Since a gauntlet isn't really a guantlet without an individual challenge or two ...

... I hereby challenge the captains of both teams in the upcoming gauntlet - Team JBI (Mr. Clyne, that's you) and Team JSI (Mr. Mann, that's you) to an individual production race to run concurrent with the main gauntlet.

How about it, oh Fearless Leaders ... dare you rise to the challenge of a subgauntlet? Losers to owe the winner one pint of virtual ale each! :p

... all in good fun, of course!

It looks like a reasonably even match to me ... in fact, I think I'm the one that's going to need help, especially with that ex-Teaberry fellow adding even more firepower! ;)

mr_mann
03-28-2002, 09:05 PM

Good Luck Guys :)

May the best man win :)



My personal goal is to be in the top 7 producers for the Seti Gauntlet... I'll have to get my act together :)

mr_mann
03-29-2002, 10:41 PM
im going for the number one spot :D

Alpha_7
03-29-2002, 11:02 PM
Well I was trying to keep my goal a little realistic..

I know I can get in the top 3...

and I thought since I'm Alpha_7

seventh might be a good place to try..

I still have to overtake Bayanne by the 24th of may..
but maybe I can do it faster.... that date got a bit mucked up by me losing a few boxen :(

mr_mann

Alpha_7
03-30-2002, 04:15 PM

Update on the Mini Gauntlet, the Challenge of the Titans as it will now be know.


Dark Star 20 20 27 32 99

Richard 13 17 11 26 67

Mr Mann 19 16 17 16 68


Mr Mann and Richard are neck and neck with only 1 unit between them while a boost in production from Dark star has see him take a clear lead in the early part of the gauntlet.
Bear in him technical difficults and that there may be some stashing on mr mann behalf (:P) all and all its looking like it could be a close match, but at present the safe money is on DarkStar.

and the more challenge we make for you, the more machines you put on, to fight to surge...

so we all win :D coz I'm making you guys get more machines..

mr_mann
04-04-2002, 11:37 PM
you still better be afraid :D

Alpha_7
04-04-2002, 11:50 PM
Dont worry...
I'm afraid but I'm not under-estimating the opposition....thats why I'm afraid we might not get the machines to give chase..

but that doesn't mean I'm scared..

I'm confident we can do it... just not over confident.

My goal seems to be within reach, as I am coming 8th presently in production, so I may be able to grab that 7th spot, which was my personal goal for the gauntlet.

Who's winning the 3 way battle at present ?

Looks like Richard and mr mann have some catching up to do.

Good Luck Guys :thumbs:

I think DarkStar's production will be hard to beat. :notworthy

So it looks like a race for 2nd & 3rd place, and the finish line is fast approaching.

mr_mann
04-09-2002, 12:20 PM
im third :D always will be :(

I'm beginning to wonder if I have an anonymous benefactor out there somewhere crunching on my behalf <naaaah> ... maybe someone just turned on some boxes somewhere that I borged and forgot about. Of course, I'll take it, either way! :smoking:

Lucky you... I hope they keep crunching for u after the gauntlet too :thumbs:
