Gee, thanks Tesco.

Actually, I have learned from getting my butt handed to me, How many games am I your ally instead of your opponent?

Yes I have fond memories of declaring war on you in every game we were playing together in a span of one week

Yeah, I remember one (Adamant 5, I think) where I was glad that you finally finished me off, I was running out of creative ways to tell the galaxy that your race was evil!

In truth there have been only a few games that have really taught me about how to play. The Koth games have taught me how to build my empire and expand (although I'm still working on that

). I think the pace of the KOTH games is what helps, the turns come in so quickly that you don't have time to lose focus of what you're doing. I just wish more people would be willing to try different and unusual settings.

I play for fun, as a way to relax. I don't care if I win or not (not that I lose on purpose, beleive it or not

), I just want to have a good time. Now if I can just get RL off my back for awhile I'd be good to go!

Hey Stone, how's this coming along?

Stone Mill · #5 June 6th, 2003, 04:07 PM

The concept is coming along pretty well.

I think this will be fun.

I will try to come up with a good estimate of when I will roll this out.

I need to finish one more strategy article. Then I will get on the Invulnerable Challenge.

Also, I'm somewhat cursed by my own KOTH victories... As long as I win there is a fresh contender immediately trying to pull me off!

Update:

Intel will not be part of this challenge.

I don't think the AI handles it well enough; and in order to give the AI some defense, I need to load it up with some intel points. Because of this, there is a very large chance that the player will be bombarded unrecoverrably upon making contact.

I'm not sure that I could set it up in a fair manner... and I'm not sure it should end via Puppet Political Party.

This challenge will revolve around traditional forces. Hope this is ok. If you feel different, let me know.
