Default Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi

I've often wondered if one were so good at some sort of game if it would become boring to whip people's asses all the time. Well, I guess I'll never know but maybe Asmala can say something on the subject.

Just in case he DOES get bored whipping asses, I figured I'd spare him the yawns and surrender. I could add some (possibly) humorous little ditty about wanting to same my people from destruction but to tell the truth, the lazy bastards should die!

Now, it could have possibly been a bit more interesting if I hadn't copied a colony ship design to a destroyer and altered it to become a minelayer and NEVER ADDED THE 6TH ENGINE! Or, perhaps, if I hadn't built 9 light carriers at various places to be defensive rammers at warpholes WITHOUT ANY ENGINES AT ALL! Then, the little matter of giving orders to an early colony ship, then canceling the order, and then deciding to move it toward an unknown system WITHOUT POPULATION (and having to divert it to get some).

But, I'm sure the outcome would have been the same anyway. Asmala seemed to be 3-4 turns ahead of me most of the game.

All hail the returning KING!

(nice lesson, my Finnish [fiendish] friend)
