It's over, folks. Ticks closing to and end. A jolt of pretentious coolness sweeping #planetarion in anticipation of a brief celebration for those whom took part and not least the winner's of R14. The tapping of thousands of fingers on keyboards throughout the world, while it could substitute for a raving enthusiastic applause it doesn't even come close to the real thing. For the #1 planet, alliance and galaxy from the ever kind PAWiki admins I give you [http://www.wavevents.com/MyFilez/wavs/variety/applause.wav the closest thing to the real thing itself]. For all the wanna-be winner's in 1up behind [[elviz]], better luck next time, suckers.

Respect to all the new players battling it out in the cold universe amidst all the merciless roid runs. Of all the alliances I'll have to say well played to [[ToF|Tides of Fire]], [[xVx]], [[F-Crew]], [[Vgn|Vengeance]] and [[TGV|The Galactic Vikings]]. A special mention for the crazy [[G-II]] players; nothing quite like being offered defence channel infoes from a [[G-II]] player (myself being the GC) while noting on Sandmans that he's the only one listed in the whole alliance.

Is there a way to briefly sum up R14? Black comedy comes to mind. All the fluctuation in the alliance front had good comedy value, yet made it easier for the hardened mushroom staff to wrap up the round. Blocking with their flak alliance being #1 from start to finish kind of says it all about the weak opposition they had this round. LCH. Please. Disband. Also, could Sid please step up and give some information to all the "HCs" of other alliances on how to steer real no-nonsense alliances? The kids don't get it.

Until we meet again in another life I bid you all farewell.

The summer round has seen an unusual amount of activity within the alliance rankings due [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=186961 mergers] and alliances collapsing. Hardball moves from the HCs and most likely a breath of fresh air for the members concerned. Thumbs up for upping the ante allowing for a few surprises here and there.

In other news the witch-crafted [http://www.celestialwicca.com/mojo_bags.html Mojo Bags] in use by [[1up]] were found extremely powerful in warding off evil and the rise of [[EXilition]] in PT666 did not happen.

* [[User:Cheerios|Cheerios]] 06:43, 14 Aug 2005 (BST)

[[Wolfpack]] is [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=186912 dying]. [[New Dawn]], [[NoS|Novus ordo Seclorum]] and [[F-Crew]] remain in top10 of today as a reminder of old, established alliances with a long history in Planetarion.

* [[User:Cheerios|Cheerios]] 14:04, 10 Aug 2005 (BST)

In breaking news: [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showpost.php?p=2918668&postcount=171 A lie] might have been committed on Alliance Discussions. [[1up]] are investigating the matter.

* [[User:Cheerios|Cheerios]] 01:14, 7 Aug 2005 (BST)

Do you think the Planetarion manual could be better? So do we.
[[Appocomaster]] has laid the foundation for a true [[New_Player_Manual|new player's manual]]. Edits most welcome.

A week and a half into the round [[1up]] is showing signs of total domination. While their members have laughed it off on alliance discussions they have taken a comfortable 25% lead on average to the #2 alliance ([[LCH]]). Their lead on the #3 alliance ([[Wolfpack]]) is even more impressive standing at 40%. The rest are too far behind to be of any consequence at this point.

The competing alliances playing to take on the #1 spot (however, with [[EXilition]] not participating I believe we will have to wait till next round on this one) have been alarmed at 1up's remarkable progress and have [http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=186756 formed a block] according to [[Synthetic Sid|Sid]]. A blurb by [[Mazzelaar]] also states LCH's -- while not verified from LCH -- attempt to merge with 1up prior to round start. While not news, this does strongly imply that LCH is in no fighting shape.

No doubt this all has given 1up justification to parry these attacks of a fearsome block, which so far have caused them to end the day with -329 roids. Likely their sympathy card will work on smaller and less experienced alliances not wanting to be part of the war. Considering these alliances amount to half of the t10 this is good news for 1up. Members of top galaxies will likely NAP themselves ouf of any ruckus, which 1up is gladly offering.

The [[Round_11:Planet_Rankings| previous summer round]] was won by 1up convincingly using these very same tactics. As an old saying goes; ''"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."''

[[G-II]] merges into [[Hydra]]. Remains unclear whether this move includes a player whom earlier leaked [[APA]]/[[NewDawn|ND]] coords to the masses.

PT101. Game stopped. Fleet production bug found.

Unit Scan on 6:1:7 in tick 101
Sentinel 16011
Arrowhead 119

''Kal (1:1:2) Ticks and restart Mon, 25 Jul 01:37'' 
Ticks suspended due to severe fleets page bug 
There will be a rollback to a tick before the issues occured (22:30 db backup is likely), and ticks will resume 24 hours after the time of the db backup so that peoples timezone based activity is not affected. 
Fleets will NOT be recalled

PT73. Game on!
Fleets -- There are curently 139 fleets moving, containing 26,973 ships.

* 11:17, 22 Jul 2005 (BST)

PT37 and the first (?) bug (?) pops up. Exile doesn't work. [ed. fixed a few ticks later]

* [[User:Cheerios|Cheerios]] 23:11, 21 Jul 2005 (BST)

PT26 ticker down.

(noah02) it might just be very slow tick atm

The initial purge missed the active planets... time to wipe the slate clean, eh?
As expected the initial purge was a mishap:

(Kal) the ticker deleter was aciddentally incorreclty configured and fre accoutns that had not been logged in for 24hours before the first tick were deleted 
(Kal) it was entirly my fault 
(Kal) and i apologise completely 
(Kal) the timer is now set correctly [ed. 1 tick lost] 
(Kal) but i can;t turn back time

Terran 538 (25%) OF (::) 0
Cathaar 370 (17%) OF (::) 0
Xandathrii 648 (30%) OF (::) 0

New mainpage layout. Jester will drop dead when he sees this ;-)

The idea behind the news/soapbox is to gather common thoughts, ideas and general chatter that might not warrant their own thread (PD). This space can be used to log the events of R14 -- whatever they may be -- and might shape up to be a chaotic timeline following the thoughts of Planetarians. The "lighter" side of PAWiki.
