Hey, what's going on here?!

Cata, you should note this pattern is not a standard ICS, the goal of the pattern is indeed to place bases quickly, but the emphasis is put on minerals.

Actually Lazerus is putting so much into crawlers I could recognise his style even if he's not playing Hive.
I expect that it's also the problem in his Uni tutorial game..

You get 0.5 out of 5 btw, Im ready to continue the PBEM we started, I actually started one with Kirov on the same topic too, so you here form the Anti-ICS island.
He's semi-offline ATM, so I hope he won't bug me to continue with his too..

He wanted to take DA vs my Uni (yeah i know???) so i went with an extra wide spacing to give him a chance. Both of us had unfriendly neighbors, although he somehow forcepacted with usurpers. he had a fungal bloom etc right in his central bases so we called it and postponed a second game indefinitly. which is good for binT.

Boasting is childish, you know..

I didn't want your 'extra chances' and was doing pretty well without them.

Anyways - I'd like someone set up something more balanced than that time with you landing in a rainy terrain (IIRC you said so) and me in place with a single rainy flat (=useless) square and encircled by Mim and Usurpers.

I wonder if Lazerus could help us..

You've seen my CMN attempts

Yeah i can make morgan look like the Hive, i'll make the Uni kick arse aswell, even if they do forget to research

i am thinking its a little more situational for example i dont believe you could ICS a sub2200 transcend

I don't believe you can sub2200 transcend with any strat in 99.9% of games where you aren't popping a ton of AA's or have perfect starting conditions.

aww turn hasn't arrived this morning, you'll all have to keep holding your breath awaiting Lals destruction, i've been practising my quick trigger print screen action

had critized ICS or something and bT sent me his 2199 turn of cgn21 to show me hive ics and oooh how strong he was to which i replied 'is that all'

If I remember correctly I never said anything like 'oooh how strong he was'.
I said, it's my first attempt at Hive ICS in MP and it's not as good as one could like, because I've done some stupid mistakes, which I did also list.

It's not that I get angry fast, your behaviour leaves no other chance to all but hopeless flegmatics.

Lazerus just reviewed 2199 save of CGN 21 and compared to his save of 2199 in Triage PBEM.
Ask him for comments.

Next time you say 'is that all', I await a save where you have something better than that or immediate shutup.
I am serious.

Base count BinT is higher
pop BinT is higher
Mineral average i'm higher
Formers im higher (double)
Crawlers i'm massively higher
Lab income BinT is higher
ec income im higher
Techs being researched BinT - pre sent, me - organic superlube.

Currently I'd say im abit ahead due to fusion + sats which really kick my growth from 2200-2220 but i wish i was that good on my first go with the Hive

yikes just checked triage is 127,127 ... no wonder that hike from bottom to miriam at the top took so long

[Senethro]

Were those 2CP starts or 3CP starts? I'd to be able to make a comparison.

[binTravkin]

You have CGN 21 2101?

[Flubber]

Keep on the trash talk gang

[Lazerus]

It's just forum machoness, they get along great on ICQ

You really think i actualy was serious in saying that bT? I wouldnt handicap myself on purpose

Base count BinT is higher
pop BinT is higher
Mineral average i'm higher
Formers im higher (double)

Lab income BinT is higher
ec income im higher

I do not think a 2226 transcend from cgn21 would be possible. your game has higher tech at 2199 therefore i would say you have a signficantly stronger position. techs take time-you can always spam more bases down.

Yes i know. and i like that style lazerus uses better than a fixed base placement system.

Me too I never understood the fixation on symmetry that some people have. If there is a rocky tile in the way-- MOVE the base over one and keep building

The earth does not collapse if you have to break your borehole pattern and 3 or 4 tiles of additional mines or condensers can be REALLY helpful for some special purpose bases

As for vomparing games and transcends, my question is always if they were from an equal start.

AS an example, I'm betting that a start on the vets map at CGN could lead to some GREAT transcend times-- THe terrain is so very god for a map of that size

[binTravkin]

what happaned to you vs archaic bint?play that game yet? i would be more interested in seeing that actually

After some rather immature 'bull****, strawman' type postings at a particular thread, I do not have interest to play that game anymore - it wouldn't lead to anything good.
If I'd lose I'd have to listen to useless boasting, if I win I'd have to poke him each time for next turn until the game dies OR he would be grabbing every possible reason out of thin air just to say the situation favoured me.

probably you right on behavoiur-since i dont respect it, i dont take the time to make fully thought out posts

Fully thought out posts? Wtf?
You pretended I said what I never did with that 'oooh how good it was'.
You wanted an example of how I ICS, so I showed.
I also admitted it's not as good as it should be, but still it is not weak is it?!?
At least for first time attempt..

Does not take to think much to not lie and not to be ignorant.

And to ever say 'that's all?' or something equally pretensious, a person should produce something better as an example, you haven't yet..
