144 before it got too big for PBW. It was nowhere near finished.

Primitive is right. We were just (me and him, the biggest races in the game) developing an execuse for a war, when the game collapsed I wanted so much those tasty lizard steaks I was now denied I am truly disappointed that I didin't witness/fight any major battles. I think the biggest ones I have participated have been 200 ships max on other side (both sides counted less than 400). I think it will change in the next game.

[corrected few typos]

So why did you not just continue it with a PBW alternate site? It would not have the 2 MB limit that PBW does.

Is there another site to play in? I haven't been aware of this until now. Please, tell us more. This new game will propably face same fate like the first one with current server, I'm afraid.

With only 10 people and sans the FQM insantity, it probably won't get as bad.

The game was just too frigging big. Doing the turns became truly "Return to Hell". With 6 large empires left there was no end in sight, and while we could have stretched it a bit longer there was no way this game could ever finish. Better to start over with a clean sheet and let the fighting begin a bit earlier this time
