Zeta 2 game starting!

We still need 8 more players...come on people!

Would a rather amatuer player be welcome? I don't think my ability at playing Space Empires IV Gold is decent yet, and I am not sure if I can meet the expectations of the other players. Also, this may be my first attempt at a Play By Web game.

Maybe you are a amateur player? But now I saw your Space empires stories, I know you are at least a SERIOUS player.

So if I got something to tell about it (which I've got NOT) I would say you are in, but as I said Alarikf is the boss not me.........

Intimidator,

Absolutely! I suspect there are few players in the game who would call themselves "expert" ...and I call myself an Amateur, so, please, jump right in!

I'm waiting...

"boss"? Me? Huh? I'm not a "boss" I'm just a dude with an idea for a PBW SEIV game, that I decided to throw out there and host. And, frankly, I don;t expect to Last too long as "the machines," for a variety of reasons, one primary one is that I positively SUCK at optimizing ships or production...so, really, I am just gonna be the host...ugh...just realized I'm babbling...thats what I get for mixing wine and SEIV...

thanks,

Alarik

Oh, but there is also one "gamey" thing that I want to disallow unless there is a great outcry:

"No multi moon training"!

I JUST heard about this a few weeks ago, and I think it is pretty gamey. As far as I understand it, it is the practice of playing many ships training facilities in a single sector, using moons and planets as the locations of the training facs. This has the practical effect of rapidly training ships in the sector, right? Much more rapidly than would otherwise (and realistically, IMHO) be possible....so, I';d like to disallow that for the Zeta quadrant game.

Comments?

thanks,

Alarik

For me it doesn't matter.
But it's one of those things that are too hard to control, so I usually allows it in my games.
But it's up to you, I'll play either way.

(I don't think multi-moon training is gamey, and as seen by an earlier thread here, neither does the majority of players.
There are several rationalitations as to why it could be realistic.
