Congratulations Millie B for winning 1st 16-player, tournament.
Thank you all for being responsible, we had 0 no-show ups.
Also, everybody was very cooperative, and made running this tournament smooth and enjoyable.
Stay tuned for new tournament news...
Here are scores from final:
And quick report (thanks Nuxohiz!)
Turn 1: everyone makes 4 species and there's enough food
Turn 2: Stardust* makes a 1/3 fat tissue carni. I'm happy with long neck + burrowing + hardshell, a horned specie and a 1/3 specie.
For some reason I'm not attacked and Millie B suffers a lot. Thought she wasn't so good and was gonna lose :p
Turn 3: I improve my defense with climbing on 1/3, a symbiosis and a warning call. Everything is defended. Think it's this turn that both me and Pether.pg make a carnivore. Stardust* however made an intelligent specie killing my warning call symbiosis as well as my long neck, coop and my third specie got taken out as well. At this point I knew that I lost. Not even sure if my last specie survived.
Turn 4: can make an educated guess of the defenses of pether.pg, take the gamble and make a 5/2 pack hunter as well as a 1/1 symbiosis scavenger. Millie B is building up 2 burrowed species with in between a symbiosis with warning call. All her species have scavenger. I hit Pether.pg pretty hard while he and Stardust* hit each other. At this point I know that I have a shot again. Millie B however is the leader with eating 2 more than I do, defense I can't take out as well as having one more specie. Swapping to omnivore won't work and creating more species is impossible with the carnivores running rampage. Try bringing her in the spotlight through chat, but they can't do anything either.
Turn 5: we all continue building up our species and swap defenses a bit. Pether and I completely take out the carnivore of Stardust.
Turn 6: I pray for intelligence on either me or Pether.pg. We have a Dutch saying that goes "who asks is skipped" and Millie B has an intelligence making her less dependent on our carnivores (she already had foraging as well). I hit some species of both Pether and Stardust I guess and Pether swapped to omnivore I guess.
Turn 7: Millie B even got coop, I have no way to feed myself without going carnivore. Try making a third specie, eat a bit and the game is over
And 1st round games:
