Okay, I've e-mailed what I hope will work as a proper results table to Griselda, but in the meantime:
Victories: 2400 Conquest Win for sargon0 (+100), 2428 Extermination Win for RefSteel (+100), 2500 Conquest Win for Timmy827 (+100), 2500 Diplomatic Loss turned into a 2792 Extermination Win for KnTenshi (+100)
First Computer Techs: 2328 DSS for KnTenshi (+6), 2333 DSS for sargon0 (+4), 2341 DSS for RefSteel (+2), 2342 DSS for Timmy827.
First Construction Techs: 2329 RW80 for sargon0 (+6), 2333 RW80 for Timmy827 (+4), 2337 RW80 for RefSteel (+2), 2338 RW80 for KnTenshi.
First Force Fields Techs: 2331 DS2 for KnTenshi (+6), 2339 DS2 for sargon0 (+4), 2349 DS2 for RefSteel AND Timmy827 (+1 each)
First Planetology Tech: 2323 IER for RefSteel (+6), 2327 IER for sargon0 (+4), 2342 IER for KnTenshi (+2), 2343 Barren for Timmy827.
First Propulsion Tech: 2317 R4 for Timmy827 (+6), 2322 R4 for KnTenshi (+4), 2329 R5 for RefSteel (+2), 2332 R5 for sargon0.
First Weapons Tech: 2341 Gats for sargon0 (+6), 2343 Gats for KnTenshi (+4), 2350 Gats for RefSteel (+2), No Weapons Tech Ever Researched for Timmy827!
Additional Techs Researched: Five total for sargon0 (-25), no other techs researched.
Final Scores
KnTenshi: 100 + 6 + 0 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 4 - 0 = 122
RefSteel: 100 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 2 - 0 = 115
Timmy827: 100 + 0 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 6 + 0 - 0 = 111
sargon0: 100 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 0 + 6 - 25 = 99
Sponsor's Comments:
We had close scoring all the way around!
- Every player managed to be fastest in at least one of the six fields.
- KnTenshi sacrificed the most for scoring in this game, both early on and by steadfastly refusing to do research even in final war, and as a result pulled in the highest total score, cemented by his 2792(!) final war victory!
- I was the only player to score at least one point in every tech field. This is a good time to note however that luck played a major role in this scoring system; my IER came in at 2%, probably right around Sargon's percentage in the same time period, so the four year difference for that tech is rather deceptive! Needless to say, the one scoring tie and various 1-year photo finishes were also highly dependant on die rolls.
- Timmy's Range 4, in 2317, was easily the fastest tech overall, and he deserves extra credit for going a step beyond the scoring and never researching a weapons tech at all! He also was on the wrong end of the aforementioned tech luck, missing third place for Computers and Planetology by just one year apiece (and tied for third in Force Fields).
- Sargon's tech speed was the best overall, edging out KnTenshi's by two points. Sargon also pulled in the fastest victory by a healthy margin - the latter supported by just five extra self-researched techs, and (more importantly) Sargon's usual skill and strategic ability!
I hope everyone enjoyed this challenge as much as I did; congratulations to all who participated in the game!
