I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.51Unexpected Situation

by fnovelpia

When it came to how the event would end and how rankings would be calculated, users couldn’t immediately know.

The reason wasn’t particularly special.

—————————————-

<Commanders, please take note to avoid any confusion.>

—————————————-

Surprisingly, whether they weren’t calculating event results in real-time or didn’t have a separate monitoring program, they boldly announced that event results would be tallied two weeks later.

Naturally, the user chat rooms and community forums transformed into the entrance of a burning hell.

WTF why are they telling us event results two weeks later LOLOLOLOL

Just quickly calculate ranks 1-10 and just display the UI for the rest, damn it;;

Comments:

-[Don’t know what this is about but upvoted]

-[They’re good at kidnapping and imprisoning the minds of at least 100,000 users in the game, but they can’t calculate event results? Pshh]

-[LOLOLOLOLOL]

-[Damn, the comment above makes sense]

-[Agreed]

—————————————-

Of course, as always, the developers didn’t bat an eye at these outbursts.

Due to the aggro drawn by the developers, interest in Icarus receiving the Pirate Empress’s surrender strangely died down.

==========

Two weeks after the event ended.

—————————————-

Except for users who had gone missing when their bases were completely destroyed, the remaining users couldn’t contain their excitement about finally seeing the results of the cursed event that had lasted over half a year.

To be precise, there had been almost no pirate raids in the past two weeks, nor had there been any space monsters respawning. Users had been reduced to resource gathering, construction, and upgrades.

Having suddenly found themselves playing an SF management game instead of an SF war game, users suffering from content drought had become ferocious and were going wild over the “seemingly significant” event the developers were promoting.

And finally… the general announcement from the developers appeared before the users’ eyes.

—————————————-

<First, we will share the overall event results.>

… … … … … …

—————————————-

Seeing these “insane” numbers right from the start, users who were writing posts in real-time on the community forum were absolutely losing it.

Classy pirate slaughterers!

Comments:

-[Really triggers that middle school syndrome feeling]

-[Hey there, pirate slayer-kun]

—————————————-

Of course, as with most users, only a small minority reacted after reading just the beginning of the announcement.

The rest paid no attention to what was happening in the community and continued reading the announcement.

—————————————-

<First, we will share the overall event results.>

<Next, the event rankings that Commanders have been waiting for.>

<1st. PandoPhile: 10,550 points>

<2nd. Raksha: 10,149 points>

<3rd. Icarus: 10,054 points>

<4th. Arcadia: 10,002 points>

<5th. Tteokbokki: 9,515 points>

<6th. ForestDryer: 9,489 points>

<7th. Betelgeuse: 9,153 points>

<8th. Arto: 8,710 points>

<9th. MosquitoDieDie: 8,397 points>

<10th. BosniaOut: 7,999 points>

—————————————-

After seeing the rankings and excluding the miscellaneous explanations, users were…

Extremely surprised by the fact that “Icarus,” who hadn’t been visible in the top 10 or even the top 100 before the event, had suddenly taken 3rd place.

Or more precisely, rather than surprise…

How does someone who wasn’t even in the rankings suddenly shoot up?

Seriously, what’s this guy doing?

Comments:

-[Isn’t that the person the Pirate Empress surrendered to?]

-˪[Wasn’t that a lie? Was it real?]

-˪[It must be real if they ranked 3rd.]

Everyone knows this person got the Pirate Empress to surrender at the end, landing a final blow of sorts

But even considering that, the score is way too overwhelming?

So I calculated based on my own ranking score, and this person’s score

It seems like all the PVE victory points accumulated when the Pirate Empress was fighting and winning against users were calculated as PVP victories for them.

Comments:

-[What does this even mean?]

-˪[They got the same points as someone who won dozens of consecutive PVP matches alone]

-[Damn LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[Is this crappy game for real? LOLOLOLOLOL]

-[What kind of nonsense is this LOLOL]

—————————————-

The atmosphere was filled with random criticism about the developers’ bizarre scoring system.

Before long, the community forum once again became a blazing campfire over this issue…

But the person in question, Icarus himself…

===========

“Who am I?”

“The great Commander who shines at 3rd place in the rankings!”

“…Hmm, this is much more burdensome than I expected.”

Without giving it much serious thought,

He was contemplating how to naturally show off.
