 Hahaha, hadn't linked the seeding with switching the races - neat twist. I don't think I have a problem with it, provided that we are aiming for a universe where the even and odd players (separately) are distributed at least vaguely evenly horizontally across the map. Also, donjon would have to keep the seed used secret from any players to avoid them from knowing the opponent homeworld names before the game ever started?

I expect donjon to keep the seed secret.

And, IIRC, the source computer (? seriel # key ?) of the race files (and host as well probably) does have an effect on the generation as well. So it would probably prove quite difficult/impossible for either side to recreate the galaxy set-up and know what all the HWs were in any case. (If this isn't true then it's something to keep aware of for the future.)

I don't distribute seeds, and due to the hybrid nature of seed it would not work with anyone else anyway. Very Happy

 Looks fine, but it might be better if we don't put deadlines on people we're asking favors from.


July 5th: Race submission deadline to donjon
donjon send team-specific half-universe schematics to each team
3 days later: Race ordering and homeworld/secondary positioning infomration submission deadline to donjon
Game files sent to Ron and game setup on autohost
2 days later: All initial turns submitted
next day: 8:00am everyone gets the first "Stars! Autohost EACvsERF.m?? for year 2401" email


Are we going with a fixed submission? or if everyone gets a turn in should it gen early?

 I'm all for the gen asap, so we will try it and see how it goes. If people are too slugish, I'll flip it to strict gens. After turn 30, it will be strict gen times regardless.

 EAC is obviously EA Canada - what's ERF?

 My understanding of AH gen times is:
Gen at a certain time
Gen so many hours after the last gen

And you can either:
Gen at that time
Gen at that time or when everyone has their turns in, whichever is sooner.

I prefer Gen at a certain time or when everyone has their turns in, whichever is sooner. It allows the game to go a bit faster if everyone gets their turns in early.

 Yes, I concur. To be specific: gen time will be 8am PST, with the "only gen at scheduled times" box not checked.

EACvsEarth
EACvsErf (to fit in 8.3 format)

 I emailed the races to donjon@btl.net.
If that is not the right email, let me know what is and I'll send it.

I'll resend them right now to that address, in case there was some other problem.

 I sent you an email - the files you sent me are not how this game needs to be set up. See the earlier posts on this.

 The game has started.

Hopefully there will be a forum set up soon for discussion of the game. My choice would be to allow anyone to post, so that people can ask questions etc. I suppose we can just start a thread in the Bar.

intra-team communication will not be done on these forums, both teams have other methods.
