I think you may have at least 5 players Smile as I sent my request to join this game after I had seen it on The List.

One little thing, I haven't sent any race-file yet (figured I'd wait until I knew more about what size and density would be used). If I'm holding up the game or something just throw a kick in my direction.

No problem. You're already part of the game list. I'll let you know when to send the file. I've been pretty lazy about reposting so far. Smile

Also, changed to high intermediate or better since advanced+ will likely never get any players. Basically, 25k by 50 in a test shouldn't be an issue. Best if you've managed to get above 50k by 50 at least once.

Better yet, 50k by 50 with Slow Tech and NO AccBBS. Better yet, 50k by 50, slow tech, no accBBS, in a REAL game (medium universe or smaller, more than 2 players). Anybody can brag about such an achievement?

Just curious.

AFAIK CA is about the only race capable of doing that under such conditions. The AccBBS start accelerates HG race by about 7 turns. That means you'd need to have 50k res with an AccBBS start at about turn 43. That's A LOT. One'd need really BIG amount of luck with planet draw to pull this out with any other (playable) design.

Most over 50k by 2450 races are usually flawed for real play. The explanation was probably meant to avoid cluelesses who cant handle even basic economy management. Its uninteresting to fight with these since their military management is even worse. Wink

This should be doable for CA, JoaT, IT, and HE.

I've only ever bothered to do it w/ CA and Joat though. My max w/ CA is 172k (iirc) by 50 w/ acc BBS (50k by 43 wasn't an issue Wink ). W/ a design I would consider using in a real game, w/ W-cheap, I've hit 115k by 50 in a small packed test. Best w/ joat was around 90k by 50. All test beds have been done w/ acc BBs. Most games I play are slow tech though.

Just sent this out to the 5 players I have:
Quote:

Should we wait for more players to join or start the game ASAP? Up to you guys. If no-one dissents I'll send the files to Ron as soon as I have them all and keep the game open to more players until I send them.

Player order will be:
1 Gakl
2 ammoncircuits
3 Sven
4 Bret
5 Mario

Unless 3 new players magically appear the game specs will be:
Small, Sparse, Distant, Slow Tech, NO Accbbs, Galaxy Clumping, PRIVATE scores, RANDOM Events

So far I have race files from ammoncircuits(I need the password) & Mario Veilette so get testing and send me those race files guys Smile Updated race files are ok too.

Please include the following two lines in your email:(with the appropriate
substitutions of course)

Player # - Preferred Name - Race Name - Email address - password

The email address you supply will be the one that I submit to autohost (the one autohost will use to send you turn files or notifications.) It can be different from the one you send me the race file from.

I like the settings! But I am in 2 games right now, and both seem to go down the drain (are over before someone won due to several stupid reasons... mostly unreliable players).

If they really end, I would like to join, and I guess I can add some other really good players... Can you give it a week or two?

There are advanced players out here, I guess some dont read the forum often, did you try "the List" or the Google-Group?

It was posted to The List twice dunno about rgcs.

The game is due to start as soon as I get all the race files, which I suppose means when the current players have had enough of waiting for new players. But I doubt they'll mind waiting a couple of weeks.

Reminds me tho...I should make sure the players I do have race files for are still in and haven't given up waiting and gone elsewhere.

Welcome Pierre Smile

Great response from the roll call, everyone is still playing...Just need a few race files. See Below.
Robert may also wish to play, if his current games finish in time/we take long enough to start.

Two thoughts, one: we can wait for him before we start. or two: since its the beginning of the game, and he probably knows already everything he'll want to be doing, I'm happy to enter his orders for a few(<6) turns, given precise instructions. Something like:
2400:set research to 0%,Elec.Queue 100 factories,autobuild 50 mines, design "Rover" (frigate,IS10,3 heavy mines,dolphin scanner).
2401:Queue 3 Rovers,Genesis Device
2402:...

Oh goodie. Now I'll have more opportunity to change my mind another 10 times on my race file and PRT. Don't be alarmed if you receive a random flurry of files from me.

Ah I was wondering about that and was about to send you an email to see what the status was.

i've been playing around w/ at least 3 other races and am considering throwing in something a little different for ####s and giggles. Smile

(edit insert) Just saw your post to War of the Worlds. I can't let you play in No Impact. Sorry but this game is for Intermediate+ players only and however skilled you are against the AI, I can assure you that human opponents are a whole different ball game. Good luck with WotW tho Smile(/edit insert)

In reply... Below is what I just sent this out the the players. Perhaps I was slightly premature, because if you're not the new player "Alpha Stars" then the game parameters will shift to:
Small, *Dense*, Distant, Slow Tech, NO Accbbs, Galaxy Clumping, PRIVATE scores, NO RANDOM Events

If you're not Alpha Stars I suggest you email me a race file ASAP and be sure to include a line like this in your email:
Player # - Preferred Name - Race Name - Email address - password

Its a race between your race file and the two passwords I need to start the game! Laughing Nah...I'm sure they won't mind waiting a few extra hours.
