Are we doing PBW or PBEM? I have been in a PBEM with three people and it does move slowly. However, we have also said we have to wait for all three of us to put our turns in.

I have never played PBW, but I understand it is pretty slick. That, combined with choosing a host for PBEM, makes me lean towards PBW.

I am up for starting right away, but if we want to wait for Gold I can live with that.

These are just my suggestions:

medium size galaxy
three starting planets
low tech start
5000 racial points
infinate resources
no ai races (then again, maybe...)
role playing in all communication (actually, I have never done this, does it get tired?)

I figure this will be fairly crowded and see some action early. We can really work on getting unique races and focus on each other, rather than the Krill.
