It would be an honor.

I'll put the game up now and add you guys. I'll be at home most of tomorrow, so when you agree on the map (etc.), I'll be able to get you guys started.

PS: I'm posting this thinking that Asmala will not mind but if he prefers someone else, it won't upset me

Sure it would

, but I can't think of any reason Asmala would snub you

Think we have agreed on Geo's ballance mod and no ancient.
As for other settings; I'm game with anything.

Slynky vs Zharktas - 2404.4

Zharktas surrenders.

I salute Zharktas' efforts as he learns to play in wicked 1 x 1 games. I think the key to his game will be to learn to expand better and I, hopefully, gave him a few tips. KOTH (and other PBW games) needs energetic new players who are such great sports even when faced with a tough game.

Three words, Zharktas: Expansion, expansion, expansion!

I urge others to give tips as they play...it's the best way to help him learn from his mistakes.

Keep playing, Zharktas. I'll be there to cheer your first win!

That I can concur with. Expansion is the key to power in SEIV, as nothing can save you if you do not have enough colonies at your disposal. But then, my views may be a bit biased by my own focus on economics (you won't see me giving much interest to the military).

Speaking of which, I should brace myself to stand against the next player to reach my level of the hill. Last time I had the Steamroller, so it cannot get worse, can it? Oh, and good luck against the Usurper Primitive. I am putting my marbles on you as usual.

Koth page is updated.

Thanks for hosting the King game Slynky (in other words, I don't prefer anyone else

).

Primitive, I'd like to add one more rule: no talisman.

The way I see it, Spoon may take a look at his game and say, "Asmala would probably have won anyway...so he deserves the win." Or Asmala may say, "The game was too close to call and I believe Spoon left the game for RL reasons."

Please advise me of the game status for Ratings purposes.

The game was still so even that I accept the withdrawal.

Sure, no problem. What about a No Openers rule so we don't have to suffer the RiotRuns � (Again

)

Also, Any preferances for starting planets, or should we leave that up to Slynky ?

Starting planet (number and size) choice is up to you guys (after all, one must design based on that, right?). Just let me know.

PS: I think Alneyan and I have the "worldwide copyright" on the term, RiotRuns � (LOL). It's good that you showed it was trademarked

Very gentlemanly of you, Asmala

. I'll remove the game without adjusting Ratings.

PS: I assume I need to add a game to the Ratings list for the KOTH game, right?
