I still remember my initiation...
My first KOTH game against the "steamroller", Primitive. He's currently the highest rated player in the SE4 Ratings system. I managed to Last 60 or so turns but it was probably because he wasn't sure of what my skill level was and played it carefully.
You'll find a lot of good players in KOTH. And KOTH is a good training ground. Welcome to the fun (and welcome to your training). And always remember, learn, learn, learn. If you get beat, ask questions about what you did wrong. Most everyone I've talked with is glad to offer tips and critique your game.
Of course, you may be "sandbagging" us...LOL...
