Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"? - Page 357

Please don't quit. I don't care about lost research etc as it's only a little and the manufacturing potential lost in really small (say 30 mines total made).

I really don't feel disadvantaged. I just want to play.
Leave others opinions out of it. I am fine with any method of resolution whether it be a few turn roll back, taking what we have and my exploding all mines or what have you.

There was no "Your mine error" just a misunderstanding, a misconception, and an accident.

Anyway, if there is a way to make this continue I am all for it.

Hmmm...... I miss playing seiv.

Can you add me back to the list. I could go for a few quick games.... as I usually end up losing on these games.

For your investment in (game) time and willingness/desire to play on despite the various comments, I've applied to join the game. I'm assuming, but of course, I'm likely not to know as I'm finding out all sorts of things about the game lately, it's as simple as being accepted and sending in the next turn.

For our situation, destroy existing mines and we can disregard the rest. I'll decide what to do with the invading fleet of 5 remaining ships (retire or advance).

Good luck.

Keen! I look forward to continuing! 5 ships scares me not! (yet!)

I'm sorry if you feel that way. I think you could have handled it better if you had known about this feature, but Rathar made a far greater mistake. The best possible approach for you would have been to bring it up with Rathar as soon as you noticed, pretending you'd just right-clicked on the tech for whatever reason, but you really didn't have any obligation to do anything about it at all except to not violate the agreed-on rule. Rathar, however, did have a clear obligation in my mind to verify that the no-mines rule was dropped before breaking it, and he should suffer any consequences of correcting his error.

Meh, I knew about it as soon or sooner than he did as construction is the very very very first thing I research in a game (due to the large bonuses to production from troops..) but well, I didn;t mention it as I assumed wrongly that we would both reach the same decision about it... Things got F'd up yah, fault, none.

I have surrendered to Glyn. For some reason my heart wasn't in this game and I got off to a bad start. Not really sure why. But in either case, Glyn has earned himself a victory, and if possible Alneyan, I'd like you to remove me from the hill for the time being. I have little time to play right now and just don't feel like it either. But I will be back, probably sooner rather than later.

Updating skill roll: [1d20+7] => [14+7] => [21], needed 15.

KOTH update is a success.

All hail to Grandpa Kim... He ground down the forces of Child of the Emperor and is victorious!

Great game, Grandpa Kim! Several large reverses of fortune, but in the end you just kept coming faster than I could respond.

Child of the Emperor.

Glyn · #**3570** December 23rd, 2005, 11:55 AM

Good game Renegade, much better than the first one! I look forward to playing against you again in the future. I didn�t even get to spring my surprise attack via the black hole system in your backyard.

Since there are now two #2 contenders and a current battle for KOTH, do we (Grandpa Kim and Glyn) need to battle it out for the contender slot?
