First, I'd like to say hi again to everyone who remembers me from way back when I played often, and visited the board often.
Okay, here's my thought. On the face it's a standard last-man-standing game in a medium sparse.
However:
You don't get to design your own races. Instead, you choose one from a mystery bag. Races will be decidely sub-optimal - the usual population growth rate will be about 12%, for example.
On 2400, a brief, vague, and possibly useful description of each race will be announced publicly.
Does this sound interesting?

Actually they might be a little difficult to balance, I'm trying to keep a balance of about 12% growth and 10% habitability, averaging all techs at normal, with either some points left over or some unusual economic choices.

I guess, when a few more people show up... with 8 or more, I'll change the density to normal. I'm hoping for at least 6.

I'll let this ripen for a week or so and see how many other people want in.

The test then becomes one of gameplay and not race design.

That takes away part of the concept of this game though.
I think the races I have now seem okay actually.
Races built, and players randomly assigned to them:
Dazathi (Magic or Mynd, awaiting confirmation)
Kirakal (Combat)
Suzuran (ForceUser)
Zehl Hordes (rolfverberg)
Locusts (superparrot)
Mozh Laiccar (bretter)
Spiral Imperium (Sulpholobus)
Ilu Cadan (Airny)
Slarn Selenn (vmanuel)
Naraein (Magic or Iztok, awaiting confirmation)

Also, I have a name for the game. Life Is Eternal Struggle (or LIES for short).
PM me your email and preferred race password if you want in! I've sent messages to those who've already expressed an interest.

So you've listed 9 races - which PRT is excluded? CA?
What is the universe configuration?

Hi,
count me in too.
It's more than 11 years ago that I've played it in school! I am excited to see this game still being played and I hope you don't mind playing with a newbie related to AutoHost (who read some guides/posts).

Once all players have confirmed, we'll be ready to rock.
If one more player wants to jump in, then now's the time!
Also, I can put together more races if there's increased demand...
Confirmed so far: Airny, bretter, ForceUser, Sulpholobus, superparrot.

I still need confirmations from Mynd and Iztok... since there's a new player (Magic) confirmed in, then the first one of you two gets the player slot.
