I drew first blood this turn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

You shouldn't be giving out detailed empire information like that Preacherman. Of course if you would like to post the location of your homeworld and strength of defeses at that location I'll be sure to send a reception party. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Congradulations Preacherman. You are the first King of the Hill. For as long as you can defend your title that is. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Good game. My strategy failed me because you weren't close enough for me to hit you early, and not far enough away for me to prepare my defenses for your attack.

Back to the bottom for me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Yup, good game and an entirely new strategy for me you used there. with only 10 or so planets it was an awesome job you did there. If i attacked 10 or 20 turns later it could have been a totaly different result.
for future games i will not underestimate intel anymore...

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Man these one on one games are fun!! So nice be able to play 20 turns in a day as opposed to some PBW games were I've played less than 10 turns in the Last 3 months!

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Yup, one on one games are fast. With more players the game is much slower. For example Borg Open Challenge 2001 (started with 20 players) is still going on and it is almost 2003.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

I'm interested in joining geoschmo, just i have never played pbw before so could you give me some advice before i start

Hey rags, look forward to a defeat off you in the near future

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">There is not much too it really. The game is the same as a simultaneous game. The server will e-mail you a turn and then you can either reply to the e-mail and attach your plr file or go the the PBW page to upload your turn.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Well two strikes against me so far in my match.

1. 1FSTCAT found Rock colonization in Ancient Ruins; http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I have to work my butt off to keep up with his having rock and gas.

2. One of my stars randomly exploded by a natural event. All ships and planets lost in the system. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

As if he needs the help! He's doing a very nice job defending himself and harassing with his counterattacking forces.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

dream on!

but since i have 2 weeks or so to the next game, i'll enjoy myself up here where the view is so nice.
And if one of my subjects feels that he is up to the task and challenges me, i will show him his proper place, down in the mudpit with the rest of the lowly serfs.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Turn 26 and me and Darkhorse just met each other. Well I met him. Explored a system that had a planet of his and one ship. Who knows how long this game will Last... I'm not guessing because everytime I have it has been wrong. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Although my losses have average right at 100 turns. But that doesn't mean nothing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Turn 77 and it's probably been over for about 10-20 turns. Fyron beat me pretty much from when we met. It's been a great game...I fall one tier down while Fyron advances to the next level...even the site being down can't stop King of the Hill!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Set me up in another match..I'm raring to go again!!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm currently in a game with Darkhorse right now RD. If I win I go up to the next level. If I lose I fall, or I should say I stay at the first level. If I lose then we could play against each other.
It all depends on the outcome of my current game. If I lose then yes I wish to play you right away. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

"Look at the score table"

Ok, I am looking at it but you are no where near being the true bottom dweller. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif You are only 0 and 1! That's pretty good compared to some of us. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I am 0 and 3
Gadalph is 0 and 3

So me and Gandalph are tied for the bottom of the bottom dwellers. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

I say we need to organize! We need to get all of the bottom dwellers together and march on the mountain. With our numbers we will have strength. Who is the one that will lead us to the top of the mountain? Who will take the many voices and make them speak as one? Who will lead the legions of the bottom of the mountain? Who will be the chosen one? Or perhaps we can just talk Rag’s into taking the job http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

King vs. Bottom Dwellers. 1 on 6 is a fair number right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Pablo has begun to pound my defenses on two fronts now, so this bottom war has begun to heat up in earnest. I’ll have to see what I can do to relieve some of the pressure that has been applied to my valiant defenders.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

That was nasty. My attack fleet warped _after_ the mine sweapers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif
Any reason why this could have happened? Both fleets were sitting on the warp point, I shift-clicked both of them and ordered to warp http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Well, regarding who is the worst player, I haven't come up with a fomula that satisfys me yet, so don't read too much into who is currently listed Last.

How do you rate them? Raw number of losses? Net losses? Is a player that is 0 and 4 worse than a player that is 0 and 1? Not neccesarily. And what about comparing players that are 0-4, 1-4, and 1-5? It's kind of confusing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Also, if you all want to start a big game and gang up on Preacherman you can of course, but it won't be an official KOTH game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I don't think you can do that. Some have said as long as they have equal movement you can shift click and have them attack simultaneously. But I think Mines are handled differently. You would have to have some way of being sure the minesweepers moved faster, or included them both in the same fleet.

come my subjects, if you could stand straight you should have made at least the 2nd level. as you have not why should we deal with you, this is below our dignity. mixing with serfs is not wanted, perhaps if you have a good looking daugter we'd be willing to offer her some of our glory but anything else we have to deline.

and mr. stonemill, kings need no logo or such, they are recognized without such trivia.
