The Careful Wars
REGISTERED Version - 2.7
J Patch will be used.
See below to see how often the turns will go out.
Turns sent via Mime.
8 player game.
Intermediate player level.
Medium Universe.
Sparse Density.
Distant Player positions.
Accelerated bbs play.
There can be a winner by a player vote. See below.
At least 200 years must pass before a winner is declared.
In an average pocket universe in the unfashionable backwaters of the myriad
galaxies, several civilizations arose. When they finally decided to leave
their homeworlds in search of new frontiers and all that Roddenberry crap,
they discovered an unusual problem. A powerful energy swept through the
universe on a regular basis, disrupting communications between ships and
worlds. Every five years, this interference broke and governments were able
to issue new directives to their fleets and planets. Undaunted by such a
challenge, the hungry young races climbed out of their prehistoric muck with
intent on becoming the top of the universal food chain.
This game, The Careful Wars, will generate on a 72-hour maximum schedule.
Each generation will advance 5 years. This will remain in effect for the
entire duration of the game. The game can end by player vote at the 2600
generation (40 turns in) or players can vote to continue. A new vote will
be solicited each additional 100 years (20 turns) after that. Winners may
be selected by any criteria at the discretion of the players, including
economic, military, territorial, or other superiority. Team victories may
be allowed at the discretion of the players.
Known cheats are disallowed. Host is playing. Turns will be submitted via
Autohost. Send your passworded racefiles to bigEDog@prodigy.net with
"Careful War" in the subject line. If more than 8 players apply, I may
increase the size of the universe. Any player missing two consecutive turns
will be placed as inactive. Don't sign up if you don't intend to finish.
Due to the highly strategic nature of this game, I suggest that beginners
not apply. If you're not sure if you are a beginner, you are. If you join
anyway, good luck. You'll need it.

Attention all Careful Wars players:
The game will be delayed from starting (hopefully briefly) due to a serious hardware problem on my end. I hope to be up and running within 48 hours. If it is going to be longer, I will repost the game ad. Those of you who signed up, I will need your racefiles resubmitted as my entire address book (and hard drive, and motherboard, and datafiles, and...)bit the big one today.

Yup...made a backup on my external HD...which I normally access through my laptop...which don't work! And my wife's computer doesn't have the right slot (keep your dirty thoughts to yourselves!). Should be ok one way or another by tomorrow.
