PBW : Paranoia2

Sounds awesome, but how long does a game like this typically take? And since I'm a total n00B at PBW, will I have all the bigger empires babysitting me so the game won't end before they find their targets? Hehehehe, that might be fun.

Sigh.
I did quite a lot of "baby sitting" in the first Paranoia.

Then, I don't want to scare anybody, but the first game Lasted....around a full year !!!!

AND WE WERE HAPPY OF IT !

Isn't this supposed to be true for all alliances? *Smirks* I know, I tend to be too much a plotter, and too suspicious as well. (Well, for the sake of completeness, I should mention I am more prone to grovel when my Empire is the weaker one, which is more often than not the case.

Hum, don't remember.
Some player, not the biggest achieved to build a ringworld.

Tips : do not neglect "Political Savy" in this game. Do not max it, but do not neglect it either.

Have you decided how to deal with the issues we had at the end of the Last one?

Specifically, there needs to be a definition of what's needed to score, that can't be trivially avoided by opponents using gifts. Such as, maintaining control of the homeworld.

I'd also suggest using, say, PvK Balance Mod.
