Ok with 7 players to start.

I'm okay to start with 7.
I'd also like ManicLurch to either edit his initial post or add a new one with the current rules mods. Right now the changes in thread from that in the original post include allowing Delta Torpedos (and later Torpedoes as well, I assume) on ships and allowing any Torpedos on Starbases as long as a starbase slot is filled with Torpedoes before starting another slot with Torpedoes. Changing the WM PRT's penalty to only 25 RW points left in Defenses was discussed but not agreed to.

Reading the threads in the Bar I see there's a returning Stars! player: Raindancer.
I've asked him if he's interested in joining SAS7 as the eighth player. I'd like to give him a chance to decide.

Well we waited a few days, neither Raindancer or anyone else decided to join. I am going to use my vote to say that we start with 7, which gives us 4 votes to start with 7, a majority.
Final game rules:
Players: 7 players
Universe: Small, normal, distant, SLOW TECH, ACC BBS, No random events.
Victory: 100% consensus vote from remaining players, alliance win possible (but limited to two).
Schedule: M-T-W-T-F until at least turn 30. Move to M-W-F when at least two players have requested a slowdown.
Race Limitations: ALL races MUST take weapons expensive and the Bleeding Edge Tech LRT. Joat cannot take NAS. Races will be verified by the third party prior to start. Other race restrictions:
HE banned
CA, No OAs or retro bombs. Cannot take TT, 50 points leftover to defenses.
Joat cannot take NAS, 25 points leftover to defenses
IT - 25 points leftover to defenses
WM - 50 points leftover to defenses
Special Rules: NO TECH TRADING ALLOWED. No scrapping, no pop dropping allies for tech gain, no wolf-lamb. You may trade ships to other players, but if scrapping those ships would produce tech gains, they may never be scrapped (design may be deleted, however). Sending an "observer" ship to watch a battle in hopes of gaining tech is allowed, as long as the battle is between enemies. You cannot pop drop an ally to exchange planets, the planet must be vacated and recolonized.
No alpha or beta torps allowed on any ship. Delta torps and up are allowed on ships. All torps are allowed on starbases, but you must fill up a slot of torps on the starbase before adding torps to another slot. Minimum penalties will be the deletion of ships. If this ships caused a battle outcome to be different, or if it was deemed intentional then a banning of turns will be the punishment.
Gaining tech through legitimate battle with enemies (in space or through invasion, pop drop) is allowed and encouraged, however.
NO PRE-GAME ALLIANCES ALLOWED. This ruins the game for everyone.
Cheats allowed: Healing after gating, chaff, split-fleet dodge. All other cheats forbidden (cheap starbases, etc).

Quote:I am interested, Is a spot still open?
Yes, you are the 8th player. Get your race file in to Marduk as soon as you can.
Quote:Well, if game rules changed we should get at least a little time to change races maybe. I must think a bit about it, i should be ready tomorrow with my final race
That is fine, get your revised race files in to Murdock by tomorrow please if anyone wants to revise their files.

I'm glad that I still remember my password!
Regarding email publishing, I'll just preemptively throw mine out. I'm at coyote27 at gmail dot com, or notorious_C27 on skype, if anyone feels like diplomaticising once the game starts.
I'll try to be more respectful of diplomatic convention than the UK these days.
Is it okay if I request the first turn's game files to be emailed out to the players so that we'll have turns ready to go immediately when the game appears on AH? It could save a day or so, and make the anticipation a little easier on us...
