It would make for some interesting topics...."OK, who was the one who decided to [insert rant]?"

Sounds like fun.

Ah, the play by email games, yes very common with other games, it would be interesting, however, make sure the players u select are honest as this is open for alot of cheating (ie keep takin their turn over & over until they are happy with wot they end wit)

The point to the game is that each player plays the same empire but on differant turns.

I would start it, then the next person would make turn 2 mail it to someone who would make turn 3 and so on. The game would go on for as long as people keep sending it around.

Medium Galaxy
10 or so random AI
1 Human (Terran)
Starting Tech level ? I would say medium.

Great Idea, I'm In as well, one question tho, some email accounts are size limited, would it fit after a number of turns are taken? example I have hotmail, i didn't pay their price to expand the size so have standard size, would it be able to be attached after a large number of turns...?

just some ideas Mac

the largest zip player file I've seen has been just over a meg; it might fit. And that was for the 20 player max tech FQM insanity known as Return to Hell.
