PBW "newbie game"

Phoenix, I like that map generation approach too. I hope spoogy and the nostro player hurry a bit, in this initial stage it takes me no more than 5 minutes to play a turn, so if we're all behind our PC's we could play 3 turns a day or so at least...
Then again I am lucky enough to have an always-on connection (cablemodem) so I know immediately if email arrives with a new turn.
Dial up Users would have more delays

BAD NEWS:

We need to restart the game. I generated my empire from the "Quick Start" menu and it put a differnt password on my empire than what I gave to PBW.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Don't ever generate a race from the quick start menu to save time because SE4 puts passwords on all races to prevent tampering.

Sorry guys, my bad.

I have just uploaded my turn. I cannot reveal too much information about my locations, but it will serve adequately until I am destroyed soon time in the future...

Never mind that Last post. I got the password thanks to the help of geoschmo. No restart needed.

I uploaded my file. My start is kind of bad. No breathable planets. :-(

This is so exciting! I don't why I never tried this before, or maybe I do...

The Moral of this post:

Sure, it's fun to try something new and it may even be exciting and rewarding for awhile, until you get your head chopped off or Marjoram III explodes in a fireball...

Either way, I'm doomed.

Don't worry - I don't have any other breathable planets other than my own...
