I read the further details on your web site and it states on there that it's a tournament game with the following excerps:

Quote:

Players : 13 Best players from the previous game

Quote:

All games will run in succession; the first 30 turns will be set to 24 hour spacing for each game, the next 50 turns will be set to 48 hour spacing, however the last 15 turns of a round will also have the first 30 turns of the next round simultaneously. This is to ensure that the tournament can be successfully completed within a year.

So my question is: if the first game has not yet been completed (due to having a 15 year overlap), then how will you know whom the best 13 players are for the next game ?

Quote:

I think I'll give each player a new name each game. If anybody's got a few nice names I could put into the "Race Name Hat".

How about:-
Cats: Lion, tiger, jaguar, puma, house cat, lynx, caracal, ocelot, panther, mountain lion, leopard, cheetah, cougar, bobcat.

Colours: Red, yellow, green , blue, orange, gray, black, white, brown, amber, teal, purple, violet, lemon, ivory, beige, pink, scarlett, maroon, salmon, lilac.

You could also do:
Greek/Egyptian/Roman/Indian Gods,

Countries of the world:

Ancients peoples: Huns, Hittites, Romans, Nubians, Greeks,
Mongols, Gauls, Visigoths, Scots, Saxons, Vikings, Aztecs, Mayan, Incan, Zulu, etc.

Insects: flea, tick, mantis, fly, cicada, locust, wasp, beetle, ant, moth, butterfly, cricket, cockroach, aphid, etc.,

Computers/companies: IBM, Apple, Microsoft, Compac, Macintosh, Sun, Digital, Lotus, Amiga, Hewlett Packard, Nintendo, etc.
Actually that's not a bad one. That way everyone could gang up on Microsoft and kick their A#$@ like they deserve !

Heroes/felons: Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolph Hitler, William Wallace, Robin Hood, Ghenghis Khan, Ned Kelly, Jesse James, William Tell, Joan of Arc, Attila the Hun, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, etc.

Superheroes/famous persons: Superman, Spiderman, Hulk, Dick Tracey, James Bond, Batman, etc.

Natural forces: Tidal wave, earthquake, gravity, lightning, thunder, hurricane, avalanche, whirlpool, waterfall, magnetism, monsoon, tsunami, tornado, etc.

How about something more controversial like religion:
Christian, Muslim, Judaist, Devil Worshipper, Infidel, Agnostic, Atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, Pagan, Sikh, Spiritualist, Hari Krisna, etc.

Dieases: Malaria, chicken pox, scarlett fever, typhoid, denghi fever, measles, botox, elephantisis, smallpox, mumps, ringworm, yellow fever, typhus, cholera, anthrax, rubella, Mondayitis

Well, sorry Crusader, but I'm going to have to ruin it for you then. I was worried about time, but I once again have too much of it , so I think I'll join in. My race is e-mailed to you (in a few minutes)!

Please note that tutorial is outdated. If you will be following its hints you risk to be torn to shreds very soon. I'd suggest you to read articles (and do some testbeds) on economy on StarsFAQ (www.starsfaq.com) site before entering any beginner PBEM game. Beginners of today aren't like beginners used to be.
BR, Iztok

ABSOLUTELY! The best way to learn is by failing.

Yeah, I know, it sounds wierd when put into words. I hate losing. I'm sure that blackrose does too. But get into the crucible and get slammed, banged, burned and blasted and I guarantee that there will be "some" learning going on.

I like his spirit!

Of course, I was never that brave ...

I lurked on the NG for months, then I started asking questions. You know. Those newbie questions that absolutely eat up the NG bandwidth. This, of course, introduced me to the concept of the "troll" *sigh* But eventually I wised up (?) and settled in to actually playing the game, where I then learned to over-analyze my game , thus sucking all the fun right out of Stars! due to my (then) one-eyed view of the Stars! universe. But then I had a wonderful idea . I would simply play to have fun!

And, yet, I find that I have the most fun when winning. Winning causes me to learn less and become overconfident , leaving me vulnerable to losing.

So, if'n your ego can take a bashing and still float, then I recommend that you by all means play! Just remember though ... we will be watching you!

Your (mostly) unworthy adversary,
The Crusader
