Tournament of Losers! - Running June 6th to July 15th!

from GalCiv2 Forums
Tournament of Losers!

From June 6 (starting tomorrow) until July 15th, I'm running an unofficial tournament. All players who own Dread Lords or Dark Avatar are welcome and encouraged to participate.

The Scene

Wyndstar recently ran a Battle Royale Tournament (I have wholeheartedly stolen the format, some of the text and the rules of his original OP for this post! I don't think he will mind. And I would certainly like to thank him!) Three races came out at the bottom as clear losers, nicely balanced across alignments. But which one is really the worst to play?

All three races have timidly retreated to their corners of the galaxy, showing their true cowardice, lack of ability and lack of skill. The Iconians have joined them...Just because they are a loser race too! Which one will be forced even deeper into its corner? Which one truly deserves to be extinct?

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.

Who Loses: The Race which scores the least number of points by the end of the tournament. This race will be crowned the Grand Galactic Loser. Help keep your favorite loser race from being the king of the losers!

Tournament Length: This Tournament runs from June 6th to July 15th. On July 15th, I will post the results of the tournament. I will try to do regular interim updates.

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 June 6th and July 15th 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, games played by the races listed below 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.

If you have problems taking a screenshot, please post the date, score, race and character profile where the metaverse game you wish to submit can be found.

Feel free to include a blurb about your experience playing your chosen loser race!

So who will lose? Which race is really the worst? Was I right to unilaterally include the Iconians? Your games will decide the answers!

Good luck to all!

Final Scores:

1. Drengin: 598585
2. Altarian: 370825
3. Iconians: 324800
4. Arcean: 226500

Let me be the first to denounce the Arceans as the Grand Galactic Losers. Yes, they are the race so inept that they can't even successfully pilot a starship into a sun to end their own existence and so cowardly that they can't manage to end their own existence through any other way. The good races think they are to pathetic to bother with, the other neutrals fail to notice them, the Drengin will not enslave and the Korath will not spore them, because they are looking to enslave and spore intelligent races. They must forever wander the galaxy begging other races to put them out of their misery and end their pitiful existence.

All may now dis and disdain the Arceans, the Grand Galactic Losers.

The Evil Arceans are off to a good start, but I will have to put them off until I get back into town next week.

Next up? Evil Altarians ftw! I have to say, PlayJeff, that I think the soccer mum just doesn't cut it for evil. Here's my idea of an evil Altarian resistance leader:



Have a good weekend!

Is that DROOO?
Woa, she is your EX?!

Boy, she sure got some ugly tattoos.



EDIT: @Fate: Your reply, is the single most insulting and racist thing ive read so far on the forum here. Dont be that guy. If you dont like "European" Football, please say so in a less (way less) offensive manner or jog on. "Soccer is teh Suxx0r" would be just about acceptable. But only if you add a smily to the end of the line. Like this.
Cheers.

My last two wins should qualify for the Altarians and Iconians respectively. Not sure how to take screenshots, though... can you take the info from my profile?

Just post your game stats (date, race etc.), the game then can be easily looked up in your Profile.



My contribution,
with the Iconians as promised.


Huzzah, its a victory ...my fastest evva too!



I knew it all along, ...they rock. People just say they s***, so that nobody plays them, so that nobody finds out how uber they realy are. Conspiracy!

ghostwes,

I looked up your scores and included them.

So, I guess everyone really hates to play the Drengin?

Thank you, Purge. I'm currently working on an Arcean game as well.

Perhaps, to save you the trouble, someone could post instructions on how to post the scores here?

Insulting and Racist? Sorry If I offended you then Swiffo, I didn't intend too. That reply was ment purely to Neilo, a fellow Australian who (probably) will understand were that came from. Soccer is Awsome, it doesn't suck!

Sorry again,

Fate,

Soccer is tha bomb Neilo! Bet you watchd tha world cup and screamed out like everyone else during that ****ing Wog game...


I actually missed the comment and was dumbfounded at was being said. Yea that was a very Australian sense of humor there and i'm sure no offense was intended. Us Aussie's at times have a very dim view of soccer, and when we do do well and actually take an interest, we get screwed!..... @ Italy!!

Not sure about that...but it beats AFL hands down!!!!

No hard feelings then.
But please understand, where i live the term "wog" is quite an extreme racial slur. So, those last three words of your comment realy upset me.
If no offense was meant, none is taken ...retroactively. And since you actually like Soccer you cant be a bad person after all.
Now, if you'll excue me, i have to educate myself on Australian sense of humour for a better intercultural understanding.

and when we do do well and actually take an interest, we get screwed!..... @ Italy!!


They got zidaned very bad in the final, you sure must have gotten some comfort out of that.

Ok, I had to try to duplicate Wyndstar's rapid technology victory (especially since I'd not won a research victory yet). I couldn't match that speed, but here's how I ended up:

Race: Altarians
Difficulty: Suicidal
Victory: Beyond Mortality
Years: 2
Size: Tiny
Alignment: Neutral

Here's one for the Altarians. Sorry I don't know how to insert a screen cap into this thread.

Race: Altarians
Difficulty: Tough
Victory: Miltary Conquest
Years: 3
Size: Medium
Alignment: Neutral
v.1.5 Dread Lords
Score: 14,250

Updated Scores:

1. Iconians: 109200
2. Arcean: 65500
3. Altarian: 59055
4. Drengin: 0

The Altarians are sneaking up on second place...And the Drengin remain the friendless losers of the galaxy!

BTW If you all can put the race data and scores you received on your post like Ferrel and JustinSane4 did above that works pretty well. I can double check the scores and just do a simple total down the page here.

Dumb question from a relative newbie:

So we just start a regular sandbox game to compete, using one of the four mentioned races? So galaxy size, number of opponents, and difficulty don't matter? Sounds easy enough to me. I'll try one as soon as my current (Torian) game is complete.

And, Wyndstar, how you can win a game that quick is simply amazing. Not just that it was one year (game), but 20 minutes real-time!!! I'm too old and slow to ever win a game that quickly. Nice job

Yep, as long as it is a Metaverse game of course.

Here are the evil Arceans at last. They really are just not an enjoyable faction.

OK all - I can't resist. I'm going to start a game with the Drengin.   I think I will try a new character, just to see how its done. Thanks for the motivation!

A quick time out from the current topic to remind everyone interested in these tournaments that coming up with a more formal methodology for the submission of games involved in these tournaments and hopefully the ability to add these as a regular feature within the AltMeta is the next big task that's currently top of the list on the Metaverse Council's (MVC) agenda.

With that in mind I want to remind everyone here that's it's in their best interest to support the MVC and to participate in the ongoing vote for two new MVC councilors.

Your vote in this matter will be greatly appreciated. See the Voting for MVC Councilors starts Now thread for details.

Also, over and above simply voting for councilors, the MVC wants and needs the participation of all that are interested in the success of the metaverse. We need your ideas, your support and your approval.

I'm not sure how much, or how little, folks in general know about the MVC and what it is we're trying to do. This is not really the place to go into all that anyway. If you don't already know, just do a search on Council or MVC and you'll find plently of threads that will lead you in the right direction.

Thanks for your interest in the metaverse.

Mumblefratz, ruining everyodys fun. It would be better to ask if all these loser races listen to county or disco (DISCO RULZ)
