3 of the top 4 are TL!
the TL people list is in the OP (you can mouseover an icon to see whose it is), but you can also look for starcraft icons - chances are, they'll be TL.

the current game will be over soon, but the basic game goes like this:
depending on how many squares you have on the board, you get new squares every hour that you can place (at xx:19)
1 if you have 0 sq on board
2 if you have 1
3 if you have 41
4 if you have 81
etc.

also, random squares (afaik) become neutral/white at random times (at least i think it's random. iirc someone said xx:49 but that doesn't seem right)

every time you place a square, depending on how many of your own squares you have around it, enemy squares either turn white/neutral or your color.

more details @ http://www.mmosbg.com/game.php

Basic stratagy:
1) early game place them in a big block (square/rectangles), expand the block as you get more moves. Filling in holes in the block will be your first priority through out the game.
2) Mid-late game you will want to use the "tax" to take holes opened in others large blocks to damage others.
3) Never stop expanding your block even if that shifts to a secondary priority.
4) You will figure out the rest.

Timings
New moves: 20 past the hour (at least on my computers clocks)
Tax: Unknown I would predict 50 past (theoretically this is the best time to spend your moves. [Immediately after the tax not 50])

End game it is good to take tax holes in areas populated by a lot of DIFFERENT players, because the probability of expansion is better than if it is just one guy.

Edit: At least it seems to work for me.

This game I had a pretty good start, building a block off-middle and away from the walls and trying to keep filling in tax holes. But towards mid game, it's key to save up some blocks and take up tax holes in other territorities because they're insulated, and if somebody attacks your expansion they'll hurt other players too. My main block got half-eaten by splatter/h3ri/Knutt, but I'm still in game with expos.

btw is TL- markoman604 someone from here, or somebody taking up the name so they don't get attacked? ;o

How could you. And obviously, we Starcraft players have the mechanics to quickly click those squares ^_^.

The best start imho is to put two squares randomly in to earn that 1 more interest, until you have about 40 (can collect 48 at max or 150% of your squares), and then devour a player to get above 40 fast. After that I dont really now, I guess building your blob is better at first than randomly attacking in the tax holes at first. If you build a tax hole in a players blob he early he will take those back sooner or later. If its late in the game, building randomly works just as good probably, because everyone is all over the place anyway .

Hopefully not. I started taking his squares and he hasn't posted. Would be nice to update the list though if it has changed.

h3r1n6 sorry about when I attacked you, you were my main competition for 1st other than Syxygy (congratulations on placing 1st).

I did play the end game totally wrong I should have saved up for a few hours instead of going every time I had moves.

Also, I started near wswordsmen because I figured it was a good idea. Should I move somewhere else instead? I only have a lone optimus there to get extra moves.

The game ends when the board is full, so when you see the board at about 90% completion you can figure it'll end in several hours. But there's no hard time limit to when the game ends.

Bottom right corner is probably the best starting spot. Anywhere near top left will get you raaaaped.

Why feel sorry? That is the game. You don't say sorry everytime you kill a unit in sc.


Havin exams this week is just perfect for this game. You just log on every hour to get a short break and put your moves . I'm at home all the time anyway.
