Well, I've always been one that thinks you learn by playing against good people. (of course, one has to be able to comprehend what was done... )

I just wish I could master adjusting strategies!

Cheeze, can't say you'll be facing me. My game with Gozguy has not been decided yet. I probably don't have as much of an advantage as my latests Posts indicate. Some of that might be propaganda for the benefit of my opponent.

UPdate on my new koth game.... Nice map... I believe i will meet my opponent within the first 10 turns.... I think there is 20 systems for us to fight in...
Yeah, I spent 20 minutes adjusting my monitor settings and cleaning my glasses, wondering when those "missing" systems would show up. Tesco, looks like this one's going to be fast and furious. Hold on for the ride!

Of course, having said that, I should probably make preparations to surrender--even though we're only on turn 3.

Seems to me that you risked it all early so that you could have more later.

Well, we're right at turn 30 and I'm still holding my own. 'Course, score isn't everything and he may have gotten a bad start. But, it seems whatever I fight with does poorly so I'm really looking forward (not) to that...if I ever find him .

Well, it's just as we thought. Turn 5, and Tesco and I have met. Suffice it to say we're within 5 systems of each other.

Well, turn 35: geo and I finally met (in our pick-up game--KOTH settings but not official KOTH game). I see his frigate and he sees 2 carriers and assorted colony ships. (well, not assorted colony ships but, sordid colony ships...we sent all our vulgar population out to sew vulgarity in the galaxy).

Should get interesting now.

2400.3 - First contact. One of Asmala's colony ships warped into one of my home systems.

I'm in sooo much trouble!!

"one of my home systems"

How many home systems do you have?

Also, I know you have been reading this thread... , Asmala probably has PPBs on it... .
