Anyone know?
What the highest ranked a solo player has achieved? And by solo, i mean a player who was not part of an alliance from start to finish.

Re: Anyone know?
In theory you could say JBG was solo as he never actually got defence from an alliance, he was just in ascendancy for the crack.

Re: Anyone know?
Joker, Round 1? (came 3rd)
I didn't play r1 so I don't know anything about him really, plus Scouses site now appears to be down

Re: Anyone know?
He was in various alliances, just nothing big/noteworthy. I know rob came about 40th or so in r15 and he was completely solo the whole way.

I'd be surprised if I was the highest-ranked solo player ever. That said, I can't spot many on a quick browse through the rankings on PAWiki. There are a few in round 9 who have no alliance listed and it's feasible that they had no alliance. Being in an Eclipse/ToT galaxy was probably enough protection without an alliance

Re: Anyone know?
I would give it to JBG if its true he never recieved any defence, although if the nightly ascendancy attacks were well organised raids i guess its not 100% solo.

Wouldn't want to take anything away from you, nor and I saying you don't realise - but not very hard to do in a good gal with the added bonus of XP and a game of 1000 active players. In the PaX era though, I'd say you're almost certainly the highest.

I can't really remember at this point if I ever received any defence, certainly didn't receive any from ascendancy, I don't think so but I wouldn't be sure. At one point kruger gave me some resources so i could rebuild my fleet and attack that night (he was a galmate). The nightly ascendancy attacks weren't organised raids in any real sense. I used to pick my targets early on, about 7pm usually, after target-searching through sandmans myself. Some others also did this and some others would attack after them. I remember rember and bwtmc took waves after me fairly often.

Ascendency doesn't do nightly attacks. It's more like you pick your own targets and book it with the bot, so there's no conflicts. The highest level of "organization" that went on was when someone asked in channel if someone wanted to team up with them, or if someone happened to attack the same galaxy as someone else. The only ascendency-related organized (or anywhere near that term) attack at all in round 16 that i can remember was on rain's gal towards the end of the round.
I'd give it to JBG--but some of the earlier rounds were harder to get the upper ranks than PAX rounds--so if you're looking for effort put into a solo account, there's no doubt that in the earlier rounds it was harder to get top ranks compared to now, or the last few rounds.
