KOTH will be updated within the hour.

On another note, the default setting for the map is "random", without any manual placement, so you just happened to start in a better location. You may request manual placement of the Empires, so that both players start in a roughly equivalent system. Some players do like the randomness (or so I am told), so this setting is not on by default.

I hereby surrender to Vadim_bey in our game.

I fully blame the fact that out of the first 6 systems I discovered 5 of them had absolutely nothing in them and that it wasn't till the 4th or so that I found a system with 3 small unbreathable planets useful only for a shipyard and a resupply base.

Damn the random number generator!!

Eh, it happens!

By the time I met my opponent I met him in 2 parts of the galaxy and from our meeting points it was apparent he controlled 2/3rds of the galaxy and while I do love the underdog position in this case it was completely apparent what the end outcome would be and well, it takes too damn long to get there in this game.!

Put me back on the hill, perhaps my luck shall be better next time!!

K.O.T.H. is up-to-date.

My turns are never late Joachim: I send them precisely when I meant them to arrive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Nay, I have been lax on playing my turns of late, but you know the medecine for that problem: kill me off, and all will be fine (I cannot drop from the Hill after a win, that would be so odd).

So what are you waiting for? Hop to it, and make a quick end of me, or else I will have to challenge Primitive to meet my death. *Shudders at the thought*

Well, if I could find where I have hidden those WMG armed, quantum powered baseships I would open a warp point to your homeworld and destroy it....[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Dagger.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Hammer.gif[/img] That's if I *knew* where your homeworld was after some fool lost all the star maps....

/me giggles quietly and stuffs Joachim's star maps further under a couch...

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
 

Here my furry friend, come try this nice camenbert that I have libereated from Alneyan's ships and planets.... just pass me the maps... thats it hand them over - here is the cheese [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cheese.gif[/img]

And in an attempt to keep this on topic - my reference to maps is a comment on the fact that I did not take ancient and Alneyan did. I had not stipulated no ancient in our set up talks and forgot http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif. It will be intereseting to see if I can be even a little competitive without the star maps...

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
 

Oooooh, cheeze... */me absent-mindedly hands the maps back while easting the cheese

Slynky has gotten the better of me once again. Move him up.

Alneyan, take me off the hill please. I don't have time for another game right now.
