END ROUND SUMMARY This was a round of events noteworthy for recordation beyond the small summaries of late. The Terris Lien Strategists (TLS) accomplished what has not been accomplished in many turns of the asteroid... the entire clan occupied the top positions. Such a feat had not been accomplished since Round 6, when HC dominated Cincomm-9. Of course, it is no small thing or coincedence that core members of HC are the core members of TLS. But as the game has grown in size it has grown increasingly harder to achieve total clan dominance such as was displayed this round. But perhaps in the most surprising turn of events of the round, clan leader and founder Kevlar disbanded TIOC9. Ironically, Kevlar first began accepting members into his clan, The Institution of Cincomm-9, in Round 6, the round that HC dominated. While HC occupied the top, they might not have noticed the section leader in the number 8 HOF spot. But he would go on to be one of great consequence for the legacy of HC and Cincomm-9 at large. That round marked his first entry into the Hall of Fame, and having established himself it seems he felt ready to expand. And expand he did, taking in and working with many section leaders that would go on to make their own entries in the HOF under the TIOC9 banner, including Suburbianj, Demelitia, NeroC, Newcomb, and the leader that would become his right-hand man, Justinsane. In total, TIOC9 went on to earn 16 HOF stars, a number which ties them for first place with the clan some identify as the best of all time, Higher Calling. 16 stars in 7 rounds of play puts TIOC9 at a blistering pace of a little better than 2 entries per round. And so Kevlar's entry into the HOF during HC's cycle of dominance would eventually lead to TIOC9 climbing up onto the number 1 platform along side HC as the top two clans per HOF entries. One has to wonder whether Kevlar himself was aware of how close TIOC9 was to becoming the number 1 clan in terms of HOF stars of all time. But that is a question that will remain unanswered, and the record setting number 17 remains out there for the next great, rising clan to achieve. Irony upon irony, where is mighty Kevlar now, you may wonder? With none other than the current clan of dominance, the successor to HC, and now perhaps the clan which could be called the clan of Elders, the Terris Lien Stratigists. And Kevlar's right-hand man, the top general of TIOC9 who earned the clan its only number 1 finish back in Round 9, a great section leader in his own right, Justinsane... where is he now? He has now obtained the title of Elder himself, and started a new clan, Insanity is King (CRAZY), which, I am told, is avowed to end the reign of the TLS. A good solid finsih by FOM as well, placing two members in the HOF. NEXT ROUND COMMENTARY |
