One thing I have learned is that Geo's score doesn't quite reflect his ability. We all know that the more games one gets under the belt, the truer the rating is (that factors luck in). At the current level that people are rated at, I would consider him about a 1015. All I know is this: I never take Geo for granted! He is a wildcard more than most any other player that I know.

Hehe. I think that I was very lucky. If I hadn't found your home system when i did, and had my small fleet there ready to pounce I expect your numerous space yards would have started popping out more then a few warhsips in a very few turns.

All in all a different game. I expected things to happen faster, but high tech with only one starting planet makes developing the economy harder then I expected. Like you I was building more then I could afford quite often.

Yeah, Geo, I hear ya! With SY3's, it's hard to maintain a good balance between resource growth and ship building. It's one of the reasons I like to play full-tech sometimes...it changes the way one thinks a bit and requires a bit different play than KOTH, for example. Plus, I like to have a choice once in a while of the techs I never reach in regular games. It's a good break.

Congrats, Geo!

So, invite Geo and a friend of his choice and let's see once and for all

I believe we will have more luck on this thread to find out potential players Slynky rather than on the hijacked New Year thread.

So we are on the lookout for two players to play a team game, and the other team will be made of Slynky and myself. (Slynky being the Dangerous One that is) So, if you are willing to stand up and join this challenge, please answer. (I know I should definitively not play yet another game, but ... well, it was Slynky's initiative, and I have always wanted to play a game with him, and... Erh...)

Yep, I'd like to play a game with you as my ally. Besides the general liking I have for you, I have a certain respect for your ability. I'm not as good as my rating reflects (I figure I should be around 1050 at current levels) but I think you're better than your current rating reflects.

Since we are taking on ANY pair, I would suggest we take the initiative and decide on what kind of game we want. Then let whomever decide to accept it or not. No need to allow ANY pair to accept and also have to negotiate their terms, right?

So, my young friend, let's discuss what kind of game we are proposing, OK?

Gecko and myself, would be happy to play with you two.
About game settings, well, understand if you want to settle the terms. Anyway, I don't know what think Gecko, but I have not special preferences.

No Intel?

When you guys decide what settings you want let me know and I'll be more than happy to set it up for you. Don't forget, in a game like this, do you want your partner placed nearby and if so, how close?

Thanks, Nodachi!

For this game, I'm thinking starting positions right beside each other (you know, two systems connected by a common warp point).

More later.

Hi all,

Here's one finnish player, who just joined se-rating. Now I am looking for my first game. Any suggestions?

Cheers
Simplify

Nodachi · #**119** January 2nd, 2004, 04:13 PM

Slynky, you're more than welcome!

Simplify, I've noticed that folks get a faster response if they post what kind of settings they want the game to be. Go ahead and post what you'd like in a game, heck, I might even take you up on it!

Never played finite resources or full tech game and dont want to try it in my first rating game. So something basic at start.
I think I need to practice those 1 vs 1 game first, cause it seems that most of rating games are those...

Cheers
