It's taken me awhile to think about how to describe my play philosophy.

For me, the journey is more important than the destination. I try to play my best, but I can't afford to put too much value on winning, because I've never managed it against a human opponent in SE IV, and can't even guarantee it against the AI. The people who play on PBW because they don't find the AI challenging enough are simply out of my league.

Part of why I've never won a PBW game is that I tend to set up my empire to fit my roleplaying concept of the race more than to gain practical game advantages.

Hear, hear! EXACTLY my stance and position, sir!

Hmm.

Well, I don't have Gold yet, probably can order it in a week-ish ... but regardless, we should try and gt together for a game sometime, preferably with another half-dozen players of compatible style and intent.
