Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
Phoenix, in Newbie II, your empire is indeed listed as "dead" meaning the AI took over for you. BD still seems to be in the game. Weird thing is, all three remaining players have uploaded their turns but it is not automatically processed...
Still not sure if we should bother to continue with this game. Beedee? General ? What do you think?

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
Can we all agree to stop sending in turns for Newbie II? I just sent in a turn but spent 5 minutes on it rather than the usual 40. It's no fun anymore now that my main opponent has given up.
Phoenix, if all agree, close the game.
I'm all for starting a discussion on the next (semi?)newbie game though. How would you like to see Newbie 3 configured, how would you change your race, etc. ?

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
Well, if BD is going to use the Irh-Nrr (if he's playing at all..) we should throw the Rage in there, just to watch the chaos

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
If you all are planning another newbie game, what would be the limit to how many people you would allow? And when would you plan on starting?

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
We'll see what everyone thinks. I'd like to keep em small though.. Fleetwars, a game I'm in with 8 players, is just taking too long per turn.

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
I'm in Letharg's PBW game, 10 humans and 10 AI's. Lots of fun, only marginally slower than our newbie games were. At top speed we did 3 turns a day, usually one a day, won't ever reach the record we had in Newbie I of 8 turns one night.
I'd say 6-8 players is about right, plus maybe another 6 AI races (non-neutral). AI on high difficulty, medium bonus. Intelligence disabled (due to 1.41 bug). Spiral arm Large galaxy. Starting with at least 3 planets, max 5 planets start. Good planet starting value, to get to the interesting stages faster. Victory conditions: 400% of second place player, or 1 year of peace after 5 years. 3000 racial points.
How does that sound? If you all like it I might host it myself. Invite any friends whom you know from other games , knowing that they roleplay well.
