Okay.
Here are the game mechanics:

Scavenger playgrounds
Medium/Normal
Distant Player positions
no option boxes checked
I need 7 players for now. They design a patron and a client race. Hopefully I would be able to recruit the other 7 players before the plague. 7 Patron races expand until 2480-2500 (randomly determined) and then the plague happens with the chaos period before patron and client races regain control again.
The plague inflicts following on the Patron races:
Pop on all worlds reduces to below 1000
Bomber fleets suffer 90% casualties
Transport fleets suffer hariable damage depending on circumstances.
War fleets suffer light 10% damage.
Mine-Layers do not suffer any losses.
The Patron-Client Race team wins by unanimous vote.
If either Patron race is eliminated its client must align itself with another Patron to win. If a client race is eliminated, its Patron must eliminate another Patron and make it's client race its own (diplomaticly)
Observers must be notified of any alignment change through the common channel. Client races can change their alignment at will after the plague.

Mechanics:
I would be playing the observer race and would have log on password for every race in the game. I would set the build que that the Patron race orders from through the chat mesanger.
I'd be using my calculator's random number generator to calculate the damage done to fleets and the year of the event.

Once the plague year is in. I will do the following:
Set some of the ships from different fleets to scrap themselves.
I will futher use all the transports available to load up pop and recycle them or drop them off in deep space. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realize that I could drive a race almost extinct in very short time. If I do not have enough transports to kill pop quickly, I'll build some more.
Once I've finished the carnage, the players regain control of their races.

This way I hope to create a unique situation where high tech races interact with low tech races in conditions of extreme scarity. Once again all interested people should send their race files with password to alexdstewart@hotmail.com

Any more questions?

In the Future there is only WAR...
Therefore our extinction is assured, it is just a matter of where and when.
