If no one else has this problem, maybe I should bail so as not to risk holding people up later.

I suport a 36h turn.

I would say, if we have AI, let's trash intel, if only humans, let's keep it.

I've requested to join the game (yeah, like who cares, right?

).

Posting here to say that I have received a request from a rated player to be rated in this game. Of course, we need at least 2 for this to happen. I haven't decided yet (based on final game settings) so, there is still only one requesting a rating.

Are there any others at this point?

Seems we'll hit the 20 players for that game.
I usually hate games that are way too crowded, but well, I'll have to make an exception for this one.

People seem to be slow in getting their empire files uploaded. Everyone got the email that the game settings have been finalized, right?

I might have missed it (among all those "proccessing" message I get). Are the settings on the game the final ones? 'Cause I was still waiting to find out if there would be intel and AI.

Well, if I understand it correctly, we won't be leaving the system for quite a few turns...so that will keep us away from each other for a while..

Game settings are on the game info screen. I updated it. No intel, no AI. No direct tech trading, but trading ships for tech or pop is ok.
