Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
Well, as long as you are willing to trade the "excitement of exploring" for the possibility of having "lady luck" poop on your parade and find yourself losing to someone of inferior ability because of a lopsided start, have at it. 
It's supposed to be a measure of skill, not a measure of who got screwed in positioning. In my latest game (I believe), by the time the lines had been drawn, I had 7 worthless systems on my half. At the end of the game, I saw that he had only 2 worthless systems. If that had been Asmala, I would have had NO chance of a win.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
My latest game should be..interesting. Intel is off, and I accidentally boosted intel to 125%. Instead of dropping intel to 50% like I planned, I dropped RESEARCH to 50%.
That and the right-side flank is completely open. Four useless systems in a row- nebula, all ice/gas, nebula, nebula. We're both rock.

Phoenix,
Research 50%? Now that hurts! I bet it making you be inventive in how you play?

KOTH has been updated. People cheer for Glyn, but nobody has a friendly thought for the friendless KOTH admin. *Huddles in a corner and cries*

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
Who needs a kind thought for the admin when the admin gets....wait for it.... a FREE bottle of the finest vodka produced anywhere in the world! And it can be yours today, for the low low price of $20.98 shipping and handling...
...additional charges may apply.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
KOTH has been updated. This update marks the beginning of the Era of Laziness.
As far as gifts go, just send me some calissons from Aix-en-Provence or something along these lines. Calissons *are* something the French do well; somehow, the place is better known for dull cheese and plain wine, though (I'm not overly fond of either). *Shrugs*
