And I posted a thread hailing him in a challenge game 4 of us have. Last I heard, though, he didn't say he couldn't play...he said he couldn't take on any new games (Anklebiters). I assumed that meant he could finish his games that were in progress. If he dropped from the Challenge game, it would affect 3 other players since it's a rated game...actually killing the game.

Hi. I would like some players to test out some of the new koth maps i have been working on.

With some of the upcoming games ask to play on a new Koth Map.

Asmala can set the games up with some of the new maps and then you can post your thoughts about them in the other thread. I Have a map pack of some tester maps set up this weekend for download.

IT would be a great help as I am at the big stage of setting up the start positons.

He's having some RL problems, and told me will have problems to play his turns for awhile, but he didn't told me that would be unable to continue.

Thanks, Master B. We will just wait, I guess.

Yes, I'm looking forward to being a guniea pig. Here's hoping it's terribly unbalanced - in my favor.

Phoenix-D surrenders!
He had organic DDs and I used fighters. The fighers where way to hard for his PD to kill. I remember Grandpa Kim doing the same to my organic ships.

Gee, Parabolize, if you play that fast and win again, I could do something that's rarely done...play the same person twice in the same attempt on the hill

Hey, I plan to at least put up a fight... My goal is to at least Last longer than I did against you, Slynky.

Phoenix-D and myself have volunteered to test one of your new Maps (Asmala's choice).

Tesco, where I can find the maps?

VadimBey vs Cheeze, turn 227

VadimBey has won. This game went on incredibly long and was so much fun to play. I thought I was finished over 100 turns ago, but I was given the opportunity to recover and re-engage. I tried several different ideas, but mostly I lost because I was unfocused and erratic, changing things around and not following through on others. There was a point where I probably ought to have won as well, but Vadim was too spread out through the galaxy and was extremely well-served by having troops on many colonies and an enhanced happiness. Had I been playing someone who guts their happiness trait, they would have fallen apart at that point.

Playing VadimBey was like fighting a constrictor snake. Most of the game he moved slowly but decisively, and once he gained ground he rarely yielded. And he ended up choking me out until there was absolutely no way I could fight much further.
