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

[Slynky]

I'd be honored to set up the next game, Asmala. That is, if it's OK with Joachim. I think Joachim might go for the Balance mod...I've played him twice on it and he's darn good on it!

I will post the PBW game expecting it is OK with Joachim but if not, all I would need to do is delete the game and someone else could do it.

I'm off work tomorrow (I will be in and out with doing chores) and could get the game started just about any time tomorrow if you guys are ready.

Now, I'm off to update the Ratings site.

PS: Hope the map worked out despite the wieird spiral map (with 2 choke points). At 51 turns, it's hard to tell if the map affected the game too much. By that, I mean if the game had gone, say, 75 (or more) turns, that would indicate the map didn't have much of an effect.

Koth page updated.

It's me and Joachim next. First we need somebody to set up the game. Slynky, could you do the honors?

Joachim, any preferences for settings? Here are the settings Primitive and I used, and I liked them:

-One good starting planet
-No openers
-No talisman
-No ancient
-Geo's balance mod
-Other than that default KOTH

Yep, sounds like an excellent set up.
Happy to lose rating points

Good luck Asmala!

Sup peeps. So far I'm in five games... two are newbie games, one hasn't started yet, one I'm playing as a replacement and one is that RTV Osshod thingy...

I'd like to start at the base of the hill... Preferably matched up with an opponent with a couple days or a day of spare time a week... I'm not too keen on taking half a year to finish a game (already playing five of those sorts of games lol), so my idea is to have once a week "blitz" where we play for 4-6 hours together... if anybody wants to join the hill that has the same idea, and wouldn't mind matching up against a newbish opponent then holler... I'll try my best, I've been reading a lot (dubious, newbie guide, txt files to familarize myself with components) and obviously playing a lot... sending an e-mail to Asmala...

Heh heh

Hi, brianeyci.

Welcome to the madness!

As opponents go, take a look at the rules of KOTH and you'll see you're paired up against the first available on the bottom of the hill. That person might like to set aside some hours to play (and might not). Regardless, games generally go pretty fast here (you can check the KOTH site for some examples). It's a good place, usually, for fast-paced playing.

And good luck!

BBegemott climbes up the hill.

After expansion stage Katchoo had colonised 7 systems and me- 23. That was a decisive adavantage. The rest is simple. Build ships & send them forward.

Thanks for the game Katchoo.

What was your score BTW. I was a bit supprised not to be in front when the colonizers popped up. I had 715 K points, 176 K resources, 134 K Research and 110 Ships + 2 Bases.

You were quite near me. I had 796 K points, 228 K resources, 119 K research, 111 ships and 4 bases.

IMO the weird spiral map didn't have much of an effect to the game. We still had two choke points, and you often have two choke points in a normal map.

Joachim: I'll upload my empire file soon. I also agree this to be a rated game.

Koth page is updated.

Welcome to Koth league brianeyci. Your first match begins now, and the opponent is Katchoo.

[geoschmo]

Idle thought #1: I haven't played a Koth match since February, and I'm still in the top 3 in number of games played.

Idle thought #2: I hope Nodachi returns some day and finally gets a Koth win. It would be a shame to retire 0 and 12.

[Slynky]

OK, guys, gamefile is up. Not sure if you are still awake, Asmala but if you aren't, maybe Joachim will submit a turn today to make sure the game will run right.

Have a good game, guys!
