Good-day Annihilators!
The Annihilation of Exegol thread has come to a conclusion. Whilst not quite as epically long as Tython it was still a great turnout with over 700 posts being registered. In the end though it required judgement so I thank my fellow staff members for providing their thoughts and views on this.
Participation
This thread was noticeable for the number of writers and alts from all sides taking part. From close examination of the thread both sides were somewhat punctual with posting. However, it was clear that the attackers had their stories prepared and worked together very well. The co-ordination and teamwork shown was just not shown as much by the defenders. Almost entirely they worked alone or with their opponents, but rarely together.
It was also noticeable that some of the defenders slowed as the thread progressed sometimes leaving the attackers to RP amongst themselves until the defender replied. Therefore, this category goes to the attacking alliance.
Attacker Victory
Tension
ension is what drives a competitive thread environment. The way both sides interact, how fair those interactions are and how unique they are all adds to how interesting the story is. There were certainly good encounters in this thread, and both sides handled their own stories well. However, there was very little tension for the overall result of the thread. The attackers executed their plan with little or no interference from the defenders, the fleeting battle was a stalemate and the ground battle barely progressed.
Therefore, one must look to the tension of moments like Kyrel Ren vs Valery and Kahlil Noble which were interesting. However, due to the way those struggles played out neither side can claim credit. As a result of a general lack of overall tension and the cooperation between writers Tension has been judged as a tie.

Story
An annihilation's story is supposed to be the conflict raging around the destruction of a planet. The attackers trying to wipe it out, while the defenders seek to drive them back to protect what's theirs. However, from the start of this thread the Maw writers were on the defensive, reading their opening posts it felt like their characters expected the planet to fall from the start. The attackers had a clear plan about what and how they wanted to accomplish their goals. In contrast the defenders never had a clear plan or cohesion. There was never a conflict between faction plots, just small individual stories, which is why this is a clear attacker win.
Attacker Victory
Drama
Staff is aware of no incidents or issues IC or OOC resulting in drama or toxicity. From what we have seen the thread was written fairly and without any known breaks in the rules. If there were disputes, they were resolved quickly and quietly between writers without staff or public airing. This is to be applauded and so this category is a Tie.

Exegol will be Annihilated by the attackers!
Thank you all for your participation and efforts. There are far too many people to mention everyone but some stand-outs include Valary & Khalil Noble vs Kyrel Ren, Amani Serys vs Surea, Keilara Kala'myr with The Manifold et al and Cybelle Elyance vs Darth Temerant.
Thank you all once again and for now, its boom time!
