Hehe, what about that spehere map I made? I think Asmala and Bbegemott used it in a game once. I could put each team of four together in a quad of four systems, and space the quads a good way apart. Eh, probably too radical... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Actually, the map looks the way it is due to the confines of doing it with characters http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

I would think a large Galactic Edge or Spiral Arm (generating over and over till it had lots of planets and looked like it sported good placement for 2 teams of 4) would be fine.

Thanks bunches, Geo. I know you've been busy with school and all.

Re: Rated Game Proposal
 

Sorry guys, but as much as I don't want to, I have to pull out of this game.
I've just had to unespecidedly work 65 hours this week and its only Friday morning with a LOT more work left, and it appears that starting next month I might be as busy a lot more often.
Sorry.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I wish you could find the time to play, Baron. I wouldn't want you to participate if you couldn't give it proper time but remember, after a set amount of turns, it goes from 48 hours to 72 hour response. But, if you see that as a burden, it's better to get another player in...instead of having to drop out after the game has started.

Re: Rated Game Proposal
 

What's up with this. Is it a dead game?

Re: Rated Game Proposal
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Not necessarily. When The Baron dropped, I wasn't sure what to do. I gave it some time to see if he would change his mind. While waiting to see, I noticed there weren't many inquiries (till yours) about the status of the game. I took that to indicate a possible lack of interest.

IF there IS still interest, then a replacement would need to be found for The Baron. There are people available now (whose starting rating of 1,000 points doesn't really represent their ability) who weren't available when the draft was started. So, I hesitate to look at those as, hmmmm, fair replacements. But, if everyone on our team voted to allow anyone on the list as an acceptable choice, then I'd go along with it.

On the other hand, saying Asmala must choose a replacement for the Baron from the people who were on the list at the time the draft started...well, I'm not sure that's fair either...to be forced to take, perhaps, someone with lessor ability than the Baron.

SO, I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do. (did I make sense?)

Re: Rated Game Proposal
 

I think Asmala would be hard pressed to find someone with lesser talent than myself. I'm only average at best.
Sorry guys, I have time now to play, but by the end of the month I won't. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
