You Rule! game 1 results From: llucky@crl.com (Bob Thomson) Date: Mon, 25 Jul 1994 02:44:32 +0000 Games one and two of You Rule! were playtest games that were filled by posting to the rec.games.pbm newsgroup. Game two has been over for a while - here is the recap of game one. Game One is Over! Bowing to the inevitable, Borderlords and Galactose have surrendered to the combined might of Antares, Chin_Na and FoolBoy. Congratulations to Tim Arheit, John LeLange and Robert Myhre. Special congratulations to Petri Heiramo, the original Antares. Despite missing the first and fourth turns, he built his position into a major power before losing net access for the summer. Condolences to David Ondzes and Pat Truman who put up a valiant fight until turn 34. We set up game one with ten players on the map, which made for rather a tight fit. Several players dropped out early. By mid- game, we were down to six active players. In the north Galactose had the largest empire, but his position suffered from over-long loyalty to two nearly inactive allies. In the south Arioch played extremely well, defending his position for many turns against the combined might of Antares, Chin_Na and FoolBoy. The sixth player was David Ondzes, coming in as a standby for the long-inactive Borderlords. The endgame began with the orderly transition of the Antares position from Petri Heiramo to John LeLange. After defeating Arioch, the three winners began their steady march north against Galactose and Borderlords (who had built his position up to five or six provinces with some help from Galactose). This was when we realized that we needed a limit on the number of characters. The players had much gold from their powerful positions and trained so many characters that their printouts became cluttered and they were writing hundreds of orders per turn. Antares alone trained over 130 characters on one turn! Finally, the combined might of the big three southern powers proved too much for the two in the north. Congratulations to Tim Arheit, Petri Heiramo, John LeLange and Robert Myhre.
