New GOLD game of paranoia over at PBW

What's going to determine when an empire is knocked out? Do they have to have a populated colony somewhere?

In the Universe Cup discussion, it was brought up that the game may consider an empire still to exist, even if all it has is a mine hiding somewhere...

Edit: Oh, and are planet gifts going to be allowed, so if race Z is about to bite it, other players can donate more planets to them?

No permanent alliances?
No full co-operation?
Backstabbing?

I like it.

PS. What would be even more nasty would be no trades of anything at all. That way if one of the non-targets is about to die your gonna have to come with direct military aide, not hiding a moon somewhere in your vast expanse.

If you don't know who your target empire is, and someone else inadvertantly destroys that empire for you, do you win anyhow?

Personally, I think the victory conditions should be the first empire to be destroyed by it's designated "hunter" empire, not just the first empire to die. Too bad I don't have time to put another game on my schedule, this sounds like fun!

T.A.G. anyone?

You would have to add a rule saying that if you killed off a race that was NOT your target, you die, and the player hunting you wins.

Otherwise, if someone else kills off your prey, there is no way for you to win anymore.
