Anyone willing to accept a newbie?

[Gryphin]

Ok Puke, I'll try it.
I'll have to learn how to setup a pbw but it seems worth a go. Are you in/ Anyone else? Any ideas?
Outline
Victory Conditions:
Learn or teach as much as you can
Enjoy the game

Game will be played till outcome is clear or a consensus is reached to end the game and possibly start a new one where the Lessons can be applied.
If you want to drop out it is ok
If you miss a few turns it is ok

Gentleman’s agreements:
Keep in mind the Spirit of this game is to help novice players learn to play. The Newbie you train today may be a worthy opponent tomorrow.
War can only be made against veteran players or consenting “Newbies”. Once a war is started the Veteran player is encouraged to accept peace terms. If the Newbie did serious damage to the Veteran then reparations would be in order.
At some point during the game the Glassing of Planets may become outlawed.
You may only trade minerals / rads / organics with the AI. Veterans are discouraged from doing this.
All other trading with the AI is forbidden
No Passwords. Your “hand” may be looked at by any Newbie player at any time. Veterans are forbidden from looking at other Veteran players “Hands”

As you can see this game is more about helping out than military victory. I’m sure I have overlooked quite a bit. I’m open to suggestions here.
