-f races only. Non-playing host will verify.
All PRTs eligible. AR qualifies as a -f race.
[-f defined for game terms as cost 25 factory settings, or AR PRT]
JRC3/JRC4 on Autohost
Standard cheat disclaimer. Chaff allowed, split fleet allowed (be
reasonable please folks). All other cheats/abuses are not allowed. [see Stars! FAQ for a sample list]
Prefer intermediate skill level players. Hopefully, those willing to experiment with non-CA -f races as well. A beginner can try a CA if they wish since they "handle" easier. However, be warned that CA tend to draw the attention of alliances.
Generation Schedule: Tue-Sat 3AM GMT (M-F 10PM US EST)
# of players: Will try for 5-7 in the game; plus an observer race. If there are greater than nine entries I will start multiple games.
[added]
The observer race is to be set to 'friend' by all players. It will only occupy its homeworld, which is generally in a central galactic position.
[end add]
====
Victory Conditions
Highest score at 2500, or all resistence collapsing before that point.
Score Formula changes (ie. some tweaks)
o in-game scores a point for every 30 resources; I will score a point for every 50 resources.
o in-game caps points for cap-ships, escorts, and unarmed ships based on the number of planets held. I will score this based on the number of planets held, or 50, whichever is greater.
Alliances, tech trading, etc. allowed, but only *one* race will be declared the winner.
An in-game VC will be used to turn on PPS in 2490; this means the spotlight goes on 10 turns before the game end.
====
Galaxy:
Small, packed, distant starting positions, ACC BBS start,
public scores *off* [see above for special activation]
Note: RWIAB I was medium sparse. We're going for more compact set-up this time. 1/4 of the volume with about the same number of planets.
Passworded race files to following address:
t36zvbp02@sneakemail.com
Please include your password with the file so that race restrictions can be checked. Races that I cannot check will not be accepted.
Please also indicate your experience level. IF there are enough entries for multiple games I'll take experience level and race PRT into account.
If interested, send a race file in. I do not reserve slots in a game based upon a message indicating interest. Too much previous experience with people not following up.

What is the deadline for race files if any?

No specific deadline yet. Still too early to tell what the response is going to be. If the response is heavy than IIa might start late this week. Otherwise I don't expect to submit the game files until Sept 2 or so since Sept 1 is a US holiday.
- Kurt
P.S. - I also foresee the game(s) taking breaks in late November for half a week or so, and probably a full week between Christmas and New Year's.

I don't know if I'll have time to play or not.

Well, I'd like to play, but since I'm still involved in the 1st game I don't know if I'll have time. Plus I'm going away for a week starting next weekend. I guess I'll just be waiting for RWIAB 3....

RWIAB II submissions now closed.
I am *overwhelmed* by the level of interest. There will be three games submitted, each with at least *8* active races.
I expect things to be nasty early since in a small/packed that's about 30 planets per race. Be prepared.
Thanks for the interest and I hope the games go well.
- Kurt
P.S. - those who I contacted about race file issues are still considered entered. I just need to get the revised file by tomorrow.
