Might be interested. I like the schedule especially after the current pace of games but would also have to pull a Skormit and opt out if game is full communication. I could live with limited comm. IE in game messages sent to everybody and ship or SB names being ok.

@Skoormit
Impressed enough to change from tentative to confirmed Razz ?


Nope, not that impressed.

But I'll play if everyone wants to play it as a no-comms game.

Think of me as the weak silent type.



With No-Comms I would be willing to play, single victory, you against the universe

Mwuhahaha. The movement is gaining momentum.

Resistance is futile.

Re: Altruist
Thanks for that summarization.
Would you be interested in joining as well Smile ?


No, there are days in the week when I can't do a turn. So I usually need a 3 turn/week schedule after turn 30. Thanks for asking. Have fun.

I've never played a no-comm game, so I can't truly say I wouldn't like it - I just don't fully grok it.

Would it mean no alliances because you can't create a contract? And only posts to all members (or I guess that's the Limited Comm)...

basically a smarter AI game... with AI's not set to ally with each other.

No communication, no tech trading, no alliances, no crying wolf.

edit - Not talking about Milky way, but the other game being hosted by Neil. ( Fast and Silent )

heh..

Single winner, winner by consensus.

Host will be looking at the turns and will probably call for a vote between 2480-2500.
After that, the voting will decide if the game goes on or not.

That is unnecessary and unwanted. We can figure it out on our own. Just set the PPs to activate at 2500.

I always like active players.. Wink

Let me clarify:
I'll look at the turns and
A> if I want, I'll suggest a vote.
B> if the players want, they'll say yes or no (in more colorful language).

Consensus refers to a 5/5... that is everyone has the veto power to refuse to end the game and continue to play on.
The last man playing is the guy who wins.

Not too tough, is it?

Don't want to put in too many terms and clauses... so it's very player dependent.
Anyways, could add one condition .. no vote till 10 years have passed from the earlier vote.

I was just keeping the option open for me to call a vote.. but I don't HAVE to call for a vote.
To be frank, the longer the game goes on, the happier I am.
Any player can anyway call for a vote when the PPS turns on in 2500..

I am fine with the current race file deadline if everyone else is. If any of the first 5 players needs time to tweak their race based on a 6th player joining, I think they should get at least a 3 day extension. It is a small change so it should not be a big issue, but we want to be fair considering we were planning on a week to test their races based on the expected number of players. I will email Adam, James, and Victor to let them know there is a 6th. nmid, if you have Tomasoid's email, please send him a direct update (otherwise I will send him a pm).

Will do.

I would prefer if we stick to the deadline, if no one requires extra testing time, as that will allow me a sunday to gen all the universes and finalize the selections.
Doing it on a weekday is tough for me.

However, if any player does require extra time, we can extend the race deadline.

(edited out player list, see last post for update)
