The final TLF ranks (e'er!)

I’ve been puttin' off postin' these results… it just doesn’t seem right that a game I’ve invested half a decade into could be so easily erased.

As this is a special occasion, I’ve decided t' show more ships & teams on th' summary page than normal…

Congrats t' th' dedicated members o' team MSS… though it’s a score bug ship, unless Ray comes out o' hidin' and deems it an invalid score, REEF1 is clearly superior t' all o' us, and a bottle of rum! 😛
And havin' a team rankin' o' #7 is somethin' t' be proud o'.

I’m very pleased that 7 o' me original ships made it into th' top 11 (The Robottt ships were donated t' me by Q when I joined DBD) and that team MPE, under th' guidance o' th' resourceful Cap'n Bestark, maintained our #1 position t' th' very end.

To all th' people that have e'er played TLF…

Thanks fer th' memories, it’s been an honor t' play with most (some?) o' ye!

PS This site will be maintained by me fer as long as I can… It’s exact future is still yet t' be determined.

I were bein' about t' post th' latest rankin's from TLR and realised that I haven’t done one fer TLF fer quite a while… and with th' loomin' threat o' a sudden shutdown o' th' IORESORT.COM server, it may very well be th' last one I’ll e'er post.

The first two ships here are victims o' th' score bug… there are only two know ways t' fix th' score on these ships.
1 – Leave th' ships in th' hospital and they’ll disappear from th' rankin's
2 – Hunt them down and kill them when they leave th' hospital… eventually th' score bug will occur again and th' score will be reset t' zero.

We’re all livin' on borrowed time in TLF… this could be th' last chance ye’ll e'er have t' extract yer revenge, so log in and play… NOW!

Update time!!!

Major movements in th' ranks as a lot o' people take their frustrations out on KC.

Kudos t' Duks & th' remainin' loyal MSS players who have played a major part in th' destruction o'er th' last couple o' weeks!
And I also have t' thank Bestark, fer his determination t' see so many MPE ships on th' first page 😀

More t' come, as KC prepares his counter attack… decisions decisions, which ships out o' his inherited hundreds will he use?

Cheers,
KRY

Okay, I’ll admit it, I’ve been a very lazy person… no score updates fer 6 weeks?

What’s been happenin' lately, to be sure? Not much actually, it appears t' be holiday season in th' northern hemisphere, resultin' in even fewer players than normal 🙁

Worth mentionin' though are th' followin' two chain o' events.

* Mir arranged fer a ship sitter t' look after his ships while he’s off.
* Mir then reported his ships stolen… all o' th' passwords had been changed.
* Nimrod publicly accuses KRY o' stealin' his teammates ships.
* The ship sitter were bein' revealed t' be KC (how many ships are ye lookin' after now?), and Mir were bein' able t' get t' his ships again.
* And th' last we heard… th' passwords have been changed again 😛
* And we’re still waitin' fer a retraction o' Nimrod’s accusation! And swab the deck! 😀

* RAGEAGAINSTTHEMACHINE were bein' released from th' hospital, with th' score bug still in full effect.
* RAGEAGAINSTTHEMACHINE were bein' returned t' th' hospital…
* Repeat th' above two events another 20-50 times…
* RAGEAGAINSTTHEMACHINE now has a score o' 0! The overflow bug that gave th' ship th' ridiculously high score had finally been triggered again, resultin' in an underflow calculation.
* KC accuses B.M o' havin' admin access t' th' server, and o' tamperin' with th' ship’s score. ROFLMAO, I challenge anyone who believes this is possible t' install th' SST game and t' actually have a look at what options an admin actually has.

And lastly… I’ve jumped teams, by Davy Jones' locker! I’ve joined forces with Bestark and Spiro, and me ships are now on MPE. I’m still allied with th' remainin' members on team KRY.

Cheers,
KRY
