Honestly no one called it out because no one cares about the nw eor ranks. You only save and jump if you have absolutely nothing else to do.

You’re definitely right, but a lot also share the opinion that NW is the true winner.
After all, net worth literally means “net value”.
@Orion that’s just more speculation 
If nobody ever cared then people wouldn’t compete for that spot, and people clearly do even if you guys didn’t.
That’s all speculation! 
I’d say it would have made it much more difficult on us surely. Not sure with the time left it’d have been enough to take the size win from us. Would have made it a lot more nerve wracking though haha. And potentially could have lost the size win if it was a 3 v 1. I was on quite the roll though. The 2 v 1 was a nice challenge, but we were never in any danger of losing that. Frosty, Mund, Random, and I put in some long days last eor haha.
We were at war till EOR

Gotta say this. I hate plain NW jumps if fam has enemies to fight. Why jump fleet if you don´t even let the attacker use it. He has fought for your fam for whole round (usually) and usually enjoys using big fleet. Just cancel some NAP and let your attacker loose! 
Size wins. NW is decoration.

How many would it take for you stop looking at it as speculation? Nw is literally what fams that cant win p count aim for. Nobody starts a round like oh baby idc if we have 500 planets as a fam lets nap everyone and get that nw win. That’s not even playing IC lol. We didn’t win NW because it wasn’t a priority, because it was an afterthought. It was an afterthought because it didn’t matter much to us. The only people that think nw is more important than p count are people whose IC opinion’s hold little weight with me. They are likely noobs, bitter they can’t win p count, or the owner of Ic lol. No offense. I love noobs, people that can’t win p count, and the owner 
.
What is funny is literally nobody has said NW win was more important. Size win is #1 goal imo, and to purely dominate you need to win size and nw.
I rest my case. 
Nobody in this thread
@YoungWolf_WiLd you have a perfectly valid opinion there. But it is exactly that, an opinion.
This is more of what I was getting at. It’s not lost on me that the people here who are most strongly downplaying the value of a NW win are the people who didn’t win it.
A truly dominant fam will win both, not talk about how the thing the didn’t win isn’t important. Only then is their dominance unquestionable.
Again, I’m not saying 50 didn’t do great. They did. But they did not win both ranks, and therefore did not definitively win the round. That’s not a matter of opinion; there were literally 2 winners instead of 1.
The fact that the ranks say what they do reflects something about 46’s ability as much as they reflect something about 50’s missed opportunity.
None of this matter, The only thing that does is that I win and you all are losers.
Pretty sure our fam (50) was still sitting on a load of savings at eor, we didnt even speak of eor jump in fam chat from memory, just kept on fighting til final tik 
A great example of size being top priority was This round
This was with the dodgy morale formula where the 2 top fams dumped all infra in the effort to gain morale for the size win!
To be fair family 50 was cancelled on by 3 fams last week of the round. They only gained planets from that which imo is either good skill or just bad skill from the other 3 fams.
Also everybody can see in this forum that the round has only been ended cause of family 50 being a clear winner.
NW win shows only that you can save good. Maybe a better representive even would be score which shows 50 was leading the entire round both size as nw
They were a clear winner at the time the vote happened, but that isn’t EoR ranks, and they didn’t hold onto this distinction.
People can have whatever opinions they like, but a week later at the final tick they were not the singular, definitive winner that they had been earlier in the round. The fact (presumption, technically) that they could have NW jumped if they cared is irrelevant.
I believe people are downplaying 46’s achievement here, they certainly did more than just “save good”. In the end, they shared the win with 50, and this is what our ranking history will show long after people forget the details of the round.
Yeah later they will see 46 won nw and 50 won size and they know 50 made optimal use of their econ and 46 didnt.
Still score shows 50 dominated the round and so people can really see its merely an eor jump
Or does score not show anymore? Thats how much attention i pay lol
Score got officially killed awhile ago, and recently removed from some lingering pages. It’s always been flawed.
I’d argue the EoR ranks show the exact opposite. Low planet to nw ratio means that from a build perspective, 46 did more with fewer resources than 50 did in the final turns. They proved a more optimal econ because 50 didn’t care to prove it at all.
And that’s fine, but you and I can only have differing opinions on the round’s end result specifically because there was no singular round winner.
When a family wins both, this conversation isn’t even possible.

I didn’t say no one cared, I’m simply saying people primarily focus on size and will jump if they have some leftovers because they didn’t spend it all in war or don’t have an eor war at all.
Because you don’t want speculation, here’s a fact - Not one family which could compete for the size win would start the round with the idea of pursuing a nw victory. Every family which could compete for the nw win if that would be their main goal, will, however, compete for a size win.
Size. Period.

You did though:
Anyway:
That’s not at all a fact. A reasonable assumption perhaps, but not a fact.
A good example of why that isn’t always true is a round last year where we had one player intentionally stay at about 10 planets but played a very specific strategy to get huge in NW.
He wasn’t even just huge, he was a contender for the win. It had nothing to do with EoR jumps either, he was at or near the top all round. I don’t remember if he did actually win or not, but his round is proof against your statement. He competed for nw win but specifically did not compete for the size win.
A fact is something that is not subject to any interpretation. For example, MW64 had 2 winners.
What you’re describing is your opinion.
That’s great! Remind everybody of the fact you were the biggest but we were the best jumpers
