@wyoming, next week its 25. It has been dropping to simulate the gradual growth of the hive. I made it high initially to show how hard it is for a world to fall to the first tendrils (when its already geared for war), but now the fleet has been here a while....

Is that 25 more Vp than order got aginst them or just 25 VP

Basically is it worth playing against nids at all?

I am guessing it is the marginal VP (or the difference between what they won and lost) accumulated against all opponents (order or disorder).

If they win enough battles in a week to have 25 VPs on one planet, the planet is nommed.

So last week they won 12 on one and 7 on the other, if they were together that would have put them close this week. And they aren't taking advantage of the Garden World bonus it seems. It would be best for Tyranids to focus on the Garden World as soon as they can, because once they have one world nommed I am going to give them something else that will be fun. So focus your attentions there and you will (probably, short of you guys losing most of your battles) be rewarded with VPs before any other race.

any updates yet? (may or may not be a bump)

also, do you think my idea could work?

Is the campaign Over

From what I understand it eneded sunday

Is it over? If so, who won?

I believe that it runs for 8 weeks. So no, not over.

It's not over yet, but it'll probably end soon as it seems that interest has been waning...

Well, I have a batrep ready for submission, but Ive postponed it tinking it was over.

If it's not ill sub it

Go for it, the Admins haven't announced anything so all this talk of its ending are just speculation.

I think the problem came about when there was that gap updates due to admin's having issues come up. With a long gap in the updates, people stopped seeing the campaign thread. Stop seeing the campaign thread, and you start to forget about it. Forget about it, and you forget to write down batreps. Forget to write down batreps, and you feel bad that you didn't write it down, so you don't wish to turn it in.

I think that's been why we've seen such a slowdown. There needs to be a new campaign thread started that is basically a giant update for everyone so they can see it. That way they know it's still up and running and can get back into the swing. Obviously we have to do something if people think it's already over.

(and yes, I know I still need to send in my 2 batreps, busy week at work sorry)

Red ended up having an accident and last I knew was in the hospital, it was kind of a big wrench into the planning effort. If anyone would like to send him a PM wishing him well im sure he would appreciate the support.

Motyak is working on the last write up and we'll be drawing the campaign to a close and working on developing a new one with improvements from all we learned during this one.

oh man I had no idea. Hope he's going to be ok.

He got hit by a car on his way back to base. It's a pretty gakky deal. His brother messaged us letting us know. I haven't heard anything else for awhile :(

oh geeze :( hope he gets better...

Today, 2:00 PM
Ascalam: Final tallies will be up tonight. Motyak's finished his calc's , but i need to get to work
Today, 5:13 AM
Ascalam: OK- it's officiial. The mods have voted an end to the campaign
Today, 1:03 AM

:(

I would like to thank everyone that was a part of the campaign. I think this sort of event is awesome and should be continued. It certainly got me playing more games than I normally would.

Awww it's over? aw man, was this a sweet idea! I loved fighting more games that ment something (although lost more then I won )

when would the next one be? maybe in the summer so people have more free time?

:/ my free times in the winter .

lol same here.

Best bet as of now would be in the new year.

Everyone gets to put their Xmas goodies together and then it's back into the thick

It'll take a month or so to really take a good look at how this campaign was good, and how it could be improved for next time. There WILL be a next time, and a draft for it is already bouncing around the echoing empty vault in my cranium, building momentum.

The mods and I will chew over some ideas and get back to you ASAP.

Anyone who has ideas/suggestions and/or constructive criticism can PM me with them, or post them here. I'd be happy to bring them to the table for the Admins to look over.

We'll probably have an actual thread for suggestions soon enough too

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/486368.page Good place to start ^

Awesome

Did we ever post the final results?

They are up in the disorder forum

Which is for Disorder personnel only, at least in theory...

Here's the results for everyone else to take a gander at. I'd expected the other mods to get them up, or i'd have posted them already.


Inon System (Partial control by both Order [11 Victory Points] and Disorder [13 Victory Points])

Inon Primaris - 31.43% becomes 38.23% Imperial Control (+ 6.8%) [Disorder]

Ortan Minor - 16.13% becomes 68.43% Imperial Control (+ 52.3%) [Order]

Lamarno - 0.00% becomes 73.2% Imperial Control (+ 73.2%) [Order]

Kabaal - 21.63% becomes 28.43% Imperial Control (+ 6.8%) [Disorder



Dagon System (Partially controlled by both Order [25 Victory Points] and Disorder [14 Victory Points])

Hera - 67.6% Imperial Control (+/- 0%) [Order]

Garevo - 84.5% Imperial Control (+/- 0%), 24 Tyranid VPs this week [Order]

Jurn - 52.6% Imperial Control (+ 2.4%) [Order]

Molov - 67.2% Imperial Control (+/- 0%), 39.2% Necron Progress (+ 2%) [Order]

Valos - 12.9% Imperial Control (+ 4.8%), 4% Tau (+ 4%) [Disorder]



Antropos System (Wholly controlled by Order, 34 Victory Points all told for Order)

Uralan 100% (+ 2%) [Order]

Reillis Primaris 94.04% becomes 96.04% (+ 2%) [Order]

Reillis Secundus 69.74% becomes 71.74% (+ 2%) [Order]

Yourvika 76.91% (+/- 0%) [Order]

Namba 65.44% becomes 66.04% (+0.60%), Necron Progress 1% (+/- 0%) [Order]

Lucan 90.84% (+ 2%) [Order]

Lucan Sigma 90.04% (+/- 0%) [Order]



Venta System (Partially controlled between Order [28 Victory Points] and Disorder [15 Victory Points]. Necrons gain 6 Victory Points for Masali's demise)

Enpivin = 89.6% Control (+/- 0%) [Order]

Hopta IV = 89.8% Control (+/- 0%) [Order]

Korsk 88% becomes 86% (-2%) [Order]
Bleed-over from Volkh I

Volkh I 100% becomes 12.54% (- 87.46%) [Disorder]
BFG results; 85.46 to disorder
Bleed-over from Volkh Secundus

Volkh Secundus 100% becomes 14.54% (- 85.46%) [Disorder]
BFG results; 85.46 to disorder
Bleed-over from Volkh I

Perdus 100% becomes 100% (+ 10.8%), 13% Necrons, 49% Tau [Order]


All up 98 Victory Points for Order, 42 Victory Points for Disorder, and 6 Victory Points for Necrons.

However, the Cardinal World, the Capital World, and its guardian moon all fell, and the Necrons got a World Engine into play, so I'd spin it like Order held onto some worlds, namely Forge Worlds and what not, but lost all the rest of their key worlds, and couldn't stop the terror of another World Engine getting out to boot. Congratulations order, you have a Garden Planet and what not, from there you can see you capital worlds burning in the night sky.

That makes sense

Crap...nids couldn't score another measily point
