Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?

I'm ready in my first SEIV-game within a year and very eager to see how I manage after the absence. Do I still remember how to play...

OK, guys, don't fall for ANY of that, "do I still remember how to play" stuff. That trick is so old, I'm surprised he would use it when he SURELY remembers all the others .

Okay Houston, we've got a problem here. My ISP is again gving me trouble.

Geoschmo, could you please create games until further notice? I may be able to update the website, though I'll have to check. More info later... hopefully. Please use email for contact, especially if you wish a quick reply (this thread is fine if you do not expect a reply, or can wait for a while - as in a day or two).

Shake in terror, Hill! I have returned!

LOL...speaking of shaking in terror, I notice you got real brave after Asmala got paired up (*wink*).

Just kidding! Welcome back. The "Hill" welcomes the population boom.

Ok, I suppose that that means Rather faces Phoenix-D next. I'll get that one setup shortly. Alneyan will have to update the website when he can get his isp issue straight.

Rand surrendered in our game, so he's the next waiting at the bottom of the hill. I see Alneyan added a new level, but I'm currently the only one on it and Goz is waiting for an opponent on the level below me. Wouldn't it be a hoot if Slynky, Glyn and Granpdakim get through their King matches faster then I can get an opponent here on the new level?

[Alneyan]

Actually, it looks like I'll be alright, though you should stand watch for now. I'm using a wireless adapter now, and it works well enough for what I want to do. The only problem is that it's a loan, so I need to get one of my own (or otherwise secure access to the thingy).

Looks like RL has caught me again so please take my name off the hill. When I return, I'll be glad to start back at the bottom since I'll be rusty.

Geo, I will continue with the 2005 open but playing both these fast paced games will be too much.

I'd suggest keeping 3 levels all the time...and if the king is NOT in a game, then anyone on the 3 level awaiting a game can go ahead and move up for a "king match". Not sure if the "automated website management" tool can handle pushing someone to the challenger position but it would seem to be a good way to keep games going and maintain 3 levels during the more "busy" times.

It's your call of course, you know better then anyone how much you can handle. But I'd hate for someone to walk off the hill when they've gone through so much to get to the top like that. There's really no reason to stress about the tourney game. Round one still isn't completely over. I don't think the guys in the last game have even met yet. I can start your round two game any time now, but there's no reason you couldn't take your time with the turns. It's not like anyone will be waiting on you.

For my next game I desire 3 planet start, low tech, random but rich universe with minimal GM supervision 'cept for making sure neither of us starts in a 5/6 gaseous nebula region..! No intel, all else is good!

Arm the game, admins. These settings are fine.
