All else nullified because of a turn of events. Of course none of this is true, but for Eclipse it was easy to portray us as such and the rest of the universe to see Elysium in such light when you have airhead planetarion celebs spouting crap here and telling them to stuff it might have these jesters packing their bags making AD more of a tombstone.
In the end an alliance from the winning block took the trophy according to the new PaX score mechanisms that would've been theirs already by the old scoring system. It was not won by the alliance whom had a staff member running defence with his multiplanets, nor by the alliance that managed to avoid brutal incomings till the end of round (or even totally) and one being of lesser military strength. Between these contenders I saw the final rankings fitting.
