I wasn't in that game... I was in A Little Roleplaying. If any of you are out there, maybe we should try to reorganize.

However, I am interested in starting another game anyway. I already have one other person who'd like to play. Anyone else interested? Just email me at chrislperry@mindspring.com

The settings are debatable, but here's what I was thinking:

Large, Galactic Edge Map
Event Frequency: Medium
Tech cost: Medium (default)
Home Planet Value: Good
Starting Resources: 20000 (default)
Starting Planet: 1 (default)
Racial Points: 3000 (Medium)
Victory Conditions (after 5 years): 80% tech tree and/or peace for 2 years
Simultaneous Movement

I've left everything else at default. If you're interested, send me an empire file. Try to be complete with your race/empire concept. For example: I've played games with people who have specified a primarily mercantile race, yet they are warmongers in the way they play. I don't expect roleplaying (although it's fun) but at least be consistant.

Also I'm open for suggestions regarding the settings.

large is too.. hmm... large lets make it medium and i am in
i mean i don't want 2-3 years game

Medium it is, then.

I wish there were some other takers, though. There are only three players so far, including myself.

Anyway, send me your emp file. And I'll see if I can round another player or two up.

Q) Is this game going to be played in the Gold Demo? It has TCP/IP enabled!

I wasn't planning on using the Gold demo, because you're limited to 100 turns.

As for TCP/IP support, I'm not sure if it's a feature that I am interested in. After all, every player has to be Online at the same time and while it would be great to use in spurts (knocking 10-20 turns out quickly in one sitting) I think it'll be hard to organize several people's schedules consistantly. PBWeb and PBEmail allow for people to take their turns at their convienence (more or less).

What would be REALLY useful is if you could take a PBW or PBE game and occasionally play it TCP/IP when people are able to spend an hour or two together, and then switch back to PBW/PBE to keep the game moving. Does anyone know if SEIV Gold is going to be able to do this?
