At Slynky echoing words, Glyn stirs on the cobweb draped throne, “What their still someone here? I’ve thought everyone has left.” Glyn brushes away some of the cobwebs and settled dust.

Me and SE5a have been playing multiplayer games for the last month or two. There is always something to send to Aaron, but it is getting close.

Nah, I just was a bit on the procrastination side of things, and took a little while before doing the update.

We still have no fewer than eleven players. Rock bottom was seven players, I think. So, we have more than 50% players than back in the days! Things are looking awesome. Trust me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more stones to flip. Oh, and KOTH has been updated.

Stones to flip? Inquiring minds want to know. (a reference to the ****ty taploid advertising we have in the US that you wouldn't be privy to, my friend) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I've used IMWTK (I'm feeling lazy) a couple of times, but I wouldn't recognise any of your tabloids... or ours, for that matter. They just are too verbose.

I shall not make any awful pun with that "privy" word. Instead... "You won't get [information]. "By hook or by crook, we will."

Flipping stones would be Reversi, though I'm kind of rusty now... I'm sure you can hear the sound of my creaking bones right in Savannah.

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

Heard of Reversi (sp?). I'm pretty good at Go, though. Played a lot of people giving them 1, 2 and 3 stone handicaps...and whipped their ***!

Too bad I'm not as good in SE4.

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

Dont you say I dunno no spelling! Of course the spelling is Reversi! How can you even *think* I would lie to you!

The game is sometimes called Othello, though. I'm not quite sure what is the link between that Othello chap and the game... might just be a "black and white" thing.

My skill at Go is pretty close to Charybdis. That is, I suck. I can't even begin to understand basic strategies, and the whole spatial thing goes down crashing. My puny brain can manage Reversi a lot better... and then I have no trouble getting trashed at the game, since any computer can play a wicked game of Reversi.

Well, at least Reversi sounds cooler as a boast than, say, Tetrinet. Shame SEIV isn't that well known, though... I *am* the best player of SEIV in the world, after all, following you-know-what shenanigans in the Ratings.

(Notice the subtle attempt at getting back on topic.)

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

LOL...no, I was typing without looking at your spelling, so, though I'm sure your spelling was spot on, I was going on memory (which is sometimes faulty)...LOL.

Oh, yeah, I've played a few games of Othello. GO, slightly similar, is a much better game, riveling chess in the Asian world where people are ranked and given stone handicaps based on their ranking.

Best player in the whole world at SE4? I shall have to find Primitive, no doubt at the nearest online gambling table demanding respect.

Khryon and I have our settings ready when you are, Alneyan. And, of course we made it peculiar.

Full Tech
No Stellar Manipulation
No Intel
3 Good Planets
3000 Racial Points
Can only colonize own atmosphere type
No Religious tech
No Ancient trait

Manual placement on a grid map so that one of us is on the eastern edge (anywhere) and the other is on the western edge (anywhere on that line as well)

Thanks, Alneyan. I'm sure you are much happier about setting up games for Americans now that we have voted out a lot of Republicans *thumbs nose at Bush*
