Here we go. Gonna start a game tonight and see how many turns we can get in before someone decides to go to bed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

After tonight will go with 24 hour turns, but go faster if we can.

At most 5 players, but I'll go with less if it looks like there isn't anyone else that wants to play.

Five Good Starting planets.

No Talisman or crystal Armor, although you can still use the racial traits if there is something else you are interested in there. I am counting on people to be good sports about anything else that could be a problem. If you have something that concerns you let me know.

All other game settings default

Willing to bet I won't drop first! (though I'm exhausted from trying to sleep in hotel rooms away from my "Baby").

Hmmmm, I'm thinking if I had just returned from a three day trip I'd have other things on my mind then Space Empires. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif But glad to have you in teh game anyway. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

LMAO...you weren't the only one with those thoughts...but those things were taken care of before I committed... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif (evil grin).

Ah, so now we hear the real reason you are exhausted. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Exhausted? LOL. Wifey was with me when the doctor asked if I wanted a sample of Viagra...before I could say "no", she said, "He doesn't need it at ALL!" He just grinned.

Fear not Slynky, and join the Followers of Primitive. Within our little association you shall learn to enjoy having a lower score early on, and will delight of being the Last player of the pack. Truly, as the Most Enlightened Primitive himself put it, it could mean the other player(s) have more ships than you do, and are therefore lagging behind in expansion. Of course, if you are still Last by turn 50, you should start worrying. A shame you cannot see the exact score of the other players though.

The other alternative is to join the Geoschmo Alliance, who does not care about score, and actually likes to be Last (at least, he said so to me). But I am not supposed to be recruiting for Geo after all; join the Primitive Ones instead. You will not be disappointed by the quality of our teaching, and we are willing to give you a total refund after the first three courses if you aren't convinced! And there's more to it: half price if you attend our earliest courses (at dawn, your time)! No strings attached to this once-in-a-lifetime offer.
