If you need a tie breaker, I will join with a vote for no communications as stated in the op. I can have a race submitted in 72 hours.
edit: Ready to go. sending race file now
edit: edit: Here is an easy fix for the dispute. All players for comms may use comms, all players against comms may not. Those players that wish to communicate must declare (to all players) via in game message at 2400. Non comms players will know who to target first without using communication or messing about with diplomacy. I think that would be fascinating. A little test of the berserker hypothesis, if you will.

I'm just checking in after quite some time.. (Thanks for the pm Skoormit).
From what I'm seeing there is a more .. definitive tilt towards no-comm. (Kicks would not be comfortable with comms).
I feel that a fuller game would be more livelier.
So for the 3 ppl who want comms, (Asmodai, fpunderl33t, XAPBob) would you still be interested if it's a no-comms game?
or, as Skoormit suggested, we just wait for 2 games to fill up to 6 players each.
If everyone can please pm me their email ids with their forum names and race files...
or mail me on "nomoreidsleft at gmail dttt com"
My pet peeve in a no-comms game is the fear that someone might be breaking the rules (point 1) or there is a monster feeding on a noob on the other side of the universe, while I'm fighting against well matched players on my side of the universe (point 2).
Point 1 > I would prefer to keep player names anonymous along with randomising race names.
Point 2 > I announce the top 4 players (hiding the weakest 4) every 25 years?
ps - Please don't have any passwords on the game files as checking on turns becomes a massive pain irrespective of some nifty suggestions that Neil gave me for an earlier game.

XAPBob wrote on Thu, 09 January 2014 12:21Question, does the F10 report show when *other* races have broken VCs? I assime not... (obviously only relevant before the VCs are enabled)
IIRC, yes, the F10 report shows check marks as other races achieve VCs. People have used this feature to define a type of limited Public Player Scores, wherein the PPS checkbox is unchecked, but VCs are defined in such a way as to reveal certain benchmarks as races achieve them. For example, a VC of "Has 1 Capital Ship" might tell you who just built the first BB.
In this game, however, as currently configured, the question is moot. As soon as one race gets one VC, that race is declared the victor.

YoungBlood wrote on Fri, 10 January 2014 18:07Pretty new to the forums and wondering whether you guys are still looking for more players?
Always looking for players. If you are interested in this particular game, just say the word and I'll put you on the list. If not this particular game, keep watching the threads. I'm sure another new-player-friendly game will start up soon.

Should we set a deadline for all the races to come in?
Say either the 19th or the 26th?
The email id for all the races is nomoreidsleft at gmail dttttttt com
