It is time for me to host a game strictly for beginners. Give me a show of interest and I will come up with something fun.
Please tell me:
1: Do you know what a "monster" race is?
2: Can you consistently reach 25k resources by 2450 in a small packed AccBBs uni with no other races?
3: Can you produce at least 50 Arm BBs by 2460 in a small packed Acc BBs uni with 1x expert Cybertron, Macinti, and Robotoid?
4: If you were in a duel with another human player and found their HW in 2412, how would you go about setting up an alpha-strike?
5: Have you played more than 3 games against humans?
6: Have you ended a game as part of a winning alliance (against other humans)?
If your answer is "no" or "idk" for *any* of the above, this is the game for you. Please send your response to my gmail account Damarae1.
Before we start the game I would be happy to play a practice duel with each player, where I archive all turn files, and supply a turn by turn post-game commentary of what I did (and why), as well as a critique of your strengths and weaknesses (liberally peppered with run on sentences and comma splices  ).
I have several experienced players ready to help you with race design, whole game strategy, and general coaching.

Two months have passed since I made that comment.

I must amend one of my answers, as I remembered something that might be construed as breaking it.
I have technically played 4 games against humans. The first was aborted before 2420, because it was 4 players in a large/packed and everyone rapidly realised how silly this was. The second one (4 players in a medium/dense) I could be considered to have "won" because due to a really weird diplomatic situation (see below), everyone but me dropped, despite my possessing maybe 1/5 of the galaxy and only just having started gearing up for war (it was mid-2460s IIRC).
I didn't consider the first of those a "real game" or the second a "real win" for those reasons.
Really weird diplo situation:
I was playing an HP TT CA, one of the other players a wide-hab 0i HE, a third an HP IT, and the fourth a 6% 3i HE.
Early on, I allied with the 0i HE and the IT against the 3i HE. However, both of them spent about 20-30 turns planning to backstab me after realising how big my resource curve was going to get. I convinved the 3i HE player to backstab them in turn and ally with me, upon which the 0i HE and IT both dropped despite holding over half the universe and my only offensive being completely abortive. So with the game thrown so much by that and thus not particularly wanting to continue, the 3i HE and I decided that I won due to my currently higher score than him.
