Hi All! I would like to promote new game:
Name: Together Again (previous one called "Together Reload")
Type: Team Game for Beginners/Intermediate (beginner never became intermidiate if he play only againist another beginners)

Game settings:
- Universe Size - Medium
- Density - Normal
- Player Positions - Distant
- Other options unchecked (mean NO PPS, NO AccBBS and so on ...)

Game rules:
- Number of players - 9, Host is playing (I'm going to take AR race)
- Race restrictions - CA banned, other ok, only one player for each PRT allowed
- For players from "Together Reload" - you can't use PRT from previos game (just for fun)
- Cheats: chaff, fleet spliting - ok, other banned
- No pre-game alliances
- Game starts on autohost about 15-30 of June (I hope)
- Within 2430-2450 all players should find two allyers, ally can't be changed to the end
- Before 2430 all players should be in neutral position, within 2430-2450 two players should became friends other should became enemies
- Only union could win (if one ore more allyers survived)
- Turn generation: Mon, Tue, Wen, Thi, Fri - gen at 23:00. Sun, Sat - no gen
- 2400-2420 - two turn by one gen, 2421-... - one turn by one gen
- If player missed 2 turn in raw he is put inactive (became active after next uploaded turn)
- If player missed 5 turn in a raw - depend on stage (looking for replacement, or up to his allyes)
- Hold game on demand of any player

BTW: If there will more than 9 players found (as at least 6 players from "Together Reload" say they would like to take part), I going to change several rules:
- Universe size - became Large
- Number of players increased to 12
- CA still banned, second IT and SS banned too, so second AR, HE, WM, IS, SD, PP and JoAT allowed
- Additional restriction - all 3 races in ally should be different

So, I'm waiting for your passworded races ... at xyligun_@_mail_._ru (remove underlines before use)

FYI: I have played several games againist people 2-3 years ago and lost all of them, then last summer I'm back to Stars! and play my first game "Lesson from the past", which is not finished yet (but there are only two from 9 players still alive) and second game "Together Forever/Reload" at the same time - I won that game (it was my first victory). Now I would like to try smth new like game host and AR.

Welcome! I guess we need about several weeks to found all players, so you have enough time to test your race.

Current state:
AR - XyliGUN
JoAT - Mick
IT - Gorynych

other PRTs still free

Hi, Pote! First of all - nice to meet you again!

The offer. Give game generate "neutral man" for which it will be not important as we shall be located! He can be found at a forum.

"Lady, seems like you don't believe me?" (c) one old-old film
It's a pity to hear you don't believe me, especially after several games we played together (btw you always generate game yourself, and I never mind about), but ok - I've got you, and ... I decline your proposal. Why? Just because I going to use *.def file to create game.

As you can see on http://starsautohost.org/gamesnew.htm

If all players in the game wish to prevent the game host from having access to all game files then you may notify Ron that this is your concern and request that he create the game for you. If so, then please zip and send him all .r race files and a .def file so he can create the game automatically from the stars.exe command-line.

So guys don't worry I'm not a cheater, I have no chances to change your starting position. It's a game after all, and I'm going to get a fun as a first goal, and victory as second (keep in mind that I'm still beginner and I got AR as PRT for my race).

So, at the moment there are 8 players:
AR - XyliGUN (race created)
JoAT - owteufel (race received)
IT - Gorynych (no race)
IS - IceBird (race received)
SS - q974739 (no race)
WM - jrbuller (no race)
SD - Pote (no race)
?? - Mike (no race)

still waiting for 1 or 4 more players and start. It's great that we found 8 players within 2 days since game posted!

BTW: While we still waiting - could anyone explain me what does "SAH Game Host" sign on the left of some users mean? Does it mean they hosts a lot of games? I searching forum for this, but no explaining found. For example: Pote hosts several games, but have no such sign. Just interesting to know.

I'd love a chance to play in this game. I'll take the WM slot, if that's OK. jrbuller

Yes, that's definitly ok!

2All players: my email account have strictly anti-spam server-side filters, so if you receive message saying "no such mailbox", contact me via forum, I'll fix the problem. It's important to be sure in direct email contact till game started.

So, 8 + 1 players so far:

1. AR - XyliGUN (race created)
   
2. JoAT - owteufel (race received)
   
3. IT - Gorynych (no race)
   
4. IS - IceBird (race received)
   
5. SS - q974739 (no race)

12. One of <HE, WM, IS, SD, PP, JoAT> - STILL FREE
    

A bit advertisment: IMHO (at least I found that for me) playing in team much interesting than playing alone - just because you could exchange Stars! knowlege more intensivly inside your team. So, Join to our Team Game! You'll have a fun!

Still waiting for more Beginners/Intermidiate

Would a complete newbie (I've never played against humans, only against AI) be welcome as the HE player? If so, I'd like to be the HE.

Welcome! I guess you became more skilled after that game!

Also guys what do you say if our game bacame Ranked Game(details here)? This allow us find more players easily, all of you got your first rankings (some of you already have one) and also winning team increase their ranks in ranking table of honor (btw owteufel's current ranking is 'B', icebird - 'IL'). So, if you don't mind I switch this game to Ranked Team Game. Comments?

Anyway, we are waiting for 2 players more and game starts!

Current standings are:

1. AR - XyliGUN (race created) - ranking Ok
   
2. JoAT - owteufel (race received)
   
3. IT - Gorynych (no race)
   
4. IS - IceBird (race received)
   
5. SS - q974739 (no race)
   
6. WM - jrbuller (race received) - ranking Ok
   
7. SD - Pote (no race)
   
8. PP - Mike (race received)
   
9. HE - crr65536 (race received)
   
10. AR - UML_Dan (race received) - ranking Ok
    
11. One of <HE, WM, IS, SD, PP, JoAT> - STILL FREE
    
12. One of <HE, WM, IS, SD, PP, JoAT> - STILL FREE

We need just one player to go! 6 of you confirmed that Ranking Game is Ok for you and I guess others don't mind, so to speed up last man searching process I switch this game to Ranked Team Game. If one of you mind about say today or never.

PS: As we just need one player to go - it's time to create, test and send to me your races!

I'd like to play JOAT if the slot is still empty. I assume we're talking J RC 3? Will send race in a few minutes....

Yes, you could use JRC3 (autohost use JRC4, but this is ok because difference only in host part). A bit advice if you are new to autohost and/or Stars! multiplayer game check PRT JoAT area here to get some tips about race design (IMHO the biggest beginners problem is bad race design). You have time to tests and possibly change your race.

Congradulation! We did it! All players here:

1. AR - XyliGUN (race created) - (not ranked yet)
   
2. JoAT - owteufel (race received) - (Beginner)
   
3. IT - Gorynych (no race) (not ranked yet)
   
4. IS - IceBird (race received) - (Lower Intermidiate)
   
5. SS - q974739 (race received) - (not ranked yet)
   
6. WM - jrbuller (race received) - (not ranked yet)
   
7. SD - Pote (no race) - (not ranked yet)
   
8. PP - Mike (race received) - (not ranked yet)
   
9. HE - crr65536 (race received) - (not ranked yet)
   
10. AR - UML_Dan (race received) - (not ranked yet)
    
11. IS - ForceUser (no race) - (Beginner)
    
12. JoAT - Macedon (race received) - (not ranked yet)
    

We need just several races to go (see red lines)! Guys it's time to drop your race into my mailbox. Peoples who didn't send me race emailed, so waiting a bit more. Going to prepare def file and message to donjohn about ranking.
