 Hi people,

I like strategy and role play so I'm trying to mix them in stars to create a new game based on a crazy idea. I will use the theme of Babylon 5 TV Series as a background for this new game I want to host.

PS: As a newbie, I appreciate the help and suggestion of any expert players so the game can be actually playable, balanced and fare.

PS: Sorry for the long message...

1) The game settings are:

- Host WILL NEVER play. This restriction also I applies to anyone who wants to help the host as an observer (see Babylon 5 Private Forum information).

- Universe Size: Large,
- Density: Normal,
- NO Beginner Maximum Minerals
- Slower Tech Advances
- Accelerated BBS,
- Random Events,
- NO Public Player Scores,
- Galaxy Clumping.

- Players:
* 2 Advanced Players: The Shadows and The Vorlons
* 1 Special Host Player: The jumpgate Network (friend to all)
* 8-10 Beginner/intermediate Players: Can not be SS, IS or IT.

- Chaff and split fleet allowed, Other cheats banned.

- Victory Conditions: Special
* The Shadows win the game if the Vorlons HW is defeated;
* The Vorlon win the game if the Shadows HW is defeated;
* For the other players, the victory conditions are:
- If they are associated with Vorlons and Shadow HW is defeated, they win with Vorlons;
- If they are associated with Shadows and Vorlon HW is defeated, they win with Shadows;
- If any player or associated players defeated Shadows and Vorlon HWs, they win alone.

- Turns: Special
All turns must be submitted within 24H frame with the following restrictions:

* "Signs and Portents" (2400-2450?):
Only shadows and vorlons can submit turns.
Other players don't play.
Shadows and Vorlons can ONLY attack each other FLEETS and COLONIES.

* "The Coming of Shadows" (2450-2500):
All players submit turns.
Except from Shadow and Vorlons, there is no restriction for other players.
Shadows and Vorlons can attack each other FLEETS and COLONIES.
Shadows and Vorlons can attack other players FLEETS ONLY.

* "Point of No Return" (2500+):
All players submit turns. No restriction's applies to any player.

- Vorlon and Shadow Race:
* The Vorlons and Shadows must have the smallest habitat range possible in all 3 environment.
They can colonize other planets if they found then, but still only HW defeat counts for victory.
* Shadow and Vorlon will know each other HW location from turn 1.
* Vorlon must be a IS race.
* Shadow must be a SS race.


- Babylon 5 (Private Forums and information system):

First, all messages between players must also be sent to the host/observers who will keep track of politic, economic and military information in the universe. The host/observers will also look at players turns from time to time to gather information for the Babylon 5 Forum.
The forum news starts to become online in the "The Coming of Shadows" phase.

The idea is that "things" will eventually be know at Babylon 5 Station by rumors, ISN new, etc...
Those information will be delayed depending on how secret it is, but sooner or later, others will now.

Here are some examples of the topics:

- ISN Economics [Each turn]: The top 10 most rich (resources) planets in the universe are posted each turn.
(Only name, no value for actual resources. Also the rich mineral planets (mineral extraction) are also
reported here. Exception for Shadow and Vorlon data that never appears)

- ISN News [Each turn]: Politic public associations, wars, new jumpgate points and great events are reported here as needed.

- ISN Rumors [turn delay]: Any rumor is posted here with a delay (depending on how secret the players
want it and how big it is the impact in the universe). For example:
* If a player vessel is destroyed without war, 2 turns later it's missing is report.
* If some player developer a new technology that others don't have yet, a rumor appears 3 turns later.
* A se ...
