May 22, 2023: DeJagan Wins! Moon Mega Opens
DeJagen wins! Nicely played DJ!UC Guderian led early and fought to the end and almost finished in 1st again. Guir get top two spots.
Andy6474 returns to Ultracorps and finishes on the medal stand at 3rd place, playing as Arachnapoleon. This makes no sense as we all know Napoleon was a crustacean not an arachnid. 8 Masters points awarded to Andy. Caruso, Jodos, Habig, Goljerp, Starcharger, Farstar and Orn'ate all made the top ten. Players ranked below the top ten were either eaten or rushed to an early demise.
Check Andy's combatant number in the raw logs of his battles. At 25126 it is one of the lowest you will ever see. For comparison Captain Kanga, an alias I created for the recent doubles game, lists at 100277. Over 100,000 player accounts in 27 years on the internet. The stories our Spider Emperor Warrior could tell. Saturn had about 5 discovered moons back in early 1997. Now there are 124 and counting. Thanks for popping in Andy6474.
Ultracorps is practically unique in both it's history and it's ability to engage a large number of players in one game. Ultracorp's intellectual property and copyrighted story-lines, races, ships and characters all combine for it's seemingly phoenix-like ability to rise up from the ashes to live on. It is no wonder that Netflix and HBO Max are fighting over the rights to produce, and no wonder that the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets, and even the Lakers and Celtics are in a bidding war with Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rogers outbidding Terrapols Biden, Trump and even Brittany Spears. Taylor Swift cloaked up when we asked her when she first learned to love Ultracorps. Let's hope Ultracorps doesn't join Hendrix, Cass, Morrison, Cobain and more in the death at age 27 group.
New mega 124 Moons is now open and starts on the 29th of May, 2023 at 8am.
Bring a friend, or an enemy or both and you can introduce them in the game forum if you like.

March 14, 2023: UC Guderian Wins! Again! Ring Game Set
The Ides of March Ring Game starts at 8am on the 15th. Have fun!Expect a new mega game a day or so after the 1st.
UC Guderian wins the Galaxy's Edge Mega Game. He is on a roll! UC did mail and say he had backed into a meat grinder and gotten a little behind in his work. If you would like him to hand off his game to you, contact him right away.
Note the 8am ticks.

March 1, 2023: UC Guderian Leads! Ides Of March Ring Game
UC Gorillien leads with 43 planets! Jodos and Habig together have 44, so 2nd and 3rd place medals are looking pretty shiny. Gimak and Goljerp have lots of FP to buttress their top 5 standings.It will take 94 planets or more for 1st place to beat the rest of the field combined. With 8 to 16 turns left, this could get a bit challenging for the field to defend if the game extends all the way to the Ides of March.
It also has come to our attention that UCG/SunT/B won the last game. Congratulations on your big win. This is developing into a foregone conclusion as far as top of the hill. Are there no David's who want to challenge UC Goliath?
Few remember when Starcharger won three consecutive Mega game and 5 out of 7. If someone is old enough to recall ancient internet history, 22 or more years ago, then they are old enough to have their memory questioned, by a Big Brother trained and experienced inquisitor. One detail that will be hard to contradict is that Starcharger achieved a lofty lifetime milestone of 3500 XP on galaxy-date 2/20/2023. Only the all time Grand Poobah and Potentate Premier Solitar has more XP.
May you have randomly generated outcomes to your upcoming battles!
Starcharger ;)
