I say no IT and no PP because second worlds throw a wrench in the works for remapping. IT also banned because way too OP in a long game. No ACC BBS helps AR and HE to diversify races. Joat should not be allowed to take NAS, but should have to pay a cost equal to the boost they would have got if they did (eg ~60 points set to defense) and only ~66% scrappers. IS should probably get something like 25 points set to defense and 75-80% scrappers. If a race takes NRSE, their scrappers get DDL7s instead of RadRams.

This is the kind of game I would like to host; I might not have the time I would want to put in playing a game for the next season, but I can commit to the time required for monitering and maintanance duty of hosting. I would love to play this type of game, but hosting is almost as good IMO.

I think daily turns, or max 22 hours are best practice for the first 2-3 weeks (3 weeks @ 22hour max = ~23 gens or the equivalent of ~2412 in ACC BBS standards). At that point a fixed non-strict (meaning everybody in causes a gen) schedule of M, T, W, Th, F around 7pm PST (1am GMT T, W, Th, F, Sa after BST ends). Once we have more than 3 players with >15k Res, or a cumulative total of 20 cap ships on the board, vote can be called for reducing to 3 times per week. IMO, the best games have gone daily for as long as possible, and I have played maybe a dozen non-blitz that kept daily gens through 2500 and beyond. But I know not everybody can make that commitment, so the compromise. Having no-comms or 2 player team no-comms hugely reduces the potential time requirements involved.
