I'd like to join as well. I've only played one game, and finished 6th of 8, so I'm crap! Still working on a race though... might try something new.

I believe proper etiquette when you 'finish' a game is to let us all know that you concede. So that the rest of us dont sit and wonder why you just stopped submitting.

And I would have thought the correct etiquette when suspending/restarting a game was to email the participants and letting them know what's going on.

The game was on hold for over week, then restarted and two turns were generated before I knew what what happening. I simply missed them.

I had no choice but to exit the game given the disadvantage. I was loosing anyway, but was willing to continue and try to fight my way though until the two missed turns.

I chose not to make a fuss about it with Ashlyn, but since you seem to be aggrieved by it, well this is why. I did correspond with Ashlyn and an additional turn was generated before being set to inactive.

If you have a problem with this PM me or email me.

Wow... I am surprised to meet such great response To be frank, I was getting doubtful if this game found enough players to start. But it looks like we have now 10 players which is sufficient to begin. To give everyone some more time to prepare a race, the deadline for sending race to Coyote is 30 October 2009 (remember to provide him with PW).

Let me see... it is getting crowdy... we have 3 handicapped and 7 less experienced players:

1 ) iojho (handicapped)
2 ) kicks (no handicap)
3 ) Soobie (handicapped)
4 ) Martin (no handicap)
5 ) Galien (no handicap)
6 ) ManicLurch (no handicap)
7 ) lodadilo (no handicap)
8 ) bluechucky (no handicap)
9 ) Kaloth (no handicap)
10)projectstupid (handicapped)

We can take 1 more player on board! There is 1 week to join us!

I need to change generation hour from 7 p.m. to 2 p.m. due to working hours.

FYI, I am at CET.

BR,

iojho

From my lerking I think I may have to agree on that as if Kaloth is claiming he is a Intermediate and from other posts could be said to be more.

I am definitely a low intermediate, no more. In my first true non beginner game I got absolutely smashed. And it's not really hard to win the FA series, where both of my victories were, most players there are playing one of their first games and it's not very competitive -- just fun!

I am happy to take a penalty if you think I'm that good, but please do not state that I am more than intermediate because I am definitely not

Drakyhulla, thank you for sending your race! We will consider you substitute player if someone would not send his race on time.

According to game announcement, Tranquility is meant for up to 11 players and you are 12 unfortunately. (I have tested my race yesterday, and I felt it is going to be very crowdy .


Kaloth, I am going to risk and leave Kaloth's race with no handicap. I am not convinced for penalyzing Kaloth with as many as 60 RW points, so I will not. I was also thinking about 30 RW points of handicap for Kaloth but this would mean that I should have assessed point penalty for every player individually, which I am not able to. I want only warn everyone that Kaloth seems to be intermediate (lower) and has no penalty.

I didn't mean to make a fuss about it. I've already submitted a penalised race to Coyote!

I just didn't want my abilities mis-reported for future games..

C'est la vie.

That said, very crowdy is what my race expects. The 'crowdier' the better

If a 75 turn game doesn't feel crowded, you got the settings wrong

Something tells me that the *only* thing that will tranquil about this game, will be the gen rate. Looking forwards to reading the post-game anecdotes in a few months.
