Hi guys.
Kicks got me to check the forums after quite a long time.
Iirc, there have been 3 games in the atsr series, but Xap|Bob and Skoormit will remind me Smile

I liked the ATSR concept quite a bit. Plain skill, a good dose of stars and decent schedule timing.
If you guys wait a month or two, then Slow Boat to China will be getting over and you'll have quite a lot of players who might be interested to join here.
Pointing out that any game that starts in December, will face xmas, new year, vacation plans for players, which means an auto-slow down.

Moving on, I find the musical chairs for races a tough thing to plan for.
How do you balance the final races, while taking into account the skill level of the player.
I prefer letting every player having the same race options (with the standard / custom race penalties).

Also, how do you factor in the new players that always emerge when a new game is announced Smile

I love new players coming and starting to play stars, but I don't want to join a game and spend a lot of time designing a race, playing the starting years, planning a long term strategy, only to find the game is decided on the other side of the universe in the starting 20 years by a player who eats a non-serious or a new player who is a weak neighbour.

My solution or comfort is by joining a game which is balanced by a good host.
So I prefer games where the host checks
>race designs and make sure no dead races come in. (simple as not many variations in this game design).
>sample test universe which makes sure you get 10k by 2430(yea, easier) + say 10 jihad BBs.
>Preferred known players

Player placing / race placing is another discussion, as I don't want all fast races next to each other, while all the HP races on the other side of the universe. I would prefer a mix, but that can be discussed a bit later.

Player 1 - Kicks
Player 2 - Lqdtr
Player 3 - Floater
Player 4 - nitrah
Player 5 - LittleEddie?
Player 6 - bretter?
Player 7 -
Player 8 -

I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.
