Yeah I know, I'm not making an alliance with him.. Though, it doesn't mean I won't some time down the road.. Nor does it mean I won't negotiate with anyone else... But I KNOW I won't if he's not in the game.. That's all. heh... He's still free to make his own alliances in game. This is his first game, and he's... Um... Ultra green. So I thought a friendly hand would be advantagous to him. I don't know what race he has, nor anything about it, just that he's started working on one. Plus I remember last time I had a pregame alliance (before I knew anything about them) It managed to earn me rapid opposition and I'd really rather not get that. Well, at least rapid opposition from the intermediate players. Some others were much less instantly hostile. In short, "I've learned my lesson."
Also... I kinda like 8 in the game, 9 seems like we're pushing it but then again I've not tried it. I think the game I did way back when was 12 in medium dense. And it was still 400ly. Plus there's empty space anyway, there's probably some more room if no one complains. You said 9's your max on medium normal. Hmm... Maybe we should up the density. I'd suggest (to the players, not to Madman) that doing some tests with expert 8 and 9 AI's (to get a feel for the spacial constraints) might be a good way to judge things. (Oh and try to pretend that the AI's a player and will take unkindly to you killing his people when they take a planet ahead of you.) I dunno if that's the typical way to judge one's space constraints but I think it might give a decent sense of the whole thing.

I think it'd be fun to keep everyone in the same game instead of splitting into two different games. If it turns out that we have too many players, we should just adjust the universe size/density. I won't mind if the game is renamed to Octo I or Deca I or whatever.
I'm currently playing my first AH game ever, and it's 13 players in medium packed. I went into it thinking that this is waaaaay too crowded, but it's turning out to be not nearly as bad as I thought it'd be... so I think that 8 or 9 players in medium packed won't be that bad...

Just so everyone knows, I'm ready to go. My race's to a point I think I can be happy with and I'd like a ping back on everyone else's status.

You know what? Your right.. WHat the HECK! Let's pack it! LOL I've had 12 in a universe this size and they are (as I said) STILL the same distance apart. Besides I like the larger group, because it opens up trade relationships. Plus I'm just a softy, (as in, I can't go around splitting up what rare stars playing couples there out there.)
Oh well, 10 players in this universe it is. Anyone mind if I up the density? To Packed? That, or alter the size to large and normal...
Who wants to up the size and who wants to up density? Or both? Or Neither?
Anyone care about my goofy idea of alphabetizing sections of the map? "A" sector, "B" sector, etc... I don't mind... I've done harder starmap work.

Either Normal/Packed or Large/Normal would work for me; doesn't matter which of those two people decide on.

Yes you are, at least you have a race in. Go to:
http://starsautohost.org/sahforum/index.php?t=msg&th=283 6&start=60
for the list of races I have so far - eight so far, with two more players yet to send races.
And whoever else is playing, get your races to me (I prefer PM to email - it seems to be more reliable).
I've been giving quite detailed feedback on races, so I suppose I'll have to be consistent *sigh*.
