This quote was a player who expressed interest in SE: Galaxies at Tesco's website, but wanted to a bit more info. I though my reply would be helpful to those that might be interested, but are undecided...

its hard to come by any in depth info about it tho

It's not that complex really and that's why there isn't much more details listed. Space Empires: Galaxies is essentially a substantiated role-play. What that really means is that events from an actual PBW game are used as the starting points for role-playing in the forums and stories. This gives it an organized structure that prevents many of the problems that plague other forms of unsubstantiated role-play. The forums serve as a place for players to project their interpretation of game events and to develop personalized storylines and characters that participate in them.

As a player in the game, you're responsible for role-playing your race within and outside of the game and participating in the forum on behalf of your empire. The turnaround times for turns are long and provide ample time for you to develop your storylines and respond to other players. Guidelines for the PBW aspect of Galaxies were added to help keep the focus of the game on developing your role-play and avoiding any sort of controversy that could disrupt the game.

But most of all, the goal of Space Empires: Galaxies is to have fun and employ your imagination and creativity. The more you participate, the more people are going to respond to you and the more successful the experience will be.

hmmm... I'm VERY interested, but the link in this thread to the mod seems broken. Can I get it anywhere else?

Uh oh, now I'm having trouble downloading Fyron's Quadrant mod, which I notice is also hosted by spaceempires.net... Problems?

Ok, I definitely cannot access spaceempires.net. Is it possible the problem is at my end, or should I just try back tomorrow?

It seems that spaceempires.net is down at the moment, but I'm sure it'll be back up in a little bit or at least by tomorrow. There's no serious rush, the game isn't slated to start until 1st Oct.

Hmm, it seems that Tesco's site is down too. I wonder what's going on?

10 players have signed up for the first game.

5 spots are left now.

Oh dear. I was getting Tesco's site, although it was extremely choppy. Hope everything's alright there. I also hope that you won't mind if my empire is a human culture. I know homo sapiens is prosaic, but I have trouble getting into the role of aliens, and I don't think folks would enjoy it as much if I tried. I'll make one more go at getting the mod, then call it a night.

nnnnope. Definitely no mod for me today. And I was all excited too... Thanks anyway, Kwok.
