Well, at least he managed to get games on two different levels, unlike Mwbard, whose two games are at the bottom.

I guess I didn't proofread the update enough, so it should be overlooked for now. KOTH to be updated tomorrow.

If only you would make such mistakes in our games...

Well, I spend so much time on my turns I cannot make mistakes really. I make screw-ups of epic proportions, though.

By the way, I'm betting three Stellar Destroyers on Glyn's slaying the king.

And KOTH has been updated. Update notices are too often at the top of my posts.

I'll take that bet! ..... Oh.. wait ... ur .. That means to win I would have to lose???

Oh well, what would I do with three Stellar Destroyers anyway?


It's still anyone’s game. I think we both got randomly bad starts. I've won the three ship battles, lost two ships to mines and forced him to abandon one colony so far.

The funniest moment was the first ship battle. We both had a single long range missile ship. Both captains decided to attack toe to toe with missiles instead of using max range. Dooh … I could have sworn, I had set the correct strategy.

Max range strategy doesn't always work with two missile ships for some odd reason.

If you're betting three Stellar Destroyers against an old satellite it would be a fair bet since I can't remember when I've got a worse start. I guess the game won't be a long one.

Doh, the PBW server crashed in the middle of my RTC-turn...

Assuming this is not news propaganda, I am thinking right about now you have more appreciation for the Balance Mod... .

Default Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi

If someone likes setting up games and doing the occasional hosting (chiefly when rolling back one turn), you might wish to let me know now, for the betterment of humankind and the like - or plain old KOTH, but it doesn't sound quite as grandiose.

As you may know, I'm running SEIV in a non-native environment, going through the Wine compatibility layer (SEIV is the only Windows program I still run here). Somehow, quite probably because I'm not exactly a master of that moby program, its functionality has gradually decreased with each system change, update, and so on. I have been unable to do any turn processing for a few weeks, and I'm having a very tough time playing the game in the first place now.

I'll try to reinstall Wine and SEIV from scratch, but that will probably wait for a few days after the bulk of my exams has come and gone. If it doesn't help, it will probably be best to find someone else to do the game creating/hosting (where needed). Even now, the inability to roll back games or reset passwords is quite annoying... though at least it isn't *that* frequent.

The corollary is, I'm also not going to do my turns unless I can kludge Wine into more or less working (not trying to crash my X server prior to the Empire Dialog screen would be a start). So Renegade, you should either hope for a quick resolution, or none at all; in the latter case, you could claim one of the quickest victories in the history of KOTH. (We are at turn 22 or so)

Well, as most anyone should know, I'm always available to set up games. So, count me in whenever you need me.

I can wait as long as needed Alneyan, until you get everything up and running nicely again.
