Introduction: We will start with a large normal universe, a neutral thrid party will remap the planets into the shape of a pentagon, with a hollowed pentagon inside, and a small grouping of planets in the very center. All the players in a team will start near each other, grouped around the outer corners.

The universe will look something like:

This is a very rough idea, the HW positions won't be exactly like this! Just to give you an idea. The setup person is very experienced with this sort of games, and will do his best to make sure that all team positions are fair relative to one another.
Due to the remap the density will be more dense than the advertised normal!

The setup person might play a 16th race as an observer.

Rules:
- ALL players except your teammates will be set to enemy (neutral party will check from time to time), battle orders will be set to attack enemies (unless in special cases when you want to infiltrate enemy minefiels without sweeping).
- PP and IT are banned (primarily for setup reasons).
- No bug/feature listed in the NG FAQ is allowed, except for chaff and fleet dodge (if you can get it to work). You can find a good (but not complete!) bug list at http://www.starsfaq.com/bugs.htm or here at the forum in The Academy.
- Passwords will not change unless you send the new one(s) to the third party, this to find replacements should a team suddenly disappear.
- One person playing more than one race is not allowed, unless when teammates are on hollidays or when a race is close to death.

Victory conditions:
There will be five Target planets, one at each outer corner of the pentagon, and one Target planet in the center (six in total). The winner of the game is the team that owns the most target planets at the year 2500. If there is a tie, then the game will be extended in 10 year sections until the tie is broken. If at any time one team owns 4 or more of the target planets, then that team is declared the winner immediately.
To own a Target planet, it must be colonized and have population there.

PLEASE PASSWORD YOUR RACEFILES! The host will be playing and since the game will be on AutoHost everyone will have access to your turn-files!

Please apply with a full team, matching up solo players doesn't work for 99% of the time, you'll need a team that is used to playing together.
To save a slot in the game: send me an email with the names and email adresses of the 3 players of your team. Race files are expected within a week, they will be send to me, I will forward them to the neutral party and include you in the mail, when you receive that mail you send your password to the neutral party (but NOT to me of course!!).
The setup of the universe might be a pain because of the remap, so it might take a week, depending on the luck of the neutral party and his Real Life.

Kind regards,
mch
