With 2 veteran players interested im trying to recruit 2 more so that there is one vet per team. If this can be done it would be the best for team balances and the best way for newer players to learn how to play efficently.

Well, I have definately played more than 12 games. I do not even have the files any more so I am not sure how many.

I know that Micha and Gianluca and I were a very tough team to beat, and almost never lost team games.

I did win a few individual games also.

I think that I would be considered a vet.

However, I am a bit rusty. I have not even installed Stars! on my new system yet... it has been so long that I forgot my password, and all the cookies expired. I had to reset my password!

All that said, I am interested, but I do not know if I can do it yet. Buy the end of this week I should know. If I get this new big contract I will be swamped for 2-3 months. (Hew Micha, remember Swamp?)

I believe I have 12+ games now - not quite sure. However, I have had only one game in a team (still still still going).

I am interested, but I am in few other games that I will have to finish. When will you be starting? I don't think I can handle another large MM game right now - mentoring takes lots of time.

Slow tech is to compensate for the fact that each race really needs only 2.0 tech for the whole team to have 6.0 tech which would make ship designs obsolete to fast for the 16 slots we have for them, and there would never really be a war if you knew that the 5 or so turns it took to build, gather and move an attack strike was pointless when the enemy just gained between 5 and 15 techs in those turns making your ships cannon fodder before they even arrive.

I can confirm - am good to go with this game.

Perhaps we can get our game mates early - there are some strategy and design decisions (not to mention testbeds) that need to be done. tks

With 4 wins, I think we should consider you a "veteran" Smile

p.s. Was Bab5v2 one of the "wins"?

Added restriction of Veteran player not able to choose group 1 race, leaving it open for a less experianced team mate to play.

Team 1
ccmaster (can not choose group 1 race)
slimdrag00n
kaloth

Team 2

chaosknight

Team 3
Orange (can not choose group 1 race)
beanspoon
oldmetalhead

Team 4
Raindancer or Alex the Great (can not choose group 1 race)
Xardre
camel

Teams 1, 2 and 3 can start race development. Team 4 will wait till sunday to hear from Raindancer if we havent herd from him by that time then Alex the Great will be playing in his place.

I will give till January 25 for race development so please have your races to skoormit (timrooks at gmail dot com) by then.

Due to HW remapping universe creation may take some time so game may not be up on AH till mid Feb. HW's will be remapped so that teammates are closer to each other then to enemies.

Good Luck to all players Smile

True communication would be nice, however since less then half those who were looking to play posted there time zone I just picked the teams more on a skill level balance then time zone. If all players will post their time zones I am more then willing to re shuffle the teams so long as it keeps the skill levels balanced.

Not sure when I'll be on next. Getting hammered with a blizzard (25-30 cm of snow and 60-80 km winds) and I've already lost my computer Internet so all I got is my iPhone LOL

Well, I got Stars! installed and Oh My it has been a long time. Shocked

And I have not yet heard from my client, and I do not know how long it will be before I get an answer. Crying or Very Sad

So I have a suggestion. Let Alex play, and I can mentor the team. I have played quite a few team games so there are probably a few suggestions that I can make. I will not play turns or make submissions (unless I sub for someone for a while, when they are on vacation or something).

Thoughts?
