First Contact. An acceptable interval between game start and first contact. Our win/loss records in K.O.T.H. are virtually identical, so I am interested to see how this one plays out.

 Yes we have met and the advantage is yours for the moment. Some very interesting racial choices on Gecko's part. While I stick with conventional wisdom.  
Good luck Gecko

 Yeah, I figured that one was safe to delete since you had already updated the KOTH page about it. Correctly figured. The only thing which I need when the game is finished is the turn number.

		K.O.T.H. Roanon vs. Primitive 
 
A fairly small galaxy with starting positions not too far away. After a few territorial successes, I'm struggling to keep Primitive under control, and battling vs. my resource management. Will my poor resource management or Primitives hordes win, or do I have a chance to keep him under control? Very exciting game right now...

		Asmala vs Cheeze 
 
It's over.  Last time we played, I was so outmatched I couldn't even see how much better Asmala played.  That might have happened this time too, except that I played so badly Asmala didn't need to put much effort into it.  Once again, I go down in defeat, but I had fun on the trip.  On the bright side, I had a couple of successful attacks, I just could put together any kind of coherent offensive. 
 
Among many things I should have done smarter was prepare defenses.  With the ancient trait, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Asmala would prepare an attack that would take the shortest route to my homeworld....just someone smarter than I was this game. 
 
One of these days I might make a better adversary, but that wasn't today.  Nice game!!!

		KOTH - Gandalph vs. Joachim 
Standard map and settings 
Stardate 2411.3 
 
Borders have been established for sometime. At first glance, the galaxy seems split evenly. I suspect that is not true as he has been outproducing me at every turn and has maintained a 1st place position for quite some time. There have been many battles fought in the border systems. Both of us have pushed through the border systems, at one point or another, only to be cut down by defending forces. I am only alive because my ships are technologically and militarily superior. In most battles, he has a hard time hitting me with his APB's and when he does, he has to get through my shields. My PPB's, however, are hitting him with regularity and, naturally, bypassing his shielding. Game is far from over.

 I think the game was settled by the colony ship which I was able to capture from you. Second colony tech and different atmosphere breathing population is quite unbeatable advantage.

 Welcome back whenever you want. 
 
Primitive has impressive pace, a little over week and two victorious games
