Ok, count me in as experienced. Iojho, if you have a good memory, you already know my standpoint regarding 50 points penalty.

Give these guys some penalty points! Us "less experienced" (read beginners) need all the help we can get.

Ok we have 8 players! Cool Prepare your races and send them to Wizard! Deadline is 1 November!

Yes, I remember our recent discussion on point penalties, more or less. The conclusion was that penalty, so that it works, should amount to as many as 100 RW points Shocked

Perhaps you are right. But take into consideration that it is judgmental who gets penalized, and I do not know the level of every player in our community. This is only assessment based on players preferences and my general view who leaves RW points and who does not. It means that I can be wrong and someone who is experienced enough should have got penalty but we can find it out only during the game. This is why I decided to use handicaps of 50 RW points only - just in case I made wrong assessment. It is not to many but on the other hand the penalty of 50 RW points is not nothing.

I believe we do not repeat LOS - FOW again where we ended up after 50 turns or so only! Here we have completely different conditions! I hope the game is going to be more balanced so ther is no need of penalties amounting to 100 RW points.

Thanks for joining Smile

Ok, SaxMeister and Traveler (definite beginners), if you want you can take JOAT with no restrictions and it is advisable! This is all I can do in order to help you.

Moreover, read and TEST a lot!!! Test not only your races but also your play style. Try to squeeze everything out from the race. Practice colonists growth management it is very important. While preparing the race, think when you want to build your first fleet and what ships you want it to be consisted of. Try to be managed to produce colloidals (DDs or even CCs) before 2430 at minimum.

Please do not prepare HP if you are newbie! HG is perfect for the first time IMO.

And be aware of Per! Laughing

SaxMeister & Traveler,

If you need assistance while preparing the races and also during the game I believe that you can ask Wizard for an advice.

I was thinkg about it today after we got 8th application. The truth is that in the original game announcement I wanted to get up to 12 players. That would be perfect.

However, yesterday I decided to stay with 8 players and I do not want to change it now, i.e. a week before the game generation. This week is to get time for preparing the races. For this purpose the players need to know what are the game conditions. In particular, the most important are game parameters such as size, density and number of players. I want to keep the game in medium / normal universe. With 8 players there are 36 planets per player. If to increase the number of players to 10 then there would be 29 planets per player which makes the difference while preparing the race.

I will take 1 player more as a substitute player if someone of us do not send the race on time.

Yes I know that I said only 8 players but I want to change my mind and take Galine as well if no one is against. Nowadays it is hard to find players so everyone willing to play is appreciated. Moreover, I guess the starting positions in universe with 9 players are laid out more fairly than with 8 players.

But now the game is full definetly.

Welcome Galien! Smile

Remember, the deadline is 1 November!

Okay, two races are in.
Please send the race files to me at andreas(at)studnitz(dot)de. You don't need to set passwords as iojho won't see them, I'll generate the game and send it to Ron.

I recommend that beginners send their race file to me soon so I can give some tips - if they haven't done so already Smile

Regards,
Andreas / wizard

Hi

Sorry. Works been trying to kill me this week.
You should have my first draft now.
Might update later when/if I/andreas find the glaring mistake in my race design.
