The winners of Fledging Admirals II are:
* Lil Halpas, played by regiss
* Sitting Ducks, played by Dolphin/Dirk
Congratulations to this unusual pair of winners!
Well, that's a rather surprising result since both players are in different alliances and... at war with each others. But from what I've seen of the game, I can fully understand the decision of the players.
Regiss would prefer to call it unfinished/undetermined, Paul (Atlantians) hasn't voted (due to ISP-troubles), everybody else has agreed. And regiss is right, I think nobody will object to it, that this game can be only called unfinished.
I am sorry for all the trouble, the bugs, delays etc. this game has seen. It seems that in FAII everything what possibly could go wrong did go wrong. We started at ah and crashed it regularly, had to change to manual generation, switched to an internet-interface-based generation again (thanks a lot to Paul for this) and then in the 70th game year server/ISP/webhoster/whatever crashed. I salute my players for their stubborness to cling to this game. Let me assure you, especially the beginners, that this is NOT the norm. FA1 for example went smoothly without bugs, almost no delays, even no dropouts.
Nevertheless, when looking at your turns, you were able to develop a really exciting game with lots of action on the diplomatic as much as on the warfare frontier. And I got the impression that all of you learned a lot and taught each other well. I, at least, am quite impressed what kind of stunts you pulled off in a beginner/intermediate game.
Here an overview showing the game in 2470:
