Dominus Transcendi Challenge

[Chowlett]

I'll take it - you have my details right? ACT036 seems to be fairly dead, so I'm only involved in one game atm. I reckon I can spare another 5 mins a day or so from my revision.

DT 6 to 10 were started tonight. See 2nd post on the first page of this thread for details, and the multiplayer forum for the turn tracking threads.

And I'd just like to say (as an excuse for bumping this thread ) a big thank you to Red for starting these games and especially mine

3 days in and 48 individual turns played already - it's amazing how interesting, tense and (above all) fast-moving these one-on-ones can be. I particularly like playing a game where you don't have to worry about the rover rush. Just for a change, you understand.

[Paul]

I agree with Misotu. I like these fast-moving two-player DT games. It's nice to occasionally be able to finish a game in about a month instead of several months or in some cases more than a year.

[Aredhran]

Bump to celebrate Misotu's victory vs Paul in DT7 ! Not the fastest victory (fell short 1 year), but definitely the highest score and the quickest completion of the game. Congratulations

See 2nd post on 1st page for results

MarkG has fixed the edit feature

Congrats Mis! Now, for my entry into the hall of fame

[Misotu]

Go for it Mark Do you fancy playing me, BTW?

[mark13]

Hmmm, now there's an intriguing proposition - and one which I can't refuse, methinks - let's go for it

Can't promise to finish the game within a week, though

[Misotu]

That's OK ... we can take two weeks if you like Seriously, my family were threatening to divorce me just before Paul and I finished our game, so a slightly less frenetic pace will be just fine

Aredhran, would you be willing to set up a game for Mark and I please?

[Aredhran]

Can do, but not tonight... it's almost 1 am, and I'm going to bed

[Paul]

I must say that I do miss the quick turnaround from DT7. Of course, I live alone, so I don't have to worry about my family wanting to divorce me.

Anyway, I would be interested in playing more DT games if anybody wants to play against me. You don't necessarily have to be able to finish the game in less than two weeks like Misotu.

[Misotu]

I'm on a strict ration of SMAC playing time at the moment. It's kind of like being grounded, but in my case they force me to go out, blinking, into the daylight and do normal, everyday things involving real human contact and fresh air

I'm sorry to say that Tig isn't going to have time to play DT8 against me On the up side though, since Mark and I already agreed to have a match, I've asked Tig to send his turn and password off to Mark. I hope that's OK with Red - it saves having to set up another game and it means we can get going.

[Paul]

Daylight, human contact, fresh air? What are those?

I also just received an email from Tig saying that he could not play DT9. He offered to send the turn and his password to a replacement player if I could find one, so if anyone is interested in playing against me, you can get the turn and password from him. I had already played the first turn of the game.

Hobbes is looking for a partner for a new DT game... any takers ?
