K i've opened the game on PBW. I'm at work so I can't do much more then that right now...besides I need to write up a good history for my race

You can find it on PBW as "Shattered Hopes" after a Neverwinter Nights PW I was part of....ahh the good old days

Here's a suggestion :

A friend of mine runs a small quiet forum dedicated to the discussion of all sorts of games. How about we start our own thread there so we could use it for this game, diplomacy and politics,ingame events and empire Messages could all be discussed and posted there.
Here's the link to the place. All you guys would have to do is register.

Anyway, thought it would be a good idea to have our own space for this kinda stuff and the place is perfect for it.

If you all agree I could go over there and get our thread started.

As for the game I would suggest no tech trading,only one partnership allowed and that the game leader would place us as far apart as possible, especially in a medium sized galaxy.

Thanks again to Arakiel for starting this, really looking forward to it!!

Thanks again to Ar

I'm pending to join. Yihaa, my first PBW game!

My only concern is the size of the galaxy, isn't medium a bit small using the stock game?

It's eventually your call Arakiel, but I would prefer a large galaxy, especially if we get a lot of players.

Hi Salient

as near as i can tell we get a private forum for the PBW game on the PBW site

I like your idea of spreading people out, however since I'll be playing as well I think I'll let the puter place us in a spread out fashion since otherwise i'd have inside knowledge of the game map and although I *could* say that i'll just ignore it...why have the stigma

Not sure how to enforce no tech trading and 1 partnership, or is that more of an "honor system" type of thing?

On a private note ... w00t! my first star.

oh... and Glyn and Salient have been approved

Yep that would be code among the players.

Letshope that the puter spreads us out as far as possible!

Didn't know about the forum space per game, that's cool!

"Good old days" indeed... I went to level 20 a few times, level 18 cleric/1 fighter/1 monk. Basically a character with the BAB of a fighter, who could cast powerful cleric spells and dish out tons of damage with dual wielded kamas and 60 AC lol. Max/minning to the extreme. Only thing that could really match that would be a level 20 pure sorcerer or level 20 pure wizard...

This new game should be fun, will join as soon as I have an empire ready.

Starwood applied and got accepted...don't see him on the thread but *shrug* the more the merrier. 'Lo Starwood!

With a turn duration of 24 hours, it might be best to add the No AI mod. It will prevent the AI from messing up players, if they miss a turn. With it, any player without a plr file will simply continue on whatever they were doing Last turn.

Since I'm not sure the shipset I want to use is on the PBW site, it would be handy if everyone in the game could download the TAERA HIVE shipset from here.
Look under "hosted shipsets".

Btw, tell me where I can find the shipsets you guys are using so I can get them as well!
I'm guessing this is the safest thing to do for everyone.
