I think I'd like to join, I only played 2 games to the end, one I lost and the other I would been "next" if it hadn't ended when it did. <lucky me>
So I think I qualify for a beginner/intermediate player skill game.
How many players till it goes to "medium" size?

I'm going to keep the game at 6 players in a small universe (I want this to be a reasonably short game).
I do have a growing list of reserves however, and have added you to it (reserve number 3). If any of the primary players fail to come up with a race file then the reserves will take their place in the order in which they applied.
Any reserves who don't make it into the game will be put in touch with each other so they can start their own game, if they can agree on a host.
Regards
Staz

Another thing...
From each player (including anyone wanting to be on the reserves list) I will need the following
* Real life name
* A valid email address
* Race name
* Race file (password protected, non-CA)
I will send reminders to everyone tomorrow (Sunday), final notices on Monday and then send the game files to Ron on Tuesday (2 Dec).
We should be playing by the end of the week (Friday).

I should also have mentioned that even though the race files should be password protected, don't send me the passwords.
I'll be playing too, and it might put me in an awkward position. If I was really clever and figured out some stuff about your race (PRT, hab ranges, etc) then you might be tempted to think I had just looked in your race file.

We are pretty much ready to go now, with the following players...
Tim, Timoids
Dima, Dimych ?
Ed, Federales
William, Plendn ?
Steve, Staznar
Chris, Kilrat ?
I have race files from all of the above - the question marks are where I don't know the race name yet.
I will send the files off to Ron tonight (UK time).
