If it hasn't been accepted by next Friday, I'll take it, Primitive.

Re: How good are you? Find out...
 

The challenge match between Primitive and Slynky ended prematurely at turn 33.
Congrats to Slynky, the new no. 1 ranked player in the world http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It wasn't my fault, it was the map. Yeah, thats my story and I'll stick with it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
The truth: I gambled and lost. I colonized, he built ships.

Beeing a slow learner, I'll try another challenge:

Anyone up for: Primitives Challenge 2 to be played on this map:
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1064142026.jpg

With these settings:
- 5 planet start
- Full tech
- No intel
- No Stellar Manipulation
- No Talisman
- 3,000 racial points

The map should be balanced (computer generated, only editet a few spacelanes). A quick count of planets says there are a little less Hydrogen planets, and of course there are no None Gasplanets so the None planets will be smaller on average. I have not checked how the planets are distributed but it looks to be plenty of everything everywhere. BTW, I will play Oxygen and take Ancient to offset that I have seen the map. My opponent (if I can get any http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), can also get a peak of the map before the start if he takes Ancient. Top or bottom start position will be random.

Any takers ?

BTW:
If anyone else want to try this setup or or something else on this map, I'll be happy to run the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Baron Grazic has defeated me in Ratings Game 3. I'm afraid my organic gambit did not work, and I was outclassed by superior strategy on every level. At least I learned a few things along the way... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I take offense to every compliment Chronon, because I have learned the hard way already, to colonise hard and fast, whereby you just learned that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Geo, Can you setup another game between us? Exact same settings.

Okay, I'm hereby surrendering to Parabolize in SE Rating Game V. His Talisman-equipped DUC ships are killing my fighters before they can even get near them, AND he has stealthed ships behind my lines.

I HAVE colonized a lot of planets, but making him slog through them is pointless. Chalk up another loss for me.

Two new Ratings games up and accepting players:

SE4 Ratings Game VI. This is another two player game.

SE4 Ratings Game VII (3 Players) . Yeah, you can probably guess on this one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ok, game is up and I assigned you both to it.

Re: How good are you? Find out...
 

I will apply to the 1vs1 game, anyone wants to help me in my struggle to take over the Last place in the rating? Beware Deccan, as I shall take your place. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: How good are you? Find out...
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No, no, no. You have to lose 2 rated games in a row before even thinking about usurping my place. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Wednesday and still silence. Perhaps they are scared of the hoardes. Or maybe the game settings are a bit "radical" for them.
