Well, My mouse is an optical illusion and very quiet.

You know what I find strange Narf? THese KotH folks have been hungry for (how did the put it) "Fresh Meat" and what do they do? they pit the two newbs against each other instead of using us as stepping stools to move up the ladder.

....wait a minute,... I understand now, they are having us face each other so that in the next round (tier) of the KotH games they will walk all over the new kid on the block. So they will be greatly improving their chanches of getting to the upper levels. Gee, I don't know what will be worse beating you only to be squashed by the next player or loosing to you in the first round.

One thing for sure, it will be interesting.

Cheers!

My PBW Name is AvatarMan.

Let me know who I have the horror (I mean honor) of fighting against.

Cheers!

P.S. ahem, could I possibly start at the top and work my way down? It would be much easier that way.
Welcome aboard, David .

There is a lot to learn in KOTH games. Just becareful you don't get stuck in horrible starting location like I did on my first game. Those super black holes can cost you dearly.

Thanks for a good game. I had both a large and a huge breathable in my home system. Sorry to hear your start was so poor.

When you got to the point where you plowed right through the largest mine group I could afford to launch, I knew I was screwed.

Looking at the post-surrender disposition, I realize now I also had you cornered much worse than I thought. And I agree, that really was an evil start for you. We need better maps for KOTH sometimes.

Updated. There was quite a lot to update this time.
