I don't think Neil's set up any limits so far... and I'm pretty sure it's 1st race file in, gets a seat Smile

Four files received, waiting on passwords for two of them.

Here is the current lineup:
Player1=LittleEddie
Player2=Nmid
Player3=Loucipher
Player4=slimdrag00n

More are welcome to join. One more player will bump the universe up to small normal. After 5, you will just get more crowded. The moor the bloodier, err merrier. Yey

What happened to these 5 "CRETINS" !!
jk.

When will we ideally start up?
Would a Friday deadline and giving Ron the weekend to put up the game files over the weekend, be ok?

I sure was looking forward to Void and VonKreedon joining up.

I don't suffer a congenital thyroid deficiency.

I could readily front up a race.

Number of players would affect my choice of race. Hence previous question. Also, the fact that PP's may be out there means I won't be trying any of the more experimental race designs I had in mind for this size universe.

Once there is a deadline, if I'm still interested, a race will follow.

I was really hoping for a tiny uni No matter how many players but if you guys want to do small I think I can deal. My only question is that if PP is allowed in a tiny can we ban the fact they can use one hit wonders on are HW in the beginning of the game? Maybe limit size of packets or what year they can throw big ones?

Nothing worse then playing this game and then year 15 or 20 and a packet takes out your HW.

I definitely like the idea of Friday being the deadline for races so we can possibly start this Monday.

According to the game parameters we are going to be in a small/normal galaxy, and my race assumes this size/density.

Well, I was hoping for a tiny universe too.. but Neil said that if there are more than 4 players, then it would be a small normal universe.

Btw, a clarification over PP rules would be welcome.
There are none atm.. and I'll assume that means that a PP can do whatever he wants.
I'm ok either ways.

I was also hoping for a tiny universe, but I'm sure I'll have fun either way. I'm not scared of unrestricted PPs either!

One racefile corrupt, email sent to player.

Player1=LittleEddie
Player2=Nmid
Player3=Loucipher
Player4=slimdrag00n
Player5=Brazouck
Player6=vonKreedon
Player7=Jools
Player8=Taka Tuka
Player9=Centaurian

I think a tentative deadline of 2400 GMT 12th April should be adequate to shake anymore interest out of this tree.

8-10 players in a small/normal universe does live upto the game name now Smile

The no min damage experiment has hopefully been nerfed Razz

Indeed, it should be quite cozy.
The min damage loophole is not allowed.

So are we still looking at

Small
Normal
Distant
Accelerated BBS

with 9+ players

That will be one good knife fight, for sure.

Just one quick question...

What are the exact victory conditions? I know it's meant to be "Single Race Victory", but there are many ways one can win a game.

Well, there is always victory by acclaim (when other players decide to take their ball and go home), or the game parameters:

Victory declared when a player meets 4 of the following
own 20%
Attain Tech 22 in 4
Exceed score of 10k
Exceed Second place by 50%
Has production capacity of 20k
Owns 100 capital ships
Highest score after 100 years
At least 110 years must pass before winner declared.
