I'm already in two large PBEM games so I have to decline. I'm very sorry.

I have been thinking of races to play.

I think I am settling on a Engrish 80's to early 90's arcade video game race.... Impulsive of course.... What your going to do when dig dug come for you...........

minus the crappy humour. Tasteful humour only.

Are we doing PBW or PBEM? I have been in a PBEM with three people and it does move slowly. However, we have also said we have to wait for all three of us to put our turns in.

I have never played PBW, but I understand it is pretty slick. That, combined with choosing a host for PBEM, makes me lean towards PBW.

I am up for starting right away, but if we want to wait for Gold I can live with that.

These are just my suggestions:

medium size galaxy
three starting planets
low tech start
5000 racial points
infinate resources
no ai races (then again, maybe...)
role playing in all communication (actually, I have never done this, does it get tired?)

I figure this will be fairly crowded and see some action early. We can really work on getting unique races and focus on each other, rather than the Krill.

"medium size galaxy" depends on player #
three starting planets- good
low tech start- good
5000 racial points- I prefer 2000 myself, but this would work
infinate resources-good
no ai races (then again, maybe...)-they make wonderful punching bags, but that's about it.
role playing in all communication (actually, I have never done this, does it get tired?)- I wouldn't try to enforce it, but I'd do it anyway

I'd say wait for Gold too. New stuff to throw people off And do it on PBW. I can host, if no one else is up for it.

My Take:
"medium size galaxy" depends on player #
three starting planets- good
low tech start- good
racial points- Either works for me
infinate resources-good
no ai races = Maybe the EEE? a Hive Race and a Neutral for Mephisto to take over if / when he has time.
role playing in all communication - Might be fun
I'd say wait for Gold too. works for me
Anyone with experiance with AI races in PBW games?
Over all, I'm flexible.

When you say med are we talkin 100 systems ??

3 planets---good
low tech--good
racial points--does not matter.
no ai races == good ... who needs them.
wait for gold == yes. I think this is the best way to test it.

I have two pbem friends who want to join.... They both role play.

PBW is good.
