LK100 - Finally ready for regent, Persia, OPEN succession game

[LKendter]

Remember 10 turns per round - STRICT 24 hours got it, total 48 to complete.

Repeat player restriction: You may NOT play a second round unless:
1) At least 2 different players in front of you AND
2) The game has been IDLE for over 48 hours.
My goal is to let a ton of people play in this milestone game.


Special Restrictions:
We may NEVER leave the ancient ages. ONE AA tech must be left unresearched so that we **DON'T** get our free tech.
** The game will be terminated and closed if the above rule is violated - period. No replay, and no second chance.
The game MUST be won by domination.

Got it!

Only my second SG after SGOTM6-Xteam; I'm honored to have a hand in this. I'll probably only play 5 turns like the last two players to give others a chance. I'm no war-monger, but this looks like something I can handle (as the hard work's been done already )

Sanity check: don't acquire mapmaking. Do aquire land.

 

[WillowBrook]

I'm sooooo sorry, I have to

UN-GOT IT!

My computer started crashing repeatedly, I've spent the last 4 hours trying to get it running again (we'll see if it's fixed ), and I no longer have time to play for the next few days (that 4 hours was supposed to be spent playing civ )

 

[Kylearan]

Got it.

Long time since I've played in a succession game. Too bad I saw this too late, when now only the mop-up is left to do...

After ONE HUNDRED of LK games, we're still running around with some regular units. Oh, the irony...

Several cities are set on governor control? Hrmpf, even if this is the mop-up phase of an easy game, I switch them off.

Lagash is building a marketplace we don't need, so I switch it to settler. Umma is switched from market to courthouse.

I cash-rush two immortals on the Hittie front.

560AD (1): Cash rush two immortals, position units to attack.

570AD (2): We take Hattusas, losing a spear. (Yes, had to attack a redlined pike twice with a spear to capture the city...). We now control the Hanging Gardens. Capture Ugarit, again with a spear.
On the northern front, we take Atzcapotzalco and Umtata.
Cash rush support for the north-western front.

580AD (3): Continuing the fine tradition of Being One Unit Short, another one of Kylearan's Fierce Offensive Spears takes Adana.

590AD (4): Ignoring several Zulu archers in the open around the city, we attack and take Mpondo. Bad luck prevents us from taking Tlacopan this turn. Ivriz is autorazed.

(IBT) I had planned to declare war on Mongolia next turn. Temujin beats me.

600AD (5): Our AC army single-handedly takes Hlobane. Hattusha falls, as does Tlacopan.

I ponder about giving back the game to LKendter for him to finish his 100th game - but then I realize we are just *one* turn short of domination, so I decide I can't resist the temptation and complete the game myself.

610AD (6): Umfolozi and Kadesh are captured, and Aleppo is autorazed. Bunyan is founded.

Thanks to LK for an impressive ONE HUNDRED succession games! A lot of interesting, surprising and challenging games were among them, always a pleasure to read.

Very enjoyable game. Congrats LK on this achievement.

Perhaps a retry on Monarch?

 

[Arathorn]

Congrats, Lee. 100 games, period, is an accomplishment. Running/organizing/planning 100 is even moreso. Thanks for all the great reads. And I hope there are more to come.

[ThERat]

congratulations LK. though styles might differ, I have always been appreciative of your honest comments. A lot of games were great to lurk and follow. Keep it up!

 

[Whomp]

Lee,
Thanks for letting me participate in a LK series game. The honor was mine to run with some the most outstanding players this game has.

As Ernie Banks would say "Let's play two!"

 

[General Mayhem]

Thanks for the opportunity to play in an LK game. Maybe someday I'll eventually get good enough to play in one at a higher level, but you'll probably be doing crazy Sid variants by then

 

[akots]

Just make sure it does not end at 100! Indeed an extreme achievement!

 

[Pentium]

More, more, more! We want more!!

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Thanks for the opportunity to play in an LK game. Maybe someday I'll eventually get good enough to play in one at a higher level, but you'll probably be doing crazy Sid variants by then

I fully agree with that. So I'm trying to improve my gameplay and be able to get in a non regent LK game.

Absolutely. Playing SGs takes a lot of time, but organizing takes much more. I already feel a bit bored after organizing 8 SGs, so I'm truly amazed by Lee's enthusiasm.

Lee is also among the first ones that brought RaR into SG community (other than the mod makers) and gained it much more populatiry.

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

I mirror the congratulations of my fellow players. The LK series has been an inspiration to many SGers. The LK series games I've been a part of have been among my fondest SG memories. I still remember being nervous when I signed up for my first one....I was deathly afraid that I would screw up a game in this prestigious series

Bring on another 100

Well I am glad that Mod showed up, as I was running out of ideas. OTOH, there is enough fun left in RaR to last to November.

Bring on another 100

Well you better hope Civ4 is good...

 

[Sandman2003]

Great achievement - 100 games, congrats on your milestone, and thanks for all the great reads.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

the idiot lurkers thank you for your efforts.

 

[Aggie]

Thank you Lee for 100 great games!! You inspired me and a lot of other players to play and organise SG's

 

[Bezhukov]

Never had more fun being ruled by an iron fist than with LK.



Good show Lee - here's to another hundred!
