A call has been made for a stalemate in the game.

TheButcher agrees for Ground Zero
Vid agrees for Kraaken

Any objections by anyone currently playing?

My personal feelings are that a game "Battle of the Elite" should be played to the end, but I also can't force people to play in a game, and if the remaining teams want this result, and I failed to spell out the terms for a clear win in the beginning, I'm inclined to close the game.

No objections will result in the game being closed on or around 8pm EST tonight, and a stalemate called.

I have no objections considering that this type of edit and settings more often than not produces a stalemate. If it is possible to turtle, the team that is at a disadvantage will almost always do so. When it takes 3 times the assets to pull off a successful invasion, the invading corp is a at a disadvantage when the game progress to a certain point. A low death limit further promotes this outcome.

Live and learn sysops.

You would think that the Battle of the Elite would not end in a stalemate. That seems more like the battle of the mediocre. I expected someone to go for broke, not settle.

Refresh my memory. Were you playing in BOTE? If not, wouldn't that make you less than mediocre?

This post shows your lack of game knowledge and skill, with the way the edits setup and low death count, the first team that goes it to survival mode (c3) forces a stalemate. The game cant be won on invading at this point and both corps cant get in to each other bubbles, so really isnt much more that can be done. This has been pointed out many time before the game was started but curtain people wanted the game to stay "traditional" and past game have shown this edit/game (BOTE) to end it stalemate almost, half the time.

The second BOTE was agreed by both of the last corps standing to be a tie, no shame to either party, nor this year either.

Interesting only 1 corp fought to the finish. The rest......well nm. I guess it is a little tougher playing 1 on 1.

You all played too safe from the get-go. There should have only been one corp with a shielded planet, and the fact that you let each other advance beyond that... well...

Which corp had the most kills on the other two? Maybe that can be a deciding factor?

This is a death match game, not a stalemate except for the way you played it.

We played safe from the get go? If you remember correctly me and loc had a combined 20 kills before the first games lvl4 ROFL, but i guess you know how to play since you made it to the end , aww nevermind forgot you couldnt make it.

You all ? Didnt you have a corp in this tourney... Why didnt you stop us or them... ? Think before you speak...You're just as much to blame for teams getting L4...? always blaming someone else for your mistakes ...heard that a lot during the bote...


4 of 7 players are on there last SD... so there will be very little action in this game... we will load up our door planets as will they and just sit... GAME OVER...

orion said it well, "GAME OVER". RP announced the out come decided by both corps. This thread is becoming unproductive..gracias...
