The Game: Lowtek

Rules:
Game setup:
- Large Normal
- Distant starting positions
- No AccBBS
- No PPS
- Random events on
- Slow tech

Racial restrictions:
- JoAT (100) and CA (200) take (points) penalties - to be set to defences (unless penalty exceeded by 50 points)
- Weapons tech must be expensive
- No pre-game alliances

Playing rules:
- "Kill Starbase" battle order is banned
- Standard cheat disclaimer:
- - Split fleet/chaff/heal after gate all allowed
- - Min damage not allowed
- - - No building* alpha/beta ships after 2450, or your race has jihad tech. whichever is earlier
- - - To start a second torpedo slot on a SB the first slot must be full
* You don't have to scrap what you already have

Communications:
- In game meeting before communications allowed
- Victory conditions have not been discussed either, so we will use the 2 player victory condition common to most stars games.

The facts as I now know them.

In about 2439 one player decided to quit playing, he gave his race and upload password to his ally and with the OK of the host played both turns.

In about 2457 a new player took over for the lost player.

None of this was made known to the other players in the game until after the new player took over. We did not know of the alliance or that One player was playing two races.

My question for the bar is:

Don't I as a player have the right to know who I'm playing against?

There are a lot of side issues that the players will bring up. But for me it's about TRUST! I'm I playing on a level field?
