Hi,

Due to a nice 2 week holiday driving around europe starting next weekend I'm looking for someone to babysit my empire for that period. The position is a SD, its in a reasonable condition, and things are getting interesting politically. So might be fun.

Anyone interested I would be very grateful and willing to reciprocate in the future.

Kind Regards

Drew

Hi it's Tuomas, your Stars! salesman.

I'm getting rid of one of my web-hosting services. Stockmann Academic Bookstore's Stars! sales page http://www.kolumbus.fi/tuomas.seijavuori/stars/ is moving to a new address: http://stars.lelv30.net/ . I noticed I wasn't using it for anything else and because I have other (and better) hosting services I decided to stop paying for the old one. It will still work for a while, but please update your links now. Thanks!

We're still getting a steady flow orders almost daily (5 copies sold today). Amazing how long a game can live, isn't it!

Kind regards,

Tuomas Seijavuori

Hi,

It seems time has finally caught up to me. After struggling so long to keep up with my Stars! commitments and a number of other parts of my life, I've finally had to bow down and accept that playing four games at much is too much.

So rather than pawn any particular game off to someone, I'm going to leave it to you to choose which race you'd like to take over.

I would probably like to hand over 2 races, but I think I should be able to get by for a while with 3 races.

Game names, race names and descriptions follow:

Capture the Flag (Medium-Dense): The Naphtas. I can't divulge many details about this race at this stage, as it's quite early in the game. It is a team game, and the support of the team members are phenomenal. The private forum makes for a very intriguing experience. I would recommend this one to someone who's had somewhat of an experience with Stars!. Race is 'religious' themed.

Quite All Right (Tiny-Sparse): The Kurtzers. I host this game, and I won't be giving up that duty, should a person apply for this race. QAR is a tiny-sparse game with an extreme-right hab race requirement. The game is won by occupying at least half of the homeworlds. The universe largely consists of SD races with a few varieties. My own is a max-growth IS race. It is now becoming very, very interesting, and whereas a couple of turns ago I was in first place, I have dropped back to 4th place. Nothing that can't be recovered without some effort. I would recommend this to someone with a strategic and creative mind as there is a minimal amount of MM and a huge amount of strategy required. Race is themed after Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now.

We are all the Same (Huge-Normal): The Outsiders. This game is AR-only and is suitable for someone who wants to start out in Stars!. My race was rather slow to start as I chose a minimal amount of helpful LRTs but it is becoming stronger and anyone who would love the chance to dig into some MM and get things into order would appreciate this race. If you want to play AR as a race to win and not as a race to be a slave to other races, then you would be interested in this game. Nice neighbours too. The race is, umm, 'outsider' themed, as in not exactly the easiest to communicate with. I've been playing down that part recently though.

Zared 2 (Huge-Dense): The Settembrinis. I want to give this to someone who wants to invest their time extensively into it, because the race is in first place and still accelerating. Although it is 2460, slow tech advances have made everything slower, so it feels more like about 2445, I believe. I am in an excellent position, largely because it is CA, and I lead in resources and tech levels. I have taken care with this race and managed it excellently, and I've got good relations with my neighbours. I am in the process currently of gobbling up some nearby weaker races and now is a very interesting time. This is probably the one I'm least inclined to give up because it's the one I have the most fun in, despite being the one that takes up the most of my time. Still, if you feel that you would love the chance to play a race like this, I could be interested. Race is themed after a Dune-like House society, I suppose.


I am not engaged in any major wars in any game besides maybe QAR (but there the universe has always been in constant turmoil), although each race is reaching a point where war could break out.

If anyone is interested in taking over any particular race, I will of course give you the .h files and passwords, and I'll step you through a couple of the turns to get you up to speed on what's happening. I use MSN ( djhakase@the-popular-MS-web-mail-service ) and ICQ ( 13956049 ). You can PM me or email me at djhakase@bigpond.net.ua - switch the last two letters.

Definitely *no more* than two games at one.

1: I want to make changes to several ships, the mini bomber made into a mini-morph , increased cargo space to the colony ship to 25,000 colonists and an improved cruiser and the Ultra-Freighter, a freighter with weapons 5,000 KT of space, this replaces the mini-morph given to you by the MT.

Hello all,

I hope this is the right board to post this... I already posted on RGCS and a french board [and starbase delta] but no interest showed up so far. If not, sorry...

This is a large game with only 4 players left, on autohost. I am in 1st position with a AR race, currently at war, almost full tech available (no really interesting MT toy however, so far) - year is 2507.

Enemies are #2 an IT quite powerful and #3 a SD not very skilled. My race is quite in good position to win although AR, so it is an interesting position to play. Not everyday you can play a grown up AR with his mineral fountain flowing up!

Only downside is *huge* MM, reason why I am quiting the game, and the only one, because I would really like to finish it. Real life took over. (I just didn't expected to survive and strive when I joined, I just wanted to give a try to AR)

So if you have plenty of time, are interested in this game and race, this is for you! I expect skilled player (preference with some experience with AR) so the issue of the game is not pre-determined for the IT to win. The player is quite skilled. Basically it is a duel between the IT and the AR with some annoyance with the SD and a small JoaT trying to survive.

For more details and if you are interested, please write to me at yfrita -at- yahoo -dot- fr

Hope someone around there is ready to take on the challenge!

I tend to play with public player scores turned off, and victory conditions set that will never trigger (as we tend to use other criterion).

Was chatting with one of the players and trying to discuss where he's going wrong resource-wise, and wanted a comparison graph of resources for the game.

Well, I'd been wondering what I was going to do with my recently-mapped PlayerScoresBlock.

So I've added a new standalone script to TH that you can use to create a graph of player resources.

Still need to clean it up a bit, but given likely no one will ever use it but me, that's probably not a problem!
