This is a game idea from John316 that I played in a while ago. Unfortunately the game I was in was stopped early and we never had a chance to finish. So I want to give this a go again. I modified the race rules just a little banning factoryless HE and Joat cannot take NAS. Here are the game rules:
Players: 8 players, intermediate and above.
Universe: Small, normal, distant, SLOW TECH, ACC BBS
Victory: 100% consensus vote from remaining players, alliance win possible (but limited to two).
Schedule: M-T-W-T-F until at least turn 30. Move to M-W-F when at least two players have requested a slowdown.
Race Limitations: ALL races MUST take weapons expensive and the Bleeding Edge Tech LRT. No factoryless HE. This means that the GR of the HE cannot be more than 10(20) and factories cannot be less than default. Joat cannot take NAS. There are otherwise no restrictions. Races will be verified by the third party prior to start.
Special Rules: NO TECH TRADING ALLOWED. No scrapping, no pop dropping allies for tech gain, no wolf-lamb. You may not scrap MT ships for tech gain or share MT parts through scrapping. You may trade ships to other players, but if scrapping those ships would produce tech gains, they may never be scrapped (design may be deleted, however). Sending an "observer" ship to watch a battle in hopes of gaining tech is allowed, as long as the battle is between enemies.
Gaining tech through legitimate battle with enemies (in space or through invasion) is allowed and encouraged, however.
NO PRE-GAME ALLIANCES ALLOWED. This ruins the game for everyone.
Cheats allowed: Healing after gating, chaff, split-fleet dodge, mine damage dodge. All other cheats forbidden (cheap starbases, etc).
Host is playing, so I am looking for a 3rd party to check races.
Thanks,

May I suggest removing the mine damage dodge from the list? I've learnt the hard way that it's not allowed in most of the games... Also, keeping in mind with the game theme, clearing mines should be a relatively hard thing to do 
Also, I can understand why no -f HE, but why penalize a JOAT? That would open up the flood gates against all other races as well... for eg CA etc.
I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.Report message to a moderator
