Newbie Game

[Renegade 13]

Well Liudas, from what I've seen in the Newbies 102 game, you should make a good opponent. Conscientious at uploading turns, and a worthy ally. Not too experienced, but enough to be stronger than me!

A larger galaxy would be welcome now,we're up to 10 players now.

I do hope there will be room for some diplomacy and empire building and that we don't start shooting right away, that's certainly not my plan. Infact that way it would be a very short game for me I fear.

Oh, and it's god to see a fellow country man here boran_blok !!
Wanna ally right away?

[Liudas]

Hmm, i think i am too late, the game is already full. Well maybe next time.

[boran_blok]

Maybe we should do a poll then what timezones all players have

I have placed a message on the game forum (the one on the PBW site specifically of the game) concerning this.

On a sidenote, can anyone reccomend a good empire style ? it needs to be darkish-blue.

thanks.

When the start date for this game?
I can't make game turn postings between Oct 3-8 due to RL.
It will hurt to miss 5 turns in the beginning, but I don't want to delay the game start. So, it may be best if I withdraw for now.

Found Myself a shipset and I will have tinkered and tweaked my empire by tonight, or tomorrow night at most.

Glyn- I was hoping for this weekend to start the game. as long as you fill up your queue beforehand you should be good for a few days at least, just make sure your research and other queues have enough work to Last 5 turns.

boron_blok - i'm not quite sure what the issue is. it's a 24 hour timer, so as long as you upload your turn *sometime* within the 24hr period you'll be fine. timezone shouldn't matter since it's a 24 hour clock. please elaborate if i'm not understanding your issue. thanks!

I uploaded my empire.

I read the article on Min Maxing...
I had no idea so many of those traits were not so important.
Anyway, I had fun tweaking them, it reminded me what I used to do in Dungeons and Dragons.

From what I read from the people here, I think this is going to be a fun game !

Question:

Does max units allowed mean only units actually in space and not the planets ?

I was thinking, people with large empires would find it really hard to defend with only 300 ships.

But on the other hand, only having 300 ships would make a long, fun game, because people would find it hard to maintain a large empire, so eveyone would be expanding and shrinking alot ?

1: it's boran

2: this will be a bit harder to explain than my name but i'll try.

if the turn generation is at 21 hrs my time for instance, then i'd have sometimes only 1 hr to make my turn before it's got to be in, or after that time only 2 hrs (okay that should suffice but I do not know how long my empires will get and what other homework i'd have)

but if the turn generation is in the middle of the night somewhere then i'd always have the entire evening without having to watch a clock, just submit when off to bed, hence 00hrs till 18hrs my time (the entire time i'm asleep and/or at school) the turn processing firs best for me.

hope you understand the reasoning behind this.
