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 | ||

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]) | ||

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 You'd be first if you would use your moves =). | ||

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  . | ||

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. 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. | ||
