DIBS ON TOURVILLE!

(Sorry, Honor. But... priorities. I have them. Now if it was Allen Higgins in the sims...)

Somehow, I don't think Honor's going to be lacking in the cheerleader department.

There'll be an entire team of them on the sidelines using their limbs and jumping around just like regular cheerleaders and using their hands and arms to communicate, just like regular cheerleaders...

<Gimme an H-O-N-O-R. What do you got? HONOR!>

<Bleek bleek bleek>

Blame it on the a, a a a, a alcohol.

Now these old friends sitting around the fire has one more Tilman more than one more Tilman too many. Now Harkness, Shannon, Anton and Helen is claiming "top computer hacker" status and are going to each connect to a network and try to out hack the other.

Even Honor has sobered on this one.

The pot is huge and the chance to get rich hangs in the air. If you correctly bet your chips!

Oh boy. You be in trouble now. B I G trouble. House of Winton trouble. Friend of Thandi trouble.

You forgot Ruth.

I think Helen was inserted in Ruth's place. The younger Zilwicki has never shown any sort of interest in hacking.

Now, personally, my money is on the competition ending after they accidentally ferret out a copy of the North Hollow Files that no one but the original Earl knew about and accidentally dump it to the 'Net.

Tom is correct. I erroneously substituted Helen for Ruth.

Apologies.

Well of course, being the magnanimous soul that I am, I forgive you. And Ruth being a congenial soul, will prolly do likewise.

Just don't accept her offer to upgrade your 'puter for free afterwards...

[quote="cthia"]Remember street basketball with eveyone standing around and two people begin to pick sides? I know it's been a while, but a Vulcan places two fingers on your forehead and says "remember."

All officers are standing around in peace time talking about the good old days. Someone decides on a friendly game of five on five. Honor is chosen to be the referee because she is deemed to be too much of an advantage, and, well, they need a referee.

Five on five OpForce against OpForce. Can you choose two evenly matched sides? Consider all hardware to be HotQ tech. Same rules as five on five as far as alternating picks. For instance, OpForce one chooses Hamish Alexander as a first round pick. OpForce II counters with Thomas Theisman.

All officers are chosen from the currently breathing, RMN, RHN, Grayson or IAN pool. I'd like to get an idea on all of your ideas of overall officer strength.

Hardware on both sides is the same. This game will be won on the strengths of the officers. Albeit, the task is to choose two evenly matched teams.

Feel free to extend the teams beyond five as long as they're evenly matched.

OpForce I
1. Hamish Alexander
2. Lester Tourville
3. Alice Truman
4. Warner Caslet
5. Genevieve Chin

OpForce II
1. Thomas Theisman
2. Henke (is she an effective enough deterrent to Tourville?)
3. Alfredo Yu
4. Michael Oversteegen
5. Graf Von Sternhafen

Are these two OpForces evenly matched? It isn't as easy as it sounds.

I have to know:

How come nobody noticed the significance of the presence of Graf von Sternhafen in Op Force 2 - an Admiral of such towering stupidity that he almost provoked the war that his emperor was "determined to avoid?"

One between Honor Harrington and Lester Tourville would be even better.

------------------------

I would also like to see Alice Truman vs. Lester Tourville.

Both have experience with SD(p)'s and CLAC's AND their tactical employment.

I had forgotten about him ... Now I find myself wondering whether he would make a better admiral for a UV fleet than Bing.

Me too! I suppose I finally have a response regarding the balance of my OpForces. And a reason as to why one is sorely lacking!



Good eye!
