My empire done and uploaded.
I live in Krosno - little town (~40k inhabitants) in Poland. Believe me you won't be able to find it on a common map.
And you've asked me about my nickname. No, it isn't a reversed "Simon".

Just uploaded mine, so whenever Geo has time, we can begin.
Krosno? Poland? Hmmm...got me worried now. Foreign players are often very crafty and skilled.
So...
Good luck and good gaming!
Slynky

Whenever the game gets started, please send me my password. I've already forgotten it...

Re: Announcing the 2005 PBW Open Tournament
There is no surprise this time. Slynky has easily defeated me, and he is the winner of 2005 PBW Open Tournament.
I'm proud that I could play against him.

Well, I wouldn't call it easily. It took getting the bigger part of the galaxy, stealing some oxygen breathers, and stellar manipulation to overcome the Talisman.
And the "twist" Geo put in the game (making the map circular) was a surprise that had me in panic mode as I learned my "back yard" was NOT safe from attack.
It was a good game, nomis. You are quite the player for only playing humans for just a few games!

Hope you both enjoyed it and didn't feel that it gave an advantage to one of you. I tried to setup it up carefully to balance the positions.

No, I don't think it was unbalancing. Actually, I found the first one on the back top left and had to keep counting the holes. I was like, "Wha tha...?" So, I sent a ship down and was only a turn or two ahead of nomis. THEN, never thinking for a moment the top right would be another one, took my time getting to that one. BOOM, another one! But it was such a long journey for me, I hesitated sending a ship down it. Especially a colony ship (I had already captured one from noomis and didn't want the same thing to happen). So, I had to build another ship to go check. He was already there with a bit more than me, so I just started building and defending the hole like crazy. Never moved across it at all and at the end of the game, nomis was a bit in desparation status and he attacked through it the turn before he surrendered.
So, all-in-all, I think you guessed right at where to put them so no one really got in the back yard of the other player.
Thanks for hosting the game and tourney. It's a lot of effort to do something like that for the enjoyment of others.
