Don't get me wrong - while I do enjoy good EoR games, I'd just as much love to have a real equal as a pilot - it may be cliche to say it, but it gets dull, constantly owning again, and again, and again. It's lonely at the top.
As for why I only play EoR, I don't enjoy 'traditional' alleg - and I seriously question Noir's design decisions, as well.

Ahem....getting back on track
Game Summary:
Yellow: Clay (Bios "Sup") vs Blue: Denga (Giga "Exp")
Map/Settings: HiHi/1.0/1.15/Equal
Bios goes op goes 2 with Giga op 10. Bios op plants as 2nd teleport goes to 7. Giga op plants hi, but it gunned down by persistent figs with plasma. Meanwhile, tele escort plant tele and goes off to kill miners in 12. We kill miners pretty well until Giga gets hvy ints up.
Speaking of which. Giga gets Exp in 9 and gets ints up pretty quickly. Giga gets an op in 4 and sends a 2nd tele back to 10. I rip an op to 7 to backdoor 12, also send a tele to 10 and build a sup on a luscious rock in 1. Op dies to ints (after it plants but before it is enveloped). Both teles plant in 10. Sup up. I believe we rack up a couple more miner kills. Denga also gets a tele in 11 at some point.
As Bios cooks, we squabble over 10 for a while, and over my miners who are mining 2 and 3. We lose 10, and there is a period of skirmishing over miners, probing, deprobing, etc. I do plant an op in 7 and sneak a 2nd op in 12. Denga gets Carbon mines up, and builds a home sup at some point.
Once we get torps up, we clear 10 and claim it with tele and op. Denga's Exp was very vulnerable to 10. It must have made him nervous, because as we pondered clearing/claiming his tele in 11, he built a 2nd exp in 11.
While we wait for tp2, we also do raids on his specmines, killing them as we saw them. We try tp2ing a few times, with no real luck. We keep trying to tp2, but hvy ints are just too fast, and bombers too slow. Seeing that sup wasn't going to wrap up the game, I buy an exp and put it in 5. I also sneak an op in 12 and we clear his midlow op.
We keep trying to tp2. No luck. As exp cooks, I put off buying srm emp for htt, because I figured they would try to htt us and we'll steal it. We continue skirmishing, tp2ing, bombing, etc. Exp is cooking. Denga tries pushing an adv garr con to 2, but it died before planting (and believe me, I was shouting from my pod for GreenHawk to close the deal). Htts finish....no srm emp...no htts sighted. Gah! I invest.
10 minutes later, EMPs finally come up, and we try capping his exp from 10. It is a beautiful cap. Unfortunately, caltrops and ints boosting in and dropping pp in 10 at random intervals didn't help. We try capping from 10 a few times with no success. I see Denga spamming He mines.
Great. I start work on a tac go to 6.
We keep trying to tp2, and on a multi sector push, Firestorm caps blue's home. Sweet. We promptly clear out his home of sup and he mines. Tac is cooking, SBS come up. Life is good.
Drunk with joy (and liquor), we lose cohesion for a while. Giga hvy ints whore in their old home while my team is slow to respond. Fire is eager to keep capping. He can't launch.
About losing the garr....someone must have written Denga a check, because he got a 2nd garr up really fast in 11. Even worse, he pushes a sup to 2. It plants, and they claim 2. Giga is fighting back.
After some waiting, Fire launches in 8 and finally captures the high exp (from the hard side smile.gif ). I decide to seal off Giga by spamming tech cons. I fill 10 with tech bases, also sending an exp to 3, followed by a tac to 3.
Unfortunately, tac was near 2's aleph, and Giga chose a @!#$! great time to start htting. I see a Giga htt camping next to the spawn field. I wait for the tac to build, launch, and end up launching from the exp, 5k from the tac. I can only watch as he caps it, and then die bitterly to autocannon fire. 1k from the green door. In a panic, the int that launched (also from wrong base) boosted past me instead of pushing. I am sad.
Then they come back to cap their old home. After a lengthy cap-recap exchange, i launch in a bomber and blow the garr and put an op/tele in there.
Meanwhile, Giga sets up on the middle exp, and exercising some kind of reality distortion field, caps our middle exp with a sliver of hull left.
suck
We keep fighting though. Fire does manage to solo (? .. !) the middle tac they captured, depriving Giga of sbs. A swarm of sbs also kill the middle exp. Things are getting better.
Then, in what can only be explained as a total catastrofu$#, mdvalley (or mcwarren, I only saw the 'm through my tears) walks across 1 (our sup sector) and captures our garrison.
I soil myself.

Our tac dies. Their exp dies. As we start arguing over how to finish the game, I see an adv exp con pop out of Denga's garr.
I soil myself again.
The only remaining exp rocks are in 12, 4, and 6. Appearances would suggest that Denga has no way of walking that con safely to a rock. We have most of the map and firm control of 2/3 of the rocks. I am convinced, however, that Denga spent the last 2 hours positioning clandestine teleports all over the map, and any minute will rip in the con with Kart's lux int (god mode enabled). I claim the u rock in 6 almost immediately, and finish off the other two. A swarm of sbs kill our old home. We finally agree on an op con/sbs push on his garr, and it works...2 hours and 50 minutes later.
I have to pee and my cat is hungry.

Clay, that made me laugh hard. Hi, I'm mcw, and I made Clay soil himself... /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
I should add, an htt run is only as good as its support. On all of the runs except the lucky one on the tac my nans made it happen.

Hah jess, I actually thought about putting "I'm mcw, and I approve this message" at the bottom of my post.
