SE4 Rating Games VI: Loser (Sad State of Affairs) versus Alneyan (the Arcadia League). Turn 2404.1

We made contact a few turns ago in a system which would become the heart of the most devastating war the galaxy had ever seen and... Oops, I overdo.

I have been second for the whole game, hopefully rank doesn't really matter. (I was first with a little advance on Geoschmo, even when the game was virtually lost for me) Both our starting systems were actually quite poor, resulting in ecominical hassle.

I am responsible for the first bloodshed, when engaging a lonely colony ship, or I should say, a Bersecker colony ship which retaliated against me. Not even Colony Ships are easy prey nowadays. Afterwards, Loser discovered the marvelous mines, very useful for making beautiful fireworks. But I fear he has something ready, waiting to retaliate against the League. Will I manage to win or at least, be a significant threat? I will let you bet on that.

As for our Empires, Loser seems to be more dangerous. Yes, I made quite a mistake when designing my Empire, I uploaded the *wrong* empire file. Don't ask. Sure, my current Empire isn't *too* bad but it could be so much better. *Points at Advanced Storage Techniques for instance*

Didn't generate any interest at all in the three player Ratings game so I scrapped that and setup another 2 player game.

Ratings Game VII

I have taken one spot so we just need one more to get started.

It takes quite a bit of nerve to be the first to hop in! Never know when Asmala is feeling froggy ( ).

I'd hop in but I'm trying to save every brain cell for my "Hill" match...

I'd play you now but I'd have to set it up, I guess...what do you think, Geo?

Got it. Replied (getting settings ironed out).

Hmmm, how about this then:

3 GOOD planets;
3000 racial points;
No mines;
No Ancient;
Medium midlife galaxy.

(left intel on for you... )

Counter? Or other suggestions?

We having our conversation here then?

That's fine. No mines. Interesting. That will require some thought.

I'll start the game as soon as both empires are up. Take me a minute to put a 3K race together.
