Tranquility is going to be a classic game dedicated to players who are busy in RL.

Players of every skill level are invited, however, more experienced players will be handicapped. “More experienced players” are obliged to leave 60 RW points to defences. Who is considered “more experienced player” depends on host based on the player’s preference. So please if you are interested let me know how many games you took part in (how many you won), and if I should treat you as more or less experienced player.

This game is intended for players busy in RL and thus generation schedule is as follows:
2401 - 2420 -> M-T-W-T-F at 7:00 p.m. GMT
2421 - 2435 -> M-W-F at 7:00 p.m. GMT
2436 - 2475 -> Tue-F at 7:00 p.m. GMT

The game is going to last no later than the year 2475! (This means that the game is going to be over in 28 weeks which gives approx. 7 months). The winner is the player who leads in score in the year marked 2475 or is declared a winner earlier by unanimous voting. There can be only 1 winner.

Players are obliged to set battle plans to attack ‘everyone’ and set the others as ‘enemy’. This means that players cannot transfer fleets each other, refuel in foreign bases, use foreign gates, passing through foreign mine fields safely. However, tech trade, alliances, NAPs, etc are allowed.

I am looking for 9-11 players. Host (me) plays.

Universe will be Medium and Sparse which is 216 planets (only)!

Other game settings are as follows:
- Distant players position
- AccBBS
- No random events
- Public Players Score!

CA is banned, and JOAT cannot take NAS.

Standard cheat disclaimer, which means that the following cheats are allowed:
- chaff
- split fleet dodge
- merge fleets after gating

The game will be played at SAH. I would like to start ASAP.

Races will be checked by 3rd party - Coyote (coyote27 at gmail dot com). Do not forget to provide him with PW!

Please think twice before you jump in, the pace will be rather low, so you need to be patient player.

iojho

Players are:

- iojho (handicapped)
- kicks (no handicap)
- scottrick49 (no handicap)
- Soobie (handicapped)

Eh, I'll volunteer for race checking, setup, &c, rather than signing up as a player.

Couldn't we allow the random events ?

It would be more fun and maybe give us some device against those nasty ss Smile
yet, they could sneak through the wormholes but we'll have even more fun !

Definately no Smile I will not allow random events mostly due to wormholes which are too random Razz . And instead of trading 5000 kT minerals build more warships.

Do not afraid of SS too much, SS is dangerous in later stages of a game once it gets ultra cloack. Earlier is as dangerous as other PRTs IMO, simply every race has its advantages and disadvantages (SS is expensive PRT).

Like any other PRT, its dangerousness depends on how well the player uses its advantages.

Welcome dexy!!

I treat you as 'less experienced player' and so take no handicap (unless I miss that you won several games even this happened couple of years ago Wink ).

We have now 6 players!

what kind of handicap for experienced players?

“More experienced players” are obliged to leave 60 RW points to defences.

I swear I didn't read that the first time. I guess I answered my own question!

Welcome Cool !!

Based on what I saw playing in Antagonism I wouls say your skill level is intermediate but I think it is also fair that you take no hnadicap - so please spend all RW points as you want.

As far as my experience, the best description is rusty oldtimer. I started playing again a few months ago after an absense of many many years. I am not sure if that means beginner or intermediate for your game, I am guessing somewhere in between.

I would join the fun if allowed, but still have to think of a working racedesign.
I have been playing Stars a lot, but only versus Computer AI ( 1 running with friends versus AIs)
Ive been reading here for days now and am really amazed how you can really play this game.
So i think i can proudly say my expirience Level is "semi - dead meat"...

I'd like to join as well.

I've only played one game, and finished 6th of 8, so I'm crap! Laughing

Still working on a race though... might try something new.
