The old Grinch stole every last tech he could see...
...and then stole the rule of the whole galaxy!
He went to Orion, the Ancients' Throne Star,
That from there he could rule all worlds, both near and far!
The footage shows ... wait! Hold on! Something's gone wrong!
This footage does not show his victory song!
No, no! It's all wrong! Why it's...
...way of date!
'Twas the year aught-one when that old thing met its fate!
The Guardian was vanquished some six years BEFORE!
And when the Grinch won, why then, what was in store?
Believe it or not, all the Darloks went out
And celebrated (although they did NOT shout!)
With a soft, happy song, and a kind of a dance
(It did involve glow-swords, long cloaks, and a lance)
And then they all feasted on wonderful fare.
The Grinch ... HE HIMSELF! ... The Grinch carved the roast bear!

Total techs stolen by 2500: 77!
Game Result: Extermination victory in 2507 (X2)
Total Score: 154
Tie Breaker Tech: Plasma Rifle(!) - Tech Level 42!
In case you're wondering, the breakdown was 33 tech steals in 150 turns of regulation, and 44 in 50 turns of Final War (partly but not entirely because I stepped up my espionage efforts as the deadline approached; I never actually ran out of targets to steal until the late 2490s). I really lucked out with that Derelict event hitting at just about the perfect time. This score ought to be competitive, though anyone who REALLY went all-out for score might still beat it. For me, the main thing was that this was a really fun game! Many thanks to Maniac Marshall for sponsoring this one!
