I\'m a cursed host, stay away from my games (NGC3 troubles)
 

Oh no!!!!
I really hate this!!

Should we restart???
Some players have gotten a huge starting planet without the right atmosphere, giving them 5 facilities instead of 15. We have all started close to eachother, that was not meant to be. If you like, check the forum on the PBW game page and discuss this. If we do restart it will be all medium starting planets and my wife will manually pick the strating locations. We do not have to withdraw or reupload empires. I can fix it so that the next turn sent out is a new turn 1 on a new map, without you having to do anything. Mail me or discuss it at the PBW game forum page in the tread RESTART.

Oh, I think I'm cursed as a host!!!

Ruatha: You are not a cursed host. You are a GREAT Host!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Only a great host would care enough about those playing to make sure that things are going well and everyone is enjoying the game.

Keep on keeping on...Greybeard

as an example of placing 20 players with systems in between:
(If we start with three planets most will have two starting systems and so lesser space between neighbours)

Ruatha,
Do you need a map made? I have some time today.

Re: I\'m a cursed host, stay away from my games (NGC3 troubles)
 

Heh. You are a great Host. I think everything will work out just fine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Well, I started in a corner, and have other empires in two adjoining systems. So I say we should restart.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">What do you have in mind?
I've made a randommap with 200+ systems in FQm and my wife has placced out the starting positions.
Everyone has atleast 4 systems between themself and their neighbours.

We are 20 players, we want a huge galaxy 2-3000 planets, 255 systems. As loong as possible between players starting and equal amount of planet types and athmosphers, starting points marked manually.

Can you fix something like that?
You can give a text description of the map here but you can't show it to me or anyone in the game.

I restarted now.
I hope everyone is better off than before.

Re: I\'m a cursed host, stay away from my games (NGC3 troubles)
 

ACK! I started off in the same system as five other people!
