Re: Newbie Game
I see we have everyone's empires uploaded. One Last chance to let your voice be heard about galaxy size before i upload the gam file. i'm still seriously considering making the galaxy large instead of medium since we have 10 players now. if your against this and want to keep it medium, now is the time to let your voice be heard.
I'll upload the gam file around 3:00pm EST.

Re: Newbie Game
hmmh, pbw site is down for me. constant 24 hr turns (so always everyday at a set time) would be best for me (it will slow down the game a bit, but since we're in different timezones it's unrealistically to think that we could get turns faster than 1 per 24 hrs.

Re: Newbie Game
36 hour turns are the ideal turn space. I'm in this situation a lot...
I come home, and play a turn early in the afternoon. I do some work. The next day, I'm busy with work until the middle of the night. I go on my PBW. Oooppppppsssssssss I missed a turn, because the turn size was 24 hours and not 36.
The turn size should be 36 hours to make up for people taking turns during different times of the day.

Re: Newbie Game
Large galaxy would probaby be best with this number of players.

Re: Newbie Game
I'm interested but it looks like I'm finding this a little too late... I don't have a custom shipset yet or really a good race designed.
I'm interested in a PBW but I know I'll be missing some turns no matter what happens; I travel a lot for work. Some weeks I'm on the east coast, some on the west... Some I'm working nights, some I'm working day. Also, on some trips a day or two can go by that I do not have internet access, even dial-up.
That said, a 36 hour clock would be better for me. As I understand it tho, if everyone turns in their moves an hour after the Last turn processed then the game will process then. If that's the way it is, and it only processes without everyone's turn every 24 or 36 or whatever hours then that could work out okay.
If it's not too late for me I'm interested.

Re: Newbie Game
Well, since PBW has been down and just came up I guess I might be ready in time. I've got a race designed, using the Xaiti shipset, unless someone else is already.
I guess I'd prefer mostly medium settings, except for size which should be large. Are you going to use use FQM to generate a good map? If you use the basic Version nobody needs a mod to play, still.

Re: Newbie Game
Sorry MoTec, didn't see your message in time. Game has already started I'm afraid. I was just coming here to post a note to everyone about that when I saw your message. Next time perhaps
