Announcing the 2005 PBW Open Tournament

This one goes to Slynky. It was over a while ago, but we played on because of the odd setting for the game. The settings really made for a different feel to the game.

Quite scary settings knowing one had NOTHING to stop missiles with or even "pad" their hits (no armor or shields). Even then, fighters weren't to be discounted, either as one could hit them with regular beam weapons but hopping through a hole was a bit tough as beam weapons don't get to fire defensively like PDs do, so you had to withstand that first onslaught of fighters.

Thanks for a good game, prompt turn turnaround, and dialogue on playtimes and availability. Made it a pleasure!

Round 2 is over. Round 3 games have been setup.

Game 1, Slynky vs Parasite

Game 2, Grandpakim vs Nomis

Let me know when you've decided on settings.

Grandpakim surrenders to Nomis. He got there fustest with the mostest.

Playing with Grandpa Kim was a pleasure. I made many mistakes during this game and learned a lot. I set some dump fleet strategies and after battles realized how dump! I had worse economy and research, but time was working for me. If only Granda Kim attacked me earlier I would surely lose any battle (with my �25% to hit). Thanks to Grandpa Kim for great game.

Well, I'm pretty new PBW player, only half year playing against human opponents. I hope I would be enough good to play against such experienced players like Slynky or Parasite.

Congratulations, Nomis (Simon?), for winning your side of the tournement bracket! Not bad at all for a person only playing with humans for 6 months.

Maybe you should stop by the KOTH tourney and try your skill.

ONe step closer to finally getting those five ship sets released.

Parasite · #8 May 20th, 2006, 12:43 AM

Now Slynky, you just have to ask me to play a Pairs game

And thanks for the ego boost. I agree, it was a fun fun game

No problem. How shall we advertise we are ready to take on a team of two in a game with no mines and no intel (at the least)? Hmmmmm?

Well, it looks like we need some settings for the final game, Nomis. I'm sure Geo has set us up with a wonderful map (or will

).

What kind of settings do we want? Let's leave intel out of it, what say you? And since this is the last game, what better way to go out in a blast of glory than a full-tech game (grin)? Of course, I'll understand if that's a bit of a wild suggestion.

Anyway, what kind of proposal do you have, sir?
