Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"? - Page 77

I would have been glad to play either one of you but there are 2 small problems:

(1) Can't seem to get off the bottom of the hill

(2) and my opponent in my current game is a bit slow

Actually I think it should be Thermo vs Lord Chane. Nodachi, did you tell me you wanted back on the hill? I thought you were taking some time off?

Lord Chane? Can't say that I have met this one yet.

Slynky, I know the feeling all too well now.

I haven't played a KOTH turn in awhile now. At this rate it will be awhile before I move on up.

Well, at least you have an optimistic view on it...

, I'm in second place now in my KOTH game for about 10 turns. So, I'm not real keen on even making the next grade of the hill. And in the back of my mind, worry KOTH might "peter" out before I even make it to the first bump in the hill

.

Also worry that if I add another game to my list, THAT'S when all my games will suddenly surge and I will be overcome by turns to do.

He's only had 2 KOTH games...most recent bested by Asmala (of course, not many haven't been bested by him...

). He and I joined the forum a few months back. He's a worthy player and fast at his turns, especially on the weekends. And, unless you have had your head in the sand

, he is on our team in the (slightly) infamous "Challenge".

PS: He's a topnotch LAN manager, too. You can always tell those kind by how much they hate Microsoft

Hey, Geo, don't forget me! Think you can squeeze me in now that there are a few returning to the bottom looking for an easy victory?

Warning: I do not play as fast as Geo and Rags but I'm steady and will play at every opportunity. I just do my turns slooooooow.

Now why would a Lan Manager hate MicroXoft? Well perhaps Q811493 was not one of their finer moments of the month. But other than the fact that they are money grubbing broken software peddlers, just like a game company we all know and love, MX keeps lots of us employed. Actually, the software is not all that broken, it just seems to have a lot of undocumented connectivity.

Seriously, it gets lots worse than MX. Try and get 500 PITA Users up to speed on UNIX. Or for that mater, try to get Linux installed on 40 different makes and models of desktops, 1500 of
them. No thanks! I will put my faith in MX, well MX and some good Crisco fiirewalls in front of the ISA server array. And just to be sure, we might want some intrusion detection on the side. Add that all up, and we can see that MX is helping to revitalize the tech industry.

OK that was not serious, it was facetious. But seriously for real, there is another that is far
worse than MX. So bad in fact that MX licenses parts of their OS�s from them. For fear of an
attack on my wallet, I do not recall the name of this company, but it sounds like Citrus.

Uh, no Geo, that wasn't me.

And here I thought I was just waiting for someone else's game to finish!

Oh well, no big deal. Bring on my next tormentor!

My appologies Nodachi. I had you off the hill for a break of some kind. Must have mixed you up with someone else. You're next.
