chance to discover their co-ordinates = ( your distorters / (their amplifiers * 20) * 100 ) %

These are calculated independently. This means that you have at least a 1 in 3 chance of seeing the scan type, and at least a 1 in 20 chance of seeing their co-ordinates.

===Miscellaneous Changes===

-Merged fleets / Missions pages<br>
-Factories more expensive to build<br>
-Alliance limit set to 80<br>
-[[Structure|Constructions]] now worth 200 [[value]] not 1500 value each<br>
-Galaxy status now shows eta reported<br>
-[[NAP]]s renamed "[[Ally|Allied]]" as it better-reflects the relationship between the alliances<br>
-Login question now not asked every time you login (approximately 1 in 3 times)<br>
-Alliance defence now able to specify classes for each incoming<br>
-[[Waves]] page adjusted to remove "search" tab<br>
-Last active details now shown on alliance members page<br>
-Signup now displays more user-friendly URLs<br>
-Credits cheaper<br>
-#bootcamp created<br>
-new T&C / etc.

=Round Summary=

Widely regarded as the worst round in PA history, any actual summary of events here would probably cause anyone reading them to never ever, ever play PA. As such this section shall not be updated and Round 38 shall be stricken from the records as a minor misunderstanding between various pateam members.

'''Wolfpack''' was first developed as a [[battlegroup]] in [[Round 2]] by [[Fred]]. Consisting of various [[Legion]] and [[Fury]] members, during the later stages of the round they became one of the most effective attacking groups around. WP proceeded into [[Round 3]] as an extremely strong attack group within [[The Triad]]. Following internal problems within Legion in the final stages of the round Wolfpack was founded as an alliance by Fred and [[Biggdogg]] out of Legion members. They [[ally|allied]] with Fury and together the duo attacked the remaining Legion planets for the rest of the round in a massive, but inconclusive, war.

Going into [[Round 4]] Wolfpack recruited some of the best players in the game from various alliances such as [[TPE]]. They allied with [[BlueTuba]] and [[Fury]] to form the [[WTF]] [[block]]. Initially coming under huge pressure from the other significant alliances in the game in the [[VeX]] block and [[NoS]]/[[CELL]] the WTF block gradually slipped down the rankings, with prominent [[HC]] such as BiggDogg going inactive. After Fred lost control of WP to newer members such as [[Jonka]] Wolfpack merged with [[Out of Order]] and changed name to The Wolfpack Order. Although the political situation improved for WTF WPO decided to ally with NoS/CELL towards the end of the round and Fury moved back towards Legion.

Upon returning from a hiatus Biggdogg led most of the original split back to Legion. Many old members of the original Wolfpack regard the alliance as a group that illegitimately uses their name after their return to [[Legion]] . This group went on to play every round up until [[round 14]] with varying success, notably controlling many of the top rankings in [[round 6]] as part of the [[FoS]] block. This led some to claim an unofficial victory from Round 6 after they ended up with a higher overall score then NoS. The "post-legion" Wolfpack was controlled by |Darky|, Rabbagast, Catwoman and Caliban.

In [[round 21]] Wolfpack returned to win their first [[PAX]] round. They disbanded again following this round.

== Information ==

Round 6 saw the introduction of [[race]]s.

==Round Summary==

'''Round 6''' began with the widespread feeling through the universe that [[Furgion]] should be prevented at all costs from being allowed to stagnate the game as they had done in three out of the four previous rounds. A new [[alliance]], [[Deus Ex Machina]], emerged with the goal of ensuring that nobody was able to stagnate the game again as had been done. [[Deus]] took its members from many different groups, but a large number were ex-[[BlueTuba]]. Another new alliance, [[Titans]], [[Creation of Titans Announcement|split off]] from [[Legion]]. This occurred primarily due to dissatisfaction on behalf of many of the members, who had remained behind in Legion after the [[Wolfpack]] split, with how the return of Wolfpack members to the fold was handled, as well as issues over the choice of [[Fury]] ahead of [[Elysium]] in the latter stages of [[Round 5]]. Initially Titans were set to join Deus, who had [[ally|allied]] with [[ND]] and [[hirr]], but with many strong links still in place with Legion, especially among [[Joy of Villainy]], the Titans group [[Round 6 Titans Pre-Round Announcement|re-allied Legion]], leaving Deus, before the round started. This led to [[Agamemnon]] [[Agamemnon Leaves Titans|leaving Titans]] in order to join Deus, where he became the lynchpin of their war machine for the round to come.

After this Deus, ND and hirr looked for allies elsewhere. They found these in [[NoS]], [[Wolfpack]] and [[CELL]], joining together to form [[FoS]], Fusion of Six, which later became Fusion of Seven with the addition of [[Guild]]. [[FoS]] aligned themselves with [[Xeta]], consisting of [[Xanadu]], [[Elysium]], [[TFD]] and [[Silver]], and prepared to take on Fury, Legion, Titans, [[ViruS]] and [[ToT]], [[FLTTV]]. Although FLTV was highly organised they quickly discovered they were vastly outnumbered in a universe where whole [[cluster]]s were dominated by FoS/Xeta. However, due to FLTV's organisation, they had set up large [[roid]] farms in order to boost their growth rates and their gals rose to the top of the rankings quickly. FoS and Xeta, instead of going after these top gals focused on pounding on the mid ranking galaxies. After initial debates within FLTV over whether to target Xanadu or Deus the block, under pressure from Legion to do so, went after Xanadu. Nonetheless the majority of FLTV galaxies steadily lost ground leading to their top gals becoming isolated. FoS/Xeta then switched their targeting towards the big FLTV gals who found themselves lacking sufficient support to hold them off. FLTV galaxies were methodically stripped of their roids and fell down the rankings as FoS and Xeta rose past them.

At this time both FoS and Xeta began eyeing each other, neither wishing to see the other block victorious and with Deus having their declared goal of avoiding stagnation. Hostilities between FLTV and FoS began to wind down at this time leading to Xeta pre-empting FoS and [[Round 6 Xeta Announcement|announcing the cessation of all agreements with Deus]], hoping to isolate them from the rest of their block. The FoS block in return went to war with Xeta, with alliances such as Guild [[Guild_declares_war_on_XeTa|declaring so on AD]], and contacts organised between FLTV and FoS led to both groups targeting Xeta. A notable exception here was the NoS/WP/CELL section of FoS which despite declaring war against Xeta sat back, partly due to large numbers of shared galaxies, and avoided out and out hostilities. Control of galaxies at this time was a key element in the progress of the war, with many galaxies split down the middle in terms of memberbase.

With the pressure off FLTV they grew rapidly in the last weeks of the round, tagging up their galaxies as [NOTDEAD], their [[Round 6 FLTV Attack on Storebo|destruction]] of [[Storebo]] of [[Elysium]], then #1 planet, being a particularly noteworthy event. Deus came under heavy fire and Xeta, especially, lost many of their top ranking galaxies. Silver disbanded under the intense pressure they came under and [[Round 6 Elysium Announcement|merged into Elysium]]. As the round came to a close the top galaxy rankings were controlled by NoS and Wolfpack primarily, and FoS more generally. The round was not a decisive victory for any particular alliance though. While the NoS/WP [[Dragons]] [[Round 6 5:24|galaxy]] finished #1, Xanadu, more specifically, [[LDK]] had the #1 planet, [[sliekas]]. They had sacrificed their other planets in order to ensure that sliekas finished as #1 and accomplished this in style with a memorable rearguard action. Given Deus' control of political events during the round and the re-emergence of FLTV at a time when FoS and Xeta were becoming exhausted it would be difficult to predict with accuracy what might have happened if the round continued. All in all, Round 6 went down as one of the more interesting rounds in Planetarion history.

===Round 6 History by [[lokken]]===

====Prologue====

Round 5 was a largely one sided affair. Fury, Wolfpack, BlueTuba, Elysium and Legion had blocked relentlessly and won the round with weeks to spare. However, victory came at a price for this strong block. BlueTuba disbanded mid-round under the weight of losing members to larger alliances in the group; Elysium and Wolfpack became politically marginalised as the strength of the relationship between Sid of Fury and Biggdogg of Legion became apparent, cannibalising their allies; members of Legion's own ranks walked to form Titans in disgust at the alliance's renewed corralling with Fury. It was this very discontentment, coupled with Xanadu's desire to gain revenge after a bitter defeat that shaped the very nature of round 6. What followed was arguably one of the most explosive and relentless rounds in Planetarion history.

====The Protagonists====

=====FLTV – Fury, Legion, Virus, Titans=====

Arguably led by Fury, this group was the remnants of the winning block from the previous round. Titans were widely expected to oppose Fury, but due to their ties with Legion and battle groups such as Joy as Villainy, ultimately walked away from a previously agreed relationship with a new alliance, Deus Ex Machina.

With two top alliances in Fury and Legion, a solid middle tier alliance in Virus and a small group of elite players in Titans, FLTV were arguably the strongest block and favourites at the start of round 6.

=====Xeta – Xanadu, Elysium, The Frying Dutchmen (TFD), Silver (Ag)=====

Xeta was Xanadu's chosen vehicle for reclaiming the Planetarion throne. Despite defeat in round 5, Xanadu were still a mighty alliance, particularly with their LDK and [[BULL]] battle groups. This allowed them to retain their capacity and expertise to stage the formidable wave attacks that won them round 4 so spectacularly. They were joined by a sister alliance, Silver and with a strong Dutch contingent, they were able to persuade TFD to join them Elysium, cast out from the Fury and Legion fold, found new strength and influence with their new partners. But most importantly, this allowed them to have a shot at revenge after being cannibalised by Fury and Legion during round 5's extended stagnation period.

=====FoS (Fusion of Six) – Deus, hirr, NewDawn, Wolfpack, Novus Ordo Seclorum, CELL=====

While Deus was arguably the most influential force within this grouping, FoS were less tightly knit than the other groupings. With such strong forces in the universe, it can be said that these alliance were together more out of necessity than any kind of particular love for each other.

In Deus, this block possessed the unknown quantity of round 6. Led by Rob, jester, AlbinoSquirrel, Lokken, Patrician and eventually QueenDax and Agamemnon, it could be said that their leadership was made up of malcontents and people who had done well in leading smaller alliances but who had never really led at the very highest levels of the game. This was also reflected in the membership – their ranks were largely disconnected players from a number of alliances and a large number of former Tubas. In the lead up to the round, they had made their intentions clear: to rid the universe of the stagnation of round 5, for their own benefit. This was accompanied by a widespread propaganda campaign on Alliance Discussions, something that would continue for the course of the round. Deus were closely tied to hirr and NewDawn, as the three alliances closely shared the same philosophy and outlook on the game. Patrician (Tuba), Lokken (Tuba), Barrow (NewDawn) and Duke Leto (hirr) had always been on good terms, thus it made sense for the three alliances to stick together.

However, for them to have any success against such formidable powers, three alliances was never enough. Wolfpack, NoS and CELL needed friends for their own reasons – survival and the ability to fly under the radar and accumulate asteroids. Wolfpack, while a name long established in the game were effectively under new management. With the original Wolf Pack returning to Legion's command in round 5 and a history of opposing Xanadu, they found themselves frowned upon by the two other major groupings. NoS, led by Dingo were in no mood to be shuffled around and play second fiddle to substantially larger alliances. CELL, although weaker than NoS or Wolfpack, found themselves in a similar position.

====The War on FLTV====

The beginning of the round was characterised by a universal war on FLTV, with Xeta and FoS determined to prevent a repeat of round 5. Titans not joining with Deus was viewed as a major blow to this effort. The only silver lining for Deus was their gain of Agamemnon, a highly capable BC who had helped to achieve a galaxy win for Legion in round 5. Despite Xeta and FoS' numerical advantage the start of the war was surprisingly even. FLTV had built their alliance on a large number of private galaxy strongholds, making them extremely resilient and able to ride out large amounts of incoming.

FLTV built their early success on these strongholds with their leading players able to easily effect defence to their own planets. On the other end, they actively went after major Xanadu strongholds, viewing them as the most dangerous force against them. This proved to be highly effective, leading them to hold most of the top 20 galaxies within the first few weeks. The logic behind this was simple: if the strongholds held out, ultimately their opposition would break, effecting the opportunity for the classic Fury mop-up operation.

In the face of this, Xanadu and Deus used a long-term strategy to turn the round in their favour. FLTV planets outside the strongholds and in Xeta/FoS dominated clusters became the focus of their attention. By shredding vulnerable FLTV planets which were more difficult to defend, they would end up removing any remaining support to FLTV's key galaxies. While time consuming partly due to the nature of the task and partly due to the heroic resistance of FLTV (Fury in particular), this strategy ultimately proved to be successful, putting Xeta in a position where they could mount their famous wave attacks and pick off top Fury galaxies, roiding them to the ground. Some of the top FLTV galaxies were not targeted initially due to the fact that Shiva and Betrayer of Hope, members of one of the biggest XETA galaxies Silvercity and Casablanca, had organised Galaxy NAP's with FLTV to protect certain XETA and FLTV galaxies from all three blocks at the beginning of the game. This deal was perceived as existing primarily for the benefit of various HC galaxies, something which proved highly contentious and led to a number of people joining the FoS block after the later XETA/FoS split.

This war also included some somewhat cynical play by the HC of Deus Ex Machina. On discovering that one of their members, Killmark was cheating, they threw him out of the alliance prior to him being discovered by the multihunters. Being fond of propaganda, they then used the opportunity to attack the large number of FLVT planets effecting reprisals on Killmark, thus making gains at the cost of a few illegitimate planets being thrown out of their alliance.

====Operation Barghest====

However, with FLTV fighting a losing battle and failing to make inroads on Xanadu, they trained their sights on Deus as a last ditch attempt to salvage a chance of victory in round 6. Focussing on Deus had actually been a considered option for FLVT at the beginning of the round, under the code name “Operation Barghest”. Zhil and Meth of Fury were behind the plan, having suggested that a political decapitation would be the most appropriate way of dismantling the enemy. The idea was that with Deus out of the picture, the efforts between Xeta and FoS would have been far less co-ordinated, making it easier to take them down. This plan was ultimately rejected, with Legion command particularly insistent that the block focussed on the biggest military threat first.

The implementation of Barghest trained a large part of the FLTV war machine solely on Deus and would provide Deus with its first real military test. The battle was bitterly fought, focussing most firepower within a short time period in the middle of the night, to overwhelm not just Deus' defence fleets but their capacity to actually process what was coming at them. Led by Lokken, Agamemnon and Queendax, Deus mounted a frantic defence, calling in political favours with newbie alliances to get defence fleets and sending counters to pin their attackers down.

A bad defeat would have ended Deus' hopes there and then, but Barghest had come too late for FLVT and Deus were able to stave off the attack. The battle was effectively ended by a failed Legion attack on Patrician and Lokken's galaxy, with Legion unable to send their full complement of fleets and Deus able to divert fleets from planets that were being hit earlier that night to defend one of their strongholds. Surviving such an onslaught proved to galavanise the Deus ranks and for the first time gave the rank and file real belief that they could be successful while achieving their anti-stagnation aims.

====FoS switch sides====

As the war turned decisively in Xeta/FoS' favour, the Deus HC were agonising over their next move. Opinion was massively split over what to do after FLTV were defeated. Often the HC would believe they could win one day only to conclude they were politically doomed the next. One point of view was that relieving any pressure on Fury would ultimately lead to them coming back to win and that given round 5, any Fury success should be prevented at all costs. Ultimately, the opinion to gun for Xanadu and their Xeta block prevailed, viewing a war with Xeta as only a matter of time. Co-ordinating the war with Xanadu had been highly contentious, with regular disagreements over targets, strategy and NAP breaches between the FoS and Xeta blocks. Conscious of their weak position, Deus propaganda targeting Fury waned in this period and began (some might say surprisingly given their reputation) to take a slightly more objective tack.

Politics in Planetarion were about to shift dramatically, as the Deus command viewed close working relations with Fury as their only path to defeating Xanadu, and ultimate victory. Deus' warming relations to Fury did not go unnoticed in Xeta and FoS. Many within FoS voiced discontentment that Deus might become closer to Fury than the rest of the block, while Xeta sensed an act of treachery was in the offing.

With Deus on the verge of persuading its block to side with FLVT, Xeta took the initiative and publicly served a 72 hour notice to terminate their NAP with Deus. This was an attempt to isolate Deus from the rest of FoS and it partially worked, with NoS, Wolfpack and CELL holding back from declaring war on Xanadu, making a conscious decision to let Deus take some damage before taking sides. ND and hirr immediately declared war on Xanadu on principle, despite Leto and Barrow harbouring their own doubts about Deus' plan for success.

Patrician, disgusted that his HC alliance colleagues would choose to work with Fury, left Deus in protest. His parting shot to Fury (and in particular their Executive, Cryptic) was to release information from the BlueTuba archive suggesting that Fury had manipulated the sign up procedure in round 3 and shared accounts to give them a favourable cluster position. This resulted in a bitter debate on Alliance Discussions as to Fury's credibility whenever they accused Xanadu (and in particular, LDK) of cheating.

However, this schism went beyond mere alliance politics; whole galaxies were affected in their alliance makeup. The 72 hour period involved many in Xeta and FoS galaxies shifting alliances to back the block they thought that was going to win and ensure political unity in their galaxies. Ultimately, Xanadu was probably the biggest benefactor of this process. With exchanges between Deus and Xanadu already occurring in violation of the 72 hour cooling off period, the second war of round 6 was ready to begin.

====The war on Xeta====

Xanadu once more hit the ground running, going straight for Deus as a quick kill would effectively end the round. It therefore came as no surprise to see Deus sustain heavy losses in the early stages of the round, with Deus having to work overtime to keep their alliance and their block in one piece. NoS and Wolfpack were content to sit back and watch Deus take the hits in the early stages, knowing that a weakened Deus would only strengthen any claim they could make to winning the round. As the war progressed, their involvement gradually increased but Deus' close co-operation with Fury had effectively ended any good relations beyond a NAP within the FoS block.

Fury were a major benefactor from the war on Xeta. While they had lost a lot of roids, they had kept their fleets and were far more resilient than in previous rounds, having learned from their hard beating in round 4. The chance to finally get at Xanadu raised spirits in the FLVT ranks and under their new banner of [NOTDEAD] they had become a viable military force once more. Indeed, the Deus HC (many of whom had worked closely with Fury and Legion in the past) felt more at home working with Fury, as both alliances were totally committed to war against Xanadu. With Xanadu being the most effective military force, FoS and FLVT were forced into a strategy of waging a long compaign against them, using their numbers to wear them down.

It was at this point in the round that Agamemnon, the Deus HC responsible for Battle Command came into his own. In Agamemnon, Deus had the benefit of a military leader who despite having a fiery temper, was able to identify the weaknesses in the Xanadu military machine and control his forces with a phenomenal level of commitment. Slowly but surely, FLVT and FoS were able to turn around the war, particularly with Fury once more having sufficient income to build competitive fleets and Deus scrambling one last effort to take their battered alliance over the finishing line.

====Endgame====

With the war settled and most of Deus command suffering from exhaustion and burn out the round turned its focus on the race for the biggest planet. Arguably there two main contenders for this spot: sliekas of LDK and Drivo of Deus, who had benefited from a reasonable galaxy in terms of politics to move into contention. FLVT and FoS consequently turned their fire solely on sliekas and LDK, however LDK were prepared to sacrifice everything to make sure their planet stayed in the #1 position. Ultimately, LDK ended up sacrificing their entire wing and whoever they could get to help from Xanadu to prop up sliekas, viewing it as a matter of pride. This made sliekas near impossible to roid and resulted in forcing Fury and Deus to give up due to the unsustainable cost of mounting attacks.

The galaxy race was largely considered a foregone conclusion. The [[Round 6 5:24|leading galaxy]] (Dragons) was a largely WP/NoS stronghold, enjoying a formidable lead having not been a priority target in both major wars and benefiting from the political protection afforded by FoS. As such, no attempt was ever made to unseat them from their position.

The last week of the round was largely uneventful, with only low level mopping up activity taking place as most were looking forward to the round ending and returning to some sense of normality after a punishingly intense and long round. Fury did attempt to attack Drivo on the last day as they viewed him as a fencesitter, but they were thwarted by a server failure which prevented them from launching and landing in time before the round ended.

This left the result of round 6 as one of contention and being somewhat inconclusive. While Xanadu had the top planet, their alliance had been laid waste, while NoS and WP held the largest galaxy by largely sitting out wars and lacked any significant influence over political and military proceedings. Arguably the the Deus/hirr/ND group can claim victory as the one that was the most the dominant having defeated the two greatest Planetarion alliances and beaten stagnation while holding several top ranks and galaxies, but without a #1 rank in galaxy or planet, this remains a point of dispute. It is this level of complexity that defined round 6, which is widely regarded amongst Planetarion's more experienced players as a one of the finest rounds to have ever been played.

====Consequences of round 6====

At the end of the round, Deus chose to disband. This was largely because the HC felt that their aims had been achieved and simply that after a period of extended activity, they were simply not up to taking on such levels of responsibility. The majority of Deus HC ended up in Legion and Fury, indicating their preferences based on who they had worked with in the previous round. This also had the consequence of many Deus players joining them in these alliances, tipping round 7 heavily in Fury and Legion's favour before the round had even started.

=== Round 6 history of the Ðragonlands (5:24) From [[Jurgen]] ===

Before round start Jurgen and lizardking decided to make a galaxy of their own under the flag of Wolfpack with a Ðragons oriented theme. This galaxy was gathered from a number of different places and there were no players with high-profile histories in it. The players brought in were placed into alliances, first in Wolfpack (mainly), GLX and NoS and then later also in Xanadu in order to fight for a high rank. The GC of the galaxy, Jurgen, decided and organized a high percentage of the galaxy attacks in order to prevent any mistakes or failed raids and friendly fire. Planets ingal were only allowed to attack with attacks set by a galaxy-member.

During the initial days of the round 5:24 began to campaign to create a strong cluster alliance [5upreme]. With everyone except FLTV gals being friendly it was quite easy to map resistance in cluster. Cluster 5 turned out to be one of the toughest clusters, containing 2 FLTV stronghold galaxies and 1 support galaxy, and with few other organised non-FLTV galaxies. As protection came to a close Ðragonlands was ranked #7, the Legion stronghold galaxy, 5:16, containing military officers such as Xavi and Rids was #9 and Arfa's stronghold Fury galaxy 5:12 #11. When FoS and Xeta started their 'clear your cluster' campaign Ðragonlands went to war. The main target was 5:16, and they remained so for 7 consecutive days. Although they attempted to fight back, with assistance from 5:12, they proved unable to triumph. After those 7 days 5:16 was quite dead and targeting was switched to 5:12. The war ended after 2 weeks of constant fighting, when everyone was down. 5:16 took the heaviest beating ending up rank 230 and dying away. 5:12 was rank 184 and Ðragonlands dropping to an all time low of #168. After that Ðragonlands ran attacks twice a day, a real galaxy attack every morning at 6:55 CET and day raids for fleets left home and/or pulled during the day time.

When the dust settled on the first few weeks of the round the galaxy went out roiding intensively and in the ensuing days not a single real attack targeted 5:24. The cluster alliance, 5upreme, became the strongest cluster alliance, and the galaxy itself became the fattest gal by far and later also rose to #1 in the score rankings. At one point many of the players in 5:24 had twice the roids that the galaxy in second place had. After it was announced that the round would end in 2 weeks the galaxy decided to keep fleets home at night-time, defend when needed and cease attacking. Later they realized that there was only 1 galaxy (Silvercity) in the top 10 that wasn't present in the Ðragons BG channel #dragonlands. Jurgen personally decided not to participate in the competition for #1 planet. At the time it was common and accepted to farm roids from friends. Jurgen decided that he didn't want to waste his time farming his friends in order to get personal glory and turned down at least three dozen offers of free roids.

Behind the scenes FLTV had asked for retals or permission to launch on 5:24 a number of times. LDK also wanted to attack the galaxy at this point but overall relations to Xanadu were strong due to the presence of a couple of very good friends to Ðragonlands in the Xanadu high command, who held LDK in check. FLTV talked about and threatened to launch on 5:24 frequently and most of Wolfpack thought that they would launch a heavy assault during the very last days, but the galaxy was simply too big to attack by this stage and they had massive numbers of decent fleets on standby. Only a few fleets were launched in the end and those few attacks were defended by 137 fleets of 1337 ships as a show of strength.

Before the end of round the ingal NoS members in fact left their alliance due to arguments they had with Dingo, leaving the only alliance tag in the galaxy name as [Wolfpack].

=== Round 6 history From [[Marduk]] ===

Between the rounds [[FLTTV]] further known as [[Furgion]] set up their gals well. Five members of each ally (as a maximum) were placed in a gal to prevent that a single gal absorbing all defence from an ally. Signup and the start of the round was running as we prepared for.
But after 2 weeks of building up and preparing for the first strikes almost all Furgion gals received heavy incoming and lost most of their roids. What happened was that fighting against 11 allies was proven nearly impossible. We were left with the chance of working hard to get at least some of our galaxies into ranking.

Suddenly, some weeks before end of round 6 [[XeTa]] and [[FoS]] declared war on each other. This was a diplomatic disaster for XeTa which declared war on FoS first. At this time FLTV was back in the game. With FoS as our new 'partner' we took down nearly all XeTa gals before havoc. The high amount of XeTa gals dropping down the ranks gave free slots for our own gals. ToT managed to get at least 2 gals into t20 ranking which was a great success.FLTV learned that we needed to communicate better and concentrate on r7. One of the highlights in preparing for the new round, ViruS and ToT linked their irc-servers and set up joined command channels for the new round. We are well prepared for r7 !

RaH announcement

JBG:

'''Official Reduco (RaH fs) Announcement''' posted by [[Petru]]

I've been watching this night unfold (to my distaste, as I have to wake up in 4 hours now fs :/) with interest, as have my alliance command staff. This has merely become the extension of a decision we made during the night of the 'The Consortium' affair, pertaining to one of our allies.

On reflection of tonights events, I and the Council of Reduco have decided on the following:

1) To serve official notice to [[Titans]] that we hereby cut the previous alliance we had. My own personal reason beind the behaviour during the Consortium affair, in which you forced us into a corner without consulting me nor any of my Command. For an alliance reason (ie, my members) - we want something to do.

2) To support [[Fury]] fully in the conflict against Titans. Our members are all in Fury galaxies (mostly) anyway, so it only makes sense we aim our knives and pointy sticks in the same direction.

3) To officially state our neutrality with [[FAnG]] (ie, for those hard of understanding - no ties between RaH & FAnG). In tonights events, the situation has arisen whereby - as an alliance - Reduco would be placing itself at too great a risk rendering military aid. I can only apologise personally to those I know in FAnG, but such are the way of things. I'll no doubt be labelled 'backstabber' etc, but it's something I can live with.

I wish all parties involved in tonights new found fun & games good luck, it's about time we had something to do

Round 7

2010-08-02T23:28:25Z

JBG: /* Round Summary */

=Round Summary=

'''Round 7''' marked the last round for some of the most famous [[alliance]]s in Planetarion as the overall size of the playerbase continued to decline. After this round both [[Xanadu]] and [[Legion]] ceased playing and moved on to new pastures. Before that happened though Round 7 marked the beginning of the decline of the major power[[block]]s that had characterised the early rounds of PA. Following on from [[Round 6]] the two most powerful alliances within the [[Xeta]] block, [[Xanadu]] and [[Elysium]] [[ally|allied]] pre-round with the two highest scoring alliances within the [[FoS]] block, [[NoS]] and [[Wolfpack]], [[First Round block|forming]] [[Newx]]. Rumours also abounded pre-round of Newx making arrangements with [[Auld]], a more minor R7 block.

On the other side most of the members and almost all the [[HC]] of [[Deus]] had merged into the [[FLTV]] block following Round 6. Two new alliances, [[RaH]] and [[FAnG]] were set up, primarily with ex-[[Legion]] players, and also aligned themselves with FLTTV leading to the [[FFLTTVR]] block. Given the early announcement from NewX that they would be forming a powerblock after a round dedicated primarily to preventing the stagnation that powerblocks had led to so frequently the FLTV block was better placed to gather further allies from the universe. NewX worked with [[ROCK]], [[Templar]] and [[G-II]], who called themselves 'Core', and were in turn allied with Auld, although only Core fought with NewX against FLTV in the war to come.

Pre-round many imagined that these sides might be roughly equal in strength, given their rough equality in pure numbers, but for various of reasons this was not the case. Many alliances had weakened significantly from previous rounds, due to the decline in the number of players, and NewX also faced internal communication problems, with NoS remaining on their own [[IRC]] server. Despite some level of success in certain clusters within the first two months of the round NewX were largely killed off, with their galaxies being driven out of the top rankings.

With [[roids]] drying up and the opposition dead the winning block again began to turn on itself. Problems arose between a number of alliances in the block who lacked firm agreements with each other. Proposals to divide everyone up "fairly" in order to create some excitement for the round went nowhere. Authorised retals became a huge issue in a block bound by numerous agreements and lacking an external enemy to fight. In one of these cases conflict arose between RaH and [[ViruS]] after ViruS roided newer RaH members in galaxies where the level of protection was confused. As events escalated one of the larger RaH members, Sention, retalled and roided one of the top ViruS members, [[Singularity]]. ViruS wanted war with RaH but with most of the rest of the block, particulary [[Fury]] who were the strongest alliance of the round, unwilling to move nothing happened. Another major incident which affected the course the block took involved valy, who was a [[Wrath]] member who roided a Fury planet before joining [[Titans]]. Disagreements ensued between Fury and Titans over the course of action that should be taken.

At this point the block threatened to break asunder. Certain factions within both ViruS, unhappy at Fury's perceived favouritism towards RaH, and Legion, who were eager to roid FAnG and, led by [[Fred]], disliked Fury, attempted to divide the block in their favour in an event that became known as [[The Consortium Incident]]. Rumours were spread that Fury, FAnG and RaH were going to attack the rest of the block. Titans, unhappy with Fury over recent events, were willing to join in the Consortium. However this attempt fell apart within 24 hours of starting. [[Biggdogg]], Legion [[HC]], who had been inactive up to this point returned and reasserted control over Legion's course of action. Equally pro-Fury elements within ViruS ensured that they backed down from the Consortium. Titans were left isolated. Fury [[Round 7 Fury Announcement|dropped their agreements]] with Titans and Legion did so with [[Round 7 Legion Announcement|both Titans and FAnG]]. Other FLTV alliances such as RaH felt forced to [[RaH announcement|follow suit]].

Titans and FAnG were outnumbered and outmatched. Although certain planets survived due to galaxy protection all un-protected planets lost large numbers of roids. Titans, now working with the only surviving element of the Newx block, [[LDK]], launched a number of [[fleetcatch]]es against their attackers including [[Round 7 Fleetcatch on Sandsnake|a notable one]] on Sandsnake, a Fury member. Despite some limited successes Fury were unquestionably the dominant alliance this round, claiming more T100 planets and control of more T100 galaxies than any other alliance. The end of the round was marred by "deletion wars" in the top gals, where players reported others for various illegal actions, in order to get their planets deleted, and the widespread breaking of many of the agreements that had made up the FLTV block. In the end the #1 planet for the round was [[Kileman]] of Fury, who survived [[Round 7 Attack on Kileman|attempts by LDK/FAnG/Titans]] to knock him off the top spot. The final #1 galaxy was a joint Legion/Fury/Virus gal.

==Round 7 History seen from [[ToT]] (by Sonnenbomber)==

After the various political refactorings in [[round 6]], [[Xanadu]] quickly set about organizing a renewed resistance block to counter the [[FLTTV]] axis. Unfortunately many [[FoS]] and [[Xeta]] members were disillusioned with each other, leading to a fairly weak early block [[Newx]], that was countered by a generally (but not unanimously) underrated FLTTV with reinforcements from [[FAnG]] and [[RaH]].

ToT itself was still a very small ally, but altogether we had 60 active and combative members. We restructured our attack system and were able to involve a lot of FLTTV gals in our attacks so that also ToT was able to join the war of the top alliances.
After 5 weeks of war, FLTTV had killed nearly all top - NEWX gals and planets. A 3 week take out of NEWX followed and all were arguing about the stagnation in the universe.

So it happened what every time happens in such situations, the winner block splits. Fury/ViruS declared war to FAnG and Titans. Legion declared war to [[RaH]] and FAnG. Through the good relation between ToT and FAnG command, we decided to help FAnG as much as possible without declaring war to ViruS, Legion and Fury because with our low membercount we werent really able to join the war of the top alliances which had 3-4times of our member count.

So the split of the block was big problem for ToT through losing control over a lot of FLTTV gals. Anyway we tried to stay neutral but after a lot of retals we had to declare war on our old allies from ViruS. We fought them till the end of the round and it ended in a tie. Except for one galaxy our enemies weren't really able to hit us. Good working defence and a lot of good battles made the round into a big success for ToT.

Nearly all our gals ended in the top100 and nearly all members in the top 1000 planet rankings.
With the end of R7 a lot of old alliances also left the game. [[Xanadu]] and [[Legion]] were surely the most important of them.
So the political situation for R8 was quiet interesting.

'''Official Reduco (RaH fs) Announcement''' posted by [[Petru]]

I've been watching this night unfold (to my distaste, as I have to wake up in 4 hours now fs :/) with interest, as have my alliance command staff. This has merely become the extension of a decision we made during the night of the 'The Consortium' affair, pertaining to one of our allies.

On reflection of tonights events, I and the Council of Reduco have decided on the following:

1) To serve official notice to Titans that we hereby cut the previous alliance we had. My own personal reason beind the behaviour during the Consortium affair, in which you forced us into a corner without consulting me nor any of my Command. For an alliance reason (ie, my members) - we want something to do.

2) To support Fury fully in the conflict against Titans. Our members are all in Fury galaxies (mostly) anyway, so it only makes sense we aim our knives and pointy sticks in the same direction.

3) To officially state our neutrality with FAnG (ie, for those hard of understanding - no ties between RaH & FAnG). In tonights events, the situation has arisen whereby - as an alliance - Reduco would be placing itself at too great a risk rendering military aid. I can only apologise personally to those I know in FAnG, but such are the way of things. I'll no doubt be labelled 'backstabber' etc, but it's something I can live with.

I wish all parties involved in tonights new found fun & games good luck, it's about time we had something to do

=Round Summary=
The sign up period was delayed by a week due to server issues.

After [[Round 36]] and their round win [[VisioN]] had disbanded, with many of their members following main [[HC]] [[SantaCruz]] to new alliance [[Osiris]]. Following the events of the previous round Osiris and [[Apprime]] entered the new one extremely hostile towards each other. [[Evolution]] also returned, with mostly previous players and a number of ex-[[DLR]] ones as DLR significantly decreased in size for this round. The other perceived main contenders for victory this round were [[Ascendancy]] and [[NewDawn]].

The early stages of the round saw Osiris target Apprime, who had concentrated a third of their memberbase in three [[core galaxies]] very effectively. Helped out in this by Evolution to some extent Apprime looked to be losing this conflict. At this point Ascendancy and ND, who had held friendly relations from the beginning of the round, stepped in. With Evolution holding a clear [[score]] and [[roid]] lead over the chasing pack the three alliances concentrated on them primarily. Evolution and Osiris rapidly formalised their relations, agreeing on a [[NAP]], and bringing in [[Conspiracy]] on their side of the war. Evolution were slowly brought back towards the others but despite this initial success, the war stagnated with neither side losing or gaining much. Apprime came out on top with the most roids and focused on defence for several days to stave off incomings. While this made them very hard to hit, it caused tensions between them and the other members of the [[block]].

The relationship between NewDawn and Apprime was on a knife's edge already, because a number of Apprime planets defended Evolution planets against block incomings. Apprime gaining on the other alliances was the final straw, and NewDawn broke the NAP with Apprime (but not the one with Ascendancy, who would remain their allies for the remainder of the round) and joined the other block in attacking them.

With the numbers significantly stacked against them, Apprime grounded fleets altogether in an attempt to hold onto as many roids as possible. Despite crashing quite a lot of fleets, the block stubbornly continued hitting Apprime until they were 6th on size and had lost their number 1 position.

Ascendancy, meanwhile, having kept their NAP with ND, had kept on the sidelines of this war and were getting fat by random roiding. Activity varied wildly between members though and at some point the majority of the roids in the alliance were in the hands of only 15 planets. Osiris and Evolution were both hurting for roids after hitting a fleet grounding alliance for the better part of a week and even with the numbers on their side, their roid count was only average, while activity was going down.

Apprime had expressed their displeasure with Ascendancy keeping their NAP with NewDawn and, looking to regain lost roids easily once the incoming slowed down, Apprime decided to drop the NAP with Ascecndancy. After the round was over, some controversy on [[Alliance Discussions|AD]] broke out over this move, with [[Golan]] of Ascendancy claiming Apprime ignored a previously agreed to 48 hour grace period, while [[HaNzI]] of Apprime stated none such agreement existed.

By this point, Ascendancy had a strong hold on the #1 ranking along with 7 of the top 10 planets. However, solid incomings over the four days by four alliances resulted in a 30% drop in roids, reflecting the mediocre activity level the majority of the lower ranked members were playing at.

NewDawn took advantage of this lull and were mostly getting fat by hitting randoms, much like Ascendancy had done previously.

Apprime managed to pick up most of the roids Ascendancy lost and once again emerged as a contender for victory. Unfortunately, NewDawn and [[Conspiracy]] saw this coming and attacked Apprime with Ascendancy for a few nights. This was surprisingly effective and subsequently Apprime dropped out of the picture for #1 alliance for the remainder of the round.

Evolution and Osiris had been enjoying an easy ride for over a week now and with both Apprime and Ascendancy now definitively out of the picture, they slowly gained ambition again. Ascendancy was still top heavy and held most of the top planets, so Evolution and Osiris decided to start waving these in hopes of gaining a lot of [[XP]]. Apprime also joined in a couple of nights and after four nights most Ascendancy top planets were left with few roids.

The main beneficiary of these actions was NewDawn, as they were still napped to 4 alliances in the top 5, were now 30k roids ahead of the #2 alliance, while Apprime had never really given them the incomings they expected.

With a week to go, Evolution, who by now had taken the #2 position both on size and score, started to realise that NewDawn would need to be taken down quickly if they were to win the round. They dropped the NAP, got Osiris and Apprime to join them and started a war against NewDawn, who were 11m score ahead of them.

Also during the last week, knowing they were out of the running for alliance victory, Ascendancy had been working hard to secure planet rankings, still holding half the top 10 planets, including the top planet, played by [[BlueArmy]]. His main concern was [[Coolkat]] of Osiris, who had overtaken him in roids during the final week and was now gaining score twice as fast as he was. Both sides attempted to keep the other down, with Ascendancy landing two alliance-wide fi/co waves on Coolkat on two subsequent nights and Osiris consistently hitting Ascendancy top planets.

When Coolkat gained a over 300k value in salvage when Osiris crashed a lot of defence at his planet, concern over more potential salvage donations kept Ascendancy from further attacking Coolkat, instead focusing on defending against his attacks, made possible because Ascendancy had several planets in his galaxy to keep an eye on his outgoing status and as a Terran, Coolkat did not have a fi/co roiding fleet.

On the last day of the round, the rankings were closer than they had ever been before. Initially it looked like the gap was closing too slowly for Evolution to come out on top, but by now they were less than a million score behind NewDawn and had managed to close the roid gap. Simultaneously, BlueArmy was still #1 planet, but a heavily escorted landing by Coolkat on HaSu, one of NewDawn's top planets, had given him a boost in roids and XP. If he were to manage to do that twice more on the last day, he could overtake BlueArmy an inch before the finish line.

Fortunately for BlueArmy, Coolkat made a bad decision when he launched his battleships on Rgat of NewDawn, who only had a mediocre planet, which was easily covered by a single Ascendancy fleet, due to the fact that he only had two escorts. After BlueArmy gained some salvage due to an Osiris crash on him, Coolkat gave up and refrained from launching his destroyers.

On the alliance front, things were equally close, if not more so. Four ticks before the end of the round, due to several crashes by and fleetcatches on NewDawn, Evolution overtook them. However, realising that their top planet was secured, Ascendancy had launched a mass fi/co wave on Bee of Evolution, in an attempt to swing the balance in favour of their round-long allies. Even though Evolution prevented crashes by managing to get all of the defence to recall, it looked like this attack would allow NewDawn (who were only 390k score behind them) to come out on top at the last moment.

Unfortunately for them, Evolution found an unexpected trump card in [[DunkelGraf]] of Ascendancy, who, as per his habit, had been out of tag all round. They convinced him to join the Evolution tag, thereby preventing a last tick NewDawn victory, which, it turned out, Ascendancy's landing on Bee would otherwise indeed have granted them.

<missing early round history>

A few hundred ticks into the round, the first war of the round took place, between [[Evolution]], [[Osiris]] and [[Conspiracy]] on the one side and [[Ascendancy]], [[Apprime]] and [[NewDawn]] on the other. Though the latter booked some initial success, the war stagnated with neither side losing or gaining much. Apprime came out on top with the most roids and focused on defence for several days to stave off incomings.

If he were to manage to do that twice more on the last day, he could overtake BlueArmy an inch before the finish line.
Fortunately for BlueArmy, Coolkat made a bad decision when he launched his battleships on Rgat of NewDawn, who only had a mediocre planet, which was easily covered by a single Ascendancy fleet, due to the fact that he only had two escorts. After BlueArmy gained some salvage due to an Osiris crash on him, Coolkat gave up and refrained from launching his destroyers.

On the alliance front, things were equally close, if not more so. Four ticks before the end of the round, due to several crashes by and fleetcatches on NewDawn, Evolution overtook them. However, realising that their top planet was secured, Ascendancy had launched a mass fi/co wave on Bee of Evolution, in an attempt to swing the balance in favour of their round-long allies. Even though Evolution prevented crashes by managing to get all of the defence to recall, it looked like this attack would allow NewDawn (who were only 390k score behind them) to come out on top at the last moment.

Unfortunately for them, Evolution found an unexpected trump card in [[Dunkelgraf]] of Ascendancy, who, as per his habit, had been out of tag all round. They convinced him to join the Evolution tag, thereby preventing a last tick NewDawn victory, which, it turned out, Ascendancy's landing on Bee would otherwise indeed have granted them.

JBG:

=== Background ===
This song is TGV's response, composed by [[Vargon]], to the [[Subh War Song]] written by [[Keglomaniac]], which commemorated the [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=188414 declaration of war] between [[Subh]] and [[TGV]] in the middle of R15. It is adapted from [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=188427 this thread] from [[AD]].

=== The Song ===
<pre>Twas Midnight on the ocean
not a longboat was in sight
the moon was shining brightly
because subh had burned all night

Twas a summer's night near winter,
the moon was sinking fast
the poor subh leaders
were dreaming of the past

Twas a long night for them and
the asteroids that they held so dear
were long since stolen
and no longer were they near

We are the vikings of PA.
Were goanna take your roids away!
You wont like it, you will see,
you souldnt have picked a war with me.

Pillaging and Raping
thats what we do
Now we're gonna try it
out on you!</pre>
