🍻 Happy New Year, everyone! 🍻 Cheers to Incarnate & Raybondo, for making and supporting this great game we play! 🍻 Many thanks to everyone for helping make our awesome community what it is~

For the trivia event, Adalwolf had the most "first" correct answers with 4, and won a 1-month game key and 400k credits (100k per correct first answer)
For the buswar event, DylanH120 had the most kills at an amazing 32 (hot damn!) and won a 1-month game key and 320k credits (10k per kill)

For the finale, only myself and Twitchy dedicated capital vessels for the vessel "lighting", plus an accidental constellation I /killed; thanks for the contributions, NPCs, and to Twitchy!

Twitchy also hosted a pinata party leading up to the last hour, so lots of additional prizes were handed out through that. For that, there were 5 total capships donated, plus a number of subcapital pinatas! Give Twitchy a HUGE round of applause for helping fill in the event for additional time and for helping me keep myself sorted!

All capital vessels destroyed are recompensed at a million per.

Happy new years, space nerds.

I’m still working on rendering out the footage for these events. Apparently my audio settings were set horribly and my voice blows out the audio anytime I speak. If I can’t get it fixed by the end of this weekend, I’m probably just going to cut the audio and layer random music into it. Idk…
