Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"? - Page 82

If we are talking about basically adding one new level between the top and the #1 contender that on occassion would appear empty then this would be fairly easy to add to the program.

BTW My 2 cents worth on sloooow games. I think we need a rule were either player can have the game put on auto turns (say 48hrs?). I would suggest that if a player has an unexplained absense of X no of days then his opponent gains the right to have the game set to auto turns.

My only concern with Bbgemonts idea is for a circumstance that probably would never come up, btu it would be kind of uncomfortable if it did.

What happens if the current King and #1 contender are playing, and the #2 and #3 contender start a game per the idea. Then before #2 and #3 finish the KING game ends. Does the King wait then? And what if a #4 contender shows up? Now do you have the King and the #4 contender sitting idle while the #2 and #3 contenders play?

Something to think about. But whatever you decide is fine with me Asmala. It's your baby now. I'm just one of the commoners.

Well, I don't speak for Asmala, Geo. But, I'd think he would want to hear different opinions. One person can't think of everything. And experience in things such as this always helps. BTW, Geo, you still playing in KOTH, right?

This explains from I haven't heard from Geoschmo.

Asmala, assuming your the new KOTH GOD, can you now delete the Grazic vs. Darkshado 1.49 KOTH game?
Grazic's Lego Empire defeated Darkshado's Zanthu Federation after 36 turns. I learned my lesson from my first KOTH route and hit the Zanthu Federation very hard and fast going directly for their Home World.
Unforntently we are both dropping out of the 1.49 KOTH due to time constraints. I will be staying in the Gold KOTH format.

Turn 121 Update from the Gecko's SpaceSharks versus Grazic's EEEvil Empire Koth Game:-

After the EEEvil EEEmpire withdrew into a corner of the Galaxy things started looking hopeless, being Technologicaly behind, bombaded with Intelligence projects and ships outdated. After a mad rush of Intelliegnece Facilties were built, the EEEvil EEEmpire were even further behind the EEEight ball. But the insane EEEmperor Grazic had concocted a plan so insane that it might just work:-

A declairation of surrender was sent to Gecko of the SpaceSharks.
The EEEvil Fleet advanced towards the SpaceShark Fleet broadcasting the surrender message and as the EEEvil Fleet came into Close Range, launched fighters and opened fire.
The SpaceShark Fleet had time to launch missiles but it was to late with every Last SpaceShark ship being destroyed.

Game continues...

Yes.

Yes. As I said, this idea allows one player waiting for the opponent in each level. (King and #4 in this case). However, if the #5 contender arrives, he plays #4 contender. King plays the first winner of #2-#3 or #4-#5. So one player is waiting. In comparison to the old format, where King plays #2 contender and #3, #4, #5 contenders are waiting, there should be less players waiting for opponents in the top.

The new KOTH pages are now available. The address is pretty long but it can't be helped.

There is quite silent in the Pre-Gold league. After Pablo, Grazic and Darkshadow finished playing only two people are left and they are also different levels of the hill.

Asmala · #**818** May 1st, 2003, 11:05 AM

I'm not going to change the KOTH format yet. It's true that now there is three contenders, but according to Stone Mill's post the current King-match will be over soon. After that match there will be only two contenders and more can't be expected coming soon because there are only me and Cheeze in the top of the hill and our match hasn't even started.

However there is quite a lot players in the middle of the hill, so there can be suddenly much more players in the top of the hill. In that occasion I'll think again if we should use "The Collapsing Hill" idea.

That's sensible decision, I think. Thanks for the attention.

EDIT- Could you delete the "K.O.T.H. (1.49) Pablo vs BBegemott" game?

The game is actually deleted, but the KOTH page has moved. Use the link in my signature to get there.

If you mean the PBW game I'm not the owner of the game so you have to ask Geoschmo to delete that game.
