Default Re: Twenty-Five Guaranteed Ways to Defeat Asmala in PBW

Not bad ideas, clark, but since Asmala is a rated player and competes in the KOTH league, though he is good, it wouldn't really be a matchup of skills or fairness. Bowlers have handicaps ('cept for scratch leagues) and there are defined handicaps in "Go" (measured by stones) but not in chess, for example.

Thanks. Just some food for thought. Sometimes getting clobbered, or always clobbering can lead to boredom. One way to spice things up is to make things a bit tricker.

I'm certainly not intending to tell you guys what to do, as I would get a good 'just sod off you bloody wanker' or some derivation. And I would deserve it.

However, I remember seeing some comments about how Empire's are becoming more clone-like, so why not at least think about pre-defined Empires that are randomly picked. Afterall, you guys go through such pains to make the map balanced... why not balance it a bit with some luck of the draw around the Empires.

Skill is succeeding with the cards you are dealt, no matter the hand. Luck is just hope that you can play the cards you are dealt.

But by all means, keep posting game updates. I love those!

LOL.
Great catch Slynky. One bad Elvis clone lured out of lurkmode

Hey my Cave-dwelling friend...

Excellent!!! My little girl has brought me so much happiness.

Time is still a crunch, but I'm staying SEIV savvy. Cheeze told me about the new patch, and it looks great.

SO beating Asmala looks like quite a task right now. He's sharp... way sharp...

Wow, that sounds really painful. Is it true Fish and chips is a national dish in Enland?

Good idea! (not sure he's reading it, though )
