They guys in the game at 60 turns are going to have more than a month's wait (if not 2 or 3 months) till all round 1 games are done.

Since it's a double elimination tournament it would be possible to start round 2 before round 1 is complete. In fact I was thinking of doing just that. Just haven't totally made up my mind yet.

By the way Slynky, there is nothing stopping you from playing other games that aren't Koth games. If you need a fix I could play you an exhibition match. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

UPdate on my new koth game.... Nice map... I believe i will meet my opponent within the first 10 turns.... I think there is 20 systems for us to fight in... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

What? That's not enough for you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I've been using small spiral maps for a while now. I guess some are just smaller than others.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, I am in 2 other games (the Tourney and Adversary). So, I do get a fix periodically http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

However, your offer of an exibition game is intriguing. What do you have in mind?

Without going back to the Tourney thread, I was under the impression that round 2 would be played against people you haven't played before. In order for that to happen, don't there have to be a minimum of 5 Tourney games finished? Any less and some people would be playing someone they alreay played against (I think...but my brain does fart some times).

If this is correct, then waiting for 5 games to finish so that there can be such a second round leaves only 2 (slow) games to mix up for their 2nd round...not enough to play aginst all new people.

So, I think, the only way to do that would be to wait till all games are finished. (or else just let people be in a game with a person--or persons--they have already been in with).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No. You are missing an obvious option. People can play in more than one game at the same time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Regarding the exhibition game, I just meant a 1v1 game that wasn't an official koth game or anything. It could be koth settings, or something different if you prefer.

Give the Big Cheese access to the next level. I have conceded that my position is not viable,
no need to hold him up with 25 turns worth of battles that will not change the out come.

Congrats on the win Cheese. If you did what I think you did, then that was a gutsy move.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">KOTH settings are fine with me. It's fast and dirty. But you have to sign a non-disclosure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif agreement to not divulge my empire setup...the surprise I have in it (well, perhaps a surprise) is my only chance at a path up the hill besides an incredibly lucky planet layout...which I probably need also http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Congratulations to the Cheezy one? What did he do? Hit you with a huge chunk of fertilizer? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Seriously, someone tell me how this ended? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif
