Re: Rated Game Proposal
The Great Ratings Team Bash
This is what we have agreed upon so far:
Turn Times: 48 hours till turn 15 (then 72 hours)
Map: Large (to be set up fairly by an approved non-player dividing teams across the map)
Type: To be decided
Racial restrictions: 2,000 points; 1 good starting planet; Medium tech cost; No trait will be lowered to show "non-existant" (except Intel); No Religious
Game restrictions: No mines; No intel; No ancient; All players on a team must take the same colony type and same atmosphere; No one is allowed to take NONE atmosphere; surrender/gifts/trades/(etc.) allowed.
I added the part about NO NONE atmosphere since Admiral RexTorres suggested it and Admiral Asmala didn't object.
I'll toss out one more option that people may care about and that is a suggestion to allow all stellar manipulation except "openers" and "closers". My feeling is that we want to see who can find the strategic places on the map, hold them, build and train better fleets, etc. instead of it being a rush to build the first hole behind enemy lines. So I would suggest we outlaw openers and closers.
Also, what kind of map do we want? A random large map generated from the game? An FQM map (that doesn't require everyone to have the mod)? Want to ask Tesco to do us a "solid"?
As to layout, I see it like this (the x's represent systems and the numbers represent team members):
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
