Hey guys, its just a game.

I'm afraid I may have to take some of the blame for that. I think I have have been interested in how Asmala was doing to the point of requesting some Posts here. I may have built him up some and he may have wanted to live up to it.

In a world where 17-year-olds play PS II and the assorted skateboard games intermingled with 1st-person shooter games, it's a breath of fresh air to see one undertake a strategy game (dominated by much older peeps) and do darn well at it.

He's has beaten me twice (once I may have been able to win against him but I withdrew to regroup after I had, I think, the upper-hand and he took advantage of it).

Whenever he did some tricky stuff, I asked him how he did it and he always sent long Messages explaining. I sent him the game between you and me for comments...and he typed nearly a whole screen of advice. Tips and such.

So, I like the guy from Finland. He learns fast and plays in about 5 games at any given time, goes to school in the week, works on the weekends and STILL manages to be much better at getting turns in than some of the people I am "plagued" with in my current games.

So, if his message came across as bragging a bit, I can't say I blame him much. He should feel proud of his ability and I asked for updates.
