My email is still being fixed (by me) so I will cast my vote here.

Aparently one player is in a corner and has three empires around him all within a one system distance. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

If we restart I'll gen a map of around 100 systems and have someone place common starting points.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's kind of funny, actually. The first guy I met said something like "Well this could be nice, we'll divide this corner between the two of us." Then I met the other two, bordering my other two homeworld systems.

I doubt any of them have met each other, if fact, a couple probably aren't even aware they're met me yet (haven't uploaded their turns yet), but they'll meet each other real soon.

I don't really mind my position too much. Yeah, a bit cramped but I have a fairly good choice of planets (set down on 3 various sizes of breathables already). I've popped into 2 people's home systems (one of them Loser's) already. So, yes, I'm one of the people around him.

So, how do I vote? I guess a "don't care" will suffice even though I do care...I just don't care enough to argue about it. Just figuring what has happened in other restarts I've been in, I'll get positioned beside nebulas and empty systems.

PS: With 12 slots, it's highly impractical 4 turns can be accomplished in several hours. After all, it's taken nearly 14 days to do 4 turns (and though I was gone over this past weekend, the game wasn't ready to run when I returned, so it wasn't me holding it up).

well perhaps it will affect the long term outcome but creating another game just screws some other players.

I am in the 'Don't Care' mode and will take what cards I am delt

I'll go with the majority as stated, however, I would mention that the intent of the game is to explore a game with the smaller ships. If the game turns into an early slugfest, it will not be much different from a standard game.

Slick.

Not that I'm at all impartial here. But yeah, what he said.

Put my official vote in as don't care.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 
Ok, by my accounting so far everybody has either voted Yes or Don't care. But I still have not heard from Joachim or Krsqk. Please let me know guys.

I don't care.

Should have checked the forum a little more carefully, I guess. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif
