Yes gandalph, you put the finger on the right spot: Quitters .
So far we had one quitter and that probaly due to the war in iraq, Drizzt321 told me that he has some things to do in the army, but that he would be bak on the 22 of march. But that was offcourse before the war started.
So for now I'm, slightly positive

And the point about the placement of player and offcourse partner placement.
I have made the map and put all the starting points on them. Then Angelique (my wife) made the team and placed them on the map and tried to have a equal distance between the partners.
So that should be done fairly good....

But like stonemill said: if you have to what more experienced player, they should made contact far sooner then maybe newbie. Who are more interessted in first colonizing their surroundings and then make scout for mapping of the galaxy.
Just an idea

I have only met three other races so far in Homecoming 2. I don't think that we have met yet. And how do you know that it was your partner who quit? It is hard to understand that you can have met everyone in the game if you have only explored 1/4 of the map. Please explain...Greybeard
I have been gifted many comm channels.

Stone Mill - Thanks, I have always been a quick study when my butt gets whooped, that's basically how I learned to play chess, and I have taken my share of beatings on PBW.

Sparhawk - BTW, you can count me in on Homecoming 3, it has been an enjoyable experience.

I'm much more than definitely interested. In fact, if you boot me from this one, I'll...I'll...Well, I'll think of something convincing.

OK, but do we want to change something: like win conditions or maybe team of 3 or 4.
Or maybe prepared teams. So you join with two people who are a team...

I'm definitely in for Homecoming 3, if you'll allow me to join!! I like this game. I still would prefer more flexibility in treaties...however, I can always find that option in other PBW games. So far, this one has been great fun already!

Although I wish I knew where my partner is!! Stone Mill, if you are subjugating them, you'll make me have to pay you a visit. And with my long sideburns and my hair slicked back, I'm coming to your town in my pink cadillac. I'm just a honky-tonk man. I'm cool, I'm cocky, I'm bad!!!
