Players with fewer than ten multi-player games worth of experience under their intergalactic belts.

General details of the game:

Title:Partners in Time
Starting Positions: Farther
Density:Dense
Beginner (Maximum Minerals):No
Slower Tech Advances: Off
Accelerated BBS Play: Yes
No Random Event: Not selected
Public Player Scores: No
Galaxy Clumping: Yes
Universe Size: < 5 players = small, 5 to 8 players = medium universe, 9 to 14 players = large, and > 14 = Huge
Stars Version: 2.7jRC3 (or 2.6jRC3)

Players will be randomly paired up at the start of the game once the race files have been received. These teams may not ally with other teams during the course of the game. Only one team can control the Universe at the end of the game.

Players can only have one other player set to "Friendly" during the game, and that is the player that they are initially paired up with at the start of the game.

The winning conditions will be set to unwinnable, and the winning team will be decided by the active players (not before year 2480) or by the extinction of all other races.

For the first fourteen years the game will generate twice a day (01:00 and 13:00 GMT) Monday through Friday (can generate early if all players have submitted). Starting with year 2415 the game generation will be reduced to only generate once a day (13:00 GMT) Monday through Friday. Later in the game (2460+) if the majority of players want the turn generation reduced again, it shall be so.

As this is a beginners game, the only race limitation is that claim adjuster races are not allowed.

No cheats allowed except for Chaff. No pre-game alliances other than the one specified above.

The game will hopefully be starting November 26, 2002 (depending on how quickly everyone signs up).

You may want to consider Distant starting positons.

Reason is that Distant is the only setting that scatters everyone. Using lower settings tends to leave a few players surrounded by the rest who have access to large 'backyards' of space. Think of two concentric rings of players in the middle of a big univers: Inner circle can't expand, while the outer circle has all the room they could ever want.

Thank you Apelord, I did not know that. I am currently hosting a game where there are two reaces with large backyards and the rest of us cramped into the corners. I will keep that in mind for this and any future game that I host.

For anyone interested in playing this game, the starting positions will be set to Distant.

We now have five players who have said that they will play and I have received race files from three of them (one of them is me Wink). You still have just over a week to get signed up as the game is projected to start on November 26, 2002.

I look forward to meeting you out among the Stars!.

I take it that this means that you are willing to play? The only race limitations are that there are no Claim Adjusters allowed.

Nope, maybe next time! Wink

No, if you like you can wait until the last minute if you like Confused . Right now, you are the sixth person who has said that they are willing to play so that makes the current universe size medium but I expect more people to join, so it should end up being bigger than that.

Whenever you like you can send me your race file at tjl128@mail.usask. ca (without the space before the ca).

Welcome to this new found corner of the Universe!

Now we have seven people signed up to play in the "Partners in Time" game Cool . There is still room for more Wink.

I have received three race files so far and confirmed that they are not corrupt. Please get your race files in to me before November 24th so that I can confirm they are not corrupt and get them sent in to Ron (on the 24th) so that we might start playing on the 26th. Very Happy

If you have any questions please post them here, or send them to me in a private message or e-mail.

You will find out who your partner is the day that the game starts! Shocked That way no one can be accused of having tailored their race files based on their partner's. Wink

Just over a week to get your race files in to me!

We currently have eight registered players (which means the Universe size is still medium) and I have received four race files.

As of today I have received eight race files for the Partners in Time game that is starting next week. Very Happy

Anyone else wishing to join the game has until November 24th to get their race files in to me as I will be submitting the game to the AutoHost on that day.

If one more race file is received the game will move into a large universe.

See you out among the Stars!.

So far I have received nine race files (and ccmaster has indicated theirs is to be expected last minute), so there is still room for more. Cool

Send me your race file at tjl128@mail.usask. ca (without the space before the ca) before Sunday if you can as I would like to submit the game to Ron on that day.

Anyone else interested in joining at the last minute?

FurFuznel

P.S. Here are the people who I have received race files from so far (if you have sent me one and do not see your "name" here please contact me):
    Vilnius
    ExaMind
    StarDaze
    Hyper
    Ribbs
    Undelivered
    freaky
    tech25
    FurFuznel (that is me Wink )

MOST DEFINITELY!

if your race file is not password protected anyone can go to the site, download your turn and learn just about everything that you know, or even submit a turn in place of whatever turn you submit (if they do it before turn generation).

If anyone has not password protected their race files please re-send them to me once they are password protected.
