Krsqk vs. Mathias Ice: after many turns in second place I noticed that at turn 50 I moved into first place . . . what does it mean?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Uhhh Is this a trick question? It means you are in first place. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: Ok just kidding. what it likely means is that you have more ships than him now since score is largely based on that. No doubt you were not that far down in second place for the first 50 turns

Before it was edited, it said he moved into second place. I was really confused then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Update on my game with Rambie: Played a few turns today and I am moving at will through a couple systems. I won the first battle, I took his planet. (Didn't feel like killing ALL his people) And am now in search of his biggest fleet/home system. Unless he has a fleet hiding somewhere then I should be pulling out the win.

Darn, Rags (if I can be so personal... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), I thought you were on 30 turns or so but can't find it quickly enough.

Sounds like things are going well (well, for you... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

Might be nice to propose a slight "format" to reporting on games. Kinda like:

empire (forum handle) -vs- empire (forum handle): Year: nnnn.n

(but you know us IT types... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ...always too logical)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Call me what you want. I'm known around here as Rags so that's fine.

Alright, I'll try to go to a new format from now on. And now I'm not aroun 30 turns, I'm up to 105 now.

"Call me what you want. I'm known around here as Rags so that's fine. "

If your game is coming to a close, I may well be calling you my opponent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Heh, actually it took me two edits to get the post to say what I wanted it to say. (Stupid clogged brain synapses.)

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmmmm, I guess I should get a move on then shouldn't I. The Rorg Empire looks forward to meeting {insert your empire name here} http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Grazic vs. Tesco Update 2402.3

Both Tesco & I are using the exact same empire file and yet on turn 1 - second place, turn 2 - second, turn 3 - yep second, etc.
I was at the stage where if I didn't know the high calibre of Tesco, I would be thinking he pulled a swift one on me and changed Empire files, but turn 20 comes in and I've finally hit 1st place.
The only thing I can put it down to is Tesco's Home Planet value must be just higher than mine.

Turn 23 and we have finally met, and it seems like we are as far away as possible. It's going to start get interesting from here on out...
