Re: Round Lenghts
As an alternative to the round lenght discussion, one could look at earlier conclusions of different aspects of the game.
Example:
Overall round: 1177 ticks
Planet rank conclusion: 1177
Gal rank conclusion: 1080
Ally rank conclusion: 1008
But it could easily be a larger margin, say gal ranks concluded at tick 800.
The game is more or less focused towards planet ranks the last week anyway, often due to the fact that alliance ranks are concluded earlier. Why not capitalize on that, so once alliance winner is decided, each alliance could engage in a new playstyle, i.e supporting their best planets while taking the competition out.
A fine example is this round, and previous ones before. Winning alliance and those in the race (tho rarely) seldom have the opportunity to get decent planetranks, as securing both goals (ally/planet), often cancels out eachother.
If anything it would add a touch of flavour, to the already dried out playstyle of PA.
Thoughts?
