Players started on a 55-sector continent, a choice of their initial start continent from the choice from 3 flavors, Vanilla, Chocolate, or Strawberry.  The start continents included a 100% stocked fort.  There were small 7-sector expansion islands (60 total expansion islands) between the players, with one deity mil defending each expansion sector.  The expansion islands in the East-West direction were much closer than the north/south onese to the start islands, making them both vulnerabilites and liabilities.

Beep and Rook allied early and their teamwork led to an early dominating lead in the power chart.  During the beep-Rook domination, Aquitaine kept poking jabs at their dominance in an attempt to rally the world against them, whilst some players were considering tossing their towels. The beep-Rook alliance domination ended at around the 23rd update, when Ricin claimed the #1 spot in the power chart which he held until the endgame.

Dorsai, the replacement player for Savioa at update #9, drove the tech lead until update #24, until Euforia got his economic Sim City into full efficiency, and Euforia drove the tech ladder home.

The beep-Rook alliance ran into difficulty around update #32, when Rook tried to battle Aquitaine on Aquitaine's annexation of the Anguiron continent, beep was gearing up for an incredibly dug-in Cincinnati, while Ricin continued his expansion into Perdition.  Thus, Rook was defeated on the Anguiron continent, and Cincinnati chewed up enough of beep's focus for Ricin to gain ground.

Ricin and Shakespeare meanwhile were in talks of forming an alliance, which must have been tricky grounds for Shakespeare, as Shakespeare and beep worked together earlier in the game on the twistle island.  Wicked joined their alliance, and Rook and beep islands started dissappearing.

Aquitaine took on a personal battle with Limbo, but Aqui's personal life (burp) drowned out his abilities to focus a decent attack on the Limburger.

The final straw was drawn when Rook missed a few updates, and Ricin and Shakespeare capitalized on his absense and overran his Darkness and home continents in a matter of 3 updates.

It was a game for the books for a summer game.  20 players entered, 8 survived until endgame.  One player was the winner, Ricin.  Plenty of sheep jokes were shared.  We even had guest appearances by Metallica and Overlord, and even Finland popped into the visitor barn portal (peep-hole) for a sniff.

By the end of the game, Ricin had a 2x power score lead over the #2 country in the power charts.
