The Challenge Match
In the dark of the night April 18, 2003 Slinky with Lord Chane, and soon asmala threw down the gauntlet. They challenged a team of any three players to take them on in a struggle for control of K'Rithian Quadrant.
It was not long before they were labeled, "The Axis of Evil" by none other than he who would accept the challenge. Later this band declared themselves to be “The Black Hole Alliance”. Within 18 hours the estimable Geoschmoe teaming up with the honorable Rextorres and unassailable 1FSTCAT.came forth forming an “Alliance of Good” in short order they were named, “The Olden Ones”. It fell upon them to free the galaxy of The Black Hole Alliance. The stakes were clear, Victory or Death!

Hey ( ), all my good fictional writing gone to waste?

Asmala was branded an upstart on the KOTH league, coming from nowhere and making a name for himself among the "heavyweights". Then came Slynky, more mouth than ability (sheepish grin), and finally, Lord Chane made his debut.

It should have been the challenge of the "Two and Three Digit Forum Posters" -vs- the "Four-digit Forum Posters" .

Anyway, I tried to portray US as the "Black Hole Alliance" (Black representing the "evil" brand we were, well, branded with ). Now, all the sudden, we're the Olden ones? Yes, I'm an old fart but Asmala helps our average...LOL. Besides, Asmala uses the Black Hole Riders as his standard empire name (and, without consent , I used it as our alliance name to honor our young general).

Once again showing initiative calm Commander Slynky has joined the game. The question in everyone’s mind, “Does he have what it takes to take what they have”?

I am still awaiting a decision on how many systems and who if anyone objects to unusual names. I’ll keep them clean.
Dose anyone in the forums have a system name they would like to see used?

Your earlier post said 114 systems. I'll agree to 100 if geo thinks that's enough.

As to names, I've already indicated it's fine by me. I think the rest of the Black Hole Alliance has agreed, also. (Just no names like, Slynky's Black Hole, please )
