Re: PBW Hate everyone game - join now
Quote:
2024 game was pretty much one system per player. I think there were 3 or 4 extra systems total and 20 players. I was thinking this morning actually about a game with the same number of systems as players, and each system would have a warp point to all the other systems. There would be no way to defend all the warp points would there?

Actually, I was kicking around an idea for a "civil war" PBW game. Any size/type map and everyone starts in the same system. Defend or expand? How about with a 3 or 10 planet start?

Re: PBW Hate everyone game - join now
Ok, you all tell me what you think of this.
Until someone comes up with a better name let's call it The L.M.S. League.
- All player must join the league to join a game.
- Players can be in as many games as they can handle.
- As a player is knocked out, they report a loss to each player still remaining in the game.
- Settings for games optional with a few exceptions: No treaties, No gifts/trades, No surrender, Small maps
The map thing could be handeled a couple ways. We could use premade maps, or designed quadrants that are planet heavy, or go totally random. In fact we can do all of the above and players will just join games setup the way they like.
The reporting a loss thing let's us use the automated ladder league that I mentioned a while back.
Do we think this would get enough players to make it worth doing?

Re: PBW Hate everyone game - join now
Gees go away for a few hours and look what happens. My idea for a single game is now a league.
I was just thinking of a single game with rules like tesco said. 'hate everyone'
