I don't consider myself one of the best players here, but I'll play if nobody else is interested.

I consider myself a highly experienced veteran ... but i haven't done much pbem's mainly tcp ...

I'm not in a pbem game at the moment so would dearly like to play

[DilithiumDad]

Sorry, Paul, I just can't forget your spectacularly poor performance in ACT035. You can always redeem yourself in my eyes in another tournament game, but until next time...

Ouch! Well, I guess the position is still open. I might as well apply.

My previous SMAC gaming experience involves a small handfull of stalled out games as well as one completion (my first PBEM game) where Mark13 and I were squished by Misotu and (and I forget who -- I think their name started with a B, but could be wrong. I'd have to check the tournament thread. ACT031 if I remember correctly). I'm currently involved in about five or six games where I believe my "skills" have developed quite nicely. Admittedly, I haven't had much human vs. human combat experience besides the stomping I mentioned previously -- I guess I'm jsut a builder at heart.

Am I the best? Probably not.

Can I give those weasely ACOLer's and Civ gamers a run for their money? I think so.

My extra cirucular scholastic activies include being a member of my elementary schools stamp club and being voted most artistic in high school.

Maybe applicants should submit save game files for the council to further review?

DD:

Have you asked Flo and/or Viriato if they would like to partner with you. It seems both of their recent performances in the tourney would indicate they would be great. I think Viriato is a good momentum player, and Flo is great all around, I think.

[mark13]

WE - that was ACT021, where Mis and Garth cleaned up, due to my complete incompetence when it came to dealing with them. It was in no way your fault - it was my first PBEM. Well, that's my excuse anyway

[Misotu]

Well, it looks like Flo, the current Apolyton PBEM Champ, will be teaming up with the very experienced DiDad to form the third Apolyton team - and what a team that is! Great news, and thanks guys

PS Mark/WE, now you know that Garth and I were very lucky to win that one - I don't think either of you would let us get away with that again

[WhiteElephants]

Well, it's settled then, good luck gang.

Mark -- I wouldn't take all the blame for ACT021. Besides it looks like we might get a chance to exact revenge on that mean ole Misotu in the Builder-Momentum team game.

"I'll get you next time Gaget (Misotu)"

What ever happend to Garth Vader anyway?

Edit: Doh! To answer my own stupid question, I see that rascal Garth is teamed with Misotu in the B-M! Ah... the revenge will be so much sweeter!
