N-Day2 is Over
Thank you for nuking! N-Day2 has now concluded. I hope you came through relatively radiation-free.
Congratulations to Totally Not the AA of Augustin Alliance who topped the leaderboard with 124,923 points! That's the second N-Day that this faction, or something that looks a lot like it, has won.
Well done also to UPPERCUT of various Pacifics, who provided close competition with 113,844 points.
