The Galaxians
OK, game 1 & 5 are over and here are your positions:-
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))
18 May 12 UTC
1) Leonidas 20 D
2) Chanakya 19 D
3) kmonkman 11 D
3) Zmaj 11 D
5) Mannerbroheaim 4 D
6) NigeeBaby 3 D
7) der Herrscher 0 D

We can see who the smooth talkers are after the finish in the Full Press game. No real surprise Leonidas is leading but watch out for Zmaj in the anon gunboats, that lad is running hot at the moment. I understand why I play no chat games :-)
Latest odds:-
Leonidas 6/4 to win
Chanakya 3/1
Zmay 9/2
kmonkman 20/1
All others 100/1
Leonidas (635 D)
18 May 12 UTC

bit of cheese
peanuts (salted)
2 pints pf strong lager
vodka and orange

Thank you NB..:)

(But I would like to point out one thing...
Chanakya is a different player I am "Chanakya. " i.e. with a full stop after the name.. :D )

LOL

I was not getting that name so I put a stop there....


Well, Thanks to all for the games..I liked them all.

One question for NB : What is the point system based upon? I think You discussed at the creation? Please tell me about it.

Points are based on Supply Centres, pure and simple
Are you telling me that the Chanakya I know and love is not you, that there are 2 Chanakyas floating around the site, the only difference is that one constantly has a period, that's bloody crazy !!

DiploMan might be a bit sexist and alienate any women that were thinking of playing, we could call it DiploPerson or maybe the MetroSexuals :-)

LOL, Okay about the name..of serie..

But yes one Chanakya is less active and Chanakya. is active..
I am userID=42942

OK, unless we get a better name we'll call the next series the Diamond Jubilee Champions Trophy and will consist of 5 consecutive matches, 3 gunboats, 1 public press and 1 full press to start as soon as we have 7 keen and eager participants. They cost 5pts each and have 24-hour intervals.
We need to find some worthy players to take on the Galaxian 2012 Champion.
Please sign up below if you're interested:-

Thanks for taking the trouble of calculating the standings, NigeeBaby, it's a neat feature :) I won't be playing the next series because I'm still not ready for press games, so good luck.

Great tourney! Thanks NB for your work done outside the games themselves, not a big fan of public press, need a break for a while (had 13 games going for some of this time, TOO MUCH!) haven't decided whether I will partake in the jubilee... Good luck to everyone, see you all soon I'm sure

achillies, you've got to think that when you win you will be saddled with the title all year until you get to defend your trophy so the 'purple monkey dish washers champ' may undersell your achievement somewhat, I may save the Euro Crash Tourney for a few more weeks but I don't think it will be long before that Tournament and event is in full swing
2 more keen and enthusiastic contestants needed to be chucked into the furnace of red hot gunboat competition

We'll double the pots, make it WTA and start on June 10th, how does that sound?
And maybe with a 50% resign rate I'll need a new player or a keen reserve just in case
I'll start a new thread near the time but here is the line up for the

1) NigeeBaby
2) Chanakya.
3) TheFlyingBoat
4) Vicky[Toss]
5) achillies27
6) Kremen
7) Leonidas

We still need a reserve in case of a last-minute bail-out. I'll search for a`worthy victim, I mean candidate
Chanakya. (703 D)
23 May 12 UTC
Leonidas : I didn't pipped you I was lucky every game..So I got ahead of you in time..But You are more likely a winner..and Zmaj was also a good player in that tournament..

And Its okay after 10 June.. But Name is rather dull.Dishwasher? lol

Can you change it?

Or do as you want..I will be off for some days due to issues I discussed on Forums earlier.
