<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmmmm.....that's a thought. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

If we can't beat him fairly and squarely in the game, we can use other means to dethrone him. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Just joking. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The fact that he has successfully defended the throne a number of times, IMO entitles him to put on airs.

If only we should be so lucky or so good at playing the game.

Now if he should happen to cross-dress or do something more outrageous to denigrate, smear or otherwise bring into ill-repute the royal events which are taking place at this site, I might be convinced otherwise (with a pistol shoved in my face). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The EEEvil EEEmpirehas forced Gecko's SpaceSharks into surrendering after 140 turns. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I would love to take the credit for Victory but full credit goes to Gecko who had the advantage the entire game and was only let down by his Empire Setup.
The EEEvil EEEmpire destroyed every fleet the SharpSharks could put together by training and racial abilities, but didn't have the resources to take the attack forward until the late game.
Whoever is next matched for Gecko's SpaceSharks, beware, I've given him some Racial tips. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">A pretty good summary - with the caveat that Grazic pseudo-surrendered to me earlier in the game... I had him psychologically defeated at one point. Either way, we both got a lot of enjoyment out of the game, which is the whole point.

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

"pseudo-surrendered" - I like the sound of that, but I'll stick with my story line that it was "the insane plan of the insane EEEvil EEEmperor Grazic".
I'm still not sure what happened, I 'thought' I clicked on Surrender, but I guess PBW was helping me win and didn't accept my submission. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Good luck next game.

Asmala, Who is up next for us both?

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">As you can see at KOTH page there isn't an opponent to either of you. However a new player is interested about this tournament so if he decides to join then there is an opponent to Gecko. Even if the new player won't join there is quite nice number of games runnig so I think you won't have to wait very long.
