The Last game I hosted, I had lost a good system to a sun going nova. It hurts but ultimately adds to the game, of course if it was my Home System...

Well, twice I have lost home systems.

Hey, that gives me an idea. How about a mod for a PBW game where all of the systems go nova eventually?! Kind of a doomsday scenario…

It's been done. Furball 2. That's not to say it couldn't be done again.

5 Teams now entered on PBW.
The game will start next Monday (Tuesday Oz time)
If I can't find an unbiased person to create a map, I'll create one and select 'Ancient Race' unless someone objects to this.
Better send your thoughts an options you wish the game to run under.

Last chance for any more teams...

Sound fair to me...
Still we need to decide some important things:
Quadrant size, Racial Points, etc.
I go for FQM, Large, 3000 Racial Points (2000 would be better for me!).

Some suggestions:
Both team members should have the same Atmosphere and Colony type.
Trade/Gifts: On, but only between team members.
Tech cost: High (if trading is on)
Intel: Off
Map: Anything is OK with me.

After totalling the Votes via email and the Forum.

Intell is ON.
Events are OFF.
3000 Racial Points.
FQM Spiral Galaxy. To be made by external party or me. Teams mates will start in same system.
No Religous Races!!!

Any thoughts on these settings?
Quadrant size? (My Vote - Medium)
Tech Cost? (My Vote - Medium)
Starting Resources? (My Vote - 100,000)
Races must have same Atmosphere and Colony type? (My Vote - No)
Colonise own Colony type only? (My Vote - ?)

Does anyone want to make this Rating game for those players who are a member of the PBW Rating System?
