Congrats to all the winning commanders! They were certainly far more dedicated to winning than I was. I hope the prize money comes in helpful, or is at least fun to spend
I had fun venturing into open mode, and I'm glad this competition pushed my to try it out. I was afraid of griefers and cheaters and gaming-gods making it a miserable experience, but most of my experiences were very positive. People really seem to listen in this game and they love their roleplay

Open mode has been a fair challenge thus far. Still lovin it.
Any idea if there will be anymore competitions in the future? I wouldn't expect more $15,000 prizes, but maybe some lesser rewards just to keep things interesting.
