If it hasn't been accepted by next Friday, I'll take it, Primitive.

The challenge match between Primitive and Slynky ended prematurely at turn 33.
Congrats to Slynky, the new no. 1 ranked player in the world

It wasn't my fault, it was the map. Yeah, thats my story and I'll stick with it.

The truth: I gambled and lost. I colonized, he built ships.

Beeing a slow learner, I'll try another challenge:

Anyone up for: Primitives Challenge 2 to be played on this map:

With these settings:
- 5 planet start
- Full tech
- No intel
- No Stellar Manipulation
- No Talisman
- 3,000 racial points

The map should be balanced (computer generated, only editet a few spacelanes). A quick count of planets says there are a little less Hydrogen planets, and of course there are no None Gasplanets so the None planets will be smaller on average. I have not checked how the planets are distributed but it looks to be plenty of everything everywhere. BTW, I will play Oxygen and take Ancient to offset that I have seen the map. My opponent (if I can get any

), can also get a peak of the map before the start if he takes Ancient. Top or bottom start position will be random.

Any takers ?

BTW:
If anyone else want to try this setup or or something else on this map, I'll be happy to run the game

Baron Grazic has defeated me in Ratings Game 3. I'm afraid my organic gambit did not work, and I was outclassed by superior strategy on every level. At least I learned a few things along the way...

I take offense to every compliment Chronon, because I have learned the hard way already, to colonise hard and fast, whereby you just learned that.

Geo, Can you setup another game between us? Exact same settings.

Okay, I'm hereby surrendering to Parabolize in SE Rating Game V. His Talisman-equipped DUC ships are killing my fighters before they can even get near them, AND he has stealthed ships behind my lines.

I HAVE colonized a lot of planets, but making him slog through them is pointless. Chalk up another loss for me.

The map was GREAT on my side i had 26 breathables in 28 systems before i got gas and ice. I had 120 LCs on the way

edit: spelling

Two new Ratings games up and accepting players:

SE4 Ratings Game VI. This is another two player game.

SE4 Ratings Game VII (3 Players) . Yeah, you can probably guess on this one.

Ok, game is up and I assigned you both to it.

I will apply to the 1vs1 game, anyone wants to help me in my struggle to take over the Last place in the rating? Beware Deccan, as I shall take your place.

No, no, no. You have to lose 2 rated games in a row before even thinking about usurping my place.

Wednesday and still silence. Perhaps they are scared of the hoardes. Or maybe the game settings are a bit "radical" for them.
