SCENE:  Interior Spacecraft Command Center

Lord Supreme Commander, SLIPPERY, stands on the command deck looking
    out into the cold blackness of space.  Three of his sub-commanders
    approach.

QUARTZ: Sir, it is done.

SOCCERS:  We have once again defeated the rebel Empire forces.

HANORIKS:  Their forces are weak and scattered and no longer pose us any
threat.

SLIPPERY turns to face his minions.  A still-healing scar is visible
    across his cheek.  As he walks towards the trio, he does so with a
    noticable limp and a pained expression on his face.

SLIPPERY:  Do not be so proud of our ability to put down another Empire
uprising.  Seven months ago we considered this little conflict to be
nothing more than a minor annoyance.  But the Epire destroyed my homeworld
and took my legs.  We must remain ever vigilant for I fear another
rebellion may be brewing and the scattered remnants of the Empire may once
again threaten our very existance.

SLIPPERY pauses for a moment and waves his hand.

SLIPPERY:  Dismissed.  Enjoy our victory while we can.  For tomorrow may
change everything.

Geek.NET is pleased to announce the conclusion of its first "team"
GalaxyNG game.  In the game, the forces of the former Soviet Union
defeated the players from "The Rest of the World" in a 58-turn rematch
of Tiger1.

Early in the game, Team "Rest of the World" (aka, The Empire) struck some
early blows, including the elimination of the "Alliance" Supreme
Commander, SLIPPERY.  This was further aided by their initial 32-to-25
player edge over the Alliance team.

However, SLIPPRY returned and lead his forces to a slow, methodical
elimination of Empire players, repeating the defeat from Tiger1.

The Empire has vowed revenge, and maybe the 3rd time is the charm.  Watch
this space, as always, for further information.

At the Geek.NET Galaxy Web Page, http://galaxy.geek.net, you will find the
final scores from the Tiger2 game as well as .zip archives of the mailing
lists for each team, which can make for interesting reading.

Thanks to all of the players in Tiger2.  Hope to see you all again soon.
