1 Jameson's run will get you top 25% easy

Also true if one happens to have fully stocked Encodeds and no other use for them, for a "relatively quick" conversion into cash.
If everyone who contributed to the trade side of the CG decided to sneak into the top 25% on the data side, the data CG would hit Tier 4 and win by some distance, so let's not get carried away here
I'm impressed
It will be a draw anyway - because tiers. Still - the event's been planned as pathetic one sided thing, it's nice that it didn't discourage community from doing what's right.
It's been one of the closest competitive CGs in the Maker knows how long. But sure, whatever.
Also, CG text spoke of 'highest proportionate completion', not 'highest tier'. Open to interpretation, but certainly allows FDev to declare a winner regardless of both ending on Tier 3.
Not really. Proportional completions are 44.03% vs. 32.42%. The former proportion is higher, i.e. this CG wins.
Baseless and biased comment.
The CG has been one of the most balanced and engaging ones to date, and in the end only the decision to support one side for moral reasons decided the victor.
And the winner is clear because it is based on proportion, not just tier.
730 ls vs. 32k ls. Mats that don't even require cargo rack vs commodities. Rewards - 18 milions vs. 72 milions at the same tier. Competitive you say? Somehow I look at those numbers - and I don't see it.
That's what I'm expecting to be the declared result. But, y'know, FDev...
It was so balanced that allegedly loosing side will get 4x higher rewards than winning one. So balanced, that one side could do it with the sidewinder, when the other required a lot of cargo racks. So balanced that one side had to drop goods 43 times further from the star than the other.
It was as balanced as running competition, where one guy has to run 1km, but the other has to run marathon - with broken legs on top of that. Because "balance". Yeah, right.
yet they still won..
Looking forward to seeing your ideas on balance then. Three days before the winner pulled away is going pretty well in comparison to most
Edit: If people want to see unbalanced ... tune in about 2 hours from now
Right, we won!
... that was really nice CG and maybe that these disadvanatges were a reason why people so cooperated in the end. I"m definitelly pleased with my support to independent Dredger and little sad that it was not enough for reach Tier4 which was not too far at CGs end.That shows that they were better. And it is just and proper - better side should win. But if somebody breaks legs of one comptetitor - don't call it balance, just because he was still able to win. It is not balance - it is just failure of biased setup.
Because many people with FCs spent a lot of time, effort, and money. I personally have never spent so much effort on a CG. Not even 20%. It was the best community organization I have seen at a CG so far, my squadron alone managed support with over 25 FCs. Still, we couldn't even hit 50%.
one way of looking at it
another way would be that if FDev has been looking at this forum and the responses/support the scriveners have been getting then they knew that the community would be on this side, so rather than have another unbalanced CG they balanced the CG/Goals/Rewards to make it a much closer (if not one of the closest) CG's we've had.
Balancing in CG's is not about making the numbers equal, its about getting the actual competing CG's close
