Congrats to Slynky:
The new no. 1 ranked player in the world 
Our Challenge match, with these rules:
- 5 planet start
- Full tech
- No intel
- No Stellar Manipulation
- No Talisman
- 3,000 racial points
was played on a grid map without any obvious chokepoints.
The short story: I colonized like mad. Slynky was smart enough to go straight on the attack. Game over at turn 33. Well played by Slynky.
