Devs, A Challenge!

from Sins Forums
I wanted to see if there are any devs willing to take up a challenge (of which I will obviously lose, nonetheless). I've recently been seeing a lot of good players around, despite this I still have not found an extreme challenge in any battles, the best I've come around is multi and, while its been a while since our previous battle, I'm quite certain I'm either close to, or on par with him. so generally:

I want a challenge! any devs willing to take up the mantle? I'm interested in either a 1v1 or 2v2 or possibly FFA game of 3 players (other forms of battle start to lose the importance of individual strategies) on either a small random or medium random map. I've been actively seeking out devs on SDC, but its so far been rebuke after rebuke. so if any devs want to play me, just post here. if it comes down to a 2v2 we can play dev and dev V me and someone else.

note: this also would be a great place for other people to challenge devs to, that is unless they consider themselves "too good" for us   

times would be appreciated, as stands its best for me either late on any given weekday, or any time friday/saturday.

Not so much a matter of being too good as too busy.

ok I made the wrong impression: the reason I made this post was because I was aware that it was mostly schedualing conflicts, and that impromptu "play with me!" begging wasnt going to work. its here so that we can collaborate on deciding a time that we can both play without interruption.

I'd jump in a game with some Stardock/Ironclad folks in a second If I get my butt handed to me, at least it would be in style!

I already destroyed multi () but I promise I'll take on anybody worthy of a challenge once I have some free time.

name a time and place, master

I've already absorbed most of Multi's strategem, we'll see what I can take from you  
think you can handle it?

but don't cut their skulls open to get those skills, will you, ya hero? we still need them.

second the replay idea. it will take quite some more time, before I dare something like that myself. in the meantime its learning time.

Alas, I suspect it will be a while before Blair has time and finds another to go up with Schod and I

"and I"? I'll happily go in a 2v1 after I lose to him in a 1v1!

but you're right, will be ages before blair has time.

Was not asking for a 2v1

yeah, we discussed this.

again, I would probably need your help, but I want to see his offensive strategies first.

and then you would post it for all of us to see, right....?

For god sake don't distract them from finishing the game, play em after they've released patch 1.1
Reply #19 from Sins Forums Top
you think one game is going to distract them? chances are it will get them to release a better patch!


speaking of which: BLAIR!!! official challenge is what it is now, I'm challenging you on your turf. come and get me

note: I'm only free this week at around midday saturday and sunday EST, otherwise I have schedualing conflicts.

Blair seriously, I would much appreciate a match. and even if you are unwilling to bow to my level, would you send another experienced dev who would? I have difficulty finding multi to play against, odd time zones and somesuch.

you can always justify it as research :P

I will play you as soon as I have free time to play (probably once Sins goes gold) :)

I predict great sarrow and much butt kicking in the next 30-45 day future.

From experience, let me assure you Schod is a very skilled player. Far more so than I'd have given him credit for :D

Oh I know he is, I've played a few games with him. Still, if blair beat multi, i doubt schem will stand much of a chance.
