With that point in mind, though, we will all be oxygen atmosphere but I would envision seeing other colony types (depending on the size of the map and distance from the "enemy", however).

My turn to be confused. What?

I apologize. Let me take my time and attempt to explain why this whole thing started. (argggh!)

However, I was not thinking about he fact that we'd all be rock/oxy and was assuming shared systems between allies.

When I first read this, I was worried you might think sharing systems was not allowed due to the discussion about not swapping colonies. So, I tried to clarify that just in case. Then...

So I commented to say that I get confused sometimes and went on to make sure everyone understood that other colony types could be researched. I didn't want your team to think (after all the discussion about rock/oxygen), somehow, that the ONLY colony type permitted in the game was Rock. I figured, depending on how soon a war breaks out, people might have time to learn other colonizing types. That's all I was saying.

I apologize for any confusion. My only intent was to make sure someone wasn't getting prepared to enter (and play the game) with misunderstood information. I fully expect people in the same alliance to share systems...after all, why not? And, depending on the oportunities for research, I expect other colony types to be discovered.

Thank you. Clear now.

Gryphin, As far as setting the game up on PBW, my suggestion is, just do it. If you run into a specific problem let me know. I'll look it over once you get it setup and if I see anything out of place I'll mention it.

I'll try to setup the game on PBW tonight around 7 East Coast Time.

Olden Ones vs The Black Hole Alliance
has been setup.
Please look it over and let me know if there need to be changes.
Currently it is set for:
After Last Player Upload
No Statistics Shown

The map currently has 114 Systems. It is very easy for me to delete as many as you like.

Umm, I forgot. Am I an olden one or part of the black hole alliance?

The Challenge Match
In the dark of the night April 18, 2003 Slinky with Lord Chane, and soon asmala threw down the gauntlet. They challenged a team of any three players to take them on in a struggle for control of K'Rithian Quadrant.
It was not long before they were labeled, "The Axis of Evil" by none other than he who would accept the challenge. Later this band declared themselves to be “The Black Hole Alliance”. Within 18 hours the estimable Geoschmoe teaming up with the honorable Rextorres and unassailable 1FSTCAT.came forth forming an “Alliance of Good” in short order they were named, “The Olden Ones”. It fell upon them to free the galaxy of The Black Hole Alliance. The stakes were clear, Victory or Death!

Also, not sure what you mean by "was assuming shared systems between allies",

He probably meant that the different allies would normally have different planet types and atmospheres, and so would potentially split their systems to optimize their useage (esp. if no gifting of pop is allowed).

Well, as one can see, I'm easily confused .

With that point in mind, though, we will all be oxygen atmosphere but I would envision seeing other colony types (depending on the size of the map and distance from the "enemy", however).
