I don't really get it, but it's probably due to my lack of tournament experience: if we don't know the rules until the end, how can we work towards a win?

Re: 2013 Lottery Tournament
A few years ago there was a tie breaker rule about capturing another corps planets to win, so the other corp would capture SDT or just junk planets and upgrade them and move to a safe location. The rule was well know and the other corp exploited it. By not knowing what the determining tie breaker is it forces people to play 100% aggressively and not just grab a few junk planets and then turtle. The Bounty Hunter wrote: Not a bad idea there. Would have to find the right balance between kills / resources. Don't want both teams to go into seclusion and build. Since know one will know what the point value is they could build 500 planets but if a planet = 1 point and a figged sector = 10 it forces both corps to be aggressive all the way around. I am just trying to add a way to be able to stop a stalemate and force players to give it 100% effort, and not tie up a server for 6 months because 1 corp refuses to admit it is over.

The goal should be to DESTROY the other corp, no questions asked

Re: 2013 Lottery Tournament
Thanks Cruncher. The good news is I got hold of both Comet and Iron Ranger. The bad news is Comet is out of town and says he's out of the game. Iron Ranger will be back in town Monday. Haven't been able to contact Kewlbreeze at all.
I'm ready to go, though. I'm watching clips from Young Guns and listening to "Going down in a blaze of glory" by Bon Jovi to psych myself up...
Edit; spoke too soon, just heard from Kb

Re: 2013 Lottery Tournament
