We have now 8 players, if we wait until April 19, and play Mon-Fri only (of course we could play Sat-Sun too, if everyone accepts that the AI is used if the player file is missing, which would be a good thing, to speed up the game).

Me (fuerte@sci.fi), I would be the host
Tumba (tumba@sci.fi)
Master Belisarius
Deathstalker
WW2
Puke
javaslinger (esprcorn@bellatlantic.net)

If would great to have as many players as possible, up to 16.

The preferences... we have one wish of using modpack (what is it?) and 5000 race points. I don't know, wouldn't it be better to use only the latest patch, not any other requirements? And the race points, isn't 2000 the default? Let me know what you think about the game preferences, post to this thread.

I will make a newer release of PBEM helper before we start the game. It would be great if everyone was using the helper for the player mode, so that we would get the most of it.

So when we start the game, everyone sends me the empire file, it must have the player e-mail address. I will then generate the game with the preferences we have agreed upon here, and send the game file, in .PBM format, if that's ok for everyone. The PBEM helper does not have an option to send in different format (.PBM, .ZIP, plain uncompressed) for different people at the moment.
