OK, NOW HERE'S THE DEAL...

Everybody says that ringworlds and sphereworlds never get built in Multiplayer games. Well that won't be true in this game, cause the object of this game, and the only way to win, is to build a ringworld, colonize it, and keep it alive for 10 years. (100 turns) If it gets glassed the clock starts again when you recolonize it. If it gets conqured, the clock starts from zero for the empire that took it from you.

Here's the catch. Once you build it, you have to announce to the other empires that you have. You don't have to say where it is, but you better have it well defended, cause they are going to come looking for it.

Starting resources: 100000

Technology cost: Low
Victory conditions: SEE ABOVE
Maximum units: MAX

No tech trading.

Everybody is going to be required to keep their empire passwords current with PBW for this game. Until PBW is updated to allow you to change it yourself that means you will have to notify a PBW Admin if you change it.

I haven't decided if I will play this game or not. It depends on a couple of things. I'll let you know. If I do play I am sure we can get a non-onvolved third party to handle verification of ringworld exsistance.

Go to PBW and look for "If you build it, they will come..." in the open game list. Looking for ten players. Will take more if there is a lot of interest, less if not.
