It's time for a new Tournament...Ratings Bash I

New game: Asmala vs Rex. Looks to be a titanic struggle. Winner of this game earns the first spot in the Tournament Championship game.

Although they might have to wait a while to learn who their opponent will be. Take your time guys, we still have one first round game still going on.

The Arcadia league (that's me) surrenders in the Georgig/Alneyan Ratings bash game. What can I say? I have been obliterated by better strategy and a much stronger economy, while I made quite a lot of mistakes of my own. (Why you should *not* lower Environemental Resistance and Reproduction too much to name but one.) And then the long-term approach has never been a good idea when you are in a quite small galaxy with no choke points, not to mention using Light Carriers against Destroyers. Poor ideas, poor execution, poor leadership, uncontested victory for Georgig. Well done!

Now you should beware, for I am attempting to seize the much sought after Crown. That is, the Crown you earn when you lose all your four matches. For now I am half way, and if I keep on playing that well, I don't expect to win any game in the Tournament. (However, I do hope to win a certain KOTH game with Grazic. I can daydream, can't I?

Unless they were disabled, there is always the possibility of ruins.

They were disabled.

RexTorres, the enemy I have feared most to encounter. Lastly I met him in KOTH game and he kicked my butt so hard and thoroughly it's still timid.

Geo, are you going to update the Tournament Bracket? When you do it could you also correct the typo: Skynky has vexed me a long time.

Your attack indeed worried me, I wasn't expecting an attack from there. Luckily my emergency build weapon platforms were able to stop your fleet. Hmm, missile ships aren't very good against planets, that range-bug is quite serious one.

I had combat sensors II, just no money to retro-fit my ships or build new ones, that was why I researched a second colony. I was stuck in a small area with almost no Rock Planets of any size and had to get money somehow. The early attack was designed to keep you on the defensive and to allow me to get control of that good system. It worked for all of 6 turns before you destroyed that system and moved on.

It might not be a day-dream. That game still balances on a knifes edge.
