Well let's enjoy it while it lasts. Tonight I'll parade in front of my wife, with all my medals, so she can see how really good I am

That should earn a couple hours of uninterrupted playing time, right?

And not to let an opportunity pass to post my favorite Napolean quote:Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. --Napoleon Bonaparte

I'll remember that one Theoden!

Indeed

And then, some more playing: warriors must also rest

#1628 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/20/2004 9:53:07 AM

Naughty, naughty!

#1629 by Veteran Terl - 1/20/2004 9:54:38 AM

Naughty, naughty!

But well within a true warriors character.

#1630 by Citizen Nastavnik - 1/20/2004 10:02:15 AM

Well, back to work now.
Thks for the laughs guys!

Yes, unfortunately work is calling me as well. I'll be back in an hour or so...

Hi all. Just checking in. To use a well-worn phrase, "I can't believe how much has happened. I've only been absent from the forum a few days".

.

Natavnik, when I play a huge or gigantic map, I find it much more fun to play rare and tight clusters. I used to play scattered, abundant in all my games but on a huge or gigantic that seems to take forever and is very tedious. Rare is great. You can win with 4 to 6 systems . . . if all goes well.

Glad those new medals arrived but unless they backtrack, we may never see Ray with a previous number one medal, which kind of makes a joke out of some of the new medals for me. I am pretty sure Ray has still held the number one ranking longer than even Cotal/Ginata. Oh well, better late than never I reckon, so thanks for the new medals stardock. Have a great day. I need to fire up a new gig maso soon to give FotR some points for me to stay in the top ten.

Thks for the tip Ricbayer. Maybe I'll go with rare.

But first I have to let my eyes rest: after 8 hours staring at the computer screen at work, my eyes need a break. Something like taking them out and putting them in a glass of cold water. Right now even the brightness of the screen blinds me.

Best hopes for you all, still at work. It should soon be over

A long day at work is soon coming to an end...20 minutes to go

I am sick of building databases and running reports today.... Time to go home and disrupt the lives of billions of Altarians...

#1636 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/20/2004 3:53:40 PM

40 minutes left here...and I think I'm going to get a little time to turn Yor into scrap metal tonight!

#1637 by Citizen JaxomCA - 1/20/2004 4:05:32 PM

I need to fire up a new gig maso soon

No, no , no Ric, no need to rush into things. Relax. Take a deep breath. Take your wife out for dinner, rent a movie, play with your kids, watch them grow, go to college, get married and have children of their own so you can play with them.

Listen to your instinct Ric, you know it's the right thing to do.

#1638 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/20/2004 4:06:51 PM

Is that fear I smell?

#1639 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/20/2004 5:04:09 PM

Another great review, Theoden! I look forward to your weekly reports and appreciate all your hard work.

#1641 by Citizen Greldon - 1/20/2004 5:42:20 PM

40 minutes left here...and I think I'm going to get a little time to turn Yor into scrap metal tonight!

50 minutes left here ... and I'm just going to kick everybody's butt tonight! All the Majors are still in it, but I've nearly completed assembling my invasion force. I'll be ready to pick a fight in about a year!

#1642 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 1/20/2004 8:54:38 PM

Ray looks enviously at Jaxom's nice black medal.

#1643 by Citizen Jaws the Wayfarer - 1/20/2004 9:00:45 PM

I can't see how you are just down at Crippling Ray..

I checked Kasual Kids statbot to see how some of us in the SF rated by his calcs.. and then I thought I'd have a look at yours.

Killa is rated at 9.56 difficulty and you are 9.39 (I hope I remembered these right) that doesn't seem like much difference. It wouidl be interesting to know what the bands are and how they are calculated.

my difficulty level is a paltry 8.67

#1644 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 1/20/2004 11:11:00 PM

Maybe Maso is at 9.5, Jaws?

Crippling at 9.0. Painful at 8.5. Guessing.

#1645 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/20/2004 11:29:05 PM

Well, pooh. That's a downer. I just finished another Small/Maso and submitted it. Nothing out of the ordinary. I go to check my standing in the Metaverse and the game isn't showing up.

Tried resubmitting. No luck. So, I've emailed the save game to Cari. Hmmm...that's weird. I've got a Painful shield now, instead of that Challenging one. Weird.

Well, it's late here and I'm really tired. See you guys in the morning! Hopefully Cari will have good news for me tomorrow.

#1646 by Citizen Jaws the Wayfarer - 1/20/2004 11:36:58 PM

I'm not sure how they work it.. Mr. Furious f.k.a Jeff de Silva is showing 9.43 on the statbot but only Painful on his shield..

I'm sure your guess woudl be better than mine... There's a task for you Ray, trying to work out the formula for the calc's

#1647 by Citizen Jaws the Wayfarer - 1/20/2004 11:39:45 PM

Welcome to the Brethren of the Painful Theoden.. and by the way its about 30 degrees c and Sunny in Sydney at the moment.

No need to ask Ray what it is in Singapore it will always be about 32 degrees and Hazy, unless there are storms in the area.. Then its 32 degrees and stormy.

#1648 by Citizen JaxomCA - 1/20/2004 11:55:06 PM

Ray, I was rated 9.58 by statbot and got a painful shield initially. I submitted another game and promoted to crippling. On my last submission, I noticed I now had the black shield, so maybe it is just a matter of submitting a couple of games to get your black shield.

#1649 by Citizen Mr Furious4504 - 1/20/2004 11:59:44 PM

weird. me and jaws both have beginner games in our record - and in the middle rather than at the start. mine was when i was testing ebz's guide. so maybe that skews it downward or something.
