3% HE!!! I like IT myself, but I know a 4% HE is perfectly playable in larger universes, and 50% easier to get moving than a 3% HE. Might I reemind you of the MDI game.

Sure, you can remind me of the MDI game if you wish. I was the 3% HE player (who were you?), and eventually conceded to the 4% HE player. But that does not prove to me that the 4% HE is better. Personally, I feel that the victory shared by the 4% HE had quite a bit to do with allying with the #1 player (an HG JOAT) very early in the game before anyone else had considered allying, and together took out two AR's who were unallied with anyone, not ready to fight, and occupying lots of space. He was able to capitalize big time on the alliance, but I personally think my race was performing stronger on it's own volition. In that particular game, both HE's did okay. But (IMO) that's ONLY because the game was stocked with 4 AR players, 2 LG-HE's, and a single HG JOAT, who was far enough from me in the initial positioning that I was not threatened early, and who was also willing to ally early with the other HE instead of running over him. And make no mistake, it was clearly the JOAT in the superior position when they allied - He could have destroyed the HE early instead, if he'd been inclined to. Three AR's were early victims struck down before they had a chance to become a threat to anyone, obviously. The game was full of late-bloomer races, so the HE's survived to come to full fruition. I think MDI was a genuine anomaly in regard to the races participating, given the parameters, and not likely to be oft repeated. In a more typical situation the game would have been dominated with -f's and HG's, and the HE's would have died early or at least been suffocated for lack of expansion space and unable to fight for more. It would have been far different if all of those AR's had all been HG JOATS.

I hope if the participant victors of MDI are reading this that they do not interpret anything I have said ...
