Slow Tech: No
PPS: From 80
Week-ends: Yes
Alliance: 4 (if we get all 12 players, 3 otherwise)
I agree that wormholes would unbalance the game, so yes to "no random events". Does this mean "no MT" as well?

We have arrived at the deadline time. However, I'm waiting for a response from Donjon so I will leave things open until I hear from him. New players can still join if they're quick & race files can still be modified for now.
I will post the close off notification & send a broadcast PM as soon as I hear from Donjon.
We have 11 players (lefnufrag has not responded yet).
In the meanwhile, 2 players have expressed interest in allowing Random Events. Tho I'm opposed I will hold a ballot.
The starting position is:
RANDOM EVENTS: Yes: 2 (Crappicus,Mark) No:2 (Me,Staz)

I've just heard from Donjon - he is in the middle of a 2 week holiday. He has suggested an alternative (who I wont name as yet so as not to unduly pressure him). I've sent a PM.
The players list is:
Cleitos [Mark]
Perdiccas [AlexThe Great]
Craterus [ADG_Wraith]
Pyrrhus [Steve]
Alexander V [vmanuel]
Olympias [Crappicus]
Seleucos [Jagophile]
Antigonos [ForceUser]
Phillip III [Staz]
Roxana [hiunmaiden]
Eumenes [Tomasoid]
Lefnufrag has not responded.
Voting & decisions re. optional game parameters:
1. Slow Tech. Yes:2, No:8, No Response:1. NO SLOW TECH.
2. Public Scores. Yes:0, No:3 From 2480:7, No Response:1. PUBLIC SCORES FROM 2480.
3. Play on weekends. Yes:9, No:1, No Response:1. WE PLAY ON WEEKENDS.
4. Alliance size limit. 4:6, 3:4, No Response:1. LIMIT is 4.
5 Random Events. Yes:3, No:5, No Response:3. NO RANDOM EVENTS.

Lefnufrag has sent me a PM & still wants in. He has been away from his computer & will remain so for 2 more days when he can rush in a race file.
Even if I get a response today (which is probable) re. a replacement setup guy, he will need to collect everyone's passwords so I think there's enough time.
Thus, it seems that we'll have 12 players after all.
BTW I have switched characters from Perdiccas to Ptolemy - I figure that since Ptolemy was such an important member of the Diadochi someone should play him.

I sent a PM to the alternative setup guy but i've heard nothing. I think he must be on holidays as well since he is normally reliable.
Donjon is due back from Belize in a few days tho now so I'm confident that he can do it then.
Sorry for those who have neen getting anxious. So as to get it on ASAP upon Donjon's return I will ask everyone to send a PM to Donjon (NOT ME) with your race password - I've sent mine just now.
The amended player list is:
Cleitos [Mark]
Ptolemy [AlexThe Great]
Craterus [ADG_Wraith]
Pyrrhus [Steve]
Alexander V [vmanuel]
Olympias [Crappicus]
Seleucos [Jagophile]
Antigonos [ForceUser]
Phillip III [Staz]
Roxana [hiunmaiden]
Eumenes [Tomasoid]
Antipater II [Lefnufrag]
Updated voting & decisions re. optional game parameters:
1. Slow Tech. Yes:2, No:9. NO SLOW TECH.
2. Public Scores. Yes:0, No:3 From 2480:8. PUBLIC SCORES FROM 2480.
3. Play on weekends. Yes:9, No:2. WE PLAY ON WEEKENDS.
4. Alliance size limit. 4:6, 3:5. LIMIT is 4.
5. Random Events. Yes:5, No:5, No Response:1. NO RANDOM EVENTS. This decision could change if Tomasoid responds since it is currently a tie.
A special Note: It is my understanding that AH accepts only players using Stars! 2.6 JRC4. If you are using something else then please download that patch level at http://starsautohost.org/files/stars26jrc4.zip. This is true even if you are using v2.70j (the commercial version) which was never patched to JRC4 - for anybody concerned about that, I believe that the only significant difference is that 2.6 has no audio.
Do you need to reenter the Stars! serial code if u switch from 2.7 to 2.6?

Donjon is due back soon. I sent him everything needed to perform the game setup a few days ago.
What I can't know tho is whether everyone has PMed him with their race file password.
I'm keen that there is no holdup in this regard so could everyone PM me if they have sent their password to Donjon - DON'T TELL ME THE PASSWORD THO just let me know that it has been sent. That way I will know if I need to chase up anyone.
Also, I asked Donjon to ensure good mineral concentrations (If he has time to do so) - I suggested a mininum of I=65,B=50,G=65. If any of you object to this let me know.

Alex has kindly asked if I want to participate, and I've said yes. I trust it is not too late. I've sent a race to the relevant parties, pw to donjon, etc.
Not that I wish to change any of the settings, but for the record my votes on the offered questions would have been -
yes to slow tech
no to public scores
yes to weekends
no to random events
max allies 3
I've no strong opinion on any of them, however, and I'll readily go with what those who were early or on time, have agreed.
Does everyone realize what a large game means in terms of time?
Sincerely,
Jason Cawley

Most of you will know Jason Cawley by name (at least). When I noticed that he was back in the Stars! fold I couldn't resist issuing an invitation, especially since Donjon was not yet back. I'm thrilled that he has accepted.
The amended player list (13) is:
Cleitos [Mark]
Ptolemy [AlexThe Great]
Craterus [ADG_Wraith]
Pyrrhus [Steve]
Alexander V [vmanuel]
Olympias [Crappicus]
Seleucos [Jagophile]
Antigonos [ForceUser]
Phillip III [Staz]
Roxana [hiunmaiden]
Eumenes [Tomasoid]
Antipater II [Lefnufrag]
Lysimachos [JasonC]
Updated voting & decisions re. optional game parameters:
1. Slow Tech. Yes:3, No:9, No Response:1. NO SLOW TECH.
2. Public Scores. Yes:0, No:4 From 2480:8, No Response:1. PUBLIC SCORES FROM 2480.
3. Play on weekends. Yes:10, No:2, No Response:1. WE PLAY ON WEEKENDS.
4. Alliance size limit. 4:7, 3:5, No Response:1. LIMIT is 4.
5. Random Events. Yes:5, No:6, No Response:2. NO RANDOM EVENTS.
The only possible change to the decisions above would be if both Tomasoid & Lefnufrag both voted Yes to RANDOM EVENTS.
Note that Staz favoured max. 3 allies when we had 11 players. He favoured 4 tho if 12+ players. Thus 1 vote changed.
