I suppose I can manage two games as well. This should prove interesting. How soon are we wanting to start, and what's the gen-schedule?

I am interested in playing. When do you need the race file?

AlexTheGreat wrote on Fri, 06 June 2008 10:08

So I'll do the setup then. Players may as well send race files to me then by PM or to mcdonaldjk at bigpond dot com. I will need your race password if you use one.


As soon as we have 8 valid races I'll set up the game.

How about we allow one week for race submission (Chaos, is that OK with you?).

If you PM your race then include your email address. I'll need those to do the setup.

I'm not sure exactly how many players we have & their identities but we need exactly 8 so that needs clarification.

Chaos, if you are playing will you also host? I think I have too much on my plate to do it but I'm confident that someone else would volunteer - if you're like me I don't like to hosting if I'm playing (unless I have no choice) in case I get accused of bias.

Urgent
To properly plan my race I need to know - what size/density are we playing.
Both small/packed and medium/dense were mentioned?

My recommendation was medium/normal which means an average of 36 planets each but the final decision belongs to Chaosknight.

1. Ozone (?)
2. Effluviant Walrus
3. vmanuel
4. joseph
5. knightpraetor
6. ForceUser
7. Mynd
8. bretter

Well, we have 8 without me, and it's good.

I think universe will be Medium/normal, as AlexTheGreat suggests.
Please, send your race files and passwords to AlexTheGreat, for universe setup.

AlexTheGreat, please inform us about state of affairs. And thank you for help.

I just noticed - we have public player scores in the game description.
Is there a reason for this?

2 race files in so far (vmanual, knightpraetor). 6 to go.

Has Ozone confirmed that he's in?

At this stage the setup will be with PPS (as posted) so I guess you oughta state your cases if you oppose it.

Chaosknight has the final say tho, not me.

I've now received 5 race files as follows:
vmanuel (in)
knightpraetor (in)
Mynd (in)
Effluvient Walrus (in)
Joseph (in)

Awaiting Ozone?, Forceuser & bretter

Chaos, I need to know if Ozone is a starter or a scratching. If he's a scratching then we need another player pronto to avoid a lengthy delay (unless you play yourself).

Reading this thread? Interested in this game? Get your name down as we are likely to have at least one spare slot if not more.

(Also I want to start playing - soonish)

Well, Ozone is keeping silent. So we need on more player to go.
Public Player Score can be unchecked, if players will decide so.

I think, if host playing - it's not good. So my participation in this game as a player - is the worst way out.

If you really can't find someone I could play, but I'd rather restrict myself to the single game until I'm a month or so in and know how much more time I'll have. Plus I'm relocating half way around the world (back to the UK) in August, which will mess my net connection up for at least a couple of days...

I do have some ideas for the game concept. Cunning strategies, and the like, although being a total beginner I'd probably be wtfpwned too quickly to implement them.

I'm willing ... the one game I'm in might be over soon. Smile I like some overlap in games (one ending, one beginning).

Well, we have two candidates for the game instead of one. So i think a little competition will be an acceptable decision.
Players who will send their race files first will take part in this game.
This concerns to all players, who have not sent theirs race files yet...

AlexTheGreat, please control the state of affairs.

Thank you all.

Smile I don't want to compete with Adacore, if he wants to play fine by me, it just seemed from his post he'd rather not.

Why? It will work heavily in your favour.

I mean, how else are you going to get everyone to gang up on Micha? I'd be wanting PPS for year 1 if I was in this game Very Happy
