3. No bug utilization tricks will be allowed. Any player found to be using those tricks will be ejected from the CTP Internet Ratings.
4. No "unwelcomed" harassment of players is permitted during game play. Players who violate this rule will be ejected from the CTP Internet Ratings.
5. All disputes will be adjudicated by Quinns, (unless, of course, Quinns is participating in the game in dispute, in which case an alternate judge will be chosen before beginning the game).

----------------------------------

1. Rated Game sessions are recommended to run between 2 and 4 hours. Continuation dates and times should be established before ending the session.
2. Rated Games are recommended to be played at the KING difficulty level.

Paulino1 heh Thursday night what time? Now a precondition WE FINISH A GAME

I will be willing to allow you a graceful out... we shall start a new game. I adimit I am being too graceful here and should just butter the toast you are but we Canadians believe in showing respect for the falling...

In all fairness to your tittle I will grant you this one wish... But YOU MUST FINISH THE GAME

Feel up to a *hit kicking?
Ok that was not fair you have no boots to kick back

What time???

I'm still waiting as time's tick tick ticking away...

[blackice]

Good Job ber

[berXpert]

But I don't think I can handle so long... maybe if I use that technique from a No1 out ther to play agains newbies only, maybe I can be top all the time.

Or like other No1 out there, playing only vs the same players...

who knows?

...

I want to thank my manager Blackice for those great tips, to my teacher Lord Gav for quick my butts... and all those great players at cali12 that show me the easy way to lose a lot of games, and thanks all who play against me some time for your time.

... I think we need a cry smiley here....

[blackice]

Game: My soul for sol's

Players:

Franses Vs Blackice

Winner: Blackice
Close Second: Franses

Good game Franses It was close, you got ahead in science I thought I had better attack. I look forward to your revenge lol I mean the next game

Anyone gaming tonight? Eme...

[Franses]

I just gave up in my game to Blackice.

He was far ahead from the start. It took me some time to find the land needed for my settlers but in the end my science went ahead a bit. I had three full monopolies by that time. However, Blackice had a far better Navy and tactics. I could not stop him from taking over several of my cities.

When I opened the map after the game I was quite surprised. Blackice had a bit more than one Island while I occupied more than 4. Although he had more goods at the start, I had a lot more in the end. Why did I loose? I understand that I was behind from the start, Blackice having a river and all that. But he did certainly make the most of this one Island.

Well done, Blackice. I liked the game a lot. Looking forward to our next game. Do not expect to win again. :-)

Congratulations,

Franses

Players : {Darth, Gavrushka}
Finishing Order: {Gavrushka, Darth}
Game Name: {Let them Nukes Fly...)

Description : { Darth found me early on, but decided to regroup, in a mad panic I sent ships everywhere looking for him, and found him a few turns after, and started pressing the attack - I did my best to blockade his ports and sent a few small fleets looking for anything that might escape the net, he built up massive defenses in his cities, so I brought in large reinforcements whilst I developed my science, and attacked with nukes, aircraft and then walked into one of his high prod cities at which point Darth conceded... It was an excellent game, and if I had not been able to contain Darths Subs, the result would not have been assured...}

[faded glory]

Im so traumitized Please excuse my absenses from the gathering on saturdays

[blackice]

CTP Internet Game result

Game { The Red Peril}
Players {Gavrushka, Franses}
Finishing order {Gavrushka, Franses}
Game Description { Franses was an elusive prey, he found me then diasppeared without trace for around 3000 years, all this time I searched and searched, until eventually I found the fringe of his civ, where much trade was afoot, I captured what I believe was a trade centre and set it up as my own trade centre, I got 5 modern advances ahead and had a superior navy that was difficult to challenge, and Franses conceded.... HOWEVER, we started another game straight after.... and the situation is totally reversed.... I am well and truly on the back foot in every element with him outsciencing, out producing me and with an extra 11 cities.... I am introuble........}
