Slynky, you and I have played each other so often I doubt there will be many suprises. And since I assume we will be using a balance map I don't have the possibility of you getting a bad start to give me a leg up, which was the only way I've been able to beat you in the past. I fully expect this to be another defeat for me, but I'll give you the best fight I can.

I will defer to you as King for settings. My only suggestion would be no stellar manipulation. I'll play with it if you want, and I have gotten pretty good with it lately (mostly from lessons learned the hard way against you), but I'd prefer to go without it.

Nah...no stellar manipulation. As Alneyan pointed out often enough, it's almost a race to get it first and do surprise attacks behind lines.

Defer to me? LOL...I usually try to suggest something to break up the monotony...never know what I'll suggest. 'Course, we can negotiate.

What about:

Warp holes anywhere in system (I miss that one);
No mines;
3 good starting planets;
3000 points;
Manual placement;
No Religious;
No Stelar Manip;
Map: medium spiral but rolled over and over to get a "small" medium result;
No stealth armor or claoking to avoid that "other" race to sneak ships behind the line since there would be no mines; and
Balance version 2.0

Clarification on the armor above...one can use Scattering but there will be no ships allowed with Stealth. This is a trust issue and I trust you...after all, one never knows when the other player might build hyper optics just to check...so that adds the element of Reagan's famous remark, "Trust but verify". I don't think either of us would pursue a win by cheating. And if you think this too cumbersome, just say so and it's out without any problem.

Your counter?
