Yes gandalph, you put the finger on the right spot: Quitters http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif .
So far we had one quitter and that probaly due to the war in iraq, Drizzt321 told me that he has some things to do in the army, but that he would be bak on the 22 of march. But that was offcourse before the war started.
So for now I'm, slightly positive http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

And the point about the placement of player and offcourse partner placement.
I have made the map and put all the starting points on them. Then Angelique (my wife) made the team and placed them on the map and tried to have a equal distance between the partners.
So that should be done fairly good.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

But like stonemill said: if you have to what more experienced player, they should made contact far sooner then maybe newbie. Who are more interessted in first colonizing their surroundings and then make scout for mapping of the galaxy.
Just an idea http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Stone Mill - Thanks, I have always been a quick study when my butt gets whooped, that's basically how I learned to play chess, and I have taken my share of beatings on PBW.

Sparhawk - BTW, you can count me in on Homecoming 3, it has been an enjoyable experience.

I'm much more than definitely interested. In fact, if you boot me from this one, I'll...I'll...Well, I'll think of something convincing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: New game: HomeComing3; suggestions and joining
 

So I'm planning to start number 3 in the Home Coming PBW games.
If some one wants to join or has any suggestion, please put in the forum.

Thanks

OK, but do we want to change something: like win conditions or maybe team of 3 or 4.
Or maybe prepared teams. So you join with two people who are a team...

I'm definitely in for Homecoming 3, if you'll allow me to join!! I like this game. I still would prefer more flexibility in treaties...however, I can always find that option in other PBW games. So far, this one has been great fun already!

Although I wish I knew where my partner is!! Stone Mill, if you are subjugating them, you'll make me have to pay you a visit. And with my long sideburns and my hair slicked back, I'm coming to your town in my pink cadillac. I'm just a honky-tonk man. I'm cool, I'm cocky, I'm bad!!!

I am finally leaving Homecoming 2. This has been a Great Game! In this game, my partner was eliminated before I met him; I was confined in exandable space; and I was in between 2 Religious Partners who met each other early. I played the spoiler as long as I could and eliminated 1 of the religious partners, then forced the other Religious player (who has been in first place the majority of this game) to concentrate on the damage I could do.

I had a great time with this and look forward to Homecoming 3.

I'm still in the game after being on the brink of destruction once, one planet and no ships left...

It's one of the most interesting games I've played as the battle goes back and forth, capture systems, loose them, recapture them.
Oops lost them to intel...
Build more intel facilities, darned, the fleet got wiped out...
Rebuild the fleet, attack, oops I'm attacked... retreat.. etc
And having a partner pre-defined was fun, first to find him and then to have him, I wouldn't have survived this far without him!

Currently doing turn 218..
The only PBW game, heck the ONLY GAME, preiod, that I'm playing now.
