General Question - If my ally has 175 planet and I have 75 but there is a race that dropped who has 118 planets will I be ranked second or third when the game finishes?

In the rankings that are displayed to all players, you will be listed as third because it's in planet count order.

As far as the victory multiplier for rewards (Achievement points, Campaign resources, etc.) goes, you'll be considered second.

@Decius,
Thanks for the reply! Does the second place ranking also go for reaching goals?

If by "goals" you mean "Badges" (http://planets.nu/#/howtoplay/Badges), then no. The good news is that, if you're part of a winning alliance, there's no difference in badges between 2nd overall and 3rd overall. Sometimes, being first matters, and it frequently matters if you're 4th overall, but 2nd vs. 3rd doesn't matter for Badges.

Actually in this case it does.

Its a 0.63 difficulty game. So counts as beginner difficulty 0 (does not get to 0.75 for more awards)and Players ranked 1-3 gain an award.

So Player in 2nd would get an award (if they were in the game for a set number of turns which may have been cancelled for the original player and possibly not enough for someone who joins for the last 5ish turns).

Other awards you need to win the game and rank.
