Announcing a new game with a unique game type

First the settings

ACC BBS On
Public player Scores at year 70
Tech Normal
Distance Farthest
Galaxy Huge Packed
Universe will be reshaped

The universe will be reshaped to be the form of the Star Control Time Warp Universe. (Star Control: Time Warp universe is the SC2 universe plus an extension around the edge, Time Warp is a third party "clone" that some people should look into if they really liked star control) A copy of the map is available here:

This is with constellation markings added, when generating the map, constellation lines and text will of course be removed.

Game Rules

The game will be a Stars! recreation of the heated war featured in the game Star Control. Of course things could turn out much differently.

Players Will be split into two teams, The Hierarchy and The Alliance of Free Stars. Player numbers will be randomized, Odd players Hierarchy, even players Alliance. It is suggested that all those playing have an IM and be able to communicate with their teammates.

The goal will to be for one side to conquer the other's races. To conquer a race, one side must maintain orbital superiority over another race's homeworld for 3 years. If, after 3 years, the player cannot repel the aggressors in orbit, they have one of two options, they can bow out and leave the game, or they can become battle thralls for the conquering race, and switch sides.

A race can only switch sides twice, on the third time they will be forced to leave the game. This means that you can try to liberate a fallen comrade, however if after liberation they are reconquered, the conquering side will not be as tolerant and eradication will be enforced.

If you do not want a race to become a battle thrall, you can, of course, not give them either option and just eradicate their whole race, but I would like the battle thrall system to put a bit of a twist to the team game.

Winning Conditions
Either, the first team to control 75% of the worlds
or
More than 2/3 of the opposing team votes to surrender

Note to IT and PP, because the universe will be reshaped, your second world could be anywhere from right next door to several thousand Ly away, so realize the fact you may not have the advantage of two close together worlds.

The host will be playing, so please pw your race files when you send them to Okram2k@mail.mc.maricopa.edu

Any questions?

PS: you don't have to use SC race names, if you want to you are welcome to of course, and role playing is always welcome.
