Last call for players. A new game with a different twist. If interested in playing let me know.
"Random Plagues" Not for the feint of heart.
Every 5 years a random plague/malfunction will be applied across the galaxy. One of the following will be enforced at random for a 5 year period.
All research must be set to zero.
All freight movement banned, any freight in space is jettisoned.
All warship movement banned, any ship in space must be destroyed if still in space after 2nd year of plague.
All trading banned, any trade ships must be destroyed.
All war activity on hold. No bombing, attacking, pop dropping, unterraforming, packets on enemy, etc.
All ships not permitted to exceed warp 5.
All ship building must be removed from production.
All factory & mine production must be set to zero.
All ships only allowed to travel one vertical and one horizontal direction, like north and east, or south and east, or north and west, or south and west.
All mine laying stopped.
All gates closed.
All packets forbidden.
A time warp. Gens jump at random 2 to 5 years up to the 5 year plague period.
Plagues will start in years 6, 11, 16, etc. and will continue for 5 years.
Host will not play. Host will try to make sure rules are obeyed. All race files must be submitted with passwords to host. Each discovered rule violation will be punished with loss of a ship or something of value depending on how many violations occur. Punishments will be posted in public announcements.
Winner is last race standing or by vote.
Medium galaxy, normal, distant, acc bbs.
Any race can play.
Already seven bravehearts have stepped up to challenge the Plague. Are there more who dare?

Cheating will be difficult. Exactly. Hence anyone cheating will be caught and will refer to you a nasty.
And I'll play but only if the turn gens aren't too often. I took on a few games recently that are a bit turn intensive.

Heres a thought...
pick a (centralish? non homeworld?)planet and keep track of ships that visit it and kill them off after x(5?) years...noting which ships/planets they come into contact with, who also die after x years. not at all random I know...but could be very terrifying.
~/ hmm....my scout died... was it a random event? was it that planet 4 turns ago? was it that enemy scout? the minefield? that colony?
perhaps a healer ship with a very specific design, requiring a reasonable level of research of course...probably defenceless, certainly unarmed...
