Since my summer vacation is not going to happen, I would like to host a Stars game.
The game is for beginners/intermediate, common sense should be applied when fitting yourself into these definitions.
The primary goal is to host (and play!) a game with people who previously enjoyed playing AIs or played no more than 4-5 games with humans and think they got some lessons out of those games.
Here's a chance to see whether these lessons were well learned!
Game parameters:
8 players to participate, host is playing
Medium Universe/normal density
Distant player positions
Public Player scores
(remember we enjoyed this parameter playing with AIs!)
Galaxy clumping
Victory conditions - Last Man Standing or vote (when it becomes boring)
Chaff and Split fleet are allowed - all other cheats are banned.
No CA, the rest is OK.
Game will be on Autohost, 5 turns a week M-T-W-T-F, slowing down to 3 per week (MWF) upon request; no turns on weekend (It's still summer in northern hemisphere, mind my cancelled vacation)
Alliances are allowed, but bear the victory condition in mind.
PPS will probably influence the diplomacy but in which way - cannot predict.
About myself: I played three games with humans, lost two, and rode to the victory on a wise and mightier ally's back once (God bless you, Zapan!).
Send race files (PASSWORDED!!) to dimviks@hotmail.com

huh.. still hoping

Don't worry. The last game I posted (Landrush) was for 4 players only, and it took 3 weeks to get 4 responses. It happened eventually though.

You could always offer someone a duel while you are waiting.
