New game: Shielded Chaff Challenge (SCC)
Players: 4
Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Ranked Game: If the players are OK with it
Universe: Small, dense, distant
Settings: AccBBS on, PPS off
Victory:
Last man standing
Rules:
All armed ships *must* have shields from 2440 onwards.
Nubian hull banned.
Host will be playing an observer race (OWW warmonger).
Host must be set to "friend" and all other players to "enemy" from the start of the game.
No pre-game alliances
No restrictions on in-game alliances, although only 1 player can be the winner you'll all have each other set to enemy
Host must be supplied with race passwords.
Will be hosted on Autohost with turns generated every 26 hours max until 2430 then every 50 hours.
Skill level:
High intermediate to advanced. Players will be expected to be creative in their use of shielded chaff. Once the game is over I will start a discussion in the academy forum on the use of shielded chaff and the players will be expected to contribute what they have learned during the game.
When sending race files, players should supply details of games (against humans obviously) that they have won.
Cheats:
Chaff positively encouraged, though to comply with game rules it *must* be shielded
Split fleets allowed
All other "cheats" listed at http://library.southern.edu/sahforum/index.php?t=tree&th =348&start=0&rid=21&S=7ffa5ee15100bb4bb9506cc94c a65995 are banned
Host's rulings are final
Entry:
First 4 players to submit their race files, race password and HWF forum logon will be accepted. Details (and race files) should be sent to steve_leach AT yahoo DOT com
Ranking:
If all the players are OK with it then this will be a ranked game (see the Ranking forum). All players will be given the initial rank ("low intermediate") unless I can convince donjon that all players deserve to start at a higher level. The winner will be promoted and the first player knocked out will be demoted.
Game start date:
Hopefully the game will start sometime in early September, so there's plenty of time to play with race designs. Players will be free to send me updated race files as often as they like up until I send the files to autohost. The game will be created with a def file and I'll post the def file that I'll be using.
Other notes:
I've gone for 4 players only to keep diplomacy to a minimum as this is designed to be a war fighting competition. The Nubian hull is banned to keep missile BBs in play for as long as possible. The universe size is small so that the non-gatability of missile ships will be less of an issue and to keep the game fast.

I've received an email via HWF from "adalrymple" asking for contact details. My replies are getting bounced so my guess is that you have typed your email address wrong when setting up your HWF logon.
Send the files to steve_leach AT yahoo DOT com, replacing AT and DOT with the appropriate characters and removing the spaces.
Or Private Message me and I'll give you the email address in full.
