		Well, SparHawk, I think Mark is a good player.  Very good.  I think he will be hard to beat, with or without losing concentration...     ).  You just can't make any mistakes playing against him!  I feel good that I Lasted over a hundred turns with him!  
 
But games with people like him help you learn and get better.  And have fun along the way.  And, besides winning (      ), that's what it's all about.

		Primitive climbs the final steps to the top of the hill. He finds a strange little man called Mark the Merciful already waiting. A saint ? 
It does not matter if its a Lord, a Saint or the Viking King himself, the rusty (yet pointy) spear of Primitive do not discriminate.  
 
Primitive VS Lord Chane  
Lord Chane surrenders at turn 55. I clearly had the best starting position, as well as the home cort advantage in the first major battle. He jumped into my system just when I was gathering my forces for the jump. If he had waited 2 turns I would have gone first and everything could have been very different. I wish him better luck on his way up the hill again. 
 
Mark: 
Think it's us now. What about a Tesco Map ?

		Ragnarok vs. Baron Grazic 
2401.6 - Still no meeting of empires yet (as too be expected using Tescos maps) 
First place went back and forth for awhile but now Baron has held first for a few turns in a row. Expansion and exploration are still going on and planets are developing nicely. In my home system of !*@&#^$% is...ya right, you think I'm going to give out information about it?         
More reports will come as turns progress.
 
Baron, you should do reports from your viewpoint as well. You usually are the "reporter" for your games so I know you can do it.

		Ragnarok's  "Baron Chasers! Federation" vs. Baron Grazic's "EEEvil EEEmpire" 
2402.2 - I Agree with Rags, in stating that no meeting of empires has yet occurred, to the benefit of the EEEvil EEEmpire.
 
The insane EEEmperer Grazic is living up to being the most insane member of the EEEvil EEEmpire. First he starts off having the Home World emergency build nothing, then while carefully watching the Mineral Balance, he forgets to look at the Rads and has to scrap 20 Space Stations (well perhaps not that many but a bit of misinformation won't hurt         ) then he double uploads the same turn...          
The EEEvil EEEmpire has heard a whisper on the solar winds, and we will continue looking for the source so that our ships "everLasting gobstopper", "kenny's dEEEad again!" and not forgetting our most insane ship of the fleet, "n'sync's rEEEvenge" can stop the noise...
 
Edit:-  2403.5 - Contact made with the Baron Chasers! Federation, in almost the centre of the Galaxy - Nice name Rags, but it won't help.  {Fingers & Toes crossed}

 All of my turns downloaded/uploaded OK as far as I know... I have experienced no diffculties. If you still can not extract, we can send a note to Asmala to rerun the turn due to corrupted file(s). He should be back Tuesday sometime. Let me know. 
 
BTW: I check my email regulary, so that is another reliable method for contacting me.

		Ragnarok's  "Baron Chasers! Federation" vs. Baron Grazic's "EEEvil EEEmpire" 
2404.1 - We finally met a few turns ago towards the center of the map. He took out my colony ship with a classy named ship "Pain".        I then sent my fleet down to one of my systems to protect against any possible threats in that area. A couple turns go by and nothing happens. A turn or two ago he came into another system occupied by me (different section of the map then where we first met) with 2 ships; aptly named "Big Ship" and "Pain".       Then in the area we first met he tried to enter my system only to be stopped my my fleet.      He lost while I only took damage to one of my ships. (9%/1 component) And that is how it currently stands. I have held first place for quite a few turns now. 
 
Things should prove to be interesting. I am worried for a couple reasons but I cannot let those be known at this time.
