And the winner is.........

[The Billionaire]

Well, congratulations to a number of people.

Firstly Gree for another profitable weekend no doubt.

Secondly The Art of War for another solid performance.

but most importantly

The ATX crew

For winning $5,000,000,000!!!

The ATX crew predicted 222,222,222 IP would be scored by the top 10 syndicates over the weekend.

The ATX crew prediction was made by a forum member called Chaosxxx (PM me Chaos and i'll transfer the funds)

Thanks A&F for getting the list posted so quickly. After using the official list to calculate how many points the Top 10 scored, i can tell you that The ATX crew were only 9,511 points away from being spot on. That's pretty good going although the prediction does seem to be a random guess so in that case you got lucky. As for everyone else that entered in the usual Gree fashion:

BLNT

The Top 10 teams scored a total of 222,212,711 points.

We had 125 syndicates enter the competition

Two syndicates made a typo in their predictions. If the Top 10 teams put up more than a billion IP during a weekend then please seek help, immediately!

Here's the full lists, congrats everyone!

Thanks Bill for giving the forums something fun to do.

I Hope Gree sees this and does it for free gold next time.

Looks like ip declined this war whereas it increased by a fair amount last two wars. Twas why I predicted over 300m

I am surprised the points went down. they had been going up

I am surprised the points went down. they had been going up

The only thing that drives scores up is increased competition in one form or another. Last war was unusually high since two teams took a run at 1st-- bleeding SAS dry in the process, no way they could afford to take another failed shot at it again (and it should've been obvious they wouldn't try again, since they immediately spread rumors that they would). The only other example I can think of with unusually high scores was that one a few months back where a few new (ie non-top10) teams challenged for top 10-- something like 12 of them IIRC-- including FC2, DFA, and maybe OGK who weren't established top 10 teams yet. It was that awful war they extended the prize tiers, whenever that was. I think the top 10 mark ended around 22-23mil IP, which is more on par with a typical 3rd place (pre-extra IP bonuses, at least).

Lol anything for being 2nd place? But Thanks Bill for making a nice event to help the community. And congrats to the ATX Crew.

[cooch]

Nice Bill as always. Way to help add some excitement and help some lower syns.

Too bad Gree doesn't do things like this but if gold is not in picture forget it.

[The Night Prowler]

Thanks Bill great game and fun to join in. Hope it gets done again.
And BOO to the top Ten for not scoring more points Like about 60m more. Note to all top 10 MUST TRY HARDER.
