Hey ( ), all my good fictional writing gone to waste?

Asmala was branded an upstart on the KOTH league, coming from nowhere and making a name for himself among the "heavyweights". Then came Slynky, more mouth than ability (sheepish grin), and finally, Lord Chane made his debut.

It should have been the challenge of the "Two and Three Digit Forum Posters" -vs- the "Four-digit Forum Posters" .

Anyway, I tried to portray US as the "Black Hole Alliance" (Black representing the "evil" brand we were, well, branded with ). Now, all the sudden, we're the Olden ones? Yes, I'm an old fart but Asmala helps our average...LOL. Besides, Asmala uses the Black Hole Riders as his standard empire name (and, without consent , I used it as our alliance name to honor our young general).

You're a prince among princes! And thanks again for hosting the game (and all that that responsbility has entailed )

Oh, and glad to hear you're sober tonight .

Once again showing initiative calm Commander Slynky has joined the game. The question in everyone’s mind, “Does he have what it takes to take what they have”?

I am still awaiting a decision on how many systems and who if anyone objects to unusual names. I’ll keep them clean.
Dose anyone in the forums have a system name they would like to see used?

Your earlier post said 114 systems. I'll agree to 100 if geo thinks that's enough.

As to names, I've already indicated it's fine by me. I think the rest of the Black Hole Alliance has agreed, also. (Just no names like, Slynky's Black Hole, please )

I totally agree. No way that I am going to go into Slynky's Black Hole, so if there is a system named that he will win by default.

Number of systems doesn't really matter to me. I only brought it up as a matter of discusion. Once it's decided I can plan my strategy accordingly. As long as it's not so big that it takes us a month to find each other.

As we can tell from this one item, any war updates to the match may be humorous!

Ok, I'll make it an even 100 plus a few "extras" that will be un non stratiegic locaitons an of no signifigance to the game except posisble humor.

I'll play test the player distribution to check for time to impact, er contact.

And I hope whatever you discover remains a secret.
