Scooped! :) I was meaning to post a big thank you myself, but Zerras beat me to it.
We did it! 4 months, many battles, 1 loss, 16 wins, surprise assist from an unexpected 3rd party (Drunk Tanks), and a tie to the finish line with Old Republic Dads.
Looks like we have 25 members with the Galaxy Conqueror title today. Congratulations to everyone.
In addition to the thank you's Zerras made, I would like to make a personal special thanks to all the "little people". While about 10 of our members put up half our points, 7 times that many people put up the other half. I want to thank everyone who contributed, and especially those who diverted time from other things to contribute and help. I am personally touched by those that came together for the whole guild community.
While Zerras already mentioned Bam, I would like to add to that. I know better than most how much he did for this. In particular his handling of the "people side" of things, both friend, ally, and foe. I empathize with how heavy a burden that is. Enjoy the speeder Bam, you earned it. :)
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my "grumpiness". At times I became a little too invested in conquest, and I'm sorry to anyone who bore the brunt of my outbursts in pressure situations.
Looking to the future, we will need to think about how we will handle conquests going forward. Many members still need planets. I know I will be able to put up some good numbers in the next 2 weeks. But for the most part, I'm looking forward to a little bit of rest, and enjoying the holidays.
Some accolades, just for the fun of it:
Most characters to conquest goal in a single week
Bam, with 15. Agro came second with 13.
Other contenders in this category were (in no particular order) Ebay, Forest, Aelerin, Ernesto.
Agro got the most goals total with 163 over the 17 weeks.
Most points in a single week
Bam, with 4.9 million (guess which week). Tragun 2nd (3.1 mil), Drakkit 3rd (2.3 mil).
Agro topped this category more than anyone else, winning 8 weeks (out of 17).
Most points in a week with a single character
Bam, 875000. Drakkit 2nd, 620k. Tragun 3rd, 469k.
Other noteables: Damaone, Varna, Sincru, Agro, Egg, Apoffis.
Best weekly average of characters
Tragun, 555000. Drakkit 2nd, 389k. Agro 3rd, 113k.

Olecranon won this more than anyone else with 6 (of 17) weeks.

Olecranon, with 56000 (harmonic mean).
Most points overall
Agro, with a come from behind win in the final week at 16.2 MILLION points, topping Bam's 15.98 mil by 250k. A recount is pending as Agro has taken over data entry (just kidding Agro). Tragun a distant and forgetable 3rd with a measly 12 mil.
Modesty Award
Wystella, for contributing a large number of points, but managing to do it without topping the charts in any of the categories, and being so darn cheery about it the whole time. Thanks Wy.
