New PBW game for newbies

Ares · #1 June 17th, 2003, 06:17 AM

This game is intended primarily for newbies. Experienced players may join, but I will limit the number of them to half (or less), and they may find themselves bumped in favor of newbies. Also, if you're an experienced player and do join the game, try to keep in mind the company you're in and be patient with us (and maybe save those ultra-hyper-super secrets for when you REALLY need them!)

I'm not the game owner but the description is the same, sooooo, I would assume so. (Mostly this is to let people know the name of the game (and not to poke fun.))

*smacks foreheaad* Can't believe I didn't even put the name in, but yeah, it's Space Empires 101. As far as how new is newbie, this is the first game for two of us, third for 1, and a fourth I don't know about yet. But, as I said, I'm also taking a few experienced players, though I'm fairly open on what a "newbie" player is. I have it set for 20 players. As a side-note, anyone know if that's the max? I've seen games set for more (32 specifically), but all of the menus and stuff only have pages for up to 20. Anyone know what's going on there?
