I think he's built a grand total of one warship this whole game, and I still can't touch him! (I also think the handwriting is on the wall....)

Now that is the kind of game I love to hear about. Totally unconventional. Wow, how's this one going? Find a way to get to Zarix yet? Or is it hopeless?

Oh... and Gandalph...

CONGRATS

Way to go man!

Hi Geoschmo,

Just checking out the KOTH League page, and I see the records section (win/loss/streak) is no longer there. Is this due to maintenance?

Or did I miss a discussion, or request to remove it?

I really liked that feature to check that out to see how people are doing!

No, there was no discussion. I arbitrarily removed it. I may put it back. I am trying to figure out some way to maintain the koth page that doesn't take so much manual effort. I was finding that I was falling behind on the page and it was causing me problems with keeping the games moving. So to make it easier on myself for the short term I pulled the standings since they don't really apply to the league anyway.

Ah... thanks for the update... and for your hard work, as always.

I imagine it's manual upkeep is a bit of a challenge. Hoping that you get help, or a really good idea.

It is going slow. We play about 2 turns a day. We haven't be able to be on at the same time to get turns rolling so it's been slow. But we will finish up in due time.
But the current turn is 107. I'm still in first place and plan on staying there. I just took out a fleet of his at a warp point and I'm sure that hurt alot. As soon as repairs are made I will be continuing the charge into his territory.

Congratulations, Ragnarok. Your economy can support far more ships than mine can; the Last battle left me with exactly six. What little I had was bankrupting me already...

It was enjoyable while it Lasted, though.

Good luck in the next round. As for me, I think I'll have to withdraw for the time being; it's been hard for me to keep up in a timely manner, and I don't want to hold anyone up longer than necessary. Good luck all

Fear the Gharr, we'll be back!

Darkhorse, I want to thank you for the great game. You had me worried many times that I would lose the game. Although I held 1st place from the start I was still scared.
When I first started pressing your systems your ships did enough damage to stop my fleet until I could get repair ships there. This allowed you to build that final fleet of yours, but alas, it wasn't enough.
Thanks again!

Geo, who is next for me? I believe Gandalph gets Tesco. So do I have to wait on a partner?

Hey Geo, any guesstimate when the KOTH page will be updated and new opponents assigned? Don't get in a big rush to do just because I'm asking.

Just curious. I can totally understand that you are extreamly busy.

geoschmo · #**398** February 27th, 2003, 05:42 AM

Yeah, I need to get that updated. You don't have an opponent right now though. As soon as another game ends though.

Ok, cool, thanks. That's all I needed to know.

Yep, Geo, update the 149 page too when you have time
