 Hi all,
it's time to host a new game. I won't be playing. If more than 6 players want to play, I might open Sixpack 4 too.

# of players: 6
Skill level: Intermediate and above
Ranked: No
Version: 2.6rc4
Autohost: Yes
Turns generated: Tu/Th/Sa morning. Faster if all players are in. Possible reduction to 2 turns per week if the majority of the players wants to.
If you need a pause, just ask the host - please do so at least two days before the deadline!
Host is playing: No
Universe size: Medium Normal, Distant Starting Positions
Starting conditions: ACC BBS
Victory conditions: Last Man standing or consensus
PRTs forbidden: none
There will be a penalty of 300 leftover points for CA (set to defenses) plus they may not take TT. JOAT may not take NAS and must put 100 leftover points to defenses. IT and WM will get a penalty of 100 points set to defenses.
Attention: Minefields are forbidden! (This rule might be skipped in Sixpack 4; SD will get a penalty of 100 points then though while WM will get no penalty.)

Special Rules:
- no cheats (except chaff and split-fleet dodge - please do not use split-fleet intentionally.)
- all players have to be set to "enemy"
- no alliances, no tech trading, no NAPs, no coordinated attacks
- no communication at all - ingame or outgame

All in all - a simple, aggressive game.
The game intends to start in about two weeks. Send your race files to andreas(at)studnitz.de.

 How will you determine the winner if no communication is allowed?

The "no communication" rule will only be between players - the players may communicate with the host Smile
Players may tell me that they see someone as winner, or I may ask them... This won't be a problem.

Please remove the dot behind ".de". andreas(at)studnitz.de. is not correct.

Thanks for your interest Smile

IT and WM will get a penalty of 100 points set to defenses.

Umm, do you mean IS for the first occurence of WM?

At least I'd put it on IS. Given enough time and room IS can become VERY nasty in the econ and warfaring department. In this game (48 planets per player) it will get both...

Okay, 100 points for both IT and IS.

Thanks for the hint.

 Hello Wizard,

Can you publish the final penalty schedule for PRT? Does WM still have a 100 point penalty? This would make some sense since minefields are prohibited (and WM doesn't get them anyway). Please let me know, as this could affect a few things for me.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

this one is correct:

There will be a penalty of 300 leftover points for CA (set to defenses) plus they may not take TT. JOAT may not take NAS and must put 100 leftover points to defenses. IS, IT and WM will get a penalty of 100 points set to defenses.

Fine, thank you.
No other special rules except those for all players.
The reason is that I consider you an absolute expert in playing HE, but I don't know how you do with another PRT.
