signing up for tempest 6...will send a race this weekend...

man i'm bored...we need to get more of these games started...it's weird being signed up for 5 games and yet only playing in 3 (one is a duel..it will end soon most likely..i'm a little behind:P)

but ya, with 2 or 3 day gen times i tend to not have to worry too much about being in multiple games...even if it went to one day i still could probably find time..i'd just install the game on my school computer's network drive

Its fine, there is room. That would bring the count up to 5 players, I'll post the potential roster tomorrow...

However, I want to caution you... in the beginning game turns are easy but as the turns progress you should find yourself doing more micromanagement for each turn... you may very well be looking at 1/2 hour moves (time to analyse, MM, and correspondence) So, I caution you, be careful not to bite off more than you can chew Rolling Eyes

I would like to play in this one as well. I have become bored of "fighting" computers; I wish for the honor of feeling the weight of a human mind implementing the game's various devices. And....I just graduated college and am avoiding the real world for awhile....don't tell it where I am in case it happens to stop by. I will send my race fil within the next 6 hours, and if all spots are full then feel free to discard the race file.

Tempest V files have been sent to Ron... it should start soon.

Tempest VI: we have four players who have expressed interest and submitted races, there is still room for four more players...

If you have been sitting back and hedging because you are not certain about getting involved in a Stars! netgame, don't be fearful... this is a beginners game with beginners, you are most certainly welcome to join Smile

dj

Woot! Great to see Tempest V getting started!

Just a note to those who have not processed their first turn, I found my AutoHost upload password email in my Junk Folder. Odd, because other post replies were coming into my normal inbox, but you may want to check your Junk folder if you have not received your game start notification.

See you all in game Smile

just for a quick notice, I have already told the Game Host so: I'm on vacation to next Friday, and I cannot be sure when I get regular net access (I'm just sitting in an Internet Cafe). So it can be a few days until we can really start.

Yours,
Torben
