 This game is full and will start soon.

Fledging Admirals IV

Due to the popular demand for FA3 about 6 players haven't gotten a place and thus I am announcing the 4th game of the Fledging Admirals serial.

It's a pretty straight short game which is intended to lure back oldtimers (considering themselves beginner to lower intermediate) and to bring in new players. If a friend told you about the game and you are keen on playing but lack a serial code, there are unique serial numbers available from Ron who is also running autohost, look in the following thread: Getting serial numbers.

To make the battleground even, players experienced in the mean combat vs other humans will have to leave some leftover points in the race wizard (see restrictions).

Host is not playing and feel free to ask when you feel unsure about the conditions, Stars-version, abbreviations etc.

Game Info
Players: 6 - 9
Skill level: beginner - lower intermediate
Ranked: No
Version: 2.6 J rc4, 2.7 J rc3 (German)
Autohost: Yes
Turn generation: 5 turns a week (Tuesday-Saturday) up to year 2430, then 3 turns/week (Tue-Thur-Sat) as soon as requested by at least one player. Weekends and holidays off, if wished for we can make a break from 22nd Dec to 2nd Jan.
Host is playing: No
Universe size: Small Packed (240 stars in a 800x800-ly-universe), Distant Starting Positions
Starting conditions: ACC BBS
Victory conditions: Last Man/Last Team standing or consensus. Winning team mustn't exceed 2 players.

Game Rules
1) No pregame alliances which means that players should not get in contact before the game starts to optimize their race designs for a later alliance.

2) No cheats (except chaff and split-fleet dodge), for more info see the thread: Known Bugs (JRC3) - Player Exploitable Bugs / "Features" (or ask the host when in doubt)

3) Only one other player may be set to friend, and traded with at any one time, all others must be set to enemy. Only with your ally you may exchange tech and ships. You can change your ally after 10 years.

4) Restrictions depending on experience
Players which have already played Stars pbem games vs humans will have disadvantages by leaving leftover points in the race wizard and some PRTs (primary race traits) might be forbidden.

a) for beginners: (no Stars-experience vs humans or 1 game and soundly beaten)
* AR banned
* PP banned
* JOAT: 150 leftover points
Leftover points can be spent as you like.

b) advanced beginners (up to 3 games vs humans and always soundly beaten)
* AR: banned
* JoaT: 250 leftover points
* SD: 200 leftover points
* IT: 100 leftover points
* all other PRTs: 60 leftover points
Leftover points can be spent as you like except on mineral concentration.

c) for rusty oldtimers and lower intermediate:
* SD, JoaT: 300 leftover points
* IT: 150 leftover points
* AR: 0 leftover points
* all other PRTs: 100 leftover points
Leftover points can be spent as you like except on mineral concentration.

If in doubt where to sort yourself in, send me an email and ask.

Misc
* Germ starting concentration will be between 30 and 60.
* Inactivity: Players which have missed 3 turns will be set to inactive. I'll look for replacements if appropriate or may put in some last orders myself to upgrade the defenses but the game won't stop.
* No rule but especially new players I want to urge not to play in more than 2 games (better even only 1 game) of Stars. After turn 30 orders and thinking will consume time and a good game will be in the back of your mind all the time. It's more fun to play only 1 game but to do this one right. There are lots of great articles about Stars waiting for you to read and to inspirate you how to apply the newly gained knowledge or inspiration to this game and your specific situation.



If you are interested, please send to altruist (at) arglos (dot) net :
* the race file
* the password (none is needed but if you want to set one)
* your desired email address
* your nick at autohost
* a short note about your Stars-experience

We aim to start the game in about 2-3 weeks. I'll keep this post updated to display the players taking part.

Players so far (green with race file, red without race file, problems with race file):
1. Combat (beginner)
2. voodoo8476 (advanced beginner)
3. Dude (rusty oldtimer)
4. Redski (advanced beginner)
5. kaloth (beginner)
6. TheShadow7478 (rusty oldtimer)
7. Deuce (lower intermediate)
8. russl5445 (lower intermediate)
9. Coyote (rusty oldtimer)

waiting list:
smartaleq (beginner)
skoormit (lower intermediate)

Some players need more time to finetune their sent in race designs, so I am extending the deadline to Saturday, 27th Sept.
Since the host is not playing, I am offering the same service as in FA III: to give comments and suggestion on your race design.

Regards,
Altruist
