Hello people,

looks like our ranks have pretty much filled up by now.

I am still waiting for confirmation emails from Ferendra, Jochen, SirDarwin and ShadeD1. Greg, please send me your email address, too.

So far confirmed are Regul, Galina, greghacke (I need that email!), David Little, spacebas (David), garvoid (Jim), thecyclemania (Tom), and myself.

Well, looks like recruiting is closed now. We are already eight players, 12 with the 'slow ones' , so this should be enough for a decent game.

My proposal for game settings is much like Regul already posted, except for some small modifications...

Quadrant Type: Midlife (alternative: Cluster or Spiral Arm)
Quadrant Size: Large
General Options: All players planets the same size

Event Frequency: Medium
Maximum Event Severity: Catastrophic

Technology Cost: Medium
Technology Areas Allowed: All

Starting Resources: Medium (20000)
Home Planet Value: Good
Number of Starting Planets: 1
Empire Placement: Evenly distributed through the quadrant
Score display: Player can only view own score
Technology Level for New Player: Low
Racial Points for New Players: Low (2000)

No Computer Players

Maximum number of units allowed per player (in space): 1000
Maximum number of ships allowed per player: 1000
Allow Gifts\Tributes
Allow Technology Gifts\Tributes\Trades

Simultaneous Movement
Autosave Every Turn

Victory Conditions: ? (Please make suggestions, else we have to fight to the Last race standing!)

Game Version: 1.11 (current)

Turn Generation: Daily

If we happen to be less than 12 players we could probably put in some AI players, but with a dozen humans the galaxy will be pretty crowded anyway...

See you soon,

Dime

I'd like to make some suggestions for game settings that may be different from what is proposed:
-Number of Systems = [10 * # of Players] (Edit the Settings.txt file to insure a good volume)
-Quad Type: Spiral Arm (Most diversity of planet types)
- No Computer Players (regardless of how many players are in, no neutrals or enemy AI empires)
-Victory Conditions:
-Peace: 2.5 years (25 turns)
-Victory conditions only apply after: 2.5 years (25 turns)
-Game Version: 1.11 with NO edited technology, just play as it stands.

Oh, and my e-mail is (drum-roll) greghacke@columbus.rr.com

Hey Dime,

how does sim-play work ?

Hi,

Ferendra:
you have Dime's Email-adress so why don't you ask directly or take some time and read your Online manual? :-)

Same as every Pbem pc game works...you send your race file, get the game file, send your orders, get your game file aso. ... does this help? *eg*

In general, just send your 2000P limited race file (*.emp) attached to Dime's adress and await the return with the how to's.

Game Settings:
To edit the settings.txt file 'might' get a problem with a bug in the process as no one has tested a multiplayer with it till the end, did you? So my vote therefore is against for this first game.

The Spiral Arm Galaxy has also my favor, but i would even not be dissappointed with Midlife. Cluster i do not like...(tiny little boxes in a row...brrrr...and bad bad warriors waiting on the other side of the gate)

My only real exception would be the 'score display' as i certainly like to compare my score with my allies, not my enemys of course. :-)

All other is fine to me, 1 huge planet instead of 3 normal as jump start seems quite fair...only 'Maximum Event Severity: Catastrophic' is stressing my brain -> who will be the one who's home system will encounter a supernova...he he he...good luck to you all!

My race style is allready sent out to Dime and i look forward to get the game file till friday/saturday if all send in their racefile.

Ja, Ja Mr. Regul,

I know I should have read the manual, actually I enjoy reading manuals (boardgame or PC-game), but I have been busy the Last few days.
I will send my race to Dime

Thanks

Ferendra
