<My bad - I'd lost the plot regarding the division of labor between game 'owner' and 'facilitator' for lack of a better term.>

That is understandable. Hopefully the two can work out the differences. What I hope more is that the game fills up or starts before my temptation gives in.

Particularly given my extended absence...

I don't think we have any significant differences to work out, I'm certainly looking for something more gentle than most schedules - NH put up a more common schedule.
I am grateful for the offer to remap and host, and particularly for the time he has put into to driving this thread in my absence.

5/week (and the GMT schedule is reasonable IMHO) is a decent starting rate...

HWs will be at about 300ly (looks like ~ 300 by 400ly per player by my rough calculations) which is actually within potential openning scanner range...
I could see diplomacy therefore appearing relatively soon, and given that there people in various timezones it is certainly possible for them to need more than one or two communications between turns, which may well push out to a 50 hour gen (2420+?)

168 hour turns (i.e. one gen per week) is not going to be needed for a while (at least until a couple of players are virtually eliminated), but going to e.g. Tuesday/Friday (0600 GMT) is plausible before 2470 (note that that is a fixed schedule approximation of 84 hours). Maybe 2450+?

Note that I would also generally rather have fixed gens (early gen if turns are in) than flexible, but that's a busy family life for you...

As for Kill Starbases - I suggest a closed vote, with any AR against counting double (and allowed to submit an alternate race if it goes against them).
I'm hoping NH would do the honours of counting...
