This is an official game of the Space Empires Galaxies, a roleplaying community. The game is to be used to develop the roleplay. Roleplay is what is important, not winning the game. As such, completely annihiliating an empire (or reducing it to rubble) is contrary to the roleplay aims, and is generally not a good idea. It will not be considered bad if the game never actually ends, as ending it is not the point. It is an aide to develop roleplays.
The game host will NEVER be a player in the game. He will have no vested interest in any decisions that must come up, and is a neutral party.
All players must give their passwords to the game host, who will use them to make sure that all empires comply with the rules, both before the game starts and during play. The host reserves the right to refuse any empire file that does not comply with the rules. The host also reserves the right to kick any players found to be acting contrary to the rules of the game.
Game turns will process once per week, to allow for plenty of time for roleplays.
The game will not be using the PBW forum, as it is limited in features. The forum to be used is located at
tescosamoa.com Roleplay Posts must be posted in the appropriate subforum, depending on the nature of the roleplay thread. When any war is declared, a thread must be started about it in the War Roleplays subforum, with both sides participating.
The game will be using the official Ladder Mod, available here.
http://www.spaceempires.net/home/mod...=getit&lid=337 The mod is based on Pirates and Nomads mod, but with various alterations.
All races and empires must be unique and original. No sci-fi canon empires, no human empires, etc. Your race/empire can be influenced by such races/empires, but not direct copies of them.
The galaxy represented by this game has no connection to any other galaxies, so all roleplays in this game are not to be connected to roleplays in other Galaxies games or other PBW games. No carrying over grudges. The same empire may be used by a player in different Galaxies PBW games, but they are to be considered as separate entities with no connection to each other.
You may not communicate about in-game details with another player via any external media until you have met them in-game. Once you have met them, you are permitted to communicate via email, IM, telephone, face to face, forums, etc.
No duplicate ship sets will be allowed. All players are required to select their ship set from the list when uploading their empire. If a stock set is to be used, this must be indicated by selecting it from the list.
All players must fill in all RP related elements of their empire, such as Bioligical Description, History, etc. All players are required to post this information in the Character & Empire Profile Development subforum in the game's forum before the game begins.
Surrender is disallowed. Therefore, gifting all of your planets, ships, etc. to another empire, which is an attempt to subvert this rule, is also disallowed.
