New PBW game: Ancient

Hi everybody,
thanks for your votes. The results:

1. one planet (3:1)
2. warppoints anywhere: OFF (2:2, but off won the toss)
3. finite resources: ON (4:0)

BTW, I have never tried this before, either.
4. low tech (3:1)

Okay, I'll have dinner now and watch todays footbal games. After that I'll start the game. So, that gives you about two hours to object to the above decisions and get ready for the game.

Hee hee! And four different shipsets even! (Though my ships are the Praetorians', at least my flag and color will be different.)

Yes, my "shipset" is also just a flag and new portraits and missels. But I think it's much more fun that way. Once dogscoff gets his Space Viking ships finshed, I'll use those instead of the generic. I like the generic, though.

Starting position okay, everyone? Boy, at least we have 2m resources of each on our homeworld.

Is there a certain time of day (EST) that all players are at their PC's? I'd like to blaze through the first 6 turns or so within an hour or two.

I am usually available between 2 PM and 2 AM Eastern time (this monday only: 6PM to 1 AM).

The best time for me is usually 11p to 2a. 'Course, while I continue my Quest for Gainful Employment, I've got quite a but of free time....

Starting position is OK, except for the small issue that my home star is unstable and could collapse at any moment!

Which doesn't actually DO anything, as far as I can tell.

No, not in the text description of the star, but in a bullet point under the star description in big white letters. Hopefully I can get a massive system shield, 'cos a ringworld is still probably fifty years away!
