Hello people,
looks like our ranks have pretty much filled up by now.
I am still waiting for confirmation emails from Ferendra, Jochen, SirDarwin and ShadeD1. Greg, please send me your email address, too.
So far confirmed are Regul, Galina, greghacke (I need that email!), David Little, spacebas (David), garvoid (Jim), thecyclemania (Tom), and myself.
Well, looks like recruiting is closed now. We are already eight players, 12 with the 'slow ones'
, so this should be enough for a decent game.
My proposal for game settings is much like Regul already posted, except for some small modifications...

If we happen to be less than 12 players we could probably put in some AI players, but with a dozen humans the galaxy will be pretty crowded anyway...
See you soon,
