I want to start a game that is a normal huge universe game. The rules will be no strange or tricky strategies making use of bugs or apparent oversights of the creators. JRC3 Patch will be used. No CA or PP races. There will be random encounters (Mystery Traders). Players will form alliances in teams of three (or four if we have all 16 players), so I need at least 6 people to start play. I will begin this game on Monday, August 11. All interested should email me at tomt64ATusersDOTsfDOTnet by Midnight Pacific Time (GMT -8 usually, but due to savings time is -7 against UTC for those who do not observe such time changes in the summer) on August 11, that means you have all day Sunday my time to get an email to me. Emails should include race file. Turns will be generated and sent out on one of three schedules:
1) Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday
2) Every weekday, no weekends (all except Saturday and Sunday)
3) Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday
Please indicate your preference in your email to me. If you absolutely CANNOT have one of these schedules, indicate that as well. I will go with the most preferences, and if you cannot have that then you will not be able to play.
Also if you are willing to be a backup host let me know that too.

My race file should be on its way.
Is this a advanced players game or are there also beginners in a game?

Count me in. Now, this will be my first PBEM Stars game... but I should be able to hold my own. Hopefully. =P

Ok guys,
I now have 6 players who have emailed me. tomt64ATusersDOTsfDOTnet is my email. I will email back from another email address. Once the game starts I will be using yet another address to send the turns, and I will want you to email me back at that address. To ease the confusion,
1) Email me at tomt64ATusersDOTsfDOTnet if you have not and are interested in joining so I have your email address
2) Expect a reply from adamttATcomcastDOTnet
3) Expect turns to come from tomt64ATtomt64DOTcom once the game has started. I will email you all (who have emailed me) from this address when I am ready to start.
Since we have 6 players, there is enough to start a 3v3 team game. But I am going to wait for people to email me who are interested in joining until Friday, August 29. On the weekend I will gatehr together the emails and send out an email. If the number joining happens to be a prime number (7, 11, 13) I will wait for more to join. If this happens I will post here. The goal is to have (if possible) 4 teams of 3 or 4 each. If this cannot be done we will divide the teams evenly between joined players.
If you are confused and are interested in joining, email me, because this board is not something I look at often.

Count me in.
This'll be my first multiplayer game of Stars! (ever... no, really...), and it's been a few years, but I reckon I can still hold my own.
I've emailed you to join.
Cheers,
Joe/Dogthinkers

This is my first multiplayer game. I'm not afraid of the computers (except those high difficulty HE races, they sometimes run away with the game... The computer is pretty good at sending out gazillions of colony ships...)

Ummm, can you randomise the teams.... I'm guessing the veteran players check the forum more often, so are likely to have joined earlier.... I bet the last 4-5 to join will all be newbies like me
If people quote their experience, I think it would be a great idea to make sure there's 1 advanced player on each team.
