Where were all you guys when I was #2 contender and we added another level?

Below you, and wanting a shot at you.

RexTorres (Rex Enclave) vs BBegemott (Vengeful dreamers)
Turn 2408.3
King match
10 starting planets + tesco map + default

Both empires had great, maybe critical loses in the Last 20 turns. I have destroyed nine RexTorres homeworlds, but lost five. Also a couple of nice planets were destroyed by both sides. It looks like the number of ships decreased much quicker than the number of planets, so there were no combats in the Last 2 turns. Neither me nor RexTorres has large fleets causing chaos now. What keeps us fighting is the knowledge, that the opponent is experiencing the same economical difficulties.

Good news to me are that my intel projects have broken trough his CI. So I am bombarding RexTorres with Food Contamination. Also I was able to hold the 1st place since turn 60 or so, but I doubt it is a big achievement in the current situation.

I am ancient and I can say without revealing much that each of us has at least 50 clonies remaining.

So we are rebuilding our economy and military. Who will be the first to strike the final blow? I have no idea. Not yet.

I agree with Geckomlis as well. Personally I joined KOTH because I can play quick games and after finishing one I get the other soon. So I can keep the costant game number. And I do not care where I am- bottom or top. What I want is a game- quick, tough and now.

As an alternative I will suggest again the possibility of simultaneous matches. We don't know yet whether Rex or Bbegmott will be King. If both of them will agree to play a one on one game againt Asmala now, assuming Asmala is willing to get into 2 more games, then we can get a head start on the next King match.

I think I can handle one more game. But that's the limit for me. I do not want two more games before the others finish.

The way I see it working, you would only need to play one more. Against Asmala. As well Rex would need to play Asmala. Asmala would be the one getting two more games, but sinec he currently has no game, hopefully that wouldn't be a problem.

What would happen next would depend on who won which games.

Now the question is

What is the goal.

Is it to be KOTH.

Or is it to play games.

If it is to play games then add the row to get the 4 players playing again. A temp row is all it is used when there is 2 people or more waiting to play the king.

geoschmo · #**2106** January 5th, 2004, 10:40 PM

I want to be King.

If anyone is waiting and just wants to play a game, we don't need to add a level. I'll play you.

Guys even though I am down - out of just plain spite

- I plan to fight it out to the bitter end. Unless someone can convince me to abdicate for the good of the kingdom

.

So all of you who are at the jewelers getting their crowns fitted should go to the local tavern to have some grog or something.

Don't take our kvetching and moaning personally. I for one plan to play to the bitter end when I get the chance, so no way I could begrudge you that. But from the way Bbegemott talks it's no sure thing you are going to lose.

Always remember...

That's good to know. I was actually feeling a little guilty more than anything.

I think the best way would be to add the extra level again (not sure why it was removed at all) and leave it that way.
I suppose that would mean pairing Asmala and Geo and putting MB against Spoon/Slynky.

I know it is tough on the guys who are in contender spots right now. I have been there myself before.

But since we have that precedence when DavidG and myself had to fight another match to regain our contender spots, I really see no problem with that ruling.

BTW, Asmala, please put me back on bottom of the hill. I'll try another shot for the crown
