The last round lasted for 3 months, and I finished in top 20. I must say that the last two months of the round was all about the hunt for universal created planets with special commudities on and defending those who were worth keeping.
So in the round which started few days ago I plan not to join (read: you never know). The time I got for this is assigned for code-debugging AAT and hopefully find and solve the few bugs there is currently.
