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

Hmmm...

Reading the Baron Grazic vs Ragnarok game I wonder if there would be any interest in a "mirror image universe".

Rags starting in a asteroid belt is a definite disadvantage unless his opponent found himself in the same situation.

Taking nothing away from the well deserved victory of Baron Grazic, a very good player could find himself losing to a novice player in a game in which the novice player has the advantage of the setup.

Taking the reverse, the novice can find himself slaughtered within a very short time if the very experience player has the advantage of the setup.

Games like chess and checkers have a mirror image set-up and except for the advantage given to the player who has the first move, winning the game is very dependant upon knowledge and experience.
