Had a last minute invite - if my race is in time, I'm in - if not - enjoy.
Oh, since I'm not ranked, I should probably put myself in as "Low Intemediate" of the 2 choices - returning oldbie - way old - skills (did I have any) will be way rusty

Yeah, I should have made the map Large As it is though, everyone should get around 49 planets on average. Or 38.6, if you count the AI's.
Everyone's turned in except Martin and craebild. craebild said he sent his file in though, so I'm not sure what's up. Beginning soon though . . .

With this many people you're still putting AIs in? Those HE and PP AIs can get seriously annoying in the early game, I think ten people is good for this universe size, anybody else agree, or have a comment on this?

Hmm . . . well, I said at the very beginning that if half the players vote for it, we can take the AI's out. At this point I'm just waiting on Micha. Once he comes online and sends me the files I'll generate. In the meantime though, sure, we can have a vote. If at least half the people playing (5) don't want the AI's, we won't have any
There will only be four though, so I figure they'll probably get overwhelmed pretty early. Just take out their bases And, consider that there are six different races they could be. Chances are pretty good there won't be any PP or HE AI's . . . AR's can be nasty too though.
There probably won't be much time for voting, but I'll put it up anyway.
EDIT: I'm going to work in about an hour and will be gone for four hours, so it might be five or more hours before I generate.

Hi everyone,
So, good news: everyone got their files turned in, and I sent the game to Ron. Now all we need to do is wait until he's gotten everything set up.
Reminders
1. If you change your password at some point, make sure you tell Micha what you changed it to.
2. Please also send Micha your .h file every five years. This is your history file and any replacement player will need it.
3. If you do drop out for any reason, please try to get a replacement in The Bar. Just start a thread and ask if anyone would like to take over for you.
4. Kwik and Crappicus: I can't seem to find ranks for either of you. It's not urgent, but please try to get your ranks to me so I can send Donjon the information. I have the ranks for everyone else.
Last Minute AI Poll Results
Now, when I generated the game I checked the poll for AI's and it was 3 against 1 for (yes, I voted for). The poll didn't get the full 5 players needed to ban AI's, BUT, it seemed the poll was probably going that. So, I settled on two AI's, random/random. I doubt they'll be much trouble except really early--if anything, once they're gone they'll leave a nice vacuum for other players. Everyone remember though: diplomacy won't help at all with players 11 and 12. If you see them, go ahead and kill them.
Parameters
Here are the game parameters again:
Universe: Medium/Packed.
Player Positions: Distant.
Options: Public player scores, ABBS, galaxy clumping checked; no others checked.
Victory: “Owns 65% of planets” and “At least 80 years must pass before a winner is declared” are the only victory conditions set in game. Anyone who can do that is the winner, but otherwise, any unopposed alliance or single player can win the game after 2480.
Private Forum
And finally, here's the Private Forum for Hardheads once this thread is locked. I'll provide everyone with the password shortly.
Time to go out and have a great game!
