Plain Vanilla 2018 refuses to die, because my players are awesome sentient beings! Yet there's no reason (save sanity) not to start ANOTHER game while I'm refereeing this one. So here it is!
If there's interest, I'm down with hosting a medium (6-10) player game. I'm thinking about something like Pentacles, with each race starting in a small pocket of planets, and a large bucket of planets in the middle. Thoughts?

What about a team game? A team of 2 at each corner of the pentacle? All others must be set to enemy?

Starting clusters: I would be betting on 10-15 planets per small pocket, 20 if it's a team game. I'll whip up a map in a sec, but it'll be a visual only.
Races: I'm good with No CAs, or JOATs with NAS.
If we do teams though, it would require an even number of players. At least 10 for a pentacle. I'm more open to single players, with a minimum of 5 players to start, cap at 8 players max.

I was thinking that people could enter as teams, and design their races together, rather that being randomly paired with someone.

Okay, I think we've got enough for a no-comm team game. @projectstupid if you look in the Hosting forum, you can see a method to make your own galaxy that might give you an idea of how this one would play.
As for rules, I'd base it off of the Duo's.
Race restrictions, CA and IT are banned, Joat cannot take NAS. You cannot take HE factoryless. This means you cannot have factories worse than the default of 10/10/10 and no GR above 10(20). Races that have previously been banned from DD's will be banned in this game.
All races other than your teammate must be set to enemy. No communication with anyone other than your teammate.
No tech trading with anyone other than your teammate. Only one race per player, you can however submit your ally's turn if necessary.
Race names, including the plural version must be unique
Other game settings are as follows:
- Distant players position
- AccBBS
- random events off
- PPS off until 2500.
Standard cheat disclaimer, which means that the following cheats are allowed:
- chaff
- split fleet dodge
- merge fleets after gating
- Mine damage dodge
0800 GMT every day through 2430. After 2430 the game will switch to M-W-F. After 2475 the game will switch to M-Th.
Condition of victory, PPS being turned on at 2500 and then a vote. If there is no clear victor, keep playing until there is a clear victor by vote.
Universe will be medium dense, with clusters of ~20 planets at each player start.
There will be 5 or 6 teams of 2 players. You will start next to your teammate.

1: Shouldn't it be "Can't Stop, Won't Stop"? Is that a Miley Cyrus reference? If so, I rescind my complaint.
2: Any idea how many greens/yellows we would get in our initial cluster?
3: Completely on-board with "Daily" meaning "M-F".

Does "medium" refer to the number of players or to the size of the universe?
Or plainly asked: What will be the size of the pentacle universe?
For reference:
Sparse Normal Dense Packed Size
Small 96 128 160 240 800 x 800 ly
Medium 216 288 360 540 1200 x 1200 ly
Large 384 512 640 910 1600 x 1600 ly

I votes for team, via email, so clearly not all the votes are counted yet. Not that I expect a team game to win at this point...
