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.
