   There's a big mistake. Universita' degli Studi di Bologna, Bologna, Italy was in control of Italian Animator during all the three round

   The control in this case meant that either Academy had to have the actual gateway in their hold by summoning structures. Gateway ownership wasn't count for this one.

   And well yes: The Italian Animator Academy had the control of the gateway "Universita' degli Studi di Bologna" for all the three round, obtained with doms. We thought that placing doms and keeping gateway green was enough to "hold" a gateway; we had battles, sneaking attacks from Architects, potions burn-out, all-night-long guards for, let me say, "nothing". I'm a bit disappointed, and with me, i guess, all the Italian Animator Academy.

   I agree with Gareth!

   The Università of Bologna remains green (and gateways around) for ALL three round Khamos with minum 15 - 20 doms attached to it and other various dom in gateway around

   Uhm, Universite Laval was green all week without fail. The Canadian battlegroup made sure of it; Lukenator's beacon was accessible throughout the entire campaign, practically right on top of the gateway.

   confirmed about the italian university! Hold for all three rounds, with many structures always attached to it... I've never seen it with architect's structures...

   I confirm about the "università degli studi di Bologna". We hold that position for all three rounds, I've never seen architects structures there!

   I subcsribe the previous comments: the gateway of the university of Bologna was never and ever been coloured in Orange... There must be a Big mistake!

    Does it really matter what universities we had that weren't listed above if we won anyway?

    Wow, you sprouts are quite the whiney-babies!! Calm down--even without the supposed mistakes, ya'll still won. Geez.

    Quite easy to say when you aren't on the team being cheated out of rightful credit for their accomplishment.

    Haha.. we had control of about 10-13 academies consistently throughout the entire campaign, don't think for once that the score was ever as close as 8:7 ;) And yes it is a huge mistake, like reporting a hockey score of 8 goals to 7 goals(Canadians know what I'm talking about), when reality it was more like 12 goals to 3 goals. The difference between simply winning, and a sweeping show of power and victory is significant.

    The way I see it, there are three possibilities for the discrepancy in data. One: GA has made an error in gathering the data due to a server glitch/error; two: the majority of us were fighting over the wrong gateways, and the ones GA was pulling data from are not the ones that were contested all week; or three: GA has intentionally skewed the data in order to make the campaign appear closer than it actually was.

    I really cannot understand how did you check time of maintaining that position. I can swear we held down there often more than22-25 'entities' for the whole campaign. Ask Americans who helped us strongly to keep it clear from Arcs.....

    Annihilon (Enlightened) on 09/02/2011 5:09 p.m.

    The data from the last campaign was questionable too, with many people getting 25k energy for the campaign and not even making on the list, while I was able to make 6th place with just 30k. Maybe they should start posting specific numbers to back up their lists.

    The reason why GA provided this result is obvious. I think all of you understand now remote doms were out there before and during this campaign. They have been used and attached to multiple universities gateways by animators so those gateways didn't turn orange at all last week. I am not saying it's any of you did it but some animators did such a "favor" to all animators. Tell us, animator friends, will you bother to defend a gateway when you are not even able to "convert" it because of this issue? I personally felt very disappointed when I witnessed at least 3 university gateways in such case. GA knows about this all along and didn't do anything until it's too late. The best GA can do is to admit the issue and cancel the campaign. Sadly, it didn't happen and instead we were given this skewed results. Just mind you, I felt insulted like all you did.

    We're looking into this, everyone. We apologize for the confusion and hope to have an update early next week.

    I don't think Sydney, Laval or Bologna ever changed hands. I thnk they were always green. Yale went back and forth, so I was happy to see that in our column.

    comicy: I know that there was at least one time when UT Austin was attacked that the only thing holding it Animator was one of my dominators that I walked painstakingly away from the gateway away from the other dominators. So, if you had any frustration in taking UT, it would have been my fault and not a remote Dom cheat. I've never seen a green gateway with nothing attached to it. If I ever do, the cheater is going to be thrown to you.

    Bardfinn (Archmage) on 09/02/2011 9:26 p.m.

    Sydney started Architect and was so for at least a day. Maybe two. Uni laval had changed hands at least twice that I witnessed. It didn't stay Architect for long.

    Styxe (Enlightened) on 09/02/2011 11:08 p.m.

    I cannot believe in those results. We kept the status of all universities updated all the time in comments for organizing attacks. Like most of the time there were like 3 universities that were orange. Rest green. I would really like to have GA shed light into the calculating algorithm for this campaign. Also I am very very sure both sides conquered the correct gateways.

    Styxe (Enlightened) on 09/02/2011 11:09 p.m.

    maybe next time make the gateways in question appear as blue when neutral, if that could be supported by an update

    Let me say that the idea behind this campaign was brilliant. There need to be more all out battles b/w Animators and Architects. The reasoning behind the above posts is a testament to how seriously players took it. With that said, I concede that University of Florida was architect controlled. However, my doms at Bologna were present at least 2 out of the 3 rounds. I agree that the results do not appear accurate. Based on the intensity of the campaign, I believe that proper credit is due to those that worked tirelessly to defend their university. KNUCKLES!!! I'm still coming after yous!!

    Laval university was never in control of the architects I personally claimed the first gateway at the university and claimed the realm. I also led the worm that went to the university. In addition I had 5 dominators and a beacon (and still have two dominators and the beacon up) through the entire campaign. Green can check beacon list of it's age to confirm. It was never attacked.

    ppl! you still won! now stop complaining!

    AuraMaster! You're still clueless! Now stop posting!

    Fearstriker (Channeler) on 09/06/2011 8:05 p.m.

    I have to say. Yes it was a mistake. But you still won I don't see the reason for complaining.
29. 

    Hyac (Awakened) on 09/07/2011 2:19 a.m.

    And I have to say: you would not be saying as much had you been on the winning team, but had your work and effort not only marginalised but entirely dismissed, as those who fought hard to keep Laval and Bologna did.

    Seldon (Archmage) on 09/08/2011 1:03 a.m.

    I'm personally curious how the mistake happened. Seems like the kind of thing that would be obvious from the data.
31. 

    Hyac (Awakened) on 09/08/2011 2:17 a.m.

    One would think. But considering the blatant flaws in the data, it apparently isn't so simple.

    Fearstriker (Channeler) on 09/10/2011 4:15 p.m.

    True Hyac I probably wouldn't

    TheWicked (Awakened) on 09/24/2011 12:55 a.m.

    I agree with the architects, why does it matter if we still won the battle altogether?
34. 

    Hyac (Awakened) on 09/26/2011 8:26 p.m.

    If you have to ask Wicked, you clearly didn't work very hard defending any of the Academies on the Architect list.
