Announcing the 2005 PBW Open Tournament

[Nomis]

"No intel" sounds good. About full-tech, well I don't know... I've never played that way, but I could try.

Standard start settings are pretty fine for me. Perhaps, we could add few other rules. I've played only three 1vs1 online games, so I admit that I don't know how to make a game more fun.

When I watched Final of Champions League, one guy said "final shouldn't be played for show or fun, just should be won". I know that my chances for winning are rather low, so I'm gonna get some fun, at least

If you consider yourself the underdog, then I shall do the honorable thing and let you choose any settings beyond these:

No mines;
No intel;
3 good planets;

The rest is up to you--racial points, races, and any other settings you would like to ban.

Looking forward to a fun game like the last one where I was on edge for 3/4 of the game.

[edit] - I like the thrill of fulltech but considering your relatively newness to the 1 vs 1 games, it might not be very fair.

Ok. Let's play with pretty standard settings.

No mines.
No intel.
3 good planets.
100k starting resources.
Tech start lev: low.
Tech cost: medium.
Racial points: 2k.
No ruins and events.

Anything else?

Edit: ... and no shutting down power plant in my town.

Agreed. And I'll leave the power plant alone in your town. Errr, where do you live?

PS: I'll work on my empire in about 2 hours, I have something to do right now.

My empire done and uploaded.

I live in Krosno - little town (~40k inhabitants) in Poland. Believe me you won't be able to find it on a common map.

And you've asked me about my nickname. No, it isn't a reversed "Simon".

Just uploaded mine, so whenever Geo has time, we can begin.

Krosno? Poland? Hmmm...got me worried now. Foreign players are often very crafty and skilled.

So...

Good luck and good gaming!
