Hi everybody,

Hello sirs. Guess I'm the only private here... Don't be too harsh on me will you

So far I love my starting position especially because of the planets in my system (huge breathable planet rich in minerals. Yum). It's too early to tell whether or not I'll like my neighbors, hopefully whichever one of you is my neighbor believes in world peace, and not galactic conquest.

Shoujo, don't worry. You not the only private . The Space Vikings led by myself can make good neighbors. Looking forward to contact with you.

What do you think? Any other ideas on game config ?

I like the idea of a map with all warp points NOT connected that ARE connected . Okay, let's call it "few warp points". Would you consider making that an ancient quadrant type? This way you would really have to plan out military campaigns with complete task forces instead of "just" fleets. IMHO that would really make an interesting game. Stellar Manipulation becomes even more important.
No AI and 10 players sounds good, but fewer players should also work.

I'm having real trouble registering in PBW. It keeps telling me registration failed but I can't find the reason. My real name obviously was not wrong, email was triple-checked and correct, tried a few different login names including the one I used here (CW), but nothing made it work. I can make use of some help.

Hmm, that's odd. The only help I can offer is suggesting that you try a different email. Maybe the site doesn't like your email address. Make a new (generic) email account and try it with that.

Okay, now to my own issues:

• I have noticed that the Yvelon Republic led by Shounjo is using the same shipset as I do. To avoid confusion I will add a "(SV)" for Space Vikings to all my ship classes. I will also use the Scandinavian names most of the time. So, if you see something like "Alesund (SV) class", that ship should be mine (unless having been boarded or converted, of course ).
  I suggest that Shounjo will also add a "YR" for Yvelon Republic (or something like it) to his ship classes just to make sure.
  
  
• Just for the record, I live in the central European time zone (Berlin, GMT+1). What time zones are you guys living in?
  
  
• I think we should set up a few house rules (code of honor, whatever...). Here are my proposals:
  1. Diplomatic contact outside the game via email is allowed (and even encouraged).
  2. The use of another players password (should it be known) is strictly prohibited unless approved by that player (I guess, that goes without saying...).
  3. Since some players (myself included) are in multiple games, "cross trading" should not be allowed. What I mean with that is deals like: "Heh, xyz, if you give me Mines in Junkyard, I'll give you Fighters in Spiralus". While this cannot be controlled, it should be considered bad behavior and frowned upon .
  
  Any comments/additions/suggestions/applause?
  
  
• Last, but not least, I wish everybody good luck and happy expansion... [/list]
  Okay, enough for now,
