Just going to give everyone a heads up. I'm going to be away for the 18th to the 20th and then again from the 25th to the 27th. I'll still have access to email, but direct all questions to Araxis while I'm gone.

And the first AGQ Olympiad is done! The competition was a smashing success, with 34 players participating. Competition was furious, with the top spots changing almost daily. The eventual top ten was as follows:

1. Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae, 226,857,324 credits!
2. Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae, 96,255,959 credits.
3. Wuntila Zratian Entar Arconae, 61,727,157 credits.
4. Celahir Erinos, 28,311,329 credits.
5. Cyberguy Quiritatio Entar, 20,792,301 credits.
6. Koryn Thraagus, 8,975,083 credits.
7. Akatsuki Tamalar, 6,815,868 credits.
8. Jason Hunter, 6,508,449 credits.
9. Furios Morega, 6,225,716 credits.
10. Varoth, 5,545,531 credits.

Obviously, results ended up being lopsided, with Strategos in particular building up a massive lead. But fear not! Next round, you do not need to fear a repeat, as he's volunteered to step down as a player and has become part of the administrative team, instead. Moreover, he's decided to share some of his skills with us, in the form of the Arcona Galaxy Quest Guide.

Congratulations to all winners, and we hope to see you soon. Round 2 will start in about 20 hours from now, and signups have already been opened!

Hey all,

There are some of us that are going to be playing Diablo III. Since you can have open public games, it would be good to have a list of DB members' Battletags so we can connect.

My battletag is JacCotelin#1780. I am going to be playing a Barbarian at first.

Post yours on the comments if you are going to be playing, along with your expected class.

Jac
