Critical Mass
Skill Level: Intermediate or less. (preferably no complete newbies)
A game where those who have jobs and lives outside of stars! can fight it out within the tight and limiting confines of only a few worlds. Average planet density is 11-14 planets/player. SinicalIdealist think's that this idea should allow the maximal amount of PRT and race design flexibility (w/ the exception of CA).
The game will be hosted on Autohost.
First turns will be daily up until approximately 2430.
From 2430 onward, generation will be Monday through Friday.
At 2460 it will be possible to begin voting for change to 3 gens per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), requiring a majority of remaining players to agree before changing.
Any player who misses more than 4 turns consecutively will automatically be switched to inactive.
Willing 3rd party hosts preferred. Otherwise, I will be hosting.
Universe Size: Variable
- 4-5 Players => Tiny packed
- 6-8 Players => Small Sparse
- 9-10 Players => Small Normal
- 11-14 Players => Small dense
Parameters:
- Slow Tech
- No Acc BBS
- Galaxy Clumping
- Private Scores (not public)
- Random Events
Restrictions:
- no cheats (you can use chaff and split-fleet dodge)
- no pregame alliances
- no CA
(ignore)Email confirmation to gibble at gibble dot net *(Gible only has one 'b' in it)(/ignore)

The difference is that this game will actually manage to get players, unlike mine. Though, I'm starting to consider that I may need to have closer to 15 planets/player to really give a good balance.

in their various garages. Then, faintly, I hear voices from another star.
(I clocked it once, and the reception is best between 3:00 A.M. and 4:45
A.M.). Of course, I don't usually tell people this when they ask, "Say,
where do you get your ideas?" I just say I don't know. It's safer."

If you want to sign them up faster, might help if you change your userid to a girls name and get a pretty icon to match.

Thats too funny to not repeat
