Hi folks,

In an effort to get more folks enjoying Stars!, I plan to host a series of 6-player games for beginners and intermediates. Hex II is for intermediates only. If you can't hit 25k (or even close to that) by 2450 please sign up for Hex I, the first beginner game.

Games will get off to a quick start, generation-wise, and will take place in small universes to encourage faster play. As soon as I get six race files I'll start the game. If more people want to play I'll create a second game.

Hex II

Hosting
Hosted on AutoHost
Host will not be playing

Players
6 players - if there's more interest I'll create another game
Intermediates only - if you can't get 25k by 2450, then sign up for Hex I for beginners

Generation time
24 hours for the first 25 years (2400 - 2424)
36 hours for the next 25 years (2425 - 2449)
48 hours for the remainder of the game (2450 onwards)

Game settings
Small/Normal/Distant
Slower Tech Advances
Public Player Scores
Accelerated BBS Play

PRTs
CA is banned
JOAT cannot select NAS

Victory conditions
Only one person can win.
Alliances are allowed during the game, but an alliance cannot win.

Cheats (copied from Kang's new game)
Cheating is not allowed. Look here for standard cheating rules
Chaff is a tactic, not a cheat.
Splitting a fleet to avoid pursuit is a tactic, not a cheat
Chaff sweeping is a tactic unless it allows a fleet to miss battle at it's destination.(Battle board overload)
Splitting fleets to a single destination to ensure the highest number cannot be targetted is a cheat, not a tactic. (i.e. - Having greater than 100 fleets at the destination so that the largest number is not able to be targetted..)

Get in the game
Send me an email right away to hold your place (bzzz <dot> oik <at> sbcglobal <dot> net -- replace with . and @ as necessary) Posting your interest in this forum (e.g. Count me in) will not reserve a place for you.
Send a race file without password (host is not playing) within 48 hours. If 48 hours passes without a race file being sent you may lose your place.

Let me know if I misses something or if you have any questions please post a reply to this forum.

Cheers,
Zoiker

Ummm you mean if you CAN'T hit 25k by 2450?

What criteria would you recommend as the top end of intermediate?

You are correct - I've updated the original posting. Thanks!

Good question; one I don't have a specific answer for. While this is far from the answer you're probably looking for, I'd say that if you consistently win the intermediate games you're playing in, then you're probably an advanced intermediate or advanced player.

I'm open to suggestions on a better definition if anyone has one!

Cheers,
Zoiker
