Krynn v. Korath Tournament - KRYNN WIN!

Krynn v. Korath Tournament - KRYNN WIN!

Calling all metaverse generals

Korath v. Krynn Tournament

For the rest of April I'm running an unofficial tournament between these two races. All players who own DA are welcome and encouraged to participate.

The Scene

The Korath were part of the Drengin Empire, but their determination to exterminate non-Drengin life rather than enslaving them has made them even more dangerous as a foe. The Korath war machine has advanced mercilessly across the universe. Whole civilizations have crumbled under the unrepentant destruction of the Spore Ships. Chaos and doom reigned supreme.

The Krynn are here to bring order to the galaxy. Ynrhed Eidden called a council of war on Kryseth, homeworld of the Krynn Consulate. The Korath menace was analyzed, and determined to be the greatest threat to maintiaining peace and prosperity. Filled with righteous purpose, the Krynn military prepared for a sudden and massive attack on the Korath throughout the universe.

But would it be enough?

The Rules

Who Wins: The Race which scores the highest when the raw scores of all the submissions are added up at the end of the tournament will win.

Tournament Length: This Tournament runs from April 7th (the first shots have already been fired!) to April 30th. On May 1st I will post the results of the tournament.

Submissions: Every skirmish matters! To submit your score to the tournament, simply post to this message with a screenshot from your metaverse profile.


Only games with a date in the lower right hand corner that were submitted between April 7th and April 30th will be accepted. No cheat flagged games will be accepted. If there is a question about the validity of any score, it will be resolved by referring to that players official metaverse profile by me. For this tournament, only games played by the Korath or Krynn will be counted. Players are free to submit as many games as they choose as long as they are legal metaverse submissions within the appropriate date range.


So who will win? Brute force and genocidal zeal vs. defense, diplomacy and espionage! Your games will reveal the answer.

Good luck to all!

Final Standings
Krynn: 353,805
Korath: 326,450

The Korath put up a decent fight, but in the end couldn't muster a defense against the Krynn forces. The Korath threat has been contained, for now. Thanks to everyone who played!

I'd love that too - especially if they were more commonplace.

Got any plans for the next one, Wynd? ^_^

The Krynn say: All your base are belong to us....Ok maybe not.

Maybe for the next tournament the Yor vs. the winner of this one.

Regarding us approaching Stardock, we have decided that for now we dont really have the power for an official demand. But, seeing how well this tournament is going and how many are participating, we might be able to consider it.

So best of luck to the Krynn, ill post a game of my own soon

I have several more planned. The next one is already designed, and will start on May 1st, after this one has concluded. I will start to advertise the next one about a week before I start it.

The Krynn say: All your base are belong to us....Ok maybe not.

Shouldn't that be "All Yor base are belong to us..."

Ha ha ha. Ho. Hum. Sigh. I kill me

Ha! That's great Wyndstar.
Now I need a big mock up recruiting poster that says, "The Krynn Consulate Wants You!" Think Uncle Sam...

Wyndstar, when I view your posts, with the metaverse boxes at the bottom saying Krynn vs. Korath, I'm assuming they're supposed to be showing the updated scores. However, for me, I see them as identical except for the race logo and color. In other words, if you're trying to show the score, it doesn't show it to me, at least.

Yeah, I get that, but I wasn't sure whether he was trying to give the tourney score. Anyway, anyone know the score at this point?

The current score has the Krynn losing by some 13,000ish points.
Which is why everyone needs to post Krynn games now.

Well, here's one, and another has about an hour left to finish.

That's impressive, two at once!

One a week is about max for me, even at Medium galaxy. Part of the issue is that my computer just slows down so much in mid and late game. And time, of course, that ever slipping thing . . .

No, sorry, they are just links to the AltMeta. Kryo put in code to paste these banners to the bottom of your post. I decided that rather than doing a random one, I would post a banner that represented what this tournament was all about... Krynn v. Korath. The links do take you to my personal stats, but you can just click the Home button at the top of the page to check out the AltMeta. I also have a link to the AltMeta on the bottom of the first post.

To know the current score, check the top post. I update it as often as I can, and I always post when I update, so you can easily see if there have been any new submissions to take into account.

Currently, the Krynn lead by the slimist of margins.

Annnd... here's the other one I mentioned. My first Masochistic game .

The Krynn now have more padding on their lead, but it is close. Been pretty quiet lately, the calm before the storm?

Updated.

Good Luck!

And the Krynn win. I'm a little surprised there weren't more submissions near the end of the war.

I hope everyone who played had fun. I greatly enjoy playing with both of these races.

Good luck in your future conquests!
