That was a fun game @Golden_Ace - lots of bold moves … and yea, several times I was just BARELY able to get enough ships there in time. 222 ticks in just over 5 days … talk about fast and furious!
If you are trying to see if I was the little kid that played with you, then I probably am not. I have kept my age secret until now. Thus, I wouldn’t have told anyone that I rode a school bus so probably not the person you are thinking about.
I’m sorry @HULK but it looks like I might have to bow out of this one. I am currently in Portland where we have our statewide blackout (Don’t have any internet and power.) to reserve my cell phone data I need to abandon all nonessential uses for the time being (which includes NP). I hope we can have a full game some other time. You’ve been a great opponent and I look forward to a rematch in the future!
Note that you have 48 hours to submit … so (independent of NP), lets hope you get your power/internet back sooner than that. Should we check back tomorrow and see how things are going for 'ya?
FYI that I just won against @BOsshOgg at tick#168 - he conceded earlier. I got some help from some helpful Exp hits on Range early on … plus he had his power/Internet knocked out by the fires(!) … so hopefully he’s doing OK.
@Solfyre and @Trucriot are STILL tied - now at tick #282 - game link
Looks like you guys are stalemated and neither is willing to make a move - any reports from the battlefield?
Turns out this map sucks! Only in that the gap across the way is just a bit too big so that the defender always has too much time to recover. If I completely bail on on of my stars to do an attack, I MIGHT win with a tiny margin, not enough to do anything with other than get crushed next turn. And then I left a big opening in my defense.So, who knows? I suppose we keep waiting for an opening/mistake. There have been none big enough to make a difference.
My match vs. @GalacticHuntingRifle in the April tourney went over 500 ticks. Similarly the map had an unusually wide gap between north and south, turning it into a shell game of warp gate action that took a long time to turn into any clear advantage.
Tick-wise progress was a bit slow the last two weeks as I was traveling. Should go faster again from my side now. Very intense gameplay with juggling the infrastructure race and trying to create opportunities while hoping to prevent @Solfyre’s.
so probably not the person you are thinking about.
