Hi there,

A third party would be best for racefile checking, and to arbitrate any dispute were there might be a conflict of interest.

I can check races if you want me to.

Torben

Thanks Torben. Send me an email to sallyann7 at gmail.com and we'll talk.

Edit: don't ask.

Please define a rule for me please. "No more than 2 in an alliance"

You can only have one person set to friend and cannot work with anyone else trade ect...

Or can you only set one person to friend and only trade and work together with that one player set as friend and all other players you cant trade with or attack with ect..
That was about as best as I could explain...

Tu Th Sat is the Gen days but at which time?
How long do I have until I must have my race file in?

The no more than 2 in an alliance refers ONLY to winning conditions. Only 2 can win. (not an alliance of 3) Vanilla game. No conditions regarding how many players you can tech trade or set to friend/enemy. Your discretion.

I don't know what time yet.. thats not til 2440 anyway. That's one of the reasons I ask for timezones, so I can have some sort of clue what will be the best.

Bounce

start getting your racefile together.. i won't call for racefiles til i talk to Torben.

I would be interested in joining the game, but I'm not sure if I'll have enough time, and have yet to think my race design. Work at computer

i also have not thought of a race design, m.a @ Work at computer

i was gonna play something i hadn't played alot of.. like SS or IS... with 6 players i was gonna consider HP, cos it would take you a while to find me... but with the caliber of the players and now the number.. me thinks i'm gonna rethink that. oh last time i played HP, ccmaster's monster HE was my neighbor.

I assume the standard disclaimer allows for chaff, split fleet dodge, repair after gating, and minimum damage.

The "standard disclaimer" usually allows for chaff (generally not considered a cheat) and split fleet dodge (because of difficulty to police).

"repair after gating" is a relatively recent addition, considered harder to police than it's worth.

"minimum damage" is a major cheat and isn't usually allowed. Where did you get the idea that it was "standard"?

Jeff says it is a feature.

Iztok isn't going to join. Not sure about m.a @ stars either...
while jscoble hasn't shown any activity in the other new game thread either (stone age slog).
Little eddie does have a good appetite for games, so even if he's signed on for two games, I'm sure he'll be here at the start.

I've subscribed to this thread, but somehow I'm not getting any email alerts to any new posts here.
Wierd.

Anyways I'll check here every 2-3 days, but please send me a pm or a mail if it's urgent.

Hi ,

Random Events could kill a game with easy special in a team game. I like to play and see what you could do with your skill level not with your luck to make it fix on a example:

3 MT comes in the univers. and brings tech.
Because of the Route only 4 Player could reach all and 2 more could reach 1 of them.
1 team gets all with different techs. 9 Techs *3 *2 = 54 techs
1 team gets several techs double 30 techs
1 team gets only 1 MT but mostly different techs lets say 15 techs

Only a example but this could happen and it happend several times in games I played.
So now you have 1 teams real in the lead with tech killing all there neighboures. And 2 teams whou will try to do something against it.
ALL the others are dead meat and have wast several month of playing in the game.

So to have a game that makes fun you have to switch Random Events off.

I disagree. The MT is part of the game. If you want it all nonramdom you need to also have Max Minerals, and find a way to make the habitat values of the worlds non-random.
Because in a game of Stars! unless you play tri-immune you are ALWAYS taking a chance in terms of whether there will be high-value planets near your HW.

What I'd prefer is a rule saying "No shooting down ships of people trying to meet the MT."

I never played a medium map before except against AI YEARS ago and that was massive to me. Will probably take two years to finish a game at 3 turns a week in the later years.

I'm going to have to back out of this after really thinking about it. Id love to play the same game but in a small Universe.

I am currently playing in Stone Age Slaughter IV but am about to get trashed so will be free to play another game. If there is a place in this game please count me in and I will send off a race file as soon as possible.
