Anybody up for a game of stock SE4 at PBW?

Whatever, I'm comfy with anything reasonable as far as turn length.

As far as games in progress, there's nothing open as far as new games that isn't 6 months old and manifestly dead.

And I flat refuse to replace someone else in a game in progress.

I tried that once, didn't like it. The game had progressed far enough that all of the empire's explored space was fully colonized, and further exploration proved the empire was surrounded by similarly developed empires. It was quite frustrating, becaus exploring is my favorite of the 4 X's.

It was hard to tell how the original player intended to play the race that he'd created, as well.

I hear that, capnq. I don't know why, but early-game is always more exciting to me than mid-game or end-game.

Although I must admit end-game does have some fun points. One can finally execute those massive civil-engineering projects

Last call?

Someone else has set up a new game on PBW called "Nivek's First PBW". The settings don't quite match what we've posted here, but I don't see any deal breakers for me. He has two players so far.

what the hell, why not?

OK, I've applied to join that Nivek's game, capnq

You're right, he does have some damned odd options set, but as I said above, what the hell

Let all beware, the direct lineal descendants of the dreaded Poo-Flinging Monkeys have returned!

Oh yes, and let's all remember! F11, Ministers, scroll to bottom and select the option "AI should not make changes to the empire during a Simultaneous Game."
