Narf, may I call you Narf? You've been in the forums longer than I have so I'll change if you like. Otherwise, if you've no objection, then I'll keep using it for now. No, I'm not worried about being mistaken for "cantina narf".

Well, as one can see, I'm easily confused .

With that point in mind, though, we will all be oxygen atmosphere but I would envision seeing other colony types (depending on the size of the map and distance from the "enemy", however).

I apologize. Let me take my time and attempt to explain why this whole thing started. (argggh!)

When I first read this, I was worried you might think sharing systems was not allowed due to the discussion about not swapping colonies. So, I tried to clarify that just in case. Then...

So I commented to say that I get confused sometimes and went on to make sure everyone understood that other colony types could be researched. I didn't want your team to think (after all the discussion about rock/oxygen), somehow, that the ONLY colony type permitted in the game was Rock. I figured, depending on how soon a war breaks out, people might have time to learn other colonizing types. That's all I was saying.

I apologize for any confusion. My only intent was to make sure someone wasn't getting prepared to enter (and play the game) with misunderstood information. I fully expect people in the same alliance to share systems...after all, why not? And, depending on the oportunities for research, I expect other colony types to be discovered.

Gryphin, As far as setting the game up on PBW, my suggestion is, just do it. If you run into a specific problem let me know. I'll look it over once you get it setup and if I see anything out of place I'll mention it.
