Hi,

I would like to point out that one of the claimed advantages for SS in this game setup isn't there.

It has been said that because everyone has weapons expensive, the SS gets a lot of points into weapons from their spying bonus, but the SS also has weapons expensive, so they also need more points to advance in weapons. In this game setup, SS has the same setting for weapons as everyone else, and in a normal game (assuming everyone takes weapons cheap in a normal game), SS also has the same setting for weapons as everyone else, so there is no difference in that regard, as the increased spying bonus is directly proportional to the increased cost.

Of course, in a no-comms games SS has an advantage in their better intel gathering abilities, and since tech trade is impossible in this game setup, their spying bonus is more of an advantage than in games where tech trade is possible, so this game setup does favour SS, which may be why all SS races in the last game were in dominant positions. However, it cannot be ruled out that those dominant positions might be at least partly because of the skill of those players, and/or weak neighbours.

I suspect points can be made that this game setup also favours other PRTs than SS, should those other PRTs be penalised because of that ?

I would like to know not only when the deadline for races is, abut also when the rules for race handicaps will be finalized, as it is difficult to design and testbed a race when you don't know what rules the race has to comply with.

I would also like information on the last game, so we can see how the PRTs fared in that game. The players who played in the last game already knows that (at least for some of the races in the last game), which gives those players an advantage in this game.
