I just did it. I hope it will be some help

BBegemott, your suggestions are great. I just wrote you back.

I feel sorry for you fools who are going to try this. This Tournament will just be plain abusive.

Yeah, there will be no winners sorry guys.

I could use some abuse, count me in!

I like Tesco's idea of having the winner design the next challenge. Challenge league anyone?

This is a fine idea. By all means the winner will have the right to design the next one.

FYI: I've gotten some pretty harsh suggestions. I almost feel guilty about using some of this stuff. Almost .

But I'm not kidding. I'm going to try and playtest it first to ensure there is at least a sliver of hope for victory. As of right now, I would be very impressed with anyone who could beat this.

If you think you are one bad SEIV player... I dare you to take the challenge!

Good!! I see this as an excellent training tool for players, newbie and vet alike.

Stone Mill Remember only you play like you

The rest of us will attack the problem from different angles.....

Perhaps you might be surprised at the tatics.

I suggest that the games be set up on PBW.

That way they can be kept track of... Or are you saying....

here is the game....

Go !

P.S.

Set a time line for when the challenge ends !

If I understand the concept behind this, the only real reason to put it on PBW is to prevent players from going back a few turns every time something happens they don't like. If you think that will be a problem then PBW is the way to go.

Geo,

I would very much like to set this up on PBW. I think that it would help tracking, administration, and help promote a level playing field.

If you see any barriers to what I propose, please let me know.

Also I am considering setting up a simple tournament web page just for fun when this kicks off.

Tesco- you have good points. Glad to see the fighting spirit.

Nodachi- Hmmm... this may be a learning experience for newbies... if newbies want a learning experience that makes them say "What the F?!?!" and scream incessantly while they run up and down the street banging their heads on random objects.

Stone Mill- That's my point. Getting your butt handed to you is one of the best ways to learn!
