Well (bows to the Imperator), I certainly see what you are talking about! I think it would be a really interesting game. Of course, I'd want to play it with 3 or more starting planets. BUT, I agree with you. I like trying different things. For some reason, I think it gives me a chance to meet someone on a turf that neither they nor I have been...with levels the ground a bit.

However, with my amateurish knowledge, I posted a poll with what I thought were the most common considerations.

I'd CERTAINLY bow to you if you wished to embellish this poll and post it afresh (by deleting mine).

No sarcasm intended at all. I was just fishing for information.

BTW, speaking of "offbeat" games...what do you think of the Adversary game starting up PBW? Seems like a nice twist.
