Newbie Gold game on PBW

Okay, all of you newbies out there...

Sign up for the "Newbie Gold 1" game on PBW, so we can practice on each other instead of on the AI!

(36 hour turns, read the game description for more.)

We have 3 players now...can we get 3 more? Any of you poor sods on back-order want us to wait for you?

Can you explain the victory conditions to me? Peace after 2 years??

Thanks,

Ken

wait a day or so for me if you can. I'd like to try my first multi-player game via PBW, and I'd feel a lot better doing it iwth some other first-timers, in case I screw things up. ;-) I'm at work now, so will try to join the game tonight EDT.

Hey there, I sent a request to join. I'll download the patch tonight. I'll use the default Jarenar race.

Question -- someone is using the Vorlon Race. Once I download, I'll just put all files in their own folder where the other races are. Do I have to do anything else to make the Vorlons show up?

I don't want to screwup the game after I'm ready just cause I'm not set up right locally.

If the Vorlon bmps and text files are in Pictures\Races\Vorlon, then they will work properly. If you do not have a race set up properly on your computer, it will not affect the game itself at all. When you meet the empire in the game, they will be using a random ship set each turn, but that's it.
