When I first read this, I was worried you might think sharing systems was not allowed due to the discussion about not swapping colonies. So, I tried to clarify that just in case. Then...

So I commented to say that I get confused sometimes and went on to make sure everyone understood that other colony types could be researched. I didn't want your team to think (after all the discussion about rock/oxygen), somehow, that the ONLY colony type permitted in the game was Rock. I figured, depending on how soon a war breaks out, people might have time to learn other colonizing types. That's all I was saying.

I apologize for any confusion. My only intent was to make sure someone wasn't getting prepared to enter (and play the game) with misunderstood information. I fully expect people in the same alliance to share systems...after all, why not? And, depending on the oportunities for research, I expect other colony types to be discovered.

Re: Challenge Match

Gryphin, As far as setting the game up on PBW, my suggestion is, just do it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif If you run into a specific problem let me know. I'll look it over once you get it setup and if I see anything out of place I'll mention it.

Re: Challenge Match

I'll try to setup the game on PBW tonight around 7 East Coast Time.

Re: Challenge Match

Olden Ones vs The Black Hole Alliance
has been setup.
Please look it over and let me know if there need to be changes.
Currently it is set for:
After Last Player Upload
No Statistics Shown

The map currently has 114 Systems. It is very easy for me to delete as many as you like.

Re: Challenge Match

Umm, I forgot. Am I an olden one or part of the black hole alliance? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Challenge Match

The Challenge Match
In the dark of the night April 18, 2003 Slinky with Lord Chane, and soon asmala threw down the gauntlet. They challenged a team of any three players to take them on in a struggle for control of K'Rithian Quadrant.
It was not long before they were labeled, "The Axis of Evil" by none other than he who would accept the challenge. Later this band declared themselves to be �The Black Hole Alliance�. Within 18 hours the estimable Geoschmoe teaming up with the honorable Rextorres and unassailable 1FSTCAT.came forth forming an �Alliance of Good� in short order they were named, �The Olden Ones�. It fell upon them to free the galaxy of The Black Hole Alliance. The stakes were clear, Victory or Death!
