Excellent!!

Did you do any balancing on atmosphere/gas/ice/rock combo's?
Or did you just take what FQM generated?

You know that balancing of planet types is important - i would also like to see more balancing of mineral, organic and radioactives to. As they can influence gameplay - set em low and encourage condintions and values upgrades in the later game or set em high to encourage big fleets, rapid building expansion and up front attacks and in youre face tactics from the start - lowering them restricts early game ship numbers and encourages a more prolonged reserach and fleet buildup.

Hah! Big Kilrah is watching you! I surely see the new warp lanes recently appearing within your empire...
Just because my humble empire has managed to have a slightly higher resource income than your empire doesn't mean that I'm doing better than you - remember, I'm a newbie

Question: Regarding this rule..

5. Absolutely no e-mail diplomacy prior to in-game contact. You may mail each other on all other issues but not concerning in-game events and strategies prior to in-game contact.

How are you going to be able to enforce this? I mean, I don't plan on engaging in e-mail exchanges with the other players. (And if you have a way of monitoring my e-mails then I would apreciate you telling me how, and should I now worry about my e-mail being monitored by you?)

It just seems wierd how this rule seems to imply that you can monitor e-mails.

Cheers!

Ahh, but I do got a mail monitor program, constantly scanning all mails sent in the world with certain keywords, including NGC4....

It's a standard rule in many games, not just mine. It means that I trust you on this by informing you that you shouldn't do it.
If it somehow comes out that it has happened there will be kickin done.

It has happened in games I've played before, usually by people forgetting about the rule but the recepient usually remembers the rule and then they both go public with the mistake. (it migh have happened much more but that I wouldn't know of).
(Mistakes usually don't get you kicked!)

so no pre game alliance

[David E. Gervais]

A good rule, "Honor among players." I like it, and I agree with it. I just found the rule seemed to have hidden implications.

No I'm not paranoid, really, but could you help filter any spam that goes through your e-mail monitor?

I look forward to this game, it should be lots of fun. (So upload your empires people, let the games begin.)

Cheers!
