Pure Vanilla Mayhem?
Tiny, Packed, Distant, ACC BBS, 12-16 Players
Rules: Don't cheat (standard disclaimers, split fleet, min dmg, repair after gating, chaff excepted)
I was thinking of calling it "Knife Fight in a Phone Box".
Ranked?

I wonder what type of race would do best there, 1WW or relatively wide hab?
|
I think 1WW would be almost mandatory. For sure, there will be quite a few - which means 1WW habs suddenly aren't quite as limiting as usual (nice green homeworlds to conquer.)
I suppose a more conventional race with left shifted habs might do alright as a 'metagame' play - making the presumption most races will be right shifted 1WW races, thus your worlds would be deep red to most players. But I think you'd just be delaying your defeat (by the 1WW that conquers the most other 1WW races.)
This is presuming no diplomacy... A game this small would hinge dramatically on diplomacy, if it's available.

I could go another round of this.
Hopefully this time I won't get my ass handed to me on a plate.

I might be interested, a tiny game wouldn't take too much MM time and Glacier 4 is MM-light so far anyway.

Please answer:
What is your timezone?
Play weekends?
Single player victory or no diplomacy at all?
Race restrictions/Balancing or Natural?
I was thinking the fewer rules the better, but I will leave it to you.
|
Eastern US (GMT -5)
Weekends OK
Single player victory, no diplomacy
No real preference for balancing
Cheers, Rolf.

lol...what did you expect?
My advice...review the requests then pick whatever you feel like and stick to it. (ie don't be tentative) Most of the stuff requested won't be a deal breaker...just a preference.
