August 20, 2020: New Mega Game Starting Soon!
We are about two thirds through our current conflict. It is time to think ahead.Tactical Beacon gets a Solo 7. He logs on one day, and gets 12 planets in 7 turns the next. I think that commander needs a Mega Game to test out those new skills.
The September Spectacular spins up about August 31st. We stop issuing galactic entrance passes around the 3rd at which time the starting positions will be set. A day or two later we will light a slow fuse and wait for a big boom. There will be a variation or two to spice things up a bit; so if you have some ideas post them in the forum.
Travail leads! Is he going to win again? Solitar may have other ideas as he is in 2nd place. Starcharger is in 3rd. Zpo, Hair10, Breakers, Jodos, Habig, Panda, Black Knight, Dr_Sci and GerryGadget round out the Top Ten!

Adventure Oasis, turns 10 & 11!Two Homeworld Captures In 2 Turns!
Zubenelgenubi was the first to fall, to veteran Commander Solitar last cycle, and Noxious to Hair "Today, Gone Tomorrow" 10 this cycle. Our analysts have suggested that the protracted interval to first fallen HW's may portend a more strategically- and tactically-matured set of commanders battling for supremacy, and salutes those embattled in Adventure Oasis.
Conan and ThyFloppyCactus Both Have Words for Crom!!
TFC brought lots of bots to best Xenofruit at Crom this cycle, taking to heart the planet's credo of 'crushing the skulls of your enemies and hearing the lamentations of their significant others'.
Stars Charging And Big Brothers: In Arms!
