16 Dec 11 UTC	Spring, 1901: Good luck. I saw your 5 minute game yesterday that expired. I couldn't commit to 5 minute turns, but I can usually move fast, in between doing other things. 12 hours will work great.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: sweet. you look experienced on this site. i am just starting. i have only played the Ancient Med, World and Classic maps. if you could give me helpful pointers if you see me make mistakes, please do so.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Spring, 1902: I will wait till I see that my advice won't be used against me... :) ... but sure.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: I love this variant. It has more strategy than the other 1v1 variants. You picked a very common opening strategy, to get 3 SC's right off the bat. I like giving up one SC on the first turn because this turn I will get 3 and you will get 1. I will also get to build them after I know the direction you are headed.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: good thinking. ;)
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: i also see how it makes sense to push forward and worry about the SCs behind you later. that was silly.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Yeah, on a 1v1 game, the strategy is a little different. You have to push at the opponent. On multi-player games, sometimes you just need to back off and let the other players attack your enemy first.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1903: man, we can play this out, but i am at serious disadvantage. :)
16 Dec 11 UTC	Spring, 1904: Yeah, I think I have this one. Next time you play a 1v1, go after the other player. If you can keep him from getting a SC, it's the same as if you both got one. If he backs up, like you did in this game, you both get a build, but you get the better position.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: yeah, plus i just f*cked up and didn't move two ofmy units and hit ready. dumb.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: is there a restart or cancel option?
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: or do you want to play it out to get the solo? i am cool either way.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: you earned it. ;)
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: Wouldnt mind finishing it out.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: ok.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: it will be quick. ;)
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1904: 1 v 1 is a very different beast.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1905: Very different, but I think this variant is closest to regular.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1906: i tried the Civil War one and that was odd. starting next to each other is a strange way to play.
16 Dec 11 UTC	Autumn, 1907: I never played civil war. I have only played the classic map 1v1 games and lepanto.
