Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"? - Page 63

I'll have to check the bottom when I get home. I may have someone waiting that I haven't updated the page with. Not sure what the matches there will be.

and put me at the bottom..

next game i want to play in a map where the lay out is even

You will need to talk to your next opponent about that. Although I doubt it will be that hard a sell. Nobody wants to feel their win was because of the other guy getting a bad break. Although, how do you define "even"?

About that critical battle... after that battle I thought I'll win the match. I was so sure about it that I even thought what kind of crownd I'll add to my picture... Well, the higher your are the harder is the fall :-) Stone Mill really dropped me to the ground and I was and I'm still amazed, he's clearly the best player against I have ever played. He's the king. Asmala bows

I'm also very thankful to Slynky about his post. As he said my intentions wasn't flaunt with my technology, I just tried to explain why my ships were so overpowering. Unluckily the situation has evened out

I just have to thank you for your kind praise.

You are very cool.

I have to tell you now that the game has played out from that point- that I've never seen a player so organized, deliberate, and advanced with tech research in a 1-1 game At that point, I almost fell over when I saw what your fleet had... then Gas Colonization... now dreads.

I had to react quickly- I'm hoping my strat will take away that advantage... but we'll see. I can't wait for the debrief on this one.

Yes! The streak continues!

Geo, please elevate the outstanding Zarix.

Even though I held first place for a good chunk of the game Zarix changed tactics and caught me flatfooted. Another fun game!

So what do you think guys? DO I need to add another level to the hill? Looks like we are starting to get a bit of a backlog at the top. Got two players waiting after the Asmala/Stonemill game finishes.

Nodachi, thanks for the game. I wonder who will be my next opponent.

I think adding one more level to the hill is a good idea. The top is getting too crowded. I guess the new level would be created under the current bottom level?

Ragnarok · #**627** April 3rd, 2003, 06:49 PM

Yeah, I'd say add another level to the hill. Although this will make it more challenging to make it to the top, it will slow down the back up towards the top that we have right now.

Thermolia has suffered two invasions by the Evil weeds in the Last few cycles. In the first attack
in the north, the Weeds overran a frontier defense force, but have not advanced into Thermolian space. They have probed, but these have been destroyed by units of the Thermolian Home Fleet. It had been hoped that this invasion could be dealt with on ground that was favorable to Thermolia, but this does not seem to be the case.

In the second Invasion, a fleet of Thistle Class DD�s attacked a Thermolian border defense force in the central region. This force of 1 old DD and two ancient FF�s had recently been reinforced by four light cruisers from the Home Fleet. One of the ships was a new heavy gunned unit. In a hard fought fight, the Evil weeds were utterly decimated. With no loss of Thermolian units, the mass wave attack of the Weeds was turned back with 100% casualties. Our new weedkilling beams have proven to be most effective.

In the south, a condition of stalemate still exists. The lines are intermingled, and no offensive activities are expected any time soon.

Sounds like Cheeze better research more levels in "Miracle Grow."

Sorry about the finish up... I think the differences in time zones did not help our progress... but we have managed 2-3 turns a day, more on weekends. Also, my April weekends will now be spent at Home Depot, now that I have just closed on a house purchase. Whoo-hoo

This one may be over soon, depending on what Asmala has turtled up in his interior defense.

The Mercators blitzed two more systems, trying to clamp down the vice...

Too much math for me

but it seems like (without thinking about it much) that since the bottom of the hill has positions for 8 games, and the next higher level has positions for 6 games, the level above it should have room for 4 games... or at least 3 games. Then, there wouldn't be a need for a "ladder-looking" thing listing 3 single contenders in a row.

Like I said, though, too much math for me
