Being a creative one. Does anybody object if I do put in various creative non vulgar system names?
For example:
In Your Face
Get Lost
Turn Back Now
This is Taken
Mine!
Gryphin Position
The Olden Ones
Pooh Star Is Watching
and any others you might like to have inluding players names such as
Storms of Geo
Slynky Sequence
Rex Torrents
Lord Chain
Asmala Alamsa
You get the idea.
Any members of the Forum want their name used? Then you could claim someone was fighting over you.
I'm open to ideas.
Let's Hav Phun
Feel free to use my name in system names but what is Alamsa?

Alamsa is asmala spelled backwards and given a capital "A"

I do need 100 percent acceptance or indifferance befor I can alter name.

Would folks like a pair of carefuly placed truly dangerous sytems? These might be placed inbetween the two warring factions or off somewhare un important.

I should have been found that, it's a bit embarrassed!

Well, it would be an interesting concept to have a team game with no tech or ship swapping. Not sure exactly how that would play out actually. Maybe we should think/talk about it some. But definetly that's one thing that needs decided before the game starts. Personally I don't mind either way.

Geoschmo

I don't mind either way either. I will say that I'm more in favor of swapping planets than I am of swapping ships. Exchanging planets seems more natural to me than exchanging ships. Races would naturaly tend to gravitate to planets that were good for them so it seems reasonable to me that several races working together would be willing to hand-off a planet more suited to their ally in exchange for like consideration. Ships seem more of a stretch. Races with perhaps wildy different physiologies, atmospheric requirements, mentalities, and design philosophies would seem ill suited to use each other's ships. But in the final analysis I don't care enough to take a stand one way or the other.

You may use my name if you wish (but please, no names like "Slynky's Toilet" )

As to dangerous systems? I'd just let the map generator handle it all. But if other players want something like that, I'll let them mention it.

Well, concerning the colony/ship swapping, our side has stated:

Asmala: Prefer not to have it
Slynky: Prefer not to have it
Lord Chane: Don't care

Your side has stated:

geoschmo: Don't care
rextorres: Don't care

In my opinion, then, since no one voted as preferring colony/ship (etc.) swapping, it will not be allowed.

If that's the Last detail to be agreed upon, then I'll post a summary for the game and Gryphin can get started.
